Dronebox
"Description:
Dronebox is a bank of six resonant, tunable comb filters with extensive modulation options. It can be used to create lush evolving drones or to add resonance to source material. For instance it can simulate the sound of the sympathetic strings of the sitar - great for processing guitar.

Features:
* 6 comb filters that can be tuned by note name, frequency, or by midi input
* Volume, Pan, Polarity, Damping and Decay time controls for each comb filter
* Oscilator to reinforce the drone
* Excitation section to feed the comb filters with different noise
* Resonant filter to warm up the input signal
* Four syncable LFOs with 5 different waveshapes
* Modulation Matrix
* Pitch bender to adjust the pitch of all combs at once
* Delay effect
* Reverb effect
* Tool Tips for each section"
See the Dronebox page for demos and more.

Polycomb

* Up to 6 voices of Unison for thick detuned effects
* Excitation section to feed the comb filters with different noise

"The video speaks for itself. A friend on Myspace shared it with me & I just CAN'T NOT share with everyone on You Tube. I've also made this into a "Bumper Sticker" for those of you who use that MySpace App. Let me know if you need it and I'll hook you up!!!"

Raquel Welch: Space-Girl Dance

YouTube via KSRothwell. via dyLAB "im sure synths were used in the making of the sounds in this clip"
If anyone knows, feel free to comment.
video description:
"An excerpt from Raquel! Deluxe Addition. A young and VERY sexy Requel Welch dancing a space girl dance in this kitchy video made in the 1970s.

If you look carefully, at 1:44, the guy on the left messes up.

A special thanks to http://www.mrbalihai.com who said: thanks to the astute bOINGbOING ( http://www.boingboing.net )readers who pointed out that the bizarre sculptures featured in the video were part of the Ruta de la Amistad public sculpture project at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and that this clip came from Raquel's eponymous 1970 television special."

Lunetta Synth Demo

YouTube via psyingo

"This is a little demo I came up with, I decided to narrate this because not alot of synth videos really have explainations. If you would like to hear the unnarrated audio, it is available here http://www.bitkins.com/ruin/lune2.mp3
it's nothing special, just a quick patch; but the sounds that can come out of this small setup are still quite great. fun to play around with the combinations.
