"I made this intended as a 7 second looping Vine.

But I'm an idiot. I didn't know that you couldn't access the camera roll. Oh well."

Episode 2: Sequencing drums and melodies using LFOs

YouTube via williamenroh of inside synthesis.

"Not many synths have a mod sequencer like the Korg MS-2000 (demonstrated in Episode 1). But that doesn't mean you can't use LFOs to trigger drumbeats and melodies.

This video features an ESQ-1. While it has a sequencer, it doesn't have an arpeggiator, or any decent internal drum sounds, and certainly no way to key-trigger those sequences. This tutorial will show how to get decent drums and even simulate an arpeggiator, all dynamically triggered via the keyboard.

Plus, the techniques are relevant to almost any synthesizer."

ESQ-1 Digital / Analog Synthesizer (Episode 2 Preview)

YouTube via williamenroh.

"This is a preview for Inside Synthesis Episode 2. It will demonstrate LFO programming on synthesizers that lack real-time phrase/drumbeat triggering, such as the ESQ-1.

While the ESQ-1 has a built-in sequencer, there's no way to dynamically control the sequences. To make matters more challenging, the ESQ-1 lacks a modulation sequencer of the MS-2000 (as seen in Episode 1).

But that doesn't mean you can't do real-time drumbeats and arpeggiations.

Episode 2 will be finished soon. I had a small setback."

Casio CZ-101 Song

YouTube Uploaded by williamenroh on Oct 16, 2011

"This is a song made entirely from a Casio CZ-101 synthesizer (with a bit of delay and reverb), trying to mimic analog bass, leads, and drums.

Not the most thrilling video from a visual perspective (these are just some pics I had taken awhile back for an eBay auction), but uploaded mostly for an example of its sound."

Update: renamed: Episode 1:Turn an analog modelling synth into a drum machine

"This is the first episode of Inside Synthesis. It's a tutorial on how use a Korg MS2000 as a drum machine, but you'll still be able to play bass and lead lines over it."

"This is a demonstration of the Soviet Polivoks Analog Synthesizer.

Ever so often I'll get a comment or email about how I refer to it as "built like a tank".

It was a bad choice of words - I simply meant that it looks like a piece of military equipment. Physically, it's no more solid than an Arp Odyssey."

Update: I just found out this actual unit is up for auction here. Shots saved here for posterity. Also, there appears to be a second one for auction here. As always, be careful on the bay.
