Update: see this new post for Jean Michel Jarre's official response.
No more JMJ cover videos on YouTube:
"Dear Member:
This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by FRANCIS DREYFUS MUSIC claiming that this material is infringing:
Oxygene 13 Jean Michel Jarre Cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8CY0rKXank
Please Note: Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account. In order to prevent this from happening, please delete any videos to which you do not own the rights, and refrain from uploading additional videos that infringe on the copyrights of others. For more information about YouTube's copyright policy, please read the Copyright Tips guide."
Update: it might only be Oxygen covers? Note the following is speculation:
"The whole story seems to have something to do with a conflict between Dreyfus and Jarre regarding the copyright for Oxygene.
Also, as I've learned by reading the forums, it seems that Dreyfus doesn't actually own the rights for public performances. Only for the recordings.
I don't see Mr. Jarre complaining... "
Why am I posting this here? Well a lot of the better videos showcasing what particular synths are capable have been with JMJ covers.

PROTOTYPE MIXER CRAIG ANDERTON
This one is not actually a synth, but a vintage mixer by PAiA's Craig Anderton. You can find it here along with a number of other synth auctions from minime123. Although it is not a synth I decided to put it up because of the link to synth makers PAiA as well as it's design. Every now and then I will put up posts of non synth related gear from synth manufactures to reflect on some of the other projects they took the time out to work for. For me it's just an interesting bit of synth history.
Free Roland Samples on Ohdeo.com
G-Red wrote in to let me know he has started a site with free Roland Samples. The site is Ohdeo.com. It does require you to register to access the samples in a forum type site. I asked him why registration was required and he said it's to prevent other sites from linking directly to the samples without credit. Makes sense to me.
Synthesizer Surprise
Synthesizer Surprise from Liam Devowski on Vimeo.
Note this one is from the artist Devowski. You can see some previous posts featuring his work here and his official website here.
EXTRAPOLE - Multimode for LP4P VCFs
"The project proposed here is an extension board to add 15 functions to the MOTM 440 VCF and more generaly to almost all 4 poles Low Pass VCFs with a similar topology ...The idea of this extension come directly from the Oberheim Xpander/Matrix12 multi-function VCF schematic : the 4 poles of a classic low pass filter are mixed together with different coefficients to get multiple functions. The Multi-function VCF page contain math explanations and a copy of the original schematic, so i won't reproduce them here, just the list of the 16 VCFs functions as a reminder..."
