Dazibao Color Based Software Synthesizer for Mac
DemoDazibao2.m4v
YouTube Published on Apr 24, 2012 by HNMusiqueTV
"Introduction to a new music synthesizer. This musical instrument helps to create the sounds using colors and graphs. You can create easily and fast complex sounds with instead of using a modular synthesizer."
"I have connected the modules of my synthesizers during twenty years. I'm bored with this kind of programmation. I wanted to create a music synthesizer as powerfull as a modular system, but with no jack and no slider.
It is easy to use Dazibao : first create some "sound colors" thanks to an analogy between colors and sound. The hue modifies the wavefrom, the saturation and brightness control the filters and the level of the noise generator. Even more, this color includes detune, vibrato and space effects. You just need then to associate these colors in a patch to create rich or complex evolutions of the sound."

Innerclock Systems Sync-Shift MKIII Video Overview & Demo
Sync-Shift MKIII.mp4
YouTube Published on Apr 24, 2012 by innerclock2004
"Midi Clock and Din-Sync Redefined: Real-Time Tempo-Sync Offset Correction and Slave Syncopation Interface
Dedicated and separate Midi Clock to Din-Sync and Din-Sync to Midi Clock Conversion ICs with ultra-low, constant conversion lag time so your sync offset remains fixed and tight.
Proprietry Innerclock Sync-Shift Din Sync Offset and Real-Time Lag Correction Engine lets you compensate for common hardware and software Midi Clock and Din Sync start lag time issues plus it has two full bars of Shift available so you can easily syncopate sync slave devices or software against the master. The rotary push-pull Shift 'Fine Tune' lets you rush or drag the slave against the groove in real-time with no loss of sync. Go from hard 16th swing to phase-locked grid quantised and back again all in one bar and in real-time.
Modular/Discreet design with no CPU multiple personality disorders. We could have done all three jobs on one chip with a shared instruction set but we didn't. From experience, especially where synchronisation is concerned, sharing hardware resources is a bad idea. Each of the three core components that makes up the Sync-Shift Mk III has its own dedicated IC and ultra-lean code. This means they work great in isolation and there is no loss in performance when you connect them together.
The Sync-Shift MKIII is really three separate, high quality devices in one compact package where the whole truly is greater than the sum of the parts.

Elektron Sid Station with Original Box
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Pic of the inside.
"The Sid Station is a 3 oscillator synth that uses The Commodore 64 Voice Chip for its oscillators. Each oscillator has its own wave table sequencer and its own Arpeggiator per oscillator. It has 3 VCA and 3 VCA EGs, 1 for each oscillator, then it goes into a Multimode Analog Filter (very Dirty) and the VCF has it's own envelope generator as well. You have 4 fully programable LFO to route to almost any part of the synth including routing an LFO into another LFO. On the front panel you have 4 programmable knobs to assign any function to control the patch. The Sid will ship with the Giraya Sound Bank set and any of the other sound sets can be downloaded from the Elektrons web site.
The Sid is a monophonic synth but can be put into a fake Poly mode where each oscillator then makes up 1 voice poly making the Sid Station 3 note polyphonic. It can Sync to midi clock as well."

Rheyne - iOS Jam - 4/24/12 (Live Jam #41) Lemur, AniMoog, Geo, and Griid
YouTube Published on Apr 24, 2012 by RheyneMusic
"Stream or download an audio-only version of this jam at SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/K8qcgA
A 100% live improvised jam using only iOS devices and Ableton Live. Lemur is running on two iPads, AniMoog is on a third iPad, Geo Synthesizer is on an iPhone and Griid is running on an iPod Touch. This is a combination of live audio input, wireless MIDI, and wired MIDI through an iConnectMIDI on the lower right iPad. All effects and filters are from Ableton Live, remotely controlled by the custom Lemur templates.
The audio from AniMoog and Geo is being fed into a PreSonus 1818VSL connected to a Macbook Pro. The drums are from NI's Kontakt, and the yellow and red synths controlled by Lemur are the same Massive patches from the RheyneLooper (http://youtu.be/ZvXngE-LiKI). More controls have been added since the RheyneLooper versions, and will be released soon in a "Version 2" of the download package available at Liine's user library.
No preparation was done for this piece in terms of preset tempos or pre-recorded loops. The tempo was determined by the first loop recorded on drums through Lemur. All loops are recorded live."
Bad Trader / Scam Warning
Full thread on Muff's here. You be the judge. In short, two separate people are claiming to have been ripped off and a third received recent trade requests. Normally scams in general would not go up here, but this one is particularly messed up because the person in question appears to be part of the community. This isn't your typical anonymous Craigslist or eBay scam.
The main tips I got from reading the thread is
1. FULLY insure your stuff in case something goes south
2. Make sure you get SIGNATURE confirmation on items you ship and not just Delivery confirmation. They are different.
3. Only trade with people who are widely known, active and recommended in the community.
4. If possible, trade in person in a VERY public place, and cover your back.
Always be careful and use common sense. Assume the worst and be paranoid. If the person doesn't understand why you are taking precautions, they are not worth your time.
Update: The Muff's thread is now public for those that are not members of the forum.
Also see this post for an update for various aliases he has gone by.
