Twinkle Star 2 - ambient electronic music

YouTube via doctorvague — May 05, 2010 — "Modular synth and Alesis Andromeda using Nodal software to generate the notes. This might be 'progressive ambient' if you want to split hairs. Part one is audio only on Soundcloud using a major scale. This one uses the Lydian mode."

2x Seiko DS-250 with DS-310

flickr by joelbrave

"Two Seiko DS-250 digital synths"

Update via onephatcat in the comments: "A couple of comments on my photo:

When connecting two DS-250's via MIDI, you can control the Vibrato depth/speed, sustain length (for both sound 1 and 2 in Dual mode) , detune, ocatave and chorus on/off/depth controls of the second DS-250 from the first one. The second DS-250 came with a Seiko expression pedal (useful as The Seiko's don't seem to respond to Midi volume control) and some kind of sound cartridge, which was attached to the back with a special bracket (removed so I could attach the DS-310 synth module). looking for additional Seiko paraphernalia, manuals, hardware, catalogs, advertisements, hit me up if you have any or even photographs."

Google Chrome Speed Tests

YouTube via googlechrome — May 03, 2010 — Yamaha SHS-10 at 3:00 on.

"These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times. If you're interested in the technical details, read on!

Equipment used:

- Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed
- Monitor - 24" Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process.
- 15Mbps Internet connection.
- Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps


"Why does allrecipes.com in the potato gun sequence appear at once, and not the text first and images second? And why does it appear to render from bottom of the screen to the top?"

Chrome sends the rendered page to the video card buffer all at once, which is why allrecipes.com appears at once, and not with the text first and images second. Chrome actually paints the page from top to bottom, but to eliminate a shadow from the driver board, we had to flip the monitor upside down and set the system preferences in Windows to rotate everything 180 degrees, resulting in the page appearing to render from bottom to top.

"Why does the top one third of the page appear first on the weather.com page load?"

Sometimes only half the buffer gets filled before the video card sends its buffer over to the LCD panel. This is because Chrome on Windows uses GDI to draw, which does not do v-sync.

"The screen wipes are so smooth - how was that achieved?"

The screen wipes up in a gradated wipe because LCD pixels take around 10ms to flip and gradually change color.

"I had a wonderful photoshoot with my good friend and fellow bandmember in Kratic,
Marius Bjørnson on this amazing summer day for a shoot at a really cool skatepark in Oslo to get some promoshots.

He is becoming known in the underground world with electronica and dubstep, these photos are for a front page section at www.bjorkremixes.com where he and many others make remixes of Björk.

You can see some wicked color shots of this dude here"

ROLAND SYSTEM 100. 101, 102. Boxed

via this auction

"Roland System 100 Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander. Both units are in great condition having been stored for the majority of their existence in the original boxes.

The Boxes are included and after 34 years have a bit of wear as is to be expected. The machines are superb examples for the age.

Also included is all the paper work. Manuals, Patch Books, The very hard to find Patch Notes, and even the Warranty Registration Cards from Beckman Musical Instruments, Los Angeles.

Because the units are so beautiful and complete with boxes and paperwork, they would suit a Museum or serious collector.

The units are both 110V and I will include 2 Voltage converters if the buyer is running on 220V or 240V Mains as I have been."
