miniTamTam demo

"This is a demonstration of miniTamTam, a music application for the OLPC XO computer." You might remember the OLPC XO computer being toted as the "$100 laptop" for children around the world that cannot afford a full laptop or PC. Click here for more info.

Update: I finally got around to watching this in entirety. At the end he talks about the "synth lab" where you can create your own sounds. It looks interesting. He said there will be another video of it coming. I'll keep an eye out for it.

AralkdFX DKS Pro Drum Synth

"DKS is born after three years of studying the classic analogue drum machines, which were able to produce convincing drums sounds with simple electronic means.

By joining the "classical" oscillator-based electronics drum synthesis approach with simple FM synthesis, physical modeling of the drum shell, a powerful set of effects, and a beautiful user interface DKS is an unique, easy to use, and incredibly versatile drums synthesizer.

This synthesizer can accurately emulate many of the classic electronic drums machine sounds, but through its extra FM and physical drum shell modeling features can go much further, even giving an interesting acoustic touch to synthesized sounds."

Guess The Electronics

PeoplesTank of CatSynth.com just joined Synthwire. He has a post up on a number of samples you can guess what was used to create each. What's different about this one is rather than it being a "guess the synth" exercise, it's actually a "guess the instrument type" exercise. Title link takes you to more info.

Firstman SQ-01

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. Samples pulled here.

Details:
"The MULTIVOX SQ-01 Mini Music Lab SEQUENCE SYNTHESIZER is a monophonic multi-sound producing source (a synthesizer) and a digital recording device ( a computer memory storage sequencer) in one compact control box. The SQ-01 Mini Music Lab is to music what the calculator is to math. A.C. or 12 Volt D.C. power and memory storage backup help make the SQ-01 mini Music Lab a complete self contained unit, allowing the composer/performer to create sounds and compositions anywhere and record them for immediate musical background to compose and playback compositions flawlessly."

"The SQ-01 Mini Music Lab allows standard musical notation to be transferred to simple graphic notation that instructs the programmer/performer to enter a pitch and the length of time that pitch will be held. The music is recorded and stored into any one or all of sixteen possible channels for a possible 1024 note capacity. The seven octave range oscillator, pulse and sawtooth waveform generator, 24 dB low pass filter and envelope controls interact for the infinite sound creation we have come to expect from the finest and most sophisticated synthesizers. Optional BS-01 Bass Pedal controllers provide a unique automatic controllable bass pedal synthesizer that can transpose complete bass patterns of your creation."

"The SQ-01 Mini Music Lab can be interfaced and synchronized with other labs and synthesizers for full Mini Lab ensembles and infinite creative potential."

The unit is in good working condition. Only one scatch on the backside"

Oberkorn Sequencer

No title link. Just the shot via this auction.

Details (I'm guessing this is the whole manual):

"Overview

Whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the Oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. It is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features. Below are a list of main features:

1 Control Voltage channel.
2 separate Gate channels. The switches are 3 position providing the 2 Gate outputs, with centre being off.

Clear step LEDs. The 16 step LEDs are colour coded so locating whole note steps is easy.

Reset to 16. Just about all other analogue sequencer have an inherent error, in that after resetting the machine (to step 1), when restarting the sequencer, it actually starts on step 2! With our Reset to 16, this problem is overcome.

For more details on all features of Oberkorn , please read the whole manual - don’t miss any of it’s cool features!
