Jordan Rudess w/ the Novation Summit
video by Jordan Rudess
"This Novation Summit keyboard is awesome. Great sounding oscillators and filters. The UI rocks and it’s powerful but easy on the brain. The sonic gods are smiling on me."
Physical Synthesis Cicada - Acoustic Vibration Synthesizer
video uploads by Physical Synthesis
via Physical Synthesis
"Cicada is an inherently human and expandable modular system comprised of five primary components: AMP, PRE, Actuator, Bridge, and Soundboard.
The Cicada Actuator generates vibration through two voice-coil motors supplied from up to three amplified input signals (carrier modulator, and DC offset).
These vibrations are carried across a steel Bridge and transformed into a nonlinear tip-surface interactions with a Soundboard containing a piezoelectric pickup.The signal from the pickup is pre-amplified, filtered, and compressed to +5dB level output to either direct (speakers) or back into a DAW or effects chain.
In addition to audio, the Cicada Soundboard has four force sensitive resistors (FSRs) located beneath the four corners of the unit. When the soundboard material is compressed, the FSRs transmit CV voltages (0 to 5V+) from each of the four FSRs.
Unique Components
Cicada is an expandable modular system comprised of five primary components: AMP, PRE, Actuator, Bridge, Soundboard.
Amplifiers
2 x 15W Class A Amplifiers (LM1875T) with DC offset on amplifier one.
Inputs
Two 3.5 mm mono audio inputs accepting Eurorack-level audio signals at 10V pp, one 3.5 mm CV input to control DC Offset 10V pp, (-5V to 5V range). Note: line-level inputs must amplified.
Outputs
One 3.5 mm unbalanced mono audio output. Four 3.5 mm CV outputs from the Soundboard FSRs (0 to +5V).

Panic Girl Makes Noise: Layered Buffers
video by MAKEN0ISE
"In this video, guest host Panic Girl shows how she uses various audio loopers and repeaters, including Morphagene and Mimeophon, as the foundation for a piece of music.
Panic Girl's new album, Blue, will be released on May 5. Preorder it here: https://iuwerecords.bandcamp.com/albu..."

“Roland SH-5 Drones 03” by Friendly Noise
video by Friendly Noise
"Some drones with the Roland SH-5. The dual filter with that incredible sound and the powerful mixer with multiple destinations for each sound source are the key for drones.
The Hold knob is fully open in order to sustain the sound without keyboard retriggering.
A little reverb added in the DAW. Other than that, no sound processing. 100% SH-5."

"VERY old , box is worn but has not been used. I do not know if it works-I prefer not to open the box. The box is worn due to age."
I never really thought about it, but it kind of looks like a mini original Novation Bass Station with the blue on black accents.
