"Get your Supernova to sound like early Human League. The Supernova really needs you to twiddle it, that way you can dig out many different synth sound types."

Oberheim MC3000d

Remember this post? It looks like heliospace managed to get it fixed. It turned out it was a blown fuse after all. Click here for more images of it turned on. via the Matrixsynth Forum.

Update: one more shot of the full size unit below via heliospace.

"Shaker Maker is a special VST effect that will turn any rhythmic content into a convincing natural shaker rhythm.

Shaker Maker can produce a wide variety of shaker sounds, and you can shape your shaker to sound exactly the way you want it to.

For using Shaker Maker you should put it in the insert slot of your audio track. Then load a drum loop or any other rhythmic audio file to this track. You can also connect a microphone and use your own voice as the source for your shaker rhythm. Finally choose one of the 16 prepared shaker sounds, or shape your own shaker!"

Dr. T’s KCS

"The first software I ever used to create music was Dr. T’s KCS. I used it on an Atari 1040ST. The software was strictly to control external hardware midi devices. Hard discEmile Tobenfeld recording and virtual instruments were years away from hitting the mainstream. A guy named Emile Tobenfeld (see photo) was the man behind Dr. T’s and KCS and he created this software in 1984."
