"The PolyKB II Player is much more than a simple player. It's also a fully featured real synth.

It gives you the liberty to fully customize 8 parameters you can select in a big list: Adsr values, Filter Cut Off and resonance, etc -See the complete list of parameters below -

But there's more : These parameters can also receive full automation via midi Cc. Its rather rare to have to automate more than 8 controls in real time for a preset, in addition of all the real times controls already contained in the preset and made available by our Sound Designers ( Ie the original Mod Wheel, After Touch, Velocity, LFO and envelope modulation assignations )

The PolyKB II PLayer also comes with the same acclaimed 250 hi quality preset library than its big brother.

Its also fully compatible with our Analog Bags 1 & 2 Add On soundbanks, as well as with some 3rd party soundsets, so you can extend the original library at a very affordable price. All your custom patches are also saved via your host, and projects using custom patches are saved with all your edits.

The PolyKB II Player is protected with a serial number, no USB dongle required !"

TINYSIZER analog modular synth system. One of the smallest modular synthesizer in the world!

YouTube via Uploaded by ANALOGTOMMY on Mar 3, 2011

"This is the first video from my new "updated" TINYSIZER analog modular synthesizer. The analog modular synth includes now a TFT stand, flexible lamp, free patchable slewlimiters, a very small 12 volt DC psu, LFO speedswitches etc. For more details check my web:

www.anyware-instruments.de

(updatet asap with the new features)

Have fun :-)"

Improvisation on Doepfer Modular Synthesizer

YouTube Uploaded by hyperdust7 on Mar 4, 2011

"Improvised noise on a small Doepfer suitcase modular synthesizer. Since I did this it has expanded into a second case. You might notice a black cat creeping around. He's called Zac and gets into some of my videos."

Vox Jennings Univox and Hammond Solovox tech and sound check!

YouTube Uploaded by sounddoctorin on Mar 4, 2011

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com leads us on tour inside and out of the original monophonic organ/synths. (With very simple synth features like footage selections and slow attack envelope on the Hammond) Actually the Hammond Solovox (produced from 1940 to 1950 nearly I hear) is a scaled down mono version of the 170 tube 500 some pound Hammond Novacord (Made in 1938!) Novacord was a full polyphonic divide down synthesizer like many transistor ones create in the 70's (Arp Omni etc.) Probably the most ahead of it's time musical instrument ever created.

The Solovox's tone cabinet contains the divider tubes and mixer tubes as well as a huge relay can that operates each time a key is hit. There are three relays that route signals for each of the three 'buss segments'. I said 'three buss' keyboard in the video but it's not three parallel buses but rather three single buss segments. 1 per octave. The footages are prearranged by those switches to be apportioned appropriately to the three buses.

THen after the relays properly route things from the high low and mid mixes, we go to the filters that are selected by the buttons beneath the keys. The capacitor ladder and mechanical vibrato are also housed therein with the knee volume lever that uses a set of resistances to gradually increment the volume.

We'd love to find more information on the Jennings unit if anyone has it! A schematic would be awesome!

The Univox has simplified things to get a great tube sound into a much smaller box by 1954. The keys are also much more playable! The short keys on the Solovox take some getting used to. Definitely some useful sounds!"
