ViRay's Inspiration (2009 Numeric Synthesis)

YouTube via VironCybernet
"A new short song made to sound like the one that inspired me to try to make synthesizers as a child.
Played first as a "musical number", one that sounds like music when sent through a serial port directly to a speaker, then as synthesized using the same functions as the 1985 Speech Synthesizer Original Disk. This is a new variant technique that may enable everyone to write new songs that can have the same "energy" as their favorite songs. 30 years after the inspiration, this has been done."

Mystery - Nokia Rumba Tune

YouTube via mysteritmo
"Not being able to escape the Nokia Tune whereever I go, I decided to have a bit of fun with it instead of getting annoyed. How would it sound as a poppy rumba tune? I used the Korg KR-55 drum machine for rhythm and the keyboard sounds comes from the Casio Tonebank CT-395. Everything is played live since the Casio doesn't have any type of sync. I bought the keyboard at a garage sale for only 6 Euro and I think it actually has some very cool sounds! Play in HQ and enjoy! :-)"

Aurora - Make Music on your Pocket PC Part 2

YouTube via 4pockets
"http://www.4pockets.com
Aurora Sound and Light - Aurora is our all new pattern based musical sequencing software for the Pocket PC, and best of all, you dont need to have a musical bone in your body in order to create great tunes. By simply choosing a musical scale every note you play is in perfect tune, leaving you to choose what sounds best. Great, but what does Aurora offer the more accomplished musician I hear you ask? Well, Aurora hides a lot of its complexity from novice users, but by switching to advanced mode you get full control over the built in instruments and effects, as well as many advanced modes such as the Atomizer and XY Mode which allows you to manipulate sound in real-time. You can create your own instrument from recordings made using the built in microphone. Just think, a full drum kit of you beatboxing into the microphone! Aurora allows a mixture of pattern based recording and live performance. You can piece together complete compositions, or simply improvise a performance, all of which can be captured to a file, for use as a ringtones, or to share with others. An integrated mixer, combined with the ability to add audio effects and layer automation means that you achieve a pretty sophisticated sound in a fun and user friendly way. http://www.4pockets.com http://www.twitter.com/4pockets"

Synthesizer Music Outer Space

YouTube via urthmusic
"I was playing around my new Juno-Di Synthesizer today and came up with this piece of Synthesizer Music. All the samples are recorded directly from the Juno-Di. No editing was done except adjusting the volume of the tracks in Cubase LE 4

This is the first Synthesizer I ever had and I'm quite excited and pleased with the sound of Juno Di. Excellent Synth when you look at price vs. features.

I sure do like the Blade Runner soundtrack, always seems to inspire me."

Thomas White Buchla Resonant Lopass Gate PCB's

via Thomas White:
"I am taking orders for the 3rd and likely final batch of the Resonant Lopass Gate PCB's I have produced. They are available for order at my website:

The link is: [here]

Boards are now being ordered and I estimate shipping to be no later than November 1st. You can buy now and ensure your order, or buy later and hope there are boards left. I have an excellent record of delivery so whatever works for you will work for me. I am quite glad to have interest remaining in this project. I will order more than the interested amount to have some extras for those that are not on the web that often (the maybe 1% of the diy community hah ha!).

The boards are going to be $15 each (single PCB in plastic bag for silver board finish protection) this last batch, which is still quite reasonable I hope you will find. Shipping to anywhere in the world is included in that cost. US orders have arrived in as soon as 2 days after (Los Angeles area near me) but have also taken as long as 4 weeks to show up around the world. Orders are shipped out in the order received and everyone should have something to build by the middle to end of November. Panic will not be accepted as I will make sure you are happy. Questions about specific shipping times can be posed to the folks on the E-M Forum for reports on the 1st two batches.

My docs will stay the same for now due to an extreme time shortage on my end. Parts vary anyway due to the different build factors involved. Pot types and Vactrol choices are the big variables. I encourage you to search for the various build reports on the web, in particular that on Dave Brown's www.modularsynthesis.com. He has the best parts list and a neat mod for builders looking to do something different with the onboard mixer section. Bridechamber.com has parts kits and panels that are amazing as usual. I just got 4 from him for my own units. And don't forget that Fonik has the extra super cool gate switching PCB for sale. A new batch of boards may mean a second batch of those.

Off to order the PCBs now. Thanks again guys, you have all made this possible with your expressed interest in a 3rd run of pcbs. Thanks to electro-music. Respectfully,
