How to Make Bass Sound with TAL Elek7ro

YouTube via VstCafe
"This tutorial shows how to create some simple bass with freely available TAL Elek7ro virtual (bass) synth. Well, i'm not trying to create one particular, great sound. I'm just showing you the meaning of most knobs and it's up to you to create your own bass :). There are so many options - even if you set the knobs 100 % same as me, you can still create some unique bass, thanks to FM knob.

Don't forget to check my blog about music production - http://www.vstcafe.com :)"

AudioMulch 2.0 - metasurface meets speech synthesis

YouTube via AudioMulch
"Preview of the soon-to-be-released version 2.0 of AudioMulch Interactive Music Studio. This short screencast demonstrates the automated metasurface controlling a simple voice synthesis patch. Sadly our screen recording software makes the real-time manipulation of the metasurface seem jumpy -- in reality it's as smooth as yacht rock. Created for the AudioMulch blog: http://www.audiomulch.com/blog"

Nektar - Snowball Defroster

YouTube via lamronba2099. Roland GR-500 and Yamaha CS80. What's on top of the Rhodes?

via Kaden: "The guitarist is the guy from Nektar, the synthguitar is a GR-500 which
seems to be controlling some aspects of a mini... he has to trigger notes
from the keyboard *then* minge away on the guitar. Keyboardist and drummer
are from Passport, and the bassist is the guy who played bass on Donna
Summers' unfortunate 'Love to Love You, Baby'."
