Saturday Night Villain - Red Flags

"The short version of the story: I went on a second date with this girl I was really starting to like. Little did I know that she would end up running off with another guy that night! I painfully watched in shock and disbelief as they left this Hollywood club together, hand in hand. In the following days, both parties proceeded to bombard me with apologies via myspace and text messages. Armed with all this great content, I converted their pleas to synthesized speech, and the song Red Flags was born. What you hear is what they said (with actual testimony from club witnesses and some phallic references thrown in for good measure).

By Logan Mannstrane (Scott Metzger) and Lord Kick Drum (Ken Hankins)

DotCom, MFM, MAQ16/3, Nord Lead 1 and Kawai 100F

YouTube via attorks
"This time tried to do some camera close-ups and moves but it is difficult doing it all alone. The video shows another sequencer improvisation.
The Synthesizers.com sequence starts dry and then I switch on the AKAI Head Rush E2 in tape echo mode (blue device on the top right of the DotCom). You can hear how the sequence becomes alive. When I switch the connect switch on the Q124, the CV of row 1 of the MAQ16/3 is connected to the 1V/Oct of the Q107. Row 1 drives the DotCom and the MFM. Row 2 drives the Nord Lead 1 which 2nd VCO is detuned 5 semitones down to simulate chords. Row 3 adds 2 semitones to row 1 each 8 steps. The solo is done on the Kawai 100F."

"All the sounds programmed by Yarosystems. All these patches should also be possible on the Radias, and most of them on the MS2000 and the Microkorg too."

Cakewalk Z3ta+1: Mr. Automatic Checks Out Robot Mrs. Douglas

YouTube via gearwire
"Gearwire's Bill Holland takes the Cakewalk Z3ta+1 synthesizer to Gearwire studio for a good oscillating. "Blue Monday" makes its return, and just starting to examine the oscillato-arpeggiatory features of the Z3ta+1 has it sounding more mangled than the line sounded at any point in his Rapture LE tweakings. See more on Gearwire.com."

The Book of sound By Ben Houston .

This extra custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Also in the series on the site is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. This piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, two with common center points and a twelve point patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, featured is a light sensitive photo theramin control for global synth sound as well as: two more knobs (global control and power kill), glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections,light sensitive photo-contol, reset, 1/4" output, built in battery pack, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.. Runs on 4 "AA" batteries Includes manuel"

Korg MS-02 Interface

via this auction
"Korg (and Yamaha CS) synths use Hz/Octave for their CV and Gate whereas most other manufactures use Volt/Octave. This interface is designed to convert one to the other and vice versa. It can also convert gate signals. Use your Pro-One to control an MS-10 or 20. Use the MS-20 to control your Roland. It basically allows you to control any CV synth with any CV synth. This also has many multiples for duplicating signals... Here is a webpage that explains more.
