The Next Level - Xils-Lab Oxium demo, all sounds except drums are Oxium by SYNTHDemo
"All sounds except the TR606 samples and speech are from Oxium, vocoder eff etc is Oxium being vocoded by MeldaProduction MVocoder.
I'm still amazed by the sheer quality of sound from this synth, I'm a real sawtooth junkie and the sound of the sawtooth leads you can get from this synth have to be my favourite of any of the soft-synths I've tried. You can hear the excellent formant filter again showing it's skills in the fake talkbox lead in the 2nd half, format filter vowel being modulated using the modwheel during the solo.
All in all there is more to like about this orange monster every time I open it up. I haven't even played with the LeMasque modulation yet....

INSTANT FUN
The NTH is designed so that a complete beginner can quickly craft incredibly varied timbres. For the synth veteran, the NTH offers relief from layered menus and obscured functions. The NTH puts a smile on the face of musicians and non-musicians, synth geeks and synth novices, children and adults alike.
AWESOME SOUND
We started with a PIC microcontroller and 8-bit DAC to create a dual-pitch oscillator with modulation by waveform, amplitude envelope, detuning, and glissando. Then we added a gritty analog low-pass filter, integrated step sequencer, and simple, intuitive controls. Your initial experimentation will quickly reveal an astonishing range of output: from sweet and sublime to raw, thrashing, and retro sounds.
HACKABLE DESIGN
The NTH is designed for easy modification:
The NTH’s spare hardware DAC channel and electronics prototyping area await your experiments.
We’ve included an ICSP port for connection to the NTH’s PIC16F microcontroller. Use a low-cost USB programmer to modify, upgrade, or completely rewrite the firmware on your NTH.
The NTH Design Source Package includes the design files and source code for every detail of the NTH including electronic hardware, firmware, and enclosure. The package will be available for free download."

TOY #10 QUICKSHOT STUDIO 4 (1988) | funny demo

"Are you tired of cold, digital sounding recordings? The fully analogue QuickShot Studio 4 allows you to bring back the warmth of analogue in your recordings. The Studio 4 contains a great mixing console, a tape recorder, a microphone and very useful effects for the daily studio work...
QuickShot has also produced other high quality studio equipment like the 'Sound Machine'. This is a similar machine, just instead of the effects it contains a synthesizer ;-).
It came with shoulder straps, microphone and headphones.
As a kid I always wanted it, but nobody wanted to buy it for me... my parents had no clue how important analog recording to me was :-)"

MIDI Coming to HTML5 - Browser Based Synths
Think about it. Online synthesizers you can now map knobs to and play with a keyboard. Online modulars. Cross-platform, accessible on any device that supports HTML5 - iOS, Android, PCs, Macs, Linux...

"Abstract
Some user agents have connected music devices, such as synthesizers, keyboard and other controllers, and drum machines. The widely adopted Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol enables electronic musical instruments, controllers and computers to communicate and synchronize with each other. MIDI does not transmit audio signals: instead, it sends event messages about musical notes, controller signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues and clock signals to set the tempo, and system-specific MIDI communications (e.g. to remotely store synthesizer-specific patch data). This same protocol has become a standard for non-musical uses, such as show control, lighting and special effects control.
This specification defines an API supporting the MIDI protocol, enabling web applications to enumerate and select MIDI input and output devices on the client system and send and receive MIDI messages. It is intended to enable non-music MIDI applications as well as music ones, by providing low-level access to the MIDI devices available on the users' systems. At the same time, the Web MIDI API is not intended to become a semantic controller platform; it is designed to expose the mechanics of MIDI input and output interfaces, and the practical aspects of sending and receiving MIDI messages, without identifying what those actions might mean semantically.
To some users, "MIDI" has become synonymous with Standard MIDI Files and General MIDI. That is not the intent of this API; the use case of simply playing back a .SMF file is not within the purview of this specification (it could be considered a different format to be supported by the HTML5 <audio> element, for example). The Web MIDI API is intended to enable direct access to devices that respond to MIDI - external synthesizers or lighting systems, for example, or even the software synthesizers that are built in to many common operating systems. The Web MIDI API is also explicitly designed to enable a new class of applications on the web that can respond to MIDI controller inputs - using external hardware controllers with physical buttons, knobs and sliders (as well as musical controllers like keyboard, guitar or wind instrument controllers) to control web applications.
The Web MIDI API is also expected to be used in conjunction with other APIs and elements of the web platform, notably the Web Audio API and High-Resolution Time. This API is also intended to be familiar to users of MIDI APIs on other systems, such as Apple's CoreMIDI and Microsoft's Windows MIDI API."
