LennarDigital's Sylenth1

"Sylenth1 is a virtual analog synthesizer that takes the definitions of quality and performance to a higher level. Until now only very few software synthesizers have been able to stand up to the sound quality standards of hardware synths. Sylenth1 is one that does."

Frederic Gerchambeau

Title link takes you to Project, a page dedicated to some music by Frederic Gerchambeau. The B side is done entirely on a Yamaha SY-77. The A side primarly features the SY-77 along with other synths. Make sure to check out the stories behind the music when you get there. The A side is mostly timbral soundscapes. Really good atmospheric stuff. The B side is more melodic and showcases the SY-77.

"The thing is I have a strong fascination in albums recorded with a single synthesizer, such as “Switched on the Bach” from Walter Carlos (well, Wendy Carlos now…). I am always happy to know that people who recorded a whole album with a single and unique keyboard have obviously tried to explore any of its performances. I think this attitude leads to a more complete and thoughtful work rather than using a lot of different keyboards but just using their preset sounds. So Here we are, “Computed skies” is my first own album, a part of my “studies of the Yamaha SY-77”. Maybe one day, I may offer you a “recital of Emu Proteus 2000” or a “symphony for Yamaha CX-5m”, who knows …"

Very cool. Thanks Frederic!

Steve Roach



Via Eric:

"Steve Roach performed last night [9/23]in Tucson, Arizona. Steve played material from his recent release "Proof Positive" on guitar, synth and several sizes of didgeridoo while visuals from from his DVD 'Kairos' as well as images from other artists were shown. Here's my best photo from the show. Here's a link to Steve's web page on the concert."

"He's been doing ambient/electronic music for the last 25 years or so. Here's a link to an article about him in Electronic Musician from last year."

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"
