dave smith mopho keyboard demo by jschnable
"Just a little demo of the Dave Smith Mopho keys, being sequenced in Ableton Live 8. Recorded in with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP on two Live channels, processed with separate delays on each. Drums were just sort of quickly keyed in and looped.

Around 4:10 you get to hear the filter self-oscillate a bit (I could have pushed it more). Otherwise, it's an OK example of the range you can get tweaking the Freq, Cutoff, and Filter Env, Filter Attack, and Filter Decay.

You can check out photos of the keyboard here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzdNonz"

The Norman Conquest - nadir & ZENIT

"nadir & ZENIT inhabit two different realms of temporality. ZENIT sculpts time with textures hurtling your consciousness through the cosmos faster than the speed of light. nadir invokes stillness seeping you in layers of cosmic dust; suspending time. The experience can be furthered by playing both tracks simultaneously; creating a supernova of sound that swirls and bellows around you. Both pieces were realized using only vintage analog synthesizers recorded to analog tape with many layers of multi-tracking. nadir was created on an ARP Axxe, and ZENIT was made with a Sequential Circuits Pro One.

AMSynths AM8109 JP8 Low Pass VCF & June 2012 Newsletter

via AMSynths

"This module is replication of the Low Pass Filter from the legendary Roland Jupiter 8 and 4. This is a 2 and 4 pole OTA design that Roland first used in the Jupiter 4 in 1980, replacing a discrete version of the filter which took up more PCB space.

This is a warm sounding filter with smooth frequency control and a resonance that gradually increases up to full self oscillation, a sound very reminiscent of the early 1980's.

The difference between 2 and 4-pole modes is not dramatic, with the 2-pole mode providing a more gradual cutoff slope and silky sound.

You might remember this one from this video back in September of 2010.

Via the June 2012 Newsletter:

"Latest News: We have had a busy few weeks shipping modules and completing the design of the AM8075SE Athena VCF and the AM8005 SH-5 VCF ready for launch in June.

TransX and the Computer Music Guide Music Compilation

via Chris Gunn on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"I’m pleased to announce our first ever compilation album of community submitted songs! Each submission must be an original composition and be a mainly synth driven piece.

I’d like to do this each year with a different theme and since it’s summer, our first theme will be “Hot Summer Nights”. Think the 1908′s and the perfect sound track from Jan Hammer tune or a John Carpenter theme to a movie about killer robots! Or even light up the floors with a hot ’80′s new wave hit! It’s completely up to you!"

Details on Computer Music Guide. And no, I don't believe TransX is associated with this. It's a just a keytastic shot!
