micromac sound test (improved)
YouTube Uploaded by macbethsynthesizers on Mar 3, 2012
"Following on from the previous video where we had a tour around the micromac- I felt the sound quality could have been better- compression x 2 caused various anomalies on the audio demonstration. Here is the Audio demo again- but with a far higher quality sound- (though still a small amount of distortion!!.)
The video itself looks like some outcast from a 1960's television studio!"

Commodore 64 MSSIAH Demo - With 8 Bit Dubstep
YouTube Uploaded by radlers on Mar 2, 2012
"Part of my studio synth tech includes a Commodore 64 (SX64) running MSSIAH, which is a fairly new suite of music software tools that also include MIDI. Majority of this song is actually done using MSSIAH's various tools. The electric piano and the strings are my Korg M50. Some of the drum tracks are MSSIAH, the others are a loop sample. The Dubstep bass was achieved using the Mono Synth module in MSSIAH tied into Logic, using MIDI triggers from Logic to control the rate of the 'wobble' in the bass. This was demoed at THEMUSEUM in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada recently."

Moogerfooger Cluster Flux is a MIDI Synth!
YouTube Uploaded by mootbooxle on Mar 3, 2012
"The Moog Moogerfooger MF-108M Cluster Flux is fully MIDI-controllable.
Moot demonstrates one of the most powerful uses for that feature by using the Cluster Flux as an analog synthesizer in its own right. No other sound source or processing (besides some reverb) was used in this piece.
For a full demo of what this baby can do, check out Moot's review of the Cluster Flux.

iPulseV201 v1.2 Wired and Wireless CoreMIDI iPad Editor Now Available
YouTube Uploaded by iControlMIDI on Feb 3, 2012
"Apple has released iPulseV201 v1.2 our Wired and Wireless CoreMIDI iPad Editor for Waldorf Pulse / Pulse+ v2.01
As it is in the Waldorf family, we are providing a workflow similar to the iControlMIDI editors for the Blofeld and Microwave 1.
iControlMIDI has all the Pulse parameters sonically logically organized; like OSC Pages with OSC modulations, VCF Page with VCF modulations and envelop, VCA Page with VCA modulations and envelop.
As usual iControlMIDI will display the parameter name ex: OSC Shape and the parameter value ex: Saw.
To offer an even better user experience, iControlMIDI displays some numerical parameter in % (ex: OSC Pulse Width and VCF Key Tracking); Hz (ex: LFO Speed) or BPM (ex: ARP Tempo); rather than plain numbers.
In order to offer an even faster workflow:
• iControlMIDI automatically enables OSC Pulse Width parameter if the OSC Shape is equal to Pulse or Cross Modulation
• iControlMIDI automatically disables OSC Pulse Width parameter if the OSC Shape is equal to Saw or Triangle
• iControlMIDI automatically enables Modulation Source and Modulation Destination parameters if the Modulation Amount parameters is different than zero
• iControlMIDI automatically disables Modulation Source and Modulation Destination parameters if the Modulation Amount parameter is equal to zero
The Pulse and Pulse+ can be edited using the following Pages:
• Page 1: OSC1 and OSC1 Modulations
• Page 2: OSC2 and OSC2 Modulations
• Page 3: OSC3
• Page 4: Noise, External In (+), CV2 (+), OSC Pitch and Pitch Modulations
• Page 5: VCF, VCF Modulations and VCF Envelop [ENV1]
• Page 6: VCA, VCA Modulations and VCA Envelop [ENV2]
• Page 7: LFO1 and LFO2
• Page 8: Modulation Matrix [1 to 4]
• Page 9: Arpeggiator"

MFB Megazwerg sequenced with matrix sequencer bindubba 3
YouTube Uploaded by DJjondent on Mar 2, 2012
"This video is a response to a request.....
My apologies for taking so long to reply to your email.
I still like the Megazwerg and haven't any intention to sell it yet.
kind of because its very portable. There arent many patchable semimodular analog synths with midi & CV/gate for under $600 out there.
There is one on EBay right now for 371 British pounds = 588.03500 U.S. dollars.
Build quality for all this MFB stuff isnt too bad.
I wish they would use something other than a black plastic box to house it -
though they MFB also make individual eurorack style modules.
If you have a eurorack setup buy modules as you like - prob more expensive but
you get what you want.
The 4 step sequencer is great for modulating all sorts of things.
its my fav section .. along with the delay.
In the video I use it to mod the delay.
The filter, envelope, mixer, all standard ...nothing really special.
Though you can never have enough of these things.
The Drum sounds are from the Schlagzwerg.
There are better drum modules out there , but the portability of this thing makes it a keeper
for me ... along with the Kraftzwerg... They are reliable, inexpensive ...
I usually sequence these things with abelton on the road so to add extra punchier drums is easy.
(layering a VST drum machine over the Schlagzwerg isnt cheating .. is it??)
Anyway, I've got the 3 installed into an old DJ turntable road case (it was my old Technics 1200 roadcase.)
2 synths and a drum machine in a cheap roadcase.
Add this to all the VST plugins you like and you can sound like the Chemical Bros :-)
In the vid, the drums are sequenced the old fashioned way ... with gate signals fron the matrix sequencer (bindubba 3)on the left (You can use any sequencer really ... but the matrix sequencer is great for creating complicated patterns).
The Megazwerg is also sequenced with CV ... just random patterns using the same sequencer (NonlinearCircuits)

Cyndustries Photon Interface March Special
via this auctionsee cyndustries on eBay for more.
"PHOTON INTERFACE MODULE Last remaining units Modcan A-Series Format...
Why work in the dark? An elegant new lighting solution for your system and hand-playable optical voltage processor module is available all-in-one right now!
Each Photon Interface module comes with a durable black metal Littlelite brand high-intensity gooseneck lamp, a rheostat dimmer, heavy duty right-angle 4-pin panel connectors, and an independent 12 Volt DC power transformer for dependable system lighting right where you need it. The lower half of the module features a highly sensitive photocell with its own dedicated voltage processor which makes for a great performance controller when your hand passes between photocell and lamp, (you can even tease this photocell from across the room with flashlights or lasers if you like...)The voltage processor has an adjustable attenuator and comparator and offers both positive and inverted outputs. Rushing the photocell suddenly with your hand will also generate a Gate Output for triggering different things, and you can switch between an external signal input or an adjustable internal voltage supply simply with the pull of a knob.
This is an illuminating little module with lots of fun and usefulness!"
MeeBlip SE Now Available
via MeeBlip" A more intuitive, playable control layout. The changes are subtle, but after lots of conversations with users, we worked to make each knob and switch the choice we liked best. (Of course, you can still modify those choices via our open source firmware, if you like.)
Patch storage. Sure, it was a bit more “pure” never being able to store patches, but this is a digital synth, after all. Now, you can save and recall up to 16 patches right on the MeeBlip, using dedicated front panel load and save buttons. It’s especially nice for live performance.
Variable pulse width. Instead of a fixed square wave, you can now use the dedicated PWM knob to adjust the timbre of the first oscillator. There’s also a “pwm sweep” switch for enabling an automated PWM envelope, of which we’ve grown rather fond. Hello, thick synth leads.
Anti-aliasing. You can now use more pristine anti-aliased waveforms, or turn this off for other timbral effects. It gives you another option for coloring the MeeBlip’s sound.
Control everything with MIDI. It’s simple: if there’s a sound parameter in the MeeBlip, there’s a switch or knob to play with it. And now, the reverse is true, too: if you see a switch or knob, you can control it via MIDI. At last, you can use a tracker or sequencer to program detailed MeeBlip sounds."
