"Part one of a movie set about the creation of a MIDI interface from scrap parts for a Korg Trident synthesizer. This story is in the making so there will be more parts to come...."

Update:

Preparing a Korg Trident for MIDI Part 2

"A movie discribing the preparing of a Korg Trident for a MIDI interface.
It is a proces in the making, so stay in tune for updates because the Interface is to be created from scrap parts.
This is not a retrofit, it's my own re-using of scrap electronics to create a new MIDI interface."

Every Conductor Needs a Synthi

I saw this one on SURROUNDHEAD. Anyone know if it's an original? It's not listed on the Every Advert Needs a Synthi site.

Update via Matt in the comments: "It's listed in Peter Forrest's A-Z "As well as the Every Nun Needs a Synthi advert, there were also aads on similar lines for Every Picnic.., Everey Band.., Every Christmas.., and, more bizarrely, Every Conductor.., and Every Opera - this last one designed to co-incide with Glyndebourne"

"We had a chance to audition the John Bowen Synth Design Solaris, and we took it at WInter NAMM 2009. This highly-tweakable, digitally controlled synth might be a bit intimidating upon first encounter, but had the perfect guide to show us the ropes: John Bowen himself!"

Vermona Perfourmer + TB-303 (video 1)

YouTube via DeathByDinSync
"The Perfourmer is 4 synths in one case. You can set it up in many ways... Unison, Duo, Poly. In this video, I have Synth 2 being controlled by CV/Gate from my TB-303 (out of frame). Synth 3 & 4 are together being controlled via MIDI, on the same channel, by Ableton Live. Synth 1 is set to "LFO mode" where the LFO is modulating the VCA which is tuned to the root note of the main sequence of Synth 2. This is an excellent synth... I'm extremely impressed with it's sound.

The TB-303's actual audio is brought in later, through my mixer... I've added chorus & reverb, which you can see from the bars moving on the SDX rack.

Bass drum is from a TR-606 sample in Ableton
