NOT NAMM: synthesis technology e340 demo

E340 noodle by ignatius
"Synthesis Technology E340 demo. noodling on day one. e340 + modcan sequencer + Asys envelope + wiard/malekko Borg as VCA and sometimes i let the filter do a little work and sometimes FM the e340 w/plan B model 15.. but mostly it's the saw/sine output of the e340 w/some chaos. oh, and at times you are hearing both waveforms simultaneously. final output was from modcan 21A VCA."

Peavey Spectrum Synth Demo

YouTube via stuthomson
"The most mysterious, misunderstood and under-rated digital synth ever made. Look under the hood 123 waveforms (I kid you not). 4 oscillators, 2 filters (each configurable to LP, HP and BP). Four (yes, I said 4) envelopes, 2 LFOs and lots of other goodies but no effects!. Dont buy the module without obtaining software I use WinSysex with the Spectrum Synth .ini file. For this demo I have the unit connected to a NanoVerb chorus"

"A while back I became fascinated with Nick Veasey's xray photography. I figured there must be a way I could create images with a similar end result but bypassing the need for the actual technology (and all the radiation that comes with it).

So while I was taking apart my Kaossilator to fix, I figured I would give this a try. To start, I took images of each of the individual parts. I then turned all of the images to b&w and inverted them. I then brought all of the images into one file as separate layers and began to align them while adjusting the opacity of each. After a bit of experimenting and some touching up, this is what I came up with.

Next project will be doing this with a camera I'm planning to take apart to convert to infrared. No promises as to when I'll get that up here though."
