YouTube Published on Sep 15, 2012 by AudioCentralMagazine
"Eight Grp A4 Analog Synthesizers in MIDI File playback from Logic; just straight MIDI playback, no dynamics adjust, no sound research... maybe the last time to have eight (of 45 units for 2012) A4 synthesizers simultaneously available."

Atomic Shadow - Drums Against The Machine
Atomic Shadow - Drums Against The Machine from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.
"I set up a self playing S/H patch on the EMW-200 and ran the result through the STG Sea Devil and Krisp1 ring mod. All of the raw sound is coming from the EMW-200, the Krisp1 mini LFO was controlling the filter. Part of the signal made it through the Strymon El Capistan echo pedal. The improvised drums were then performed live with the patch on the V-Drums. The film was then finished by Micky Dodds who also made the film for February-Moon Of Ice from the Twelve Full Moons album."

Custom G1 Soundwave Monotribe
via Larry: "You can make your own overlay for many Korg, Dave Smith, Roland, and Native instruments at www.styleflip.com. They have a web based editor that is very good for designing your overlay but you can really customize your designs with a web based graphics editor like www.pixlr.com. It helps to have objects in the design on separate transparent layers to adjust for knob placement. 
They print your design on A 3m plastic which is about as thick as a playing card but pretty sturdy. The surface is textured and feels similar to the front of a DSI TETRA. I was worried that my design would end up looking like a lunch box but it still Looks and feels like a synth. I thought it was fun and satisfying to make one of these. I wish they had a template for the xoxbox."
Clavia Nord Stage 2 76 keys fully weighted keys

"This incredible keyboard is the best stage piano out there, with beautiful and exquisitely detailed sounds that feel truly alive. It allows you to load in your choice of grands, uprights, (multiple different!) electric grands, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet, harpsichords, and more, each in a variety of sizes to accommodate your needs. No more being stuck with useless sounds that you don’t like! It has a separate synth section that is completely compatible with the entire Nord sample library, so you get synths, string machines, acoustic instruments, Mellotrons, and just about anything else you could want—even your own samples! There’s a real VA synth engine in there, too, with lots of real-time controls. And it has probably the best clonewheel organ ever made, which does Farfisa and Vox organs in addition to B3s.
Ergonomically, it’s got a velocity- and pressure-sensitive keyboard that feels great, a pitch-bender and a mod wheel, an internal power supply, an audio input, effects, jacks bolted to the chassis, and sturdy knobs that don’t wobble. It’s built like a tank, all metal and wood, yet it’s still compact and lightweight. Except for lacking a multitrack sequencer, it’s like a workstation that’s actually easy and fun to use. It’s an assembly of my favorite Nord sounds in it, but you can easily customize that with whatever sounds you want."

"The Blofeld is an amazing synth, and it's the culmination of all of Waldorf's technology to date. It easily rivals the Virus in terms of analog emulation, and is more lush and analog-sounding than any previous Waldorf synth. It's also got all the wavetables from the Q, the Wave/MicroWave, and the PPG on board (even the "upper" wavetable from the PPG Wave 2.3), so it can do amazing sonic morphs and soundscapes. Plus two types of comb filters, a fantastic emulation of the PPG filter and its piercing resonance, a range of drive curves and waveshaping options, a killer programmable arpeggiator, and so on. Plus it's tiny, it's built like a tank, and it's got a beautiful, informative graphic display."

Novation Nova IIX

"The Nova IIX is one of the best virtual analogs ever made, which is why you don't see them for sale very often. The Nova II has the complete synth engine from the top-of-the-line Supernova II, and this is the X version, which means that it has 24 voices. It's got an unbelievably fat and smooth sound, and some features that most brand-new synth models don't even have. It can shriek, belch, and howl like a massive 80s analog polysynth, or it can be silky, sparkly, and ethereal like a D50 or WaveStation. Or both at once.
It's got multiple filter types, including many dual-filter configurations and an 18dB lowpass option that gives it a wicked, squelchy, 808 sound; 8 different FM and ring mod algorithms; virtual sync oscillators so you can use hard sync on a single oscillator without using up any of the other three oscillators per voice; modulatable doublesaw waves plus additional wave options via sync skew, formant width, and hardness waveshaping; the best programmable arpeggiator in the industry; balanced inputs and 6 independent outputs; an excellent 42-band vocoder; an internal power supply (just say no to wall warts!); user-rewritable memory for 512 programs; separate hardware controls for each multitimbral performance part; a constant gate button for the inputs and vocoder; and the icing on the cake—7 independent simultaneous effects on EACH of 6 multitimbral parts in a performance!"

Bee Gee's Music Synthesizer & Rhythm Machine -- 1978

"The Bee Gee's Electronic Music Synthesizer and Rhythm Machine. Takes a 9 volt battery. Works Great! On/off switch and volume control. Three different rhythms with a tempo button to speed up and turn off. Has a tuning button to change keys up and down. I listed it as "used" but I don't believe it's ever been used. The box is a little worn around the edges but the synthesizer is in very good shape."
