Anchorsong - Devils Clap

YouTube via yohage.
"Anchorsong is the solo project by Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, Japan.

He creates music with sampler (AKAI MPC2000XL) and keyboard(KORG Triton) right in front of the audience.
In other words, he re-creates the process of composing on stage. Some people say, "It's like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas."

His 1st EP "The Storytelling EP" was released as a double disc (CD & LIVE DVD) in Japan on 16/05/2007.

After making his career for 3 years in Tokyo, he has moved to London. He's been playing at many live venues and night clubs."

Cyber Psychic vs. Pigtronix Echolution

YouTube via Analogger
"The Csyber Psychic is a strange pedal that contains an analog lowpass filter with a pre-amp along with two oscillators that modulate the filter, input audio, and each other in bizarre ways. One of the basic ways to use it is with a guitar...but the Cyber Psychic is also capable of making insane noises by itself. I fed the Cyber Psychic into a Pigtronix Echolution which is a magnificent analog delay. It has a series of tap switches that can divide the echo into different rhythmic permutations. It is the best sounding analog delay I've ever heard. I was intending to put something up on YouTube with my guitar thru the Echolution but I got distracted when I plugged the Cyber Psychic into it. I had my little Marshall set up and miked, but once I started droning I set the guitar aside for another day. This is all recorded with my 30 watt Marshall on the clean setting using a Shure SM-57."

"Chapel of love" - on Viscount RBX-850

YouTube via organfairy
"The Viscount RBX-850 is a little organ with a limited amount of PCM voices. In this song I use the Roland CR-68 drum machine for the rhytm and the Yamaha HE-8 organ and Roland JX-8P synthesizer (outside the picture - controlled by the Yamaha via MIDI) for the chords. The Viscount is used for the bass and the melodi. On top of it is a little Hohner PK40 keyboard that I use for the in-between notes."

Kindred Lost - Right English

via David Ryle on the Waldorf list:

"Here is an ambient piece constructed from the Blofeld, XT, and MicroQ.

http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=54210&ArtistID=75075
(click the play icon when you get there)

What was fun was that there is no arpeggiators or single notes played. I simply held down two note octave chords for minutes at a time. The only keyboard entry changes are the key signature changes.

The Blofeld does the entry sounds and some of the pitch-shifted tonal bendings are a Blofeld patch. The bass line is the XT and the main moving part is the MicroQ. What makes it sound like a slow arpeggiator doing the motion is actually the LFO's in square wave timed to modify the pitch. All three synths are doing the same thing essentially. This idea came from the Blofeld factory patch G014 Comb Tree. That patch is included at the beginning and towards the end.
The whole piece consists of four tracks.

There is a track with a string and noise modulated patch from the Korg R3 and Clavia Nord Lead 2X that underlies the background. It is almost completely masked by the Waldorfs and can only be heard at the very beginning and just after midway. I could make a Waldorf patch to do the same thing but was playing around during the track writing when I came up with this mullti-patch so I left it in."

Keytek CTS 2000

Two sites sent my way via swissdoc:
cts2000.html
m_keytek_e.htm

"The Keytek line was an attempt at reviving Siel around 1987. There were several models produced, the CTS-1000 (boring 8 voice synth, preset only), CTS-2000, CTS-5000 (piano-style keyboard), CTS-400 (4-octave keyboard, similar to CTS-1000?), and at several home keyboards (I know of the K-50 and K-60, perhaps there were more). As far as I can tell, the CTS-2000 is the only interesting model. The Keytek line didn't last long, as Siel went out of business and was bought by Roland. It's a fairly ugly synth, Obviously influenced by the DX7 design with membrane buttons and nasty 80's colors accenting its gray case. And it's fairly heavy considering the case is plastic."
