Spooky Matrixsynth by LDT

via LDT:

"The mp3 was recorded with the Novation XioSynth.The first little melody that repeats once towards the end is the Matrix Synth patch. There are three other tracks as well using various patches I wrote on the Xiosynth. There is no external processing except that I always run my digital keyboards through an Electro Harmonix LPB 2ube stereo tube preamp before they reach the Zoom MRS8 digital recorder. The track was assembling using Sony Sound Forge 8 and Sony Acid Pro 5."

Buchla 259 and 261e - Old Meets New

via REWire

"Here's a Pic of my 259 and 261e side by side,. Amazing how a 30+ year old and new oscs look so alike and new. Sound? Sort of similar when both with no harmonics."

Update: see this new post for audio comparisons.

The Harvestman Polivoks Filter Demo

via REwire:

"I picked this up at Analogue Haven Friday while orders were flying off their printers for this. This is one screaming filter and a great addition to my collection of the meanest filters ever along with the Livewire Frequensteiner and Plan-B Model 11. This 1:50 mp3 demo has just two Sawtooth waves going into the filter with plenty of modulation of the VCF. The last patch in the demo is the Bandpass output being used as a CV source to the VCF. Beware, this one's loud and ear shattering."
