The Amazing Casio CZ-5000: A Complete Review and Tutorial

video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

"Weeks ago I acquired a 1980's flagship synth: the Casio CZ-5000. Used by famous electronic musicians the world over, the CZ-5000 is a powerhouse of phase distortion goodness. In this video I explain how its unique Phase Distortion synthesis engine works, then demonstrate how to operate all of the controls to create and modify sounds. Lastly, I give an overview of some of the kinds of sounds this synth can create."

PlantsSystem-HirajoshiModulator

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest work, 'Hirajoshi Modulator' is a refined experimental piece built using Renoise phrase scripting engine. In a composition inspired by the classical chord scale 'Hirajoshi' the abstract tones produced by the SEQUENTIAL Prophet-5 continue to transform with meticulously controlled patterns. The series of sounds woven by the machine and the senses go back and forth between tranquility and tension, penetrating deeply into the listener's consciousness. It is systematic, yet somehow poetic. It is a work that vividly depicts the artist's pursuit of the possibilities of sound."

Suncrest Echoes | Dual Elektron Monomachine IDM with the new aftermarket +Drives from MachineStore

video upload by MIDERA

"Last night we decided to get a Corn Snake. I used to have a beautiful California King Snake that I sadly parted ways with back in 2014. I deeply regret that. My daughter was begging to have a pet that was 'hers' and after thinking through the options (my favorite being a rat, but I'm allergic to them now), we went with a snake. My daughter kept going back to one that had a 'small tail', making it B grade. It's likely it was incubated too hot and now has a defect. But it was cute that she continued to choose that one over all the others. I think deep down she figured I'd be most likely to accept the 'cheapest one' but she maintains it was because she felt bad for it because no one seemed to want her. She named the snake Mocha because "you both like Mochas" (referring to me and my wife). Currently, the snake has been staring at me for the last 30 minutes.

I also wanted to plug the new +Drives for the Elektron Monomachines and Marchinedrums. If you have these instruments, definitely consider the upgrades if you don't have them. I purchased TWO of them. Installation was incredibly simple too. Here's a set of links to check out. Ask questions too!
