M-Audio Venom - Venomous to the Maximus [NO TALKING DEMO]

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Marshal Arnold

"M-Audio Venom - Venomous to the Maximus [NO TALKING DEMO]

Almost 10 years go M-Audio released their first synthesizer the Venom (2011). Sadly, this was also their last Synthesizer, at least to date. I remember being super jazzed about this synth after seeing videos at NAMM and seeing demos from Sonic State and others.

I had sold mine many years ago after being super disappointed in it and seems as though I was not alone. These synths now go for about $100.00-150.00 USD. When new they were quite a bit more. Anyway I picked one up about a year ago to have some fun, this video is a no talking demo of some of the performance presets. I moded a few of these, but ll audio is direct from the M-Audio Venom, no post processing was done."

FEF by NYZ

"The delightfully titled FEF consists of pieces made on the Yamaha TX802 synth, driven by his self-designed MANIAC cellular automata sequencer. Glassy FM tones and microtonal tunings make for eerily melodic, playfully exploratory pieces.

NYZ is UK Midlands born, New South Wales based Dave Burraston, who also operates variously as Noyzelab, Dave Noyze and Bryen Telko. He's studied and worked with audio synthesis and computer science since the 1970s, culminating in a 2006 PhD thesis on Generative Music & Cellular Automata. Musical collaborators have included Oren Ambarchi, Russell Haswell and Aphex Twin (with whom he conducted the technically revealing 2014 'SYROBONKERS!' interview), and has had releases on labels such as Entr'acte, Fractal Meat Cuts and Important Records.

released May 1, 2020

Recorded Sept 2018 & Feb 2019 / Mixed January 2020 at Noyzelab.

Thunderstorm field recording on FM40P::cicFLUFFYCLOUDZ is an excerpt from Syracuse Storm, recorded July 2017 Syracuse, New York, USA in my guest bedroom at the house of Doug Quin & Peggy Droz.

Yellow Orange Elektron SidStation - Golden Child - Extremely Rare

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is it, one of the rarest Elektron SidStation ever. Comes with OS R33 installed. Works perfectly. Switching power supply included, only US connector. A plethora of pretty much unobtainable extras and memorabilia, see images. Original manual and original box. For the very serious collector only."

Anyone know if this came from the factory / Elektron this way? Thought it might just be a custom job, but if so it is well done. It could be a CustomSynth.uk design... If you know feel free to leave a comment.
