"If you've made it this far into Synth School without dropping out or changing your major to something less technical, then congratulations. You're nearly ready for graduation day. Today we'll be picking up where we left off with Thor's oscillator types, namely the multi-oscillator and the noise oscillator. There's a lot to these simple looking modules! From there we'll move over and take a look at the filter sections in Thor and I'll introduce you to the semi-modular routing buttons which help move signals through Thor."

Oramics from Nick Street on Vimeo.

"A brief glimpse of Daphne Oram's pioneering and unique 'Oramics' synthesiser, designed in 1957 after she left the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop to pursue the project.

The machine, recently acquired by Goldsmiths College, is now in the hands of The Science Museum in London and is currently being restored. It hasn't been performed since the 1970s.

55 No Sequencer Sequence

YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Mar 21, 2011

"In this video I try to see if I can make a sequence without actually using a sequencer. So I put three square wave oscillators into a quantizer and let the quantizer trigger the sound of the patch. The three oscillators first run out of sync and then get synced to see how that affects the sequence. The result is very interesting and ever changing. Adding modulation furthers the experience."

A test of my "dozen LFO" max patch, complete with MIDI learn (although that part is not really demoed in this)
