YouTube via Pehr81 — May 13, 2008 — "This is the Klee driving two VCO-VCF-VCA patches and one without the filter. All modules used are MFOS-DIY (www.musicfromouterspace.com).

Pardon the sound quality and the light, it is filmed with a small digital camera."

iPad (and Smule)

Three music apps in this video presented by Smule co-founder Dr. Ge Wang.

Their upcoming Magic Piano [see this post], and Ocarina [albeit the iPhone version].

Realize this is behind doors at an Apple store for a private screening for ABC news about the iPad in general, and the one showing the demos is the creator of probably the most popular music (synth based) apps for the iPhone. Smule sent in videos to post here on MATRIXSYNTH before their fist apps took off.

Here's one for Ocarina from Dec 2008 and one for Sonic Vox from Oct of 08. It's pretty cool seeing them get the spotlight here.

The first app, or rather book I plan to pick up? It's not a synth, it's this. Be sure to see Boing Boing's review on the iPad here and the 3:47 mark in the video below [the Marvel comics app will probably be second - see 3:37 below - I've always wanted to re-read X-Man 94 on]. Also be sure to see this post and poll when the iPad was first announced. It's an interesting look back and it will just get more interesting over time.

Modules should be available soon. Stay tuned."

Owl City at The Fillmore - "Synthesizer"

"Approved poster for Owl City show at The Fillmore.

Thinking about illustrating a ridiculous synthesizer is much easier than actually going ahead and illustrating a ridiculous synthesizer (and then having to do it twice because you didn't like the first version).

See this post for a video by Owl City. Owl City also on tour with Lights.

YouTube via fuckingharpsichord — March 31, 2010 —
"Vermona Drm programming in step mode
I allso let you hear the difference a flam gives to the two (!) snare drums. Allso how to save a pattern (takes a while before the button really got pushed) and the sound of the triger output.

Im sorry the sound quality is poor i recorded direct with youtube.."

New YouTube embedding format, BTW.

Vermona Drm real time programming + Korg Monopoly

"Now I do a realtime recording. First i program my metronom = clave. Sometimes the metronom is pitched different than the clave u use so you get two claves ! You can allso hear the Korg monopoly playing an arpeggio. And the blue thing in the back are a bunch of dolphins passing by : love dolphins"
