These sounds are mushed together and garnished with some Ableton effects, to create this deliciously dreamy synth.

"The electronic instrument's value is chiefly as a novelty. With greater attention on the part of the engineer to the needs of the musician, the day may not be too remote when the electronic instrument may take its place... as a versatile, powerful, and expressive instrument."

Modded Synare S3X Drum Synthesizer

via this auction

"This has to be absolutely one-of-a-kind: A 1980's vintage Synare S3X Drum Synthesizer, modified to accept input from an external audio source. The trouble is, it doesn't work...

If you're not familiar with the S3X, it's pretty cool, when it works. It's an upgrade of the orginal, somewhat legendary Synare 3 (PS 3), a dual-oscillator analog synthesizer that's triggered by drum hits. Knobs on the side provide easy tweaking and routing of the oscillators, the filter, and the VCA. There's lot's of information available from the Google on the Synare S3X and some nice demos to be found on YouTube. The big improvements of the S3X over the PS3 are fourfold:

The S3X uses an external AC adapter instead of two internal 9-volt batteries.
There's an external voltage out so multiple drums can be chained together and powered by one AC adapter
The S3X has 5 adjustable presets.
The S3X can be triggered by a Synare Sequencer, which was sort of an early proto-midi type controller box.

On top of all that, the S3X being auctioned here has an additional input labeled "EXT MIC" and a switch to toggle between "PAD" and "MIC". It's a pretty ingenious mod, actually, insofar as the Synares use a small speaker under the drum pad to supply an audio source to the synth controls..."
