Where Has My Heart Flown?
YouTube Published on Jul 26, 2012 by JohnLRice
"This was a self generating 'wind chime' patch that I was listening to for a while and thought it was pleasant enough to make a quick video out of. The trees and blue sky were recorded the day before at my folk's beach cabin.
Thank you for watching!"

Bob Moog's Workshop
"Tucked away in a unassuming corner of the Moog Factory is a small room that could easily be described as Santa’s Workshop, of course the more accurate name would be 'Bob’s Workshop.' The Moog Machine Shop houses Bob Moog’s original machining tools, some passed down from his father, and many of which were used to create the original Voyager prototype. If these machines could talk they would have some interesting stories to tell of late night inspiration and musical innovation. 
The Machine Shop continues to play a critical role in prototyping and development, every Moog instrument begins it life here, and everything from the Little Phatty to the Minitaur has experienced the touch of Bob’s tools."via Moog Music Inc, where you'll find additional pics.

Synth Tech E440 VCF Exploration
YouTube Published on Jul 25, 2012 by JohnLRice
"Long test of the new Synth Tech E440 VCF. Table of contents below:
0:10 to 1:15 - basic noise
1:15 to 2:10 - basic low tone with no resonance
2:10 to 5:50 - basic low tone with resonance
5:50 to 18:00 - basic LFO modulation
18:00 to 20:25 - NoiseRing modulation
20:25 to 26:30 - complex LFO modulation (E355)
26:30 to End - trying all kinda stuff ;-)"

Making a dubstep track with just a door stopper sound - M4M
YouTube Published on Jul 25, 2012 by muzik4machines
Follow-up to Making a dubstep track with just a dialup modem sound - M4M. via Tb Aothree on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"challenge part deux
the modem was too easy, all kind of noises and tones just perfect for creating drums, basses and everything, so this time i attacked the second most common dubstep myth, the door stopper, so i found myself 2 nice door stopper samples and built a whole song with them, some parts are not recorded, as is all the arrangement as my laptop is wayyyyy too old to record audio and video while producing

"For each patch, the DCO waveform can be set to Square (with separate pulse width modulation control) and Sawtooth, and both can be combined together for rich tonality. Separate sliders also control the level of a discrete noise generator and the sub-harmonic oscillator. You can also adjust the pitch of the oscillators across 3 octaves. There's also a nice trick to allow you to stack the oscillators for a great unison solo.
There's a 4 position High-Pass Filter which has even more bass boost, and a Low-Pass Filter which resonates to self-oscillation and has a really smooth tone to it.
The Juno-106 has a full ADSR envelope where each stage is controlled by a separate slider. This can be assigned to the filters and to the VCA.
A triangle wave LFO that has controls for rate and delay can be assigned to the oscillators and filter sections.
It also features a stereo chorus which can be set to "Rich," "Harmonic," or Off.
The 106 features full midi spec and sysex transfer facility which means you can send control changes for every single slider over midi in real time. So hook up to a midi sequencer and while recording, twiddle with the sliders and all control sound changes will be recorded in real time over midi and then played back in real-time. Then edit it and send it back to the synth."

Moullinex - Modular Jam (recording session)
YouTube Uploaded by moullinex on Jan 25, 2011
"This is the original recording (and demo-ish) version of Modular Jam. What you see in the video is the final audio of the synth, which you can hear in the main track.
It's gonna be released on Gomma on 07.10.2011"
Spotted this one for the first time in the following auction. Note this is likely not the same system for sale but just one of two video examples of the system in general given at the listing. You'll find the second video at the auction and linked further belew.

Folktek Luminist Garden By Artist Arius Blaze
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Here's a rare opportunity.A Folktek Luminist Garden soundboard/synth/effects whatever you want to call it.To get one if these you have to import it after a wait for it to be made then pay VAT on top once delivered in a month or two.It's signed by the artist who makes them,Arius Blaze of Folktek.This one has a 9 volt adaptor for 240v UK too to save the hassle. 
Just take a look and listen on YouTube to experience it. Mine is a 2010 model signed Folktek '10 on one side and Arius Blaze on the other.Be aware though,these are handmade even if advanced circuit bending,quirky,don't always do as they are told but tremendous fun and very capable in the right hands.Fully working but sold as seen,any trial welcome,possible swap outside this place for analogue or modular gear,contact me for that.This would make a great sound source for a modular too.Cash on collection or Paypal and post.UK bidders only please.Website is www.folktek.com ,Write up below from website ; The Luminist Garden created by Arius Blaze - one of the finest and sweetest sounding folktek works. This work is an expanded version of the Micro Garden, capable of making lush choral waves and entire compositions as a standalone work. The expanded soundboard has multiple pick ups that run into the delay - which offers time settings from extremely tight notated repeats to about 1.5 seconds with near infinite undecaying feedback that essentially acts as a looper allowing one to make beats by tapping the board and plucking or rubbing the strings. The delay runs into a very lush and unusual "wave reverb" that has the ability to act more as a wave generator, creating waves that can endlessly extend - based on the original note but with the ability to pitch shift the feedback, resulting in something like what is called "convolution". The result is rich electronic music from an accoustic source. Sweet ambience and micro musical. Stereo out, custom lamps and switch, runs on 9v DC power adapter (standard plug jack and power rating)."
