Cheetah MS800 Digital Wave Synthesizer

Digital wavetable synthesizer module manufactured in the early 1990´s by Cheetah International LTD in UK

"Dirty, gritty, grungy sounding 8-bit companded digital wavetable synthesis makes for cutting sounds that can be made to evolve a la ppg etc. Bell type waves are great in particular. Lots of aliasing going on coupled with the complete lack of any kind of filter or tone control gives this synth a particular bite"

Minion Samples

Remember Minion? Title link takes you to some samples sent in via Brian Comnes. Note the zip is just the zipped version of the mp3s.

"2 dry 2 wet with Minion driven by AudioMulch and extracted to Wav then MP3 . The Airporter clip wet really got nice, dark and organic with Minion, much less bright than the dry version. As the www.devine-machine.com site says when you just have to have 4 filters driven by 12 LFO, whatcha gonna do?? The eye candy while it is operating is definitely cool. Price is right too - FREE!. This program will give AntaresTech FILTER which I also use quite a run for the money ...FILTER is $120"

Electric Moog Orchestra - Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Hmm... I know Philip Dodds and the ARP 2500 were featured in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Philip Dodds the head engineer of ARP is the guy playing the 2500 in the scene where they communicate to the mothership. The story is he was flown out to show how to work the synth and was asked to be in the film. I never thought about what other synths might have been featured.
