Cheetah MS800 Digital Wave Synthesizer
Digital wavetable synthesizer module manufactured in the early 1990´s by Cheetah International LTD in UK
"Dirty, gritty, grungy sounding 8-bit companded digital wavetable synthesis makes for cutting sounds that can be made to evolve a la ppg etc. Bell type waves are great in particular. Lots of aliasing going on coupled with the complete lack of any kind of filter or tone control gives this synth a particular bite"

EK-Lounge Session4
Title link takes you to more shots. Stefan Trippler sent these to the SynthSights list. You might recognize the modular in the background from Aliens-Project.
Minion Samples
Remember Minion? Title link takes you to some samples sent in via Brian Comnes. Note the zip is just the zipped version of the mp3s."2 dry 2 wet with Minion driven by AudioMulch and extracted to Wav then MP3 . The Airporter clip wet really got nice, dark and organic with Minion, much less bright than the dry version. As the www.devine-machine.com site says when you just have to have 4 filters driven by 12 LFO, whatcha gonna do?? The eye candy while it is operating is definitely cool. Price is right too - FREE!. This program will give AntaresTech FILTER which I also use quite a run for the money ...FILTER is $120"
Creamware ASB Samples
Looks like samples are up for the Creamware ASB modules. Title link takes you there. Click on an ASB box on the left to get to their corresponding product page, then click on Audio Examples.
Electric Moog Orchestra - Close Encounters of the Third Kind
flickr by jon_blak.
Hmm... I know Philip Dodds and the ARP 2500 were featured in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Philip Dodds the head engineer of ARP is the guy playing the 2500 in the scene where they communicate to the mothership. The story is he was flown out to show how to work the synth and was asked to be in the film. I never thought about what other synths might have been featured.

Yamaha CS50
Title link takes you to shots via this auction. Note this one is up for auction via Dave Lovelace of The Pakrat.
Jomox M-Resonator Samples
Title link takes you to the samples via Brian Comnes:"Here are some Jomox M-Resonator MP3 samples I made. Three from KORG EA-1 presets (No booing please) and two from my x0xb0x. If I had more time I would have made them a little better, but they are what they are. All 5 start out 100% dry and then the M-Resonator bypass is turned off becoming 100% wet.
I really like this effect pedal overall, it is much more subtle than say a Metasonix sledge hammer. I am using it in a send/return loop in my main rig so it never gets beyond 50% wet and given the way it works having some original signal in the mix is probably a good idea. You can hear on the samples that while twiddling you can easily filter out the whole signal so it is better as a send effect for that reason. It really does fatten up drum synths in a great way. I couldn't recreate a sound I had last night, but it will definitely generate bass artifacts that will pop your sub voice coils if they are wimpy. WHUMP!!
This thing is very sensitive, little movements have a BIG impact not always positive. It is really easy to find pure trash, or pure whistling resonance, it even clucks like a chicken in places, but there are a lot of sweet spots on the boundaries , the trick is finding therm again after you have moved another knob. Take a look at the signal flow in the screen shot I took from the manual, and you can see it takes a while to get your head around what is going to happen next.
The only real bitch I have is that the paint is dark blue and the lettering is black so it IMPOSSIBLE to read the knobs except under bright lights.. I work with a black and white printout cut from the manual. Someday I'll just have it memorized.
Enjoy
Peace
Brian"

SEQ24
"Seq24 is a minimal loop based midi sequencer. It was created to provide a very simple interface for editing and playing midi 'loops'. After searching for a software based sequencer that would provide the functionality needed for a live performance, such as the Akai MPC line, the Kawai Q80 sequencer, or the popular Alesis MMT-8, I found nothing similar in the software realm. I set out to create a very minimal sequencer that excludes the bloated features of the large software sequencers, and includes a small subset of features that I have found usable in performing."
