AngryOctopus TinyMoog Online Synth

You can find it here.

"I was intending to get this done for Robert Moog’s birthday but didn’t quite get it finished in time. I took the basic MiniMoog layout and tried to pair it down as much as possible to get cute/miniature but still useable and recognizably Moog styled synth. This is the first time I have tried modelling a full 3D interface and I didn’t quite nail the look [Dan McPharlin synth art miniatures] I was after. It’s not quite finished yet as I had to overhaul all my previous GUI code to handle the 3D interface."

SUPPLICANT Shakedown (Official Music Video & Lyrics)

KORG MicroKORG
YouTube via StarpointeRecords — June 11, 2010 — "DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE COMMENT !!! When we wrote Shakedown we were in a way channeling our past influences. We love the vintage synth sounds and bands. Many of them were huge in the early 80's and 90's. We wanted to tap into those influences and write a more light hearted, pop song. The video was actually the idea of our producer Finn Bjarson. He wanted to show in a way the differences from then and now in the seriousness of the music and the videos. It seems today we are much more serious and calculated when a song is produced or a video is made. It has to be for a certain audience or fit in a box of genre. We love the freedom of that era and wanted to try and recreate the feel and vibe from then in a sort of tribute to all those who came before. We will leave it up to all of you decide how well we have done."

YouTube via kennykeyboard — June 16, 2010 —

"The recent virtual analog synth employs 4 different software emulations derived from Creamware and some original designs. It is similar to the Arturia Origin except less featured. It is best suited to studio work in terms of making use of its resources, although live performance is doable with modest planning. Tweaking is limited to filter fy, res, and env amount. Delay and chorus are also on knobs. The knobs have a smooth resolution."

The slice of bread and the interaction with it, demonstrates the feel and sound of Lippold Haken's fantastic instrument, the Continuum Fingerboard, which has a similar soft touch surface. If anyone is interested in the Continuum Fingerboard, the album "Continuum Fingers" is a collection just for the Continuum, which includes seventeen quirky tracks inspired by modern jazz, electronica, classical and film music. "Continuum Fingers" uses the inbuilt sounds for the Haken Continuum Fingerboard designed by Edmund Eagan."

3,000 SAMPLES!

via this auction
"With Complete Hip Hop Bass, we took the time to get the most bass-heavy samples, and then we added even more sub-bass using additive synthesis to FATTEN it way past the low-end produced from even the original instrument and source material. You can't EQ bass that isn't even there to begin with, but using special tools we were able to add bass that wasn't there before. We made these samples bassier than allowed by law! What, there's no law against bass-heaviness? Well, now there will be!

So stop wasting your time and money on the flat, puny bass sounds floating around. Instead, go with a sound that's proven.
