-Radiohead used it on Exit Music (For a Film) off of the OK Computer album. That awesome fuzzy bass line came right out of this synthesizer!
-CV/Gate outputs to control vintage analog equipment. The only real alternative to this is to buy a midi-to-cv/gate converter that will cost as much as the super bass station, if not more.
-It can do a whole lot more than just make great bass sounds. Although it was marketed specifically for this function, there is nothing preventing it from generating leads, pads, noise, or whatever you can think of!
-It's an analog synthesizer with full midi implementation. "
Taylor Kuffner lets us into his work space and talks about his roboticized gamelan dubbed the "Gamelantron" which he uses Ableton to control. He also talks about his desire to create real physical live music experiences through creative means through both his Gamelantron and experiments with multipoint sound installations.
The Gamelatron is built with technology from LEMUR. LEMUR: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. Founded in 2000 by Eric Singer, LEMUR creates exotic, sculptural musical instruments which integrate robotic technology. The result is computer-controlled mechanized acoustic musical instruments which can perform music by and with human musicians.

"Useing the bottom wave mult as a sound source. Modulated by a pvco going into a variable bandwidth vcf . the clock for this is comeing from the dtg that also is cving the wave mult and the filter vcbw and vcf inputs. blah blah just listen dif textures no reverb or delay."

"Wave mult as a sound source . patch same as b4 just i don't touch this one as much i let it cycle and only hit the vc knob a tiny bit. listen to the subtle changes."
"Best of CGS "SWAMP" Sequencer playing w/ the BugBrand System. Dual BugBrand LFO's playing against each other - while clocking the Sequencer. Timbre of the E350 controlled by the 4x8 main sequence . . . while the melody/transposing is via the gated comparator/mini seq. The timing is subdivided via the Bug"Division" module. Then main output is fed back into itself through VCA control of PT Delay module. Finally a bit-o-reverb from the T-Resonator."
Update: it looks like there is enough interest for MATRIXSYNTH-P to launch. If anyone is interested in a post, send email to matrixsynthp@gmail.com. Note anyone is welcome to post including dealers and manufacturers. Remember, P is extra and does not change anything on M, B, or C. They will continue on as usual.
Original post: Quick question: Is anyone interested in a paid listing site? Currently M is about synth spotting, B is auction overflow, and C is music from readers of the site. P would be a paid listings site for private items for sale, upcoming gigs, or for promoting/posting whatever you want for that matter. It would be very similar in format to M, B and C with some key differences. Aside from being a paid listings site, the right would be dedicated to premium listings, and there would be a header section on top to filter by category. You can see an empty template here: MATRIXSYNTH-P. How much would a post cost? $3 per post and $5 for a premium post which would also get placement on the right of the site and go up on MATRIXSYNTH Twitter and Facebook. All posts will go up in a section on the top right of M, B, and C. This could change to premium posts only depending on how much goes up. Why charge for it? I'm busy enough on M, B and C. P would be extra and I think people could find it useful in selling items, putting up want ads, and promoting gigs and other things. And of course it helps support the time it takes to run all sites. Note, M, B and C would remain the same and posts on P could make it to M, B or C if they meet the criteria. Also posts previously featured on M could be re-posted on P if paid for. If you think you might be interested in using the new site's services please vote.
1. Title: Title you want for your post. 2. Body: Text you want in the body of the post. 3. Media: images or links to video and/or audio (you will need to host them yourself on SoundCloud, YouTube, Vimeo or other). Images can be hosted on P and videos and audio can be embedded using any of the services mentioned. 4. email contact info if necessary (for items for sale). The email alias (not the full address) can be used as a label for the post. This will allow sellers to build a reputation and allow buyers to filter posts by sellers to review feedback left in comments.
Note listings would be similar to Criagslist in that they are 100% between the buyer and seller. MATRIXSYNTH assumes no responsibility and cannot vouch for either the buyer or seller. The site will be a simple paid listings site. However, you will be able to review and leave comments in posts and you will be able to filter by seller alias labels. Of course any bad seller can just create a new alias and email address, but this would be the same on other sites.
Although you can submit anything for a post, there will be a bar including no hate, discrimination, illegal file sharing and the like. The bar will be pretty open to start though, as it would be interesting to see what sort of things come in. The best way to find out if it meets the bar is to send it in. If you have something you want to go up now, by all means, do send it in. It just takes one post to get it started and you could be the first.
