GR 1 Sample Audition

"The GR-1 not only offers sample previews in the file selector it can also "audition" a loaded sample. Just press Shift+Play. Note that this is a firmware 1.4 feature."

Minimoog 2018 - sound experiments

Published on Jun 18, 2018 studentsmusic

"Of course the re-issued Model d has some mods compared to the 70s original and allows some synth experiments. Especially the LFO (OSC3) the modmatrix using osc3,noise, filter eg, lfo amazed me, allowing also double FM, the lfo reaching into ultra low now what makes the whole machine more complex than the original. Here i improvise with these features - take your time and listen to the variability of this at first sight clear to understand synth."

Gijs Gieskes - electromechanical modular synth @ Museum van Geluid

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Gearslutz

"We met the amicable Gijs Gieskes, who constructs electro mechanical machines, all for the purpose of making sound. For the Museum van Geluid (Museum of Sound) he brought a row of self constructed eurorack size modules, of course with an unorthodox way of controlling it.

STUFF – circuit bent toy

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Vola Noisy Stuff

"A short demo of a circuit bent toy rehoused in a custom box. The side panels are made by my friend Lassi who is an awesome wood worker.

Only a simple pitch mod and continuous mode added."

STUFF – The SQUEEZE

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Vola Noisy Stuff

"Sound demo of a touch synth called The Squeeze. The more contact with the skin in the hands there is the higher the pitch. It has a LFO that gates the signal and two wave forms a square and filtered square."

STUFF - Amatsonia

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Vola Noisy Stuff

"Amatsonia is a Arduino based synth made with the String synth program and schematics written by Jan Östman. You can find it here: http://blog.dspsynth.eu/how-to-build-...

I built the the synth fro my son, becoause he wanted a synth of his own. He designed the synth. I took a liberty on adding a snake to the graphics. He likes snakes.

There is an filter with lowpass, hipass and bandpass options. Also a delay and a LFO. The LFO controls the filters cut of frequency. The joystick can control the LFO speed and and the delay time.

This mainly a sound demo video. Not much actual video on it.

Hope you enjoy it."

The “Little Green NAND” synth

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Mike Sisk

"This is a small noise making synth I built from a Synthrotek 'NAND Synth' PCB and the head from a Toy Story 'Little Green Men' alien toy. Main pitch is controlled by the alien’s antenna. Knobs in each ear control the two oscillators with switches to shut each on or off independently. LED installed in each eye, red in the center for power and green on the sides to show the rate of each oscillator. Power switch and volume control on back with audio output on the nose. “Dive bomb” button and switch that select between two large capacitors which give a winding down sound as unit slowly loses power. Oscillator 2 switch selects a light depended resistor attached to the back of the oscillator 1 LED which in turn causes both to be controlled from oscillator 1 knob. Power starve knob that limits the power from the battery and causes a similar effect to the dive bomb but more drawn out. And lastly on the back of the head there is a CV input and switch that select between battery power or external CV. All of this is base around the 4093 IC on a PCB from synthrotek."

Orbit 9090 - Is a 90's dance synth still good for modern sounds ?

Published on Jun 17, 2018 100 Things I Do

"The Orbit is another one of those interesting Romplers from the late 90's early 2000's. I actually had one of these at the time but mostly used it for the inbuilt drum sounds. Like the DX-7 Programming can be a little like trying to paint the house through the mail box (Joke for the Brits I guess). It uses 1-2 synth samples to make up each of the presets and you can use the unique Z-Plane filters to morph and manipulate the sound. The Orbit was aimed at the Dance\DJ market at the time.. but with some careful programming you can get some very.... very nice ambient soundscapes from it!"
