SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 / SOLTON PROJECT 100
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"Can't get enough of that Programmer 24 arpeggiator!
The filter has a real sweet spot where it sounds a bit like a Juno 6 or Polysix to our ears.
The range of the sounds are of course much less wide but for a simple machine it really does the job.
All sections are actually programmable although we have yet to attempt that - we did download and load a few programs on to it and it worked perfectly. "
ADDAC 601 / 8 band voltage controlled fixed filterbank / processing some noise / quick overview
video upload by BRiES
"In this quick video I run a mix of noise through the ADDAC 601 to demonstrate how the bands sound and how they respond to modulation for the VCAs on the seperate bands. I use the EVEN and ODD outputs panned left and right, and the WET output as well.
The mute switches only effect the sound at the WET/MIX output. The knobs and built in VCAs control the level of the bands for every output.

Harmonic/Additive Synthesis wth the KORG DSM-1
"Just a quick demo showing the Harmonic Synthesis component of the KORG DSM-1. You can add 128 different harmonics, each with a level of 0-255. Lots of waveform possibilities, though perhaps a bit of a slow process."

"Running some simple sounds created using the Harmonic Synthesis capabilities of the KORG DSM-1 into the amazing Roland R-301 Chorus Echo."

Make crazy sounds with fluorescent tubes, that you can control with a magnet
A project to create a plasma instrument About a year ago, we discovered a lot of fun could be had with a fluorescent tube and a magnet... Lit fluorescent tubes are filled with plasma - a low pressure electrified gas that can make oscillations at audible frequencies. With suitable control over the plasma in the tube, we found this instability could sound amazing... and could also be controlled with a magnet! (It is worth listening to the video with headphones, to hear details of the sound).
Playing with sound created in a glowing tube is tactile, surprising and absorbing, and we decided to develop a new kind of electronic instrument.
We are releasing this first-generation machine for people to try out a new way to make noise. It is a sort of proto-instrument - an experimental machine to be experimented with!
Having machines out in the world will help explore what is possible, as there is a lot of unexplored territory here - we don't have much audio equipment, and have tried a dozen or so tubes. By making these machines available now, we hope to not only fund further development but also let collective experimentation inform its direction.
There are pros and cons to using commercial tubes for this. The sound from different fluorescent tubes can vary considerably, so trying out a new tube is an inexpensive bit of fun. It is currently possible to find various types of suitable (T5, 9"/ 225 mm, 6 W) tubes potentially available, new and old stock. On the downside, these tubes are being phased out in the very near future (about 18 months in the UK), and they will become increasingly scarce as production declines - bad timing to find a new use for them! We will keep testing different tubes however, and secure adequate supplies of some good ones before they disappear. In the longer term our objective is to produce custom tubes, which will require further research and development.
We are offering this first on Kickstarter, as a good way to generate awareness of what we are doing and to generate funds to get the project going properly.

"Rare Neptune II monosynth in excellent condition. This was bought NEW from SA just a few months ago--they still had one in stock and Markus checked over/calibrated before shipping. It's a very dynamic 3 osc synth, does standard vintage analog sounds along with some really tight FM stuff. Snappy envelopes and nice saturation at different points (mixer and output). Also functions as a MIDI-CV/Gate converter."
