I just discovered "The Veldt" by Deadmau5 and really enjoyed it. I noticed that I could recreate the riff with my Mono/poly, with the TR-808 trigging the gate of it, and off I went!
Equipment used: Roland TR-808 (drums and trigger for the Mono-poly), Juno 60, Alpha Juno; Korg Mono/Poly, Polysix; Electro Harmonix Small Stone; Boss DD-3; Lexicon MPX500, MPX110; Allen & Heath GS1; Tascam 38, DX-4D; Alesis iO26 & Izotope Ozone 5 for mastering
Only analog synths used, recorded to tape, and mixed with an analog mixer. No computers or MIDI used during recording and mixing. Only the final stereo track was mastered using Izotope Ozone 5 (AAAD)."

"This auction is for a FULLY SERVICED great sounding Arp 2600 (synthesizer only). And yes, this 2600 features the 4012 Moog-copy filter!
Unit serviced by the one and only dedicated Arp tech of 23 years, Phil Cirocco of C.M.S. / Discrete Sythesizers.
Please do your homework on this like I have; visit the above link and see the clients Phil has worked with. Who would you trust when buying this rare piece? Phil wouldn't let me advertise him having worked on this 2600 if I didn't allow him to do the repairs he needed to; he knew I might consider selling it eventually and he prides himself on the work he does. Other units here on eBay have been advertised as being serviced but who knows by who…
…despite the outer case wear and tear this fully serviced Arp comes with a warranty on the following work:
Power supply replaced with a rebuilt stock ARP 2600 power supply and should not require service for many years.
All boards and sliders were washed in a chemical bath
Replaced all rusty jack washers (83 total)
Replaced all rusty jack nuts (83 total)
Replaced Reverb tank w/ OEM tank
Replaced both speakers w/ two (2) new speakers (custom-made in the USA to Arp's original specs, 40 ohm coils and the same mounting holes)
All the electronics and everything has been restored to full working order according to ARP factory specs!
All sections have been tested and calibrated and are fully operational!
The VCO' s are totally stable and there is no perceptible drift even when left on overnight!
THE BAD
Phil did not restore the outer cabinet or the slightly worn front panel silkscreen so it remains worn / as-is. The unit is missing (12) slider caps and no replacements could be purchased at the time of repair (but the sliders themselves are easily useable / not damaged in any way). Cosmetically, the outer casing Tolex and hardware has seen better days as can be confirmed in my detailed pics but this is strictly cosmetic! The wood case that is covered by the Tolex continues to function as it should to protect this precious synth.
This 2600 comes with lid, power cable, owners manual & patch book."

When you think of FM synthesis you typically think of Yamaha and Casio's Phase Distortion synthesis. If you remember from this post, neither were actually FM synthesis? What was KORG's method?
Update via MrLonghair in the comments: "Korg simply licensed use of the YM2164 for the DS8 and the 707. There's an FB01 in there basically, not a bad machine if you get it for the right price and need the cheesiest of neck-less all-in-one keytar action."

Technics SX-WSA1R WSA1 Acoustic Physical Modelling Synthesiser

"This is a remarkable synthesiser launched by Technics in 1995. Technics did not produce them in large numbers because they were very expensive when launched at nearly £2,200. At the time, and even by today’s standards, it was revolutionary combining samples as the drivers for a physical modelling synthesiser. By using samples as the drivers, Panasonic Technics were able to produce a powerful 32-channel multi-timbre synthesiser with 64 notes polyphony. This means you can use the WSA1R for large productions and layered sounds.
Although deep in its capability, the WSA1R is easy to programme because it has an excellent user interface. The interface comprises of a large display and many function keys. The synth can produce some very powerful sounds with a lot of expression and dynamics. In my experience it produces much more expression than a typical modern sample-based synthesiser. It also has a two-axis joystick “ball” which you can modulate the sounds in real time.
The module has a floppy drive which can take 720kb and 1.44mb disks. The drive can be used to back-up sounds and also play standard midi files directly from disk. This, combined with its GM setting, makes it a great synth for playing back tracks live or in the studio for practice.
There is some interesting information about the WSA1R including a downloadable manual and other resources at http://xy.cx/synth/wsa1/
