"just a quick look at how these modules look once constructed. Audio demonstrates one of the CV outputs of the 8-bit Cipher controlling an early Serge VCO and Serge vari-BW VCF.
The Great Divide and Logic are just a quick light show."

MATRIXSYNTH T Spotted on TV - Lirinha with Astronauta Pinguim on Keys

AO VIVO: Lirinha no Estúdio Showlivre

YouTube Streamed live on Nov 21, 2011 by showlivre

Show starts at 6:30. I believe this is the second time MATRIXSYNTH was featured on a TV broadcast. There was one on French TV posted here. I keep hoping to find a MATRIXSYNTH card somewhere on the IT Crowd.

Fabricio Carvalho (Astronauta Pinguim) on Keys: Minimoog Model D, Roland EP30 electronic piano and a Crumar Toccata organ. Be sure to check out his Moog tattoo. Igor Medeiros on Nord Modular.

Googlish (Original description further below):
"Is the highlight Lirinha Studio Showivre (www.showivre.com) broadcast live on November 21, 2011.

Singer-songwriter presents Lirinha your disk, Lira, work that marked a new phase which now follows the artist in solo work, after more than 10 year career with Cordel do Fogo Encantado.

In Lira, the musician reinvents itself with a sound that goes through the use of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, percussion and drums, resulting in a surprising and innovative foray into territory that is familiar: the fine line between music and poetry. Lirinha shows his maturity as an artist and songwriter, evolves into a cohesive work, with strong influence of the references that populate his songs."

Original description:
"Lirinha é o destaque do Estudio Showivre (www.showivre.com) transmitido ao vivo no dia 21 de novembro de 2011.

Cantor e compositor Lirinha apresenta seu disco, Lira, trabalho que marca nova fase do artista que agora segue em trabalho solo, depois de mais de 10 anos de carreira com o Cordel do Fogo Encantado.

Em Lira, o músico se reinventa com uma sonoridade que passa pela utilização de guitarras, teclados, sintetizadores, percussão e bateria, resultando em uma surpreendente e inovadora incursão em território que lhe é familiar: a tênue fronteira entre a música e a poesia. Lirinha mostra seu amadurecimento como artista e letrista, evolui em um trabalho coeso, com forte influência das referências que povoam as suas canções."

99 Old and New

"Something old, something new. This video features a lovely old radio that we were given by my girlfriends grandma a few years back. They were the original owners and the thing is in near mint condition. I love it to death and really enjoy listening to it. I use a small FM transmitter to unintrusively get sounds into the machine, sometimes just from Spotify, this time from the Buchla. It's my girlfriend playing the 222e.

I really hope the nice sound of the radio can be heard! I used a hand held recorder to get the sound from the air so to speak.

Celtic Melody - Layered Sounds using Geo Synthesizer and Samplewiz

YouTube Uploaded by timokc on Nov 29, 2011

"A quick performance on Geo Synthesizer, and using an extra layer of sound from Samplewiz. I intended to show how I had done this, but ran out of batteries on my camera. I guess I'll make that a separate video on another day.

The jist is that I turned off all midi channels but '2' in Samplewiz. To layer the sound, I started with the preset 'Wizard's Flute' in Geo Synthesizer with base channel set to 1, then switched the base channel to 2 to bring in the Samplewiz sound. The ability to use Geo Synthesizer's built in sounds (many of which are based on the Samplewiz presets) while sending midi to other programs has a lot of potential for changing sounds/textures on the fly while performing.
Still having a blast learning this new instrument. Thanks for listening."

The THINGAMAFREAK!!!

via this auction
"This unit is the love child of a THINGAMAGOOP and a FREAKENSPEAK! It has the insides of the THINGAMAKIT 2 (The first kit version of the THINGAMAGOOP) and the outsides of a FREAKENSPEAK! It no longer functions as a speak and read unit....it has had it's insides removed and replaced with the THINGAMAKIT electronics.

There are 2 photosensors located behind the holographic eyeballs, you can shine the green LED light on them and they light up and change the sound that the unit is making.

A great source for sampling sounds or for use live on stage. The size of this unit is approx. 6" dia and 2" high. It uses a 9 volt battery,not included..."
