AudioThing SX1500 - Virtual Jen SX-1000

"Analog Synth Emulation for Kontakt 4.2.2

In the lab, for years, covered by other instruments and things, there was this old Italian analog synthesizer from 1979: the Jen SX1000. Monophonic with just 1 oscillator, it was often called “poor man’s Moog”. It is always hard to sample analog gears so, instead of trying to clone it (which is obviously impossible for a sampler), we decided to use the samples of each waveform to build an hybrid synthesizer taking advantage of the Kontakt Script language. It sounds both vintage and new! It is also possible to drift the oscillators to emulate the tuning problems of vintage analog synthesizers and to hear the usual knobs noise caused by dust while tweaking them. The Performance View follows the original parameters scheme adding, of course, new features."

Thelonius Bostik demonstrates the White Star 750 vintage analog synthesizer

YouTube Uploaded by TheloniusBostik on Apr 23, 2011

"The White Star 750 analog synthesizer was originally marketed by Carlsberg in 1969. It featured Twin Sub-Frequency Oscillators, Theramin Infinity Coil, Impasse Filters, and a 7 Phase Counter-Culture Pig Illuminator Switch.

Thelonius Bostik is blessed to own the world's only surviving operational example.

In the accompanying film, Thelonius gets himself totally wasted before performing; it is the first time in almost four decades that the instrument has been heard publicly.

jomox mbase 11 analog kick drum synth

via this auction

"Here’s some stuff from the Jomox site: 'The MBase11 can do only one thing, but it does it right: Phat kick drums!

It generates analog bass drums, from extremely powerful to soft and covers the whole range from 909-style to 808-fashioned. And much more...the LFO has 8 different waveforms including true sine that can be used to create very different envelopes. The resulting sounds are not simply *kicks*...this turns out to be a bass drum *synthesizer*.

Casio VZ-1 keyboard synthesizer

via this auction
"Velocity and aftertouch sensitive - quite a nice keyboard to play
3 mod wheels - 1 for pitch, 1 for LFO pitch mod, 1 freely assignable but to a limited range of options, e.g. portamento time etc
Comes with original owners manual (which is a little dog-eared on the front cover)
Also comes with an external ROM card (extra 64 presets, plus 64 Op Mem presets)
Also comes with Casio dust cover and standard power cable kettle lead
64 internal user patches
64 internal Operation Memory user patches (combinations, splittable keyboard, stacked, stereo layered patches etc)
64 card ROM presets
64 card ROM Op Mem presets
8 oscillators per voice, each with their own envelopes, pitches, mods and choice of waveforms, can be used individually or set into 4 lots of pairs for ring / phase / external phase modulation
16 voices
4 part multi-timbral / splittable / stackable either internally or over MIDI
Capable of enormously 'phat' sounds that evolve - very digital sounding, but in a good way
In numerous respects it is technically more capable than a DX-7, but although Casio targeted their VZ range at the DX market, the two are quite different sounding in practice. I have both and love both, neither is a pale imitation of the other.
Note that there is no filter in the conventional analogue style sense, but you can create excellent sounding digital filter effects using careful oscillator programming.
Neither is there an arpeggiator or in-built multi-effects - this is an old school, serious 'pure' synth...
