Alesis Ion easy synth-ing 2: making a piano sound.

YouTube via se7ense7
"I explain and show some synthesis options on the Alesis Ion synhtesizer trying to emulate a electric piano sound using hard-sync. Synthesizing pianos isn't something easy, and is explained very good in the article provided by this link: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Oct02...

I'm not saying I master piano synthesis in any way, I'm just showing how simple sync synthesis can be used to try and make that sound.

This movie also showes the easiness of programming the Ion synthesizer."

Nord Lead 2X: 4 programs playing at the same time

YouTube via fischek
"Short description: this is just a quick demo of all 4 programs in a layer (performance) playing simultaneously to show Nord Lead 2X capabilities.

Long description: The Nord Lead 2X has 4 slots which you can use to load 4 different sounds/programs and thus create a layer i.e. a performance. This video demonstrates Nord Lead 2X when all 4 sounds/programs have been loaded and play simultaneously.

Furthermore, each slot can have a dedicated output (there are 4 audio outputs on the back) so you can manipulate each of the programs separately."

Triadex Muse

"RARE TRIADEX MUSE. What is it? The Net is full of resources. It is a very rare piece of Electronic music history. From Wikipedia: "The Triadex Muse is the first digital musical instrument and was produced in 1972. It was designed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at MIT. It is an algorithmic music generator: it uses digital logic circuits to produce a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters. It has four small sliders in that control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. It is not known how many were made, but they are considered extremely rare. The Muse is the subject of U. S. Patent 3610801"

Oberheim Matrix-12
"At all events a panel is laid out intelligibly. Unlike Jupiter-8. A glamourous white woman. She can speak only English, but talk intelligibly. As for this, Jupiter-8 is so, but the reason is because it goes along the flow of the signal of the analog synthesizer which the flow of the sound says from left to right. It does not get a hint I want to watch first DX7 and call a parameter to a small window, and to change numerical value. When I play this one, I remember the face whom the Uncle friendly Tom Oberheim smiled." click here for more.

Plan b Model 15 Oscillator

VAC has some words and samples of the Plan b Model 15 OSC up here. The samples of it sound really good.

"It is a good osc, it has a lot of inputs, The SAW and Sine are amazing. This thing is very cutting. I think it’s best suited for sound fx and buchla type sounds. But for me, I needed something that had a little better tracking stability. What else is good about this osc, well for sure, there are a lot of inputs, for fm, sync and cv, so much more than other eurorack vcos. So this is why I think for FX and weird stuff, this is a great VCO. The Fine Tuning knob was a big help as well, I wish more oscillators had this. I give it a 4 out of 5."
