Rare Univox Compac electric piano, made in Italy by Canalini in the early 1970’s. This super hip vintage electric piano simply sounds amazing!!

"Fun experiment using the Bugbrand modular, bit of a crap mix but it was kind of a one shot deal and I had to work at low volume, still a few nice bits in there. All sequenced within the modular using clocks and divisions, no other sound sources or fx."

the new lines - voyager program 1977 [Mattson Mini Modular & EMS Synthi]

YouTube Uploaded by hewstigator on Apr 22, 2011

"This track features two of our favorite synths, the ems synthi and the mattson mini modular working together to produce the electronic creaks and chirps in the background...

We considered using actual voyager footage but somehow shots of computers being sent into space... lacked the appropriate emotional impact...

single available on thenewlines.bandcamp.com
Split 7" with the still corners in the works via the great pop supplement"

mattson mini modular color changing lights relocated to the power panel (and playing part of a song)

YouTube Uploaded by hewstigator on Apr 29, 2011

"The point of this video is just to show where I relocated my color changing led lights from a prior video... since I used up the spots where my blanking panels used to be, I stuck the leds behind the power panel on the lower right... no other mods needed since the light shines through the panels as is (the aluminum behind the graphics have a 4x4 pattern pre-drilled).

The melody is just some draft song which we may complete later... to hear a full song please check out our recent video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcEhpxl6GwU [above]
or thenewlines.bandcamp.com

There are some moogerfoogers shown also but only the freqbox is used to add some high melancholic overtones... I say melancholic because it is quite difficult to get the v/oct scaling just right so unless you hit the sync it will be a tiny bit out of tune but I like the effect...!

Although the mattson modular plays all of the parts of the song, the video only really shows it playing one of the melody lines since I only have one midi/cv converter and can only have it play one part at a time."

"A commissioned collaborative work by Arius Blaze and Ben Houston with Folktek Magnetic patchbay - live remixing the world. The Time Machine takes incoming sound, samples that sound (up to about four seconds) and twists it up however the player likes - in thousands of ways. Or it can be used for a real nasty delay with dub feedback in addition to the possibilties as a multi-osc. sound generator.

David Cockerell NAMM.org Video Interview

"David Cockerell designed one of the earliest synthesizers produced in the United Kingdom. The Synthi was introduced in the late 1960s by EMS Ltd. The unit, which came in a case with a KS keyboard, used patch cords to root reverb and ring modes. David also included two oscillators both with shape and level controllers as well as a frequency control. The design marked the beginning of many contributions to the industry over the years including his work on guitar effects pedals for Mike Matthews in the 1980s."

"Limited edition keyboard version with Joystick assignable commands and led keyboard... Joystick assignable effects and keyboard with trigger lights really add to the production process. Elektron's sequencer is the perfect tool for making music and this thing has a lot of magic. I highly recommend it for a beginner or pro. Its one of my favorite synths of all time and I will get it again in the future. You must play it for yourself, the design and feel really make music-making fun. I have owned a lot of synths and this one wins for unique sound and all in one playability"

Easy Synthing: Novation K-Station

YouTube Uploaded by se7ense7 on Apr 30, 2011

"Some random synthesis on the K-Station. No vocoders or elaborate patches. Just some LFO routing, sync, filter env, delay, reverb, distortion... It's capable of much much more... but as you know these video's are all about simple synthesis on various synthesizers...

Cool little synth, allmost every paramter has it's own knob (a lot of similarities with the Nova and Supernova) ... you shouldn't pay any more then €250-300 for it. I bought mine for €150 (without adapter). This synth is small enough to actual take it with you... I'm gigging with this too... no batteries - so no synthing on the train or bus...

The vocoder is - I think - better than the one on the Microkorg. Less clipping. There are less parameters to adjust though... I'll have a go at a video showing this later...

I also make actual tracks with these synths I'm demoing... Go have a look at http://www.soundcloud.com/alienrobotdance - look for me on facebook - or have a look at my weblog at http://alienrobotdance.wordpress.com"

iTX81Z v1.2 Wireless iPad Editor Now Available

"iControlMIDI has released iTX81Z v1.2 for Yamaha TX81Z, a free upgrade for all iTX81Z v1.1 users.

iTX81Z v1.2 offers:
- a redesigned look & feel for enhanced readability plus some very tiny UI adjustments to make the workflow even better
- parameter default value buttons. In v1.2, if you touch the parameter value label, it resets the label / slider to a default value (ex: Operator Wave = 1, Operator Coarse Frequency = 1.00, etc...) for each parameter... this is the fastest workflow you'll ever get in sound designing!

Also, we revised couple of iControlMIDI Apps prices down to meet market demands."
