Amin Bhatia - Virtuality - Update

I just received my copy of Virtuality by Amin Bhatia. You might remember the CD from this post. To my surprise, the liner notes in the CD includes a number of descriptive texts with images on the various synths used in the recording. Very, very cool. If you remember the previous post, the CD features a version of Bolero that is built upon classic synthesizers over time. If you appreciate synths, it doesn't get much better than this.
I added a link to the right of the site under the Bob Moog Foundation. Do check it out.

My Curse (full) on a keyboard

YouTube via mtg8321. The ANTI-SYNTH!!! http://www.myspace.com/metalpianoman
"Here's my cover of Killswitch Engage's "My Curse".

A few things about the music, video, and images.

1. This is played entirely by ear. It took me about 3 or 4 days to learn fully.
2. The keyboard is a Korg Karma using an Overdrive guitar sound.
3. The audio was recorded via Pro Tools.
4. The images are pictures I took out in Colorado, in 2006.
5. I edited the video today.

Analog Solutions Red Square V2

"Having an "open" system like this, compared to a non-modular synth, gives you a large number of creative opportunities such as applying pedals and effects - things like adding reverb to an LFO signal, tremolo to VCO, distrotion to the Envelopes, etc, via something like a Boss Line Selector pedal. The low pass filter gives a different flavor compared to typical 24db diode ladder types. Great fos bass, hard sounds, pads with unique character via the filter. Audio in and out are present on both front and rear of the unit. Midi In and Thru on back. Unit has built-in 16bit Midi-to-CV converter.
