Comparison: The Classic SH-01 GAIA vs the new GAIA 2

video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

"Roland has released the new GAIA 2 synthesizer, and it's a good one. The original SH-01 GAIA was an absolute classic - it was in production for 13 years! How worthy a successor is the new GAIA 2? I compare the two synths, show the lineage the new GAIA 2 has inherited from the old GAIA, and demonstrate some of the new features. Then I explain WHY I bought the new GAIA 2!"

"Ok. I’m sick of the eprom wars. So I decided to make something totally new!!! I made binary files from a Elektron machine drum ii and programmed them for a Druntraks.

(Man I love this.) this is so cutting edge. And no one has this set. It remained a me of having a whole brand new machine. But a drum traks."

video upload by HANJŌ

"Dive into the mesmerizing world of electronic music with my latest house jam, featuring the Elektron Machinedrum and the Analog Heat.

In this video, we take a sonic journey improvising on a house groove. I tried to to recreate the iconic sounds of the legendary Roland TR-909 and TB-303 with the Elektron Drummachine. You won't believe the depth and versatility of this incredible sampler and drum synth.
mind.

i will also be channeling the spirit of the classic TB-303, creating a deep and hypnotic bassline crafted on the machinedrum too.

Witness the magic of real-time tweaking as we explore the Machinedrum's intuitive interface, showing you how to improvise your beats on the fly."

ESK - X Audio Systems Beats FM - Noise Radio

video upload by Metunar

"The X Audio Systems Beats FM is a radio with analog filter, digital delay and a LFO. It is really noisy and some functions are not well implemented, but it makes a lot of fun to compose out of little radio excerpts a crazy soundscape. All noise, distortion, crackles and hiss are coming from the Beats FM, without any additional effect. Hope you like this 13 minutes of madness."

Vintage synth featured in 1957 film "Different from You and Me."

video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"The dangers of electronic music, according to a film about the menace of homosexuality from 1957 called 'Different From You and Me'. It features the Trautonium, a synthesizer from the 1930s that was created by Friedrich Trautwein and used by Oskar Sala. The film, which was called 'The Third Sex' or 'Bewildered Youth'(!) when released in the US, is about a prosperous German family whose son is lured into a seedy world of gay men, nude wrestling and avant garde electronic music by an effete friend and a licentious antique dealer.

Terrified that their son is not into women, the teen's parents induce their cleaning lady to seduce him and awaken his more 'natural' desires. This ends in the month's arrest for arranging prostitution!

While the film is based on homophobic ideas, the original version has some nuance and depicts some of its gay characters in a relatively balanced light for the time. Being gay was still a crime in Germany and elsewhere in the 1950s. However, before it could be released in West Germany censors insisted on changes, weaving in more anti-gay rhetoric, making the gay characters more criminal and removing scenes that showed gay men in positions of authority and respectability.

For me, it's remarkable only for the scenes featuring the synthesizer, but it is interesting that even then electronic music was associated with same-sex relationships, given that 20 years later the gay communities would be such a driving force behind the foundation of the electronic music scene.

I have uploaded all the scenes from this film that feature the Trautonium to my YouTube channel, which is also called Robotussin Vintage Synths."
