ARP 3620 Keyboard Control Section

via this auction

"Complette ARP3620 keyboard module and connector. It's the later, duophonic version of the ARP2600 keyboard. Good condition, to rebuild a keyboard or to gain (very rare!) ARP spare parts. Two 2N3958 transistors have been pulled (but there are serveral sources for them on the net). Sold explicitely as broken."

iSynth iPad Synthesizer Review

YouTube Uploaded by ipadloops on Nov 18, 2011

"This is my review for iSynth Version 1.0 - iSynth (not to be confused with the iPhone photo editing app) is a virtual monophonic analog-synthesizer for your iPad. iSynth is designed and optimized for live performances. So far NOT my favorite synth. This is version 1 and there is no support for CoreMidi. The key selling point to this synth is the fact that you can stream the audio from it to an AirPlay device. I do not have an AirPlay amplification system so I could not test this feature. Other than that it's pretty much your basic monophonic dual oscillator synth for the iPad. I did not like how the knobs behaved. They were difficult to control. I also did not like the fact that this synth can not be flipped horizontally. I use an Alesis iO Dock and it is designed to be used horizontally. I also noticed clicking in one preset."

"I have a Serge synthesizer on loan at home and go look for it's secrets in these two short movies. I'm using a a lot of feedback in this patch to make the different parts of the patch modulate itself."

Beep Poet 2 - Home made noise maker in a can

YouTube Uploaded by ChrisLody on Nov 17, 2011

"The Beep Poet 2 is available from Etsy in USD http://www.etsy.com/shop/SymetriColour and Folksy in GBP http://www.folksy.com/shops/ChrisDodsworthDesign

The first half of this video shows the Beep Poet 2 connected via its 1/4" jack and the second half shows it playing through its internal speaker.

The Beep Poet 2 is a battery powered noise maker in a can. Its great for making sound effects and silly noises.

It is controlled by 4 knobs, and 2 switches.

It has 2 oscillators (Red and Green knobs). Osc 1 produces audio frequency ranges whilst osc 2 produces LFO and audio frequencies which is great for extreme effects.

Osc 1 goes to the output through a simple passive filter (Yellow knob)

Osc 2 can modulate the pitch of osc 1 by the amount set by the blue knob or gate its volume when the modulation switch is turned on.

There is a switch to trigger the unit which can be locked in place by pushing it one way or give a momentary action by pushing it the other.

The knobs all go backward. This is because I'm using logarithmic knobs which make the oscillators easier to control when wired up the wrong way round.

The Beep Poet 2 has a small loudspeaker to produce sound but can also be plugged into external equipment via a 1/4" socket on the base of the unit.

The Beep Poet 2 is powered by a single 9v battery (not supplied) which can be installed by removing the nut around the 1/4" socket and removing the base.

Its mounted in a recycled tin can. It is also supplied with an instruction CDR."
