AKAI AX60 - Routing S612 Sampler Through The AX60
YouTube Uploaded by radlers on Jan 29, 2012
"AKAI AX60's can be connected to S612/900 samplers so that the samples become a waveform or oscillator on the synthesizer. These get routed through the keyboard's filters. It really expands the capabilities of both machines when used together. A brief demo showing this combination."

"Ombra Mai Fu" made on smartphones - by DigiEnsemble Berlin featuring Anna Gütter
"Uploaded by DigiEnsemble on Jan 30, 2012
Professional musicians try out how to make music using new technologies.
(Informationen auf deutsch unter http://digiensemble.de/ombra)
This video shows a performance of the famous aria "Ombra Mai Fu" in an experimental version accompanied on smartphones and tablets. The musicians´s aim is to try out how to make joint music on smartphones.
The sound you hear is all played live by the musicians and their smartphones. In this case we are playing on the app-instrument "thumbjam" for iPod touch and iPad. [iTunes link] By lifting and lowering the devices tone and volume can be modulated. In this way an expressive play can arise.
However, the DigiEnsemble Berlin plays more than classical music, its musicians experiment with a wide range of genres, play
heavy metal, avantgarde or compose own pieces.

Homemade drum pads
YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Jan 30, 2012
"I have an idea for a drum interface to use with some of my homemade synthesizer modules. But to make that I need some drum pads. In this video I am therefore making a set of drum pads out of some wood (some of it is actually chipboard) and some old speakers.
The music is something I made in 2002. I used the Yamaha HE-8 organ, Roland CR-1000 drum machine, and JX-8P synthesizer."
Inside an Ultimate Sound.
Update:
YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Feb 6, 2012
"After making the drum pads I need to build some sort of interface that can convert the short electric pulses from the pads to an analog voltage that can control other musical devices.
The music is something I made back in 2003. I played it on Yamaha HE-8 and Viscount RBX-850 organs, Roland CR-1000 drum machine and JX-8P synthesizer."

Mantle Sound Core (live)
"Composed of tour footage from Mantle Sound Core's MG3998 West Coast Winter Tour 2011.
No post-production color filters used in the video. All footage was shot during the concerts and any visual effects, colors, lighting, seen in the music video here came from multiple live multimedia projections of A/V feeds from equipment including an NES system (Contra shown), "Holy Desert" an original feature film by Mantle Sound Core, and live camera feeds projected during the show. All of the gear was also run thru and manipulated with an LZX Visionary modular video synthesizer, and in addition to being projected was--when working correctly--broadcast to old boomboxes with built-in TVs which we set up around the venues. A traveling art-installation you might say. Enjoy.
facebook.com/MantleSoundCore
Mantle Sound Core is a solo electronica earth ambient noise act based out of San Francisco, CA. MSC shows involve analog drum machines+synthesizers and a multitude of vintage cassette blasters playing homemade tape collages, creating live soundtrack compositions to live video manipulations. The shows center around a screening of the feature length movie Holy Desert, a film produced and directed by MSC, shot in Death Valley in February 2011."

AngryOctopus Webitaur
Moog Minitaur inspired online synth at AngryOctopus.
"Once again the NAMM videos have inspired me to have a go at a web version of an analog synth. This time round it’s the awesome looking Moog Minitaur. As usual it is unlikely to sound anywhere near as good as the real thing but will give you some idea of the types of sounds it is capable of. The filter in this one sounds a bit better than my previous synths as a result of trying out some delay-less feedback techniques."

Farfisa Syntorchestra analog synthesizer - rare wooden version
"From the web (http://till-kopper.de/syntorchestra.html)
According to the very well done book "A-Z of Analogue Synthesisers" by Peter Forrest, this little thing was built from late 1975 till 1978. It was available in a metal stage and a more organ like wood housing version. Here you see the wooden version. It is built from chipboard covered by real veneer that looks like cherry wood to me. Only the vertical stripe above the keyboard action is real wood. The bottom plate is identically to the metal housing version. That is why one finds there some clips to attach the note book holder (made of a thick chrome covered thread) of the metal housing version there. The front and the housing left and right the keyboard are made of metal..."
