Hard Soft Synth and tr-808

Hard Soft Synth and tr-808 from Gijs on Vimeo.
"Audio processing the tr-808 with the HSS. In the beginning it uses a chopper effect (i don't know the common name for this type of effect..). The HSS chops up the input signal, and plays the short loops after another. Then there is a ring modulator effect And in the end there is a bit crusher effect, with a legato sweep between the changes."
This is the last post of the HSS for now - you can find more by clicking on the Gijs link below the video.

Electrochemical Synthesiser

Electrochemical Synthesiser from pask present on Vimeo.
"Pressing a key causes salt solution to flow over a copper and aluminium connection generating a low signal which is filtered by a capacitor and then amplified, creating a complex white noise, with amazing fluctuating oscillations.

The device demonstrates how complexity can be generated using simple 'analogue' and wet components.
The inspiration for the synthesiser came from the website 'Peculiar sounds from Aluminium' by Nyle Steiner.

Yamaha CS-15D Demo

"Bob Weigel of http://sounddoctorin.com (incredible tech resource page included) demonstrates the somewhat rare Yamaha CS-15D two vco analog monosynth. This machine mixes a vco dedicated to preset voicings with one that can be presets or the knobs. (manual). Great sounding classic CS series machine with the standard chips used in the other great ones, but more useful in performance with some great presets."

Crumar Composer analog paraphonic synthesizer demo

YouTube via sounddoctorin. Be sure to watch 5:50 on for the tube thing.

"Bob Weigel of http://sounddoctorin.com reviews the capabilities of this very rare analog divide down synthesizer from 1983 or so. One of the few machines built with a breath controller transducer inside so you just plug in hose. Phatt sounding monosynth. Nice organ presets and bbd leslie simulator. Polysynth and string section also can be mixed in. Only seen serial numbers in the 200's and these are so rare on ebay not sure how many were built. If anyone ever has info let me know. Visit the site for a virtual studio tour with sound clips from many of the synths there..."
