Casio CZ-101 Tutorial Videos
This set of videos, via SynthManiaDotCom, offers a video review and tutorial for the classic Casio CZ-101.
While the CZ-101 is a minisynth, it can create some massive sounds, as these videos demonstrate.
via isopod: Brent talks about the mystery of self-programming synths – the fact that old batteries sometimes lead to synth patches that are actually pretty cool.
A lot of people take an Eno-esque view – that the quirky results can lead to something more interesting than you might program yourself, or at least provide an interesting starting point.
Many TB-303 owners find that they get interesting random sequences, too, when their batteries get old.
Have you ever had this happen with one of your synths? And do you think synths should come with a “Randomize Patch” button?

Filed under: Software Sequencers, Software Synthesizers & SamplersThis three-part Propellerhead Reason 4 tutorial looks at using Thor as a switchable filter.
via SirSedricMusic:
This is a quick look at using the Thor Polysonic Synthesizer as a Switchable Filter in Reason 4, using Combinator assignments.
To save time, I’m assuming you already know a thing or two about Reason;
1) You know how to create Combinators and assign Reason controls to hardware controls.
2) You know how to route devices within a Combinator.
3) You have a general understanding of the principles which drive Reason.
If you don’t know any of these things, do some searching. There are many great tutorials out there, and with a little patience you’re sure to find some to get you started. Try the PropellerheadsSW channel, they have some decent stuff to get you started.
In this particular tutorial I’m using a ReDrum as the audio source for simplicities sake. I’m just trying to give everyone a good idea of the concept behind this so we can cover some more interesting and fun stuff in parts 2 and 3.
My apologies in advance for the noisy audio, I had to record this using my built-in mic. Future tutorials will have better audio, I promise.
