MATRIXSYNTH

rabbit ears

via Baghead's sounds channel
"starts with simple drum loop , then all changes to drum loop are due to AudioDamage Automaton, the synth is the DSI desktop evolver, same patch but through 6 octaves. I really like how the lower octaves deconstruct the sound, almost struggling to get out"

Sarah Palin - Save the Wolves

YouTube via PhotoAnimationGuy. That makes it Obama 3, McCain 0. Hmm... Synths and Cats... Synths and Dogs... Synths and Birds... Synths and Obama... We are starting to see another pattern here.
Again, it's always about the synths: "Hi, I made this anti Sarah Palin video using some analog synths. I used the cantus firmus patch on the alesis andromeda heavily, ms-20 saw wave for the gangsta lead on the chorus section, vintage jazz bass line, 808 samples from my old 808." You send it, I post it. Come on McCainies, send something in to make it even. Apologies to the politically adverse.

Magnetic RAM upgrade

"The Electrongate MRAM upgrade is designed for all Oberheim Z-80 based products including the DMX, DX, OB-8, OB-Xa, OB-X and DSX.

This upgrade replaces the battery-backed RAM used to hold patches and sequences with a new magnetic RAM technology that requires no battery to hold data when the power is off."
