images via this auction
"It was made in USSR at Zhitomir factory "Estradin" in April of 1986. The instrument consists of four main blocks of sound synthesis - Generator, Mixer, Filter and Contour. Synthesis is based on 3 master oscillators (each of them with different parameters of registers) waveform, frequency modulation. There is also a generator of white & pink noise. Low-pass filter with main parameters gives the possibility for keyboard tracking. Portamento adjustment knob is provided. To tune a pitch the tone signal is used (440Hz) It provides a linear input to connect an external sound source to Altair. Output and input sockets are 1/4" jacks."

AlterEgo by L. D. Terkelsen

"An experiment into the sonorities of my theremin, led to this piece:
An improvised theremin track with chords on two tracks of Jupiter 8, bass from a Voyager and some drums from an 808 and DRM-1. All being played by a Genoqs Octopus synced to Ableton for recording it. Very little editing was done, basicly shortening the track and fading stuff up and down.
The vocal qualities of the theremin is because - ....well actually the truth is that it is really a soprano alien. A totally analogue alien off course."

"First clip I ever made, in 1996 or so, using a handheld scanner, Autodesk Animator, etc. Very high-tech! Music by me. The scrolling text is from a 'user's manual to the human brain', made for some art-show. By me."
via Danny:
"It was made in 1996 I think, using a handheld scanner, DeluxePaint running under DOS, Autodesk Animator, and Premiere 4. Some 3dStudio at the end. The music is made with a Roland SH-101 (multitracked), a modified Roland TR-606, a Casio SK1 for pads... and some drumhits. "

"The Triadex Muse is the first digital musical instrument and it was produced in 1972 rite here in Boston by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at MIT. The Muse is an alogorithmic music generating instrument in that it uses digital logic circuits to produce a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters. The unit has four small sliders that control volume,tempo,pitch and fine pitch.With large sliders on the right side,the Muse was designed to have the capacityto select notes and invent themes, as an early experiment in artificial intelligence. By adjusting these sliders you can control and change how the theme develops.An extremely rare piece,only about 240 of these were made and were not typically available for commercial sale."

Alesis Ion easy synth-ing 4: drive section overview

YouTube via se7ense7
"I upped this video for people wondering how the drive section of the Alesis Ion looks/sounds like.

I took a one-osc saw, made it 4 voice unison with 5 cents detuning and ran it through every drive effect of the Ion.

At the end I do a quick runover of the FX and then I add a low pass filter.

I'm wanting to use more video-angles, but it's hard to get those in time using the linear editing of movie maker. I'm looking for better software, as to make the video's a lil' more interesting...

However, this one is all about the sound.

Enjoy,

Hack a Day - How-To: Make a digital synthesizer

"This simple guide will show you how to build a digital synthesizer that generates and manipulates square waves. Your synthesizer will have one oscillator, which produces a variable pitch controlled by a potentiometer, as well as an LFO which modulates that pitch at a variable frequency. The part count for this project is quite low, and it can be built for under $20."

"'Techno is not a Joke'.
Animated adventures of techno art collective The Pod. The Pod are a late eighties electronic dance outfit trying to cope with the mid nineties post rave come down. 'The most technologically advanced sit com in the world'. I made this about five years ago and has never really been seen except at a few screenings and festivals. Stars myself and Julian Barratt. Still one of my favourite films. Julian is brilliant and my performance isn't too bad for once. Also stars my mate Andy Bone."

I use it mainly as a soundsource, and I sure love those sounds. You just have to know where to use them. Pz, ARD"

"I have no experience with that particular system. I worked for Buchla when he was making the 200 series synthesizers. Actually, I was working for a project called the Electric Symphony Orchestra for which Buchla was the Technical Wizard."

Sound Design: The Wind Saw Sweep

YouTube via MinorAchievements.
"This video shows you how to create a wind saw sweep. A common synth effect found in many songs.

I demonstrate it on the [KORG] Oasys and in Reason (Thor), but the same logic can be used for almost any analog synth.

The song shown in it is Pictures by the Sneaky Sound System.

Sorry about the screen movement during the reason demonstration. I'll avoid that in future."
