Machinedrum mp3

"Following mp3 is pure synthesis from Elektron Machinedrum, no sample and external effect. That's one ultra minimal pattern created on my legs while watching TV and recorded with crackling on my minidisc."

Sonicbrat - W E A V I N G

"The W E A V I N G project builds on the ideology of minimalism and improvisation. The album is meant to be listened to from top till the end as a sole entity of sounds and melodies. The sub-harmonics, subliminal changes in timbres and the play of sub-frequencies and hyper-frequencies will leave your ears ringing at the end of the sonic experience."

sfxr - sound effects for all!

"What I present here is, if you will, an MS Paint for sound effects… or something along those lines. It’s meant to make it dead easy for anyone to whip up a few simple sound effects and save them as .WAV files for playback using most game/media libraries like SDL or pygame.

Basic usage involves clicking the left-most buttons to automatically generate random sounds loosely targeted at certain categories. For more advanced users it’s possible to spend some additional time to manually create fairly varied and interesting sound effects.

The interface is based entirely around sliders for controlling sound parameters, along with a few buttons. Even if you don’t want to spend time learning about all the sliders you can still have some fun just hammering away at them and listening to the various sounds that come out."

Another Waldorf Blofeld demo from Stefan Trippler. This one showcases the wavetables.

Note that with the Blofeld you can assign an independent wavetable to each oscillator while on the microwave/XT both oscillators share the same wavetable.

There's just something about this shot. The title, Pole Position, Converse, the mini cassette, and the mini skateboard.

Waldorf XT
Waldorf Q

The title is a little bit of an inside joke - there's some discussion on the Waldorf list regarding wive/partners and synths. Apparently the Q is Derek's German blond whom he only gets to visit on weekends. :) I wonder how much action the red head gets. da-dum! Oh, man, did I just say that?...
