Some Buchla History via mosc

You can find the full post with links and more images here on electro-music.com.

A brief excerpt:
"I have no experience with that particular system. I worked for Buchla when he was making the 200 series synthesizers. Actually, I was working for a project called the Electric Symphony Orchestra for which Buchla was the Technical Wizard."

Update: another link via the 200e list.

Sound Design: The Wind Saw Sweep

YouTube via MinorAchievements.
"This video shows you how to create a wind saw sweep. A common synth effect found in many songs.

I demonstrate it on the [KORG] Oasys and in Reason (Thor), but the same logic can be used for almost any analog synth.

The song shown in it is Pictures by the Sneaky Sound System.

Sorry about the screen movement during the reason demonstration. I'll avoid that in future."

"In this Video, I used Access Virus Ti Polar. I experimented with the Factory Patches and filters and effects control knobs that make the patch Sound interesting. While playing this Awesome synth, I keep addapting the playing style as I adjust the Patches in real time."

Panther Modules

"Designed by Ken Stone, and bought to market by Laurie Biddulph of Elby Designs, TheBeast is proud to present The Panther Modular.

The module range is intended to work within the current market framework, set out by doepfer, analogue systems, et.al, but, insted of simply offereing yet another 'moog ladder' filter, to offer some truely unique modules, be it in function (Ken's 'Super Psycho LFO' is a fortcomming module) or in sound (try recreating the Steiner filter eleswhere!)

These modules, of course, are fully compatible with the Eurorack systems offered by Doepfer, Plan-B, Analogue Solutions, and the like, and electronically compatible with Analogue Systems modules, although different power cables must be used."

Well, sort of. Watch the video here. It comes in the second episode. They are short so if you have the time watch the first, then scroll down to "Iron Man's Adventure Continues." It's in that one. Direct link here for the archives.

Sonic Boom and His EMS Synthi AKS

Click here for more images via Charlotte.

Update: The doll according to Charlotte now resides with Sonic Boom. She made it two years ago and gave it to him when she went to see him live. Her brother made his head, you can see more of his quality work here (pretty cool smurf art). I asked Charlotte if she had a website to see more of her work. She doesn't, but she is part of the beloved Tigersushi Corporation. You'll find some interesting posts there. She likes to work collectively with her bother. "I would love to make more action figures from musicians and of course moreover playing analog synths, well... maybe one day."

Moog Freqbox mf-107 Oscillator. Hexfix93’s Take.

You can find the full take here.

"The moog freqbox, a versatile fx pedal unit that can be used as an oscillator in a modular synth setup. When I first plugged them in, I noticed how huge they sounded. How alive. They reminded me of the older moog stuff, like tarus pedals and model d minimoog. With two, the oscillators would beat and sound pretty vintage. These things are FAT. The biggest. The sync sounds were so mean and huge, it would make my whole house shake. I ran these into my doepfer custom eurorack filled with rare boutique modules. I loves how the moog oscillators sounded through the polivoks filter the most. I prefered these oscillators for BASS duties. There is this warm beef that you get in the 60 to 200hz range on the low end of the frequency spectrum. No other synths and oscillators can pump this style of sound out. These pedals really did sound more vintage to me than the little phatty and the new minimoog voyagers. They had plenty of high end frequencies which I think are lacking a tad on the newer moog synths."
