CouCou on MARS 火星日常- GayBird梁基爵 (7mins trailer)

Published on Oct 31, 2013

There's some interesting synth spotting in this one including some unique instruments by GayBird.
Pictured below you can see some of that gear along with an EMS SYNTHI and an Analogue Systems eurorack modular. Further below you'll find an image of the "Crispy Cloud", "a special guitar for new media electronic musician. Acoustic guitar got six strings and a resonator, while this custom-made cloud-shaped guitar got 70 buttons and a touch-screen device."  In the video you can also see a monome64, djtechtools MIDI Fighter and Ableton's Push. There's an Undead Instruments TimeFrog III at 2:53 and 3:17.

DIY PPG Wave 2.2 & Retrosound.de Oscillator

via Marko Ettlich - RetroSound on Facebook.

Well, sort of.  :)

A funny side note is I was checking out my Nord Micro Modular today and flipping through some of the patches loaded on it.  I came to patch 22 titled "Classic PPG". I was curious what sort of oscillator was loaded so I squinted and took a look.  You can see what I saw in the image below. The first oscillator is named "marko ettlich"! I couldn't believe it. This was before I saw this DIY PPG BTW. I wasn't sure if I was going to post anything on it, but when I saw Marko's post, I new I had to. The Nord Modular editor lets you rename modules. It's actually a formant oscillator like the ones you see below it. According to Marko, he created the patch back in 1997. I started the original MATRIXSYNTH.com back in October of 1997. It all comes full circle...

Analogue Solutions Polymath Paraphonic Modular Synthesiser #02

Published on Nov 4, 2013 rezfilter·63 videos

"More live Polymath!

Here's a little paraphonic action (chords) while Polymath's onboard sequencer steps a steady rhythm. Nothing is processed and MIDI is NOT used in this example. The chords were played live, hence the slight off-beat nature of the performance.

After the first bit, you'll hear ENV1 being switched to ENV2 (manually).

A new Polymath playlist has now been created on YouTube and new videos will continually be added . You can subscribe to the rezfilter channel to get the updates!

Enjoy!"

Arturia Jupiter 8v multitrack: "The Elevator" - Alphaville cover

Published on Aug 6, 2013 David Witkowski·7 videos

"Here's a multitrack using only the software synth Arturia Jupiter 8V, the recreation of the classic Roland synth. Only the drums and vocals are not Jupiter 8V.

The song is a cover of an old Alphaville song 'The Elevator' or "The Nelson Highrise (Sector One: The Elevator). It's the b-side of 'Sounds Like A Melody' from 1984."

Published on Aug 6, 2013 David Witkowski·7 videos

"A multitrack of the Roland Paraphonic RS-505 stringer-synth. A little external delay and reverb added. No eq or compression.

A great synth/stringer with glorious chorus ensemble.

Yamaha SY-1 preset synthesizer demo

Published on May 12, 2012 David Witkowski·7 videos

"Short demo tune made with only Yamaha SY-1 sounds. It's a great but much underrated synth. It has a fantastic aftertouch, which really adds to a beautiful and organic musical expression. It kinda sounds sounds like a monophonic preset version of the great Yamaha CS-80. Even though it's a preset synth, there's plenty of programmability to shape the sound

"Winter" a Yamaha SY-1 song

Published on May 12, 2012

"This is a multitracked songs made only with the Yamaha SY-1. (Only the chords are not SY-1) Yamaha SY-1 is a preset analog synthesizer from 1974, with awesome aftertouch and plenty of programmability to shape the sound. It has a lot of life and character."
