The Sephorath - Custom Analog Drone Synth

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. This one went up just for that shot. Kind of reminds you of some of the people who comment on this site, doesn't it? ;)

Details:
"A one of a kind, handmade beast of a synthesizer. All your heavy brooding synth nightmares wrapped up in one package. At the heart of the beast is a unique transistor based set of oscillators that squirt out some of the grossest and oddest waveshapes ive ever heard. The range is great from sub booming bass tones and crackling sawtooths up to the staticy white noise infused high frequencies.

The oscillator set is controlled by a group of lfo's with a very wide range, LED displays and individual depth controls. the lfos each vary the control votage to one of the oscillators for pulsing very subtle shifts in shape and pitch, to hard edged rhythmic songs that fall out of step with each other - get random - and then come back to the original rhythm. very nutso! Also are a filter control for cutting out high end frequencies as well as a feedback knnob for spitting the output of the synthesizer back into the first oscillator creating even more random tones.

This synth is very unconventional but the possibilities for different sounds are insanely vast. everytime i turn it one a new sound comes out. operates from7v-12v and will change tuning accordingly.

Dont think ill get around to building anything else like this for awhile. Also look out for a new type of delay/pitch shifter within one or two days! thanks!

CME UF5 MIDI Keyboard with Waldorf Nano

So that's what the Waldorf Nano looks like installed. I always pictured it as an internal card with nothing external facing on it.

via this auction.

SYNTHI A CLONE

Not sure how much of a clone of the real thing this is, but it definitely looks impressive. Title link takes you to more details and shots.

"The picture above shows the Synthi A clone almost complete. Some mods I have added are arrowed above. First on the oscillators 2+3 I have added audio/LFO frequency switching. On oscillator 1 there is variable synch with oscillators 2 or 3 (switchable). This synch sounds excellent..! In addition I have added switches on all 3 oscilltors that allow a choice of either frequency or waveshape modulation via the control input columns on the matrix patchboard. This is a really worthwhile mod in my opinion..lets you have pulsewidth modulation of oscillators 2 and/or 3 via oscillator 1 for example. I added 3 tiny gren leds above the corresponding matrix columns on the frontpanel. When you switch from frequency to waveshape modulation..the corresponding led lights up to remind you of that."

Sealed has a new page up on the Yamaha CS10 with details and audio. Check it out as well as the other synth pages. Seled's Deep Synhesis Page is a great resource.

One more incredible shot via Loonytunes-Life The Universe and Everything.

Thelonious Moog: Take 5, 6 &7


YouTube via guidotoons of Thelonious Moog. Some more Jazz with synth for ya.

"Thelonious Moog's version of the Paul Desmond/Dave Brubeck classic "Take Five" in 5, 6 &7!!! Visit: www.theloniousmoog.com"

Minimoog really starts to come in about a minute twenty into it followed by the lead at about two and half minutes in.

KORG MicroKorg

I think this is the best shot of the MicroKorg I've seen to date. It's from this post on Loonytunes-Life The Universe and Everything. The image accompanies a nice Jazz track that actually features the KORG Legacy Digital edition; it doesn't feature the MicroKorg, but it is a nice shot. : ) My new wallpaper actually.
