MATRIXSYNTH gets a mention at 10:05. :)

I remember the early days of Jexus, aka WC Olo Garb - click through for a history of WC Olo Garb posts on MATRIXSYNTH - you can scroll down through the years back to the first post back on 9/18/2005 - he also went by polaranta on Flickr. In the beginning there were synth pics followed by the videos. For all posts mentioning "Jexus" click here. He had and continues to have quite an influence on others in the synth community.

You can find some synth patches from Jexus, spotted by Soviet Space Child here: http://jexus.id.uw.edu.pl/WCOG_Synth_Patches/

No, the sounds are not FXed in any special way, nor is it a customized SH09. The "weird" sounds you hear were done with the use of feedback loop (have a look at the sockets at the back of any sh09).

ARP: Solus

YouTube via ajantred | February 14, 2009 | 7:33

"Me playing a few patches made with my ARP Solus synthesizer (forgive me for my crap keyboard playing, lol). The ARP Solus was manufactured during the very late 70's and throughout the 80's before ARP became bankrupt. It is basically the ARP Odyssey's little brother because had most of the same functions that the odyssey had except it lacked sample and hold and the PPC controls. It comes in its own built in case and has 2 VCOs capable of producing sawtooth and square waves, 1 VCF that has CV and ADSR controls, 1 ADSR with single, multi and auto controls, 1 LFO, ring modulation and pitch bend as well as other tuning controls. This particular Solus (not the one in the picture) is loaned by me from the Oldham Music Centre as no one had put it too good use for over 15 years and have let it gather dust (and damp unfortunately). It is still in playing condition, all the switches and sliders work great, the only problem i have with it is that a couple of key contacts act a little odd due to the damp, but this is nothing major. Overall, this is a very powerful and underestimated synth that produces big fat bass sounds as well as weird and wonderful sounds."

Yet more ARP SOLUS

YouTube via ajantred | November 27, 2009 | 8:18

"Heres me playing some more sounds on my ARP SOLUS synthesizer. Sorry I didnt add a title at the beginning, i spent more time lining my high quality audio recording with the video (i didnt want to use crappy camera audio). Any way, as WC Olo Garb (aka Jexus) puts it, this isnt about what a synthesizer can do, its what someone can do with a synthesizer (theres lots to do, this is only a snippet of all the sounds you can make)
Enjoy"
