sg-glitchgate
"This is an experimental gating plugin- basically a rhythmic gate, but not set up in the standard way. There are two periodic gates which can be used for anything from regular rhythmic chopping to random rhythmic manipulations and strange dropouts. The gates are followed by a delay unit designed to enhance the glitchiness- it does not sync to tempo, and the delay time and gain can be randomized. There are 5 LFOs to add to the fun. A few presets are included to give you an idea of how things work.

The periodic sequence idea was largely inspired by stuff from xoxos, and uses his "regular" module to provide the pulses used in the gates. See http://www.xoxos.net"

CASIO CZ-1000 HQ SOUND DEMO

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
" The Casio CZ-1000 is a digital synthesizer with the "phase distortion" synthesis. It came out 1985 and it was a lowcost synthesizer with MIDI multimode. The idea was, to develop a digital synth with modern digital sounds, which is easy to program like an analog synth. Indeed, it uses similar terminology (DCO, DCW, DCA) - if you understand the subtractive synthesis, the CZ will be easy to understand. However, the DCW is not a real filter - it is the unit, which distorts the phase. Resonance is not available, but you can produce similar sounds with special waveforms on the DCO.

The CZ-1000 looks like something between Yamaha DX7 and Korg Poly-800. Like the Korg Poly-800, it can run on batteries. The CZ-101 is virtually the same, it just has small keys.

Vince Clarke used to have one in the eighties."

PHASE FM3

YouTube via exhadley. Buddha Machines on Amazonand on Ebay
"I did a pitch modification on a purple FM3 Buddha Machine.
Then I recorded these two machines on left and right channel.
In the beginning they are in phase but sooner they go out of phase and makes polyrythmical sounds.
I know that the new version got pitch built in as a new function, but not with these loops :-)"

atc1 acid

YouTube via squeakyfromme69
"free charles! a 'drill n bass' sorta patch on the atc1 (mini filter). there's some waldorf pulse in the background and drums are from ableton. a bit of beat slicing is done at points, but for the most part this is straight up atc."

atc1 tune

"--skip to 2:45 for the good stuff-- a more melow atc1 demo. except for the drums and reverb, it's all atc1 with the 'mini' filter. it's a beautiful synth yo! and sorry for the aliasing, but even with really bad sound quality the power of this synth should be apparent."

Kawai K3m Oscillator Waveforms

YouTube via rolandsh1000
"Just a short video showing the wavetable oscillator waveforms of the Kawai K3m. To me, this synth is a bit lifeless and cold (though still sounds generally nice) and I wondered why, since it has the terrific ssm2044 analog filters. So I decided to put the oscillators on the scope and this video demonstrates what they look like.

Many of them have a lot of extra high frequency content, and I can hear aliasing noise at low frequencies. Interesting to me is that they didn't include any basic SAW, SQU, PULSE waves, but there are a few very SINE looking waves."
