MFOS Sound Lab Ultimate

via this auction
"This unit uses a 12VAC wallwart (included). Come with 12 banana patch cables. Features an Auxillary panel for pitch Gate trigger and modulation control utilizing the 1/4inch patch jack standard of most modular systems. This is a very good sounding and affordable battery of synth power as a stand alone unit or a powerful addition to any modular system. The synth can stand alone without a controller with free running oscillators. Very nice ambient and melodic beats can be attained in this configuration alone.

Features:
# Three Musically Accurate VCOs (sawtooth and variable width rectangular wave forms, pulse width modulation, hard-sync, log and linear CV inputs)
# VCOs provide plenty of tracking range. About 14 octaves. Very acurate pitch control with no drift; uses Tempco tempurture compensating resistors to compenate for tempurature drift.
# White Noise Generator: 3 outputs, one internal through the amp and 2 patchable outputs.
# Active Mixer (for VCOs, noise and external input) 1/4inch external input for routing other instruments through the VCA and VCF on the aux panel.
# Voltage Controlled LP Filter (12db/Oct doubles as a sine wave oscillator) with internal AR and LFO modulation and two modulation inputs, one 1/4inch input on aux panel.
# Voltage Controlled Amplifier (log response) with internal AR and LFO modulation and two modulation inputs on front, one 1/4inch input on aux panel.
# Attack Release Envelope Generator with short to very long attack release times and trigger/gate selection; inernally routed to filter and amp, 2 external outputs, 1 gate/trigger input on front panel and one 1/4inch input on aux panel.
# Two Low Frequency Oscillators (square, ramp, tri and sawtooth waveforms) with 2 external outputs each. LFO1 routes internally to modulate the VCF as well. LFO2 routes internally to modulate the VCA as well. Very short to really long frequency adjustment. Indicator LEDs
# Repeat Gate Generator (doubles as another square wave LFO) with two gate outputs. Indicator LED
# Sample & Hold (with variable sample rate and glide) 1 sampling input, 3 outputs and 1 trigger output. Indicator LED
# Attenuator Bank (for an infinite variety of modulation patches)
# Patch Panel Design (provides infinitely variable combinations of sounds)"

Iasos - playing "Splash Happy" on 2 keyboards

Anyone know what he's playing?
"This was video-taped MANY years ago. I was performing along to one of the dance pieces on my tropical dance album - "Bora Bora 2000". Great fun! Enjoy! Iasos website = iasos..."

No synths in the following but it does sound synthetic. And of course the title...

North Korea to Make Synth / Groovebox

"From the official news site of the DPRK"

" Electronic Musical Instruments Manufactured
Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The Music and Video Electronics J. V. C. of the DPRK has recently produced electronic piano Sobaeksu and electronic organ Jangjasan for popular use, which have Korean rhythms embedded in their memories.

The electronic musical instruments to which digital sound technology was applied can be used for early musical education and dissemination of popular songs. It is also applicable to creating and editing musical pieces, connected to computer.

Sobaeksu has 42 kinds of rhythms including 14 Korean ones, 128 kinds of MIDI standard tones and 61 kinds of percussion instrumental tones in its memory.

Several famous Korean songs including "Native Home Covered with White Snow" are recorded in its memory, too.

It can be used in general musical education including sound detection, because it gives clear and correct tones with the help of the PCM digital sound source based on extra-large integration circuit.

Stored in Jangjasan are 33 children's songs, 47 kinds of rhythms including 14 Korean ones, 136 MIDI standard tones and 61 percussion instrumental tones.

As children can practice music on the basis of the musical pieces embedded in it, it greatly helps children learning music.

The musical instruments are good for establishing the Juche character and the national character in the musical education."
