Spectralhead Audio SilverBox

Another TB-303 clone, this one from Spectralhead Audio.

"At the beginning of the 80s, a new bass synth appeared on the market. Aimed at bass-guitarists, it featured an in-built sequencer with slides and accents. Only about a decade later did it become one of the most popular instruments in certain styles of acid, techno, house and trance music. Since that, numerous copies and software and hardware emulations have been born, which all try to grasp the character of this wonderful synth. We did our best to reincarnate this instrument as an authentic-sounding, convenient and easy-to-use VSTi plugin. Countless hours were spent on analysis and measurements, with the goal of making the most-authentic sounding emulation. As a result of the research, SilverBox was born, 25 years after the creation of the machine.
.: Features :.

* Authentic monophonic analog bassline emulation
* Easy-to-use interface
* Oscillator with saw/square waveforms
* 18 dB/oct. analog modeled multimode filter, lowpass/highpass/bandpass modes
* Sequencer with piano roll, accent & slide
* Variable pattern length (1-16)
* Advanced randomize functions
* 16x oversampled distortion with minimum aliasing (soft, hard clipping, soft foldback, hard foldback)
* Optimized DSP code using SIMD instructions
* Customizable MIDI CC automation "

Rod Hunter - Apache ( Moog ) Only 1 Minute for Demo purposes

"http://www.dariointernet.com

Important: Less than 1 minute for demonstration purposes. Sample taken from a vinyl record copy.

Keywords: I used to own the iranian 7" copy of this when I was a child. I was one or two years old. The iranian jacket appears in this clip. Listening to the wierd sound of this record as a child while looking at the record turning has definitly had an effect on me. 1973 The recording seams to originate from France . Its kind of psychotic , psychodelic ( psicodelic ). I'm sure dance music and hinrg and italo disco lovers will appreciate this. Quite rare and difficult to find. I don't think it is available on cd. Introvabili gliintrovabili"

I had the original video for Apache posted here but it looks like the video is no longer available. I checked YouTube and only found the Apache vs. covers. I have the Prodigy one up in that post. If anyone finds the original let me know and I'll update this post. You can either leave a comment or email me. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

Some more uploads of my records playing on the Pioneer PL-518.

The video appears slightly tilted, perhaps you can bear with that. In future videos, I gotta pay attention to the level on the tripod.

Using my Sony CCD-TRV608 camcorder.

From "The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music" by Paul Beaver and Bernard T. Krause. "Peace Three" is the first and last track on the album. All done on the Moog synthesizer.

Back in late '80s I found this album at a flea market. It didn't have the booklet but the records were almost like new. Some days later, again at a flea market. I found the album with the booklet, in very good shape. So, I sold the one without the booklet. The customer was happy, nonetheless."

Update via the comments:
"This is "Fr-ritz" the one who uploaded the video. The YouTube video embeded in this blog is in mono. You can listen to this in stereo by downloading it from Google Video:
