"Like a Virgin" - on Technics SX-C600

"'Like a Virgin' by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg. Everything is played on the Technics organ but in four layers using a multitrack tape recorder - a Fostex model 80 with matching model 450 mixer."

"A somewhat acrobatic version of a rather foolish French pop song...."

Analog Oscillator Comparison

YouTube via AutomaticGainsay

"It is often stated that all oscillators sound alike, and that it is really difficult to discern one oscillator from another, be them analog or digital. I have received a lot of flack regarding my statement that the triangle wave on the Minimoog is special.

So, as a result, I thought it might be interesting to take three of the most popular analog synthesizers and put their oscillators (and filters) to the test.

And you! Can you tell which is which?

The first part of the video demonstrates the waveforms of each synth without naming them. See if you can guess.

Moog Minimoog
ARP 2600
Korg MS-20

State your findings in the comments!"

"friend brought this over for a soundcheck - its nice in a moogy way (sharper than a 303 filter) but kind of limited with the missing ADSRs otherwise its kind of like a sh-101 (remotely) in a small box with other nice modulation options"

Admin: Update on Video Hangs and 15 Posts Per Page

There is a possible solution to the video hanging bug in this post. I also received a few comments on the site taking too long to load. This is obviously due to the number of posts coming in each day. I had the main page set to two days worth of posts. I've been averaging close to thirty posts a day. Two days worth of this is just too much. Because of this I've set the limit to fifteen posts on the main page. To get to older posts just click on the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of each page. I will not be reducing the amount I put up, so be sure to click the link if you do not miss anything. Also, to keep the page from getting too long I changed the Archive section on the right to a drop down list. Feel free to comment.
Update: I also added a SYNTH BABES link on the top of the site. Before anyone takes offense to the tag, understand it is a bit in jest. Just scroll through the posts and you will see. It's meant to be vague and subject to a number of interpretations of the label. I'll just leave it at that. We are all adults, right? Well, maybe not some of us. :)
Update: I'm going to try 15 posts on the main page for now instead of 20.
