YAMAHA CE20 ANALOG SYNTH
via this auctionUpdate via daden in the comments: "this seller got it all wrong each time i see his auctions..way crazy prices..apart from that the ce20 is a early fm preset box;with a sound of its own.and is velocity sensitive." previous posts on the CE20
"AKA the KITARO SILK ROAD LEAD VOICE synthesizer. This Yamaha CE20 keyboard is an unusually expressive instrument, with a rich palette of mono lead voices, as well as 6 Polyphonic voices/presets. Includes the magic "SYMPHONIC" button that adds a richness even beyond the ensemble effect on a Korg PolySix.
Know what a Marshall Time Modulator is? It's a $2600 rare sound processor. What it does is the closest I've heard to what the ANALOG SYMPHONIC MODULATOR of this unit does. I believe the CE-20 was Yamaha's first commercially available FM synthesis tone generators (forerunner to DX-7 et al). Coupled with the exotic ANALOG SYMPHONIC MODULATOR, this rare instrument is a hybrid of FM and analog sound generation/ modification technology of decades ago.
But what really sets this one apart from the pack is its unique after-touch pressure sensitivity, and how it's routed.Sounds are highly realistic and remarkably natural as they are generated with "advanced FM tone generator technology" and processed with the rare, proprietary ANALOG SYMPHONIC MODULATOR which takes up 40 square inches of real estate on one of the two major PCBs. Also note the "Glide Controls" on the left hand cheekblock. Portamento ("Glide" has never been so instantly and handily available (except perhaps on an ARP 2600 keyboard).
HERE'S THE EXPRESSIVENESS DEPARTMENT - WHAT MAKES THIS AN INSTRUMENT instead of just another synthesizer. Note the depth/rate and delay controls on pressure-sensitive Vibrato....plus the aftertouch control of Tone Initial and AFTER!INCLUDED: what you need to get the maximum out of this extraordinary instrument- a NEVER USED Yamaha EXPRESSION PEDAL, AND A VINTAGE, AUTHENTIC YAMAHA SUSTAIN SWITCH. A printed copy of the full original USER'S MANUAL is also included.

Use Audio Plugiator Lightwave model
YouTube via kennykeyboard | December 23, 2010 |
"Preceded by a child's toy on the video, the Use Audio Plugiator has a model reminiscent of the the Prophet VS or PPG. Outside of cyclical rhythm sounds, it has an ambience with the delay and chorus. Here, I have an almost metal percussive tone with higher artifacts, a gothic organ sound, and assorted wavetable sweeps creating tempos. Somewhere, my controller was sending unwanted mod messages. I put some video effects just to add interest. Just imagine playing solemn carols with the Meowsic."

Warsaw Canons
YouTube via Syncoustica | December 22, 2010
I contacted Syncoustica to find out more about the piece and what synths were used: "The Warsaw Canons are a homegrown Christmas recording made by myself. I used a RITM-2 synthesizer exclusively for this recording; all multi-tracked (usually two but sometimes three or four tracks) on the pre-MIDI Soviet synthesizer I did employ some signal processing in ProTools and a reel-to-reel preamp at one point."

R-moduletest1.mpeg
YouTube via metasonix | December 22, 2010 |
"Demonstration: four R-54s used as VCOs, controlled by R-60 MIDI-CV and Doepfer quad EG, mixed to stereo, fed thru two R-53s, then to two more R-54s used as filters. EG modulation of filters only.
Is this sound "fat" enough for everyone?
As you can see, the Monorocket cabinet has no problem running eight Metasonix R modules plus an R-60 and many others. Sixteen tubes in total, plus 4 more in the MW cabinet."
Update:

PT2399 Delay Crazy Feedback MOD lofi Synth - SYNTHROTEK - Nand Yamaha
YouTube via synthrotek |
"A great MOD of our PT2399 Delay Kit. We replaced the 20K linear delay pot with a 500K, making some out-of-this-world sounds! Also added is a momentary switch, that loops the current delay output as long as you hold the button down. Great for noise and electronic drone heads. Find the MOD online at:

Micromoog Demo Low Serial Number

"Not sure what the difference between low and high serial numbers are but just so you know. Killer keyboard tho!"
Santa came early...
via Brian Kehew:
"Just got this in... very excited. I had seen and played the prototype, but it's even nicer on the final released version. Cyril Lance had mentioned they went for an "upgrade" on the wood - and it is much nicer quality than my old Voyager. It looks a lot more like the wood on early Minimoogs from the 70-72 era, which I think were the most attractive ones.
Looking forward to putting it through it's paces soon... "
Gils Gieskes DEP-1 + Hohner Pianet T
Gils Gieskes DEP-1 + Hohner Pianet T from Tom Whitwell on Vimeo.
"Quick demo of Gils Gieskes DEP-1 extra lo-fi digital effects kit - built around a microcontroller chip with just 2k of memory. Does looping, delay, pitch shifting, arpeggiating. All super gritty and chaotic.
Sound source is the Hohner Pianet electric piano.
DEP then goes into a Line6 Pod with a clean, bright amp model - sounds a bit warmer / more powerful than the DI from the DEP-1.
Doesn't really come across in this clip, but this is a box of fun!

Audio Damage Phosphor
via Analog Industries
"What it is: a two-oscillator 16-voice polysynth loosely based upon the topology of the alphaSyntauri additive synthesis add-on for the Apple ][+ and //e. We've added some modern features like the delays and mod routing, mono modes, and a "clean" setting for the sine waves and noise, in order to extend the capabilities of the synth past its original limits. But this plug is mainly designed for recreating the alphaSyntauri, and at that, it excels."

The synthesis hardware engine is provided by the Mountain Computer synthesizer board set that mounted into bus slots within the Apple II. They supported 8 channels of 8-bit stereo audio. AlphaPlus is Syntauri's software application demonstrated here."

"If you're looking at this, you probably know what it is and how rare they are (correct me if I'm wrong but I think only about 800 were made). For those of you who don't: it's a boutique analog (NOT virtual analog), vaguely minimoogish synthesizer, handmade in (or after) 2001, based on 1970s technology (except for the integrated Kenton 'Pro-Solo' MIDI-to-CV converter and LFO generator).
The manufacturer is Macbeth Studio Systems, basically a one-man ("Ken MacBeth") operation based out of Scotland.

"To celebrate the festive season and the fact that we have had lots of snow in London - I decided to create this Christmas Carol note filtering tree. Each pitch class of a Carol i.e. all the Ds or all the Fs are allocated to a Lego door. When the door is opened, a midi file is played and the notes are sent to a vst synth in a Max Patch. The doors have small magnets which trigger a reed switch. I built a couple of resistor ladder multiplexers so that I could use nine doors with just 3 analogue ins of a Make Controller. This device could be used as a sophisticated "Name that Tune" device - fun for all the family - if that's what your family considers to be fun - unlike my own. Happy Festmax - Des"
