AdrennaLinn – from his masters voice
AdrenaLinn Sync is a software plug-in from Roger Linn Design that provides the same unique beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects of our AdrenaLinn III guitar pedal, plus quite a bit more. Though intended for guitar, it adds fascinating rhythmic tonal effects to any instrument or processed audio. First released in October of 2009, we listened to your feedback and are now releasing AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2, a dramatic improvement over the original. And it’s free to all purchasers of the original version.
AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2 is written in conjunction with Way Out Ware, makers of TimeWArp2600 and KikAxxe, critically-acclaimed emulations of vintage Arp analog synthesizers. Version 2 is completely rewritten and takes advantage of Way Out Ware’s flawless analog-modeled filters and audio processing technology, resulting in a very wide variety of truly exciting, unique and inspiring sounds.
Here’s a video demonstrating the wide variety of sounds you can create with AdrenaLinn Sync v2:
Monotron sound mangling
The guys at musicradartv demonstrate sound mangling with the Korg Monotron.
A lot of people have dismissed the Korg Monotron as a noisemaking toy – but this video demonstrates some interesting uses for the cheap monophonic analog synthesizer.
Analog synths were once massive, temperamental monsters; but no more! The true analog monotron fits in your pocket and is ready to play – anytime, anyplace. Although small enough to hold in one hand, the amazing monotron delivers ginormous and dazzling sounds. Best of all, it’s a blast to play. The controls have been streamlined for ease of use. Concentrating on the most important sound parameters, the panel contains only five knobs and one switch. With this level of simplicity, now anyone can easily enjoy the world of analog synthesizers.
Product Highlights:
- Features the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20
- Filter any external source using the audio input jack
- Inspiring, easy-to-play ribbon keyboard
- Intuitive, fun-to-tweak controls
- Full-fledged, true analog synthesizer: VCO, VCF, LFO
- LFO can modulate either pitch of filter cutoff
- LFO Rate knob features cool LED visual indicator.
- Battery operation and palmtop size equals true portability
The A-100
Doepfer’s A-100 Analog Modular System brings back all the flexibility and old-school programming of vintage modular synthesis – but the A-100 is new and comes with some modern features. Just like the classic Moog, Arp, E-mu, Buchla, Serge, and Roland modular synthesizers of the sixties and seventies, the A-100 system is a true analog system, yet it’s only been in production since 1995. It features analog subtractive, additive, FM, wavetable sequencing, and vector synthesis methods. Pictured above is a behemoth system, actually four cases full of modules plus 3 MAQ16/3 sequencers, 3 MS-404‘s and a Shaltwerk sequencer…all linked into one massive analog beast!

“That’s definetly what i mostly like. Of course, nobody can’t listen this hypnotic meditative sound nonstop, even me, but in any way everbody may have an inner feeling for his audioactive base, which can’t become affected by time nor by mode. This is the art of sound sound of my soul.
The original track runs about 35 min. Unfortunately i need more time for creating the video than for the music, but creating a video is a step which can be done at all times. It’s like a job. Creating the sound / music is not possible at all times, it’s more as if i must be touched by the spirits. At first it needs time to create the patch. Sometimes i’m crazy lucky and the cable connections find their routes like patched by a ghost’s hand. The i’ve only to catch the right moment when my mind and fingertips are sensitive enough for the magic session. That can’t be forced !”
Music that will give you World War II vibes
Found this little clip that really give you that feeling of being stuck in a bunker or better yet down in a sub. The music is really telegraphic and VERY cool enjoy. Yah, and by the way when I was in SanDiego I did visit the old USS Midway – speaking on the theme of World War II, really awsome, enjoy!!

A friend of mine on facebook sent me this link today and I thought I just had to share with all of you.
It is really funny

Analog Synthesizer Tribute
Starting off the new week with a short tribute to analog synthesizers. Feel free to feast your eyes on this Moog close up or perhaps take an analog journey through this little link library of analog synth resources.

But first a little analog poen I found while surfing the web
What shreds your cones, makes wonderful drones, leaves digitoids in a fog?
What weighs a ton and is oodles of fun? It’s A– na– LOG! It’s Ana-LOG,
it’s Ana-LOG, it squashes your neighbor’s cat; It’s Ana-LOG, It’s Ana-LOG,
it’s better than thin, it’s FAT!
