My girlfriend's sister created this synth cake for my birthday. Modeled loosely off the Yamaha DX7 (which I have but she didn't know that I had), and using marble cake batter, Kit Kats for the black keys, Jolly Ranchers, and some licorice decorations here and there.

Meggy Synth is a sketch I wrote that allows the Meggy Jr to act as a simple step-based synthesizer for writing 8 bit music.
The sketch allows you to write music over a three octave range using anything from whole notes to thirty-second notes with optional slurs between notes. This video shows me writing a scale in pitch mode, switching to duration mode to set the length of the notes, then playing the song back in both pitch and duration view so you can see how the modes work together.

Style Productions (1982)
Excellent compilation of electronic/synth artists from 1982. Features artists like Magnétique Bleu, Norma Loy, DZ Lectric, Die Form, and Étant Donnés. Very rare!!
Initial copies came with the Style Productions No.2 fanzine. When I took this picture, I did not have the fanzine, but as of (7/28/10) I was able to obtain a copy of it when I bought a copy of the Magnétique Bleu - Virgin Boy / Nuit 7" from a French seller.
It's a very cool fanzine with some interesting artworks, photos and writings relating to Magnétique Bleu, DZ Lectric, Norma Loy etc.
In the fanzine, the Les Electriques compilation is referenced as Style Productions No.3.

Durant les cinq dernières années de guerre en Syrie, il a été estimé que plus de 220000 personnes ont été tuées et environ 12 millions de réfugiés ont un besoin urgent d’assistance humanitaire. Certains sont encore dans le pays et d’autres se sont enfuis au delà des frontières. La pire crise humanitaire contemporaine selon certaines organisations. Nous avons décidé d’organiser une série de concerts bénéfices pour prendre conscience et aider les réfugiés syriens.
Nous nous rassemblons aussi pour reconnaître que le militarisme n’est pas la solution et que les bombardements occidentaux n’arrêteront pas le conflit. Le Canada doit non seulement arrêterles bombardements en Syrie et en Iraq, mais aussi dénoncer le fait de consacrer des ressources financières majeures à la continuation de la militarisation du conflit, ce qui inclut l’envoi de conseillers militaires. Comme l’histoire nous l’a déjà montré, du Vietnam à l’Iraq, bombarder les gens ne les sauve pas.
Tout les fonds reçus au concert de ce soir seront donnés directement à un activiste éprouvé sur le terrain, à Beyrouth, au Liban. cet activiste est un allié et un ami du collectif Montréalais Tadamon ! (tadamon.ca/). Les fonds de solidarité seront utilisés pour acheter des fournitures hivernales (couvertures/vêtements chaud) qui seront directement distribuées aux communautés de refugiées Syrienne proche de la région de Baalbek au Liban située dans la vallée de Beqaa proche de la frontière syrienne. Les réfugiés les plus économiquement marginalisés se sont installés dans cette région car voyager dans des centres urbains come Beyrouth est dispendieux. Les organisateurs et supporteurs de ce concert ont déjà eu l’expérience d’amener de l’aide directe spécifiquement à ces communautés syriennes avec cet activiste en particulier à Beyrouth. Ceci étant dit, il y a déjà un processus d’établit. Merci d’avance pour votre support et solidarité.

Since the beginning of the war, which started 5 years ago in Syria, it has been estimated that 220 000 people were killed and more than 12-million refugees are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, whether they still remain in the country or have escaped across the borders. Some organizations have called it the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, so we have decided to start a series of events to bring awareness and aid to help.
We gather here also to recognize that militarism isn’t the solution and that western military bombs will not stop the conflict. Canada must not only stop sending bombs to Syria and Iraq, but also speak out against the lending of major financial resources to the continued militarization of the conflict, this includes sending military advisers, as we have learned from history, from Vietnam to Iraq, bombing people will not save them.
All funds raised at this concert will go directly to a trusted activist in Beirut, Lebanon, who is an ally and friend to the Tadamon! collective (tadamon.ca/) in Montréal. The solidarity funds will buy winter supplies (blankets / warm clothes) and will be distributed directly to the Syrian refugee communities close to Baalbek, Lebanon located in the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian border. this is where some of the most economically marginalized refugees have settled because traveling to bigger urban centers like Beirut is expensive. The organizers and supporters of this concert have had prior experience in organizing similar direct aid efforts for these specific Syrian communities with this specific activist in Beirut, therefore there is an established process. Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity!
bios :
Roozbeh Tabandeh is an Iranian musician, Born in 1980 in Shiraz. He is mostly known as a violinist and Santur player and also a composer. He is studying composition at Concordia University right now. Before that, He studied composition and performance with some of the most famous Iranian musicians.
He conducted “Hengam Orchestra” in Shiraz for near 10 years. Later he cofounded the “Hengam string quartet” and had lots of performances in different cities in Iran. Some of his compositions for string orchestra, has been performed by IRAN string orchestra with professor Manouchehr Sahbai as the conductor. Professor Sahbai was the former conductor of Tehran Symphony Orchestra and one of the most prestigious Iranian conductors. The same pieces has been recorded and published under the title of “Timeless Moments” album in Iran. Some excerpts of the album is available on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/user-785112939
Recently, he cofounded the NAVA quartet in Montreal, and tried to combine the Iranian music with some classical and jazz music elements. In NAVA quartet he performs Santur with three other instruments including Viola, Clarinet and Contrabass. Nava quartet will have other performances in future which can be followed on Facebook: www.facebook.com/navaquartet/
jérémi roy : depuis 2005, Jérémi est actif professionnellement dans le domaine de la composition et de la performance musicale. ayant dirigé ses propres ensembles et accompagné bon nombres d'artistes et groupes, il a su extraire le psychédélisme des musiques populaires occidentales autant que la transe des musiques traditionnelles de l’Orient et du Maghreb. ses deux stages en musique turque (2010 et 2012) à İstanbul l’ont amené à adopter un système de composition modal non-tempéré, le tout accompagné d’une habitude de son enfance d’utiliser des bandes magnétiques et magnétophones comme moteurs du hasard contrôlé. or, son travail solo se veut une synthèse de ces éléments et a été présenté en mai 2015 au festival RE:FLUX à Moncton et dans le cadre d'évènement ponctuels Howl! Arts à Montréal en 2014 et 2015.
In a desperate attempt to keep Structure synth alive I pulled all kind of stuff together to create a scene.
The house is my creation but the trees, the people and the antennas are copied and adapted from flickr groups and the git hub pages.
When I was up at Random Hacks of Kindness there was an interesting cacophony of noise coming through the walls. I wandered around to find out what it was, and stumbled upon the Annual Analog Synthesizer Meeting.
It's a group of audiophiles who use only analog circuits to make music. They generally hand solder their systems, though you can get kits.
The systems produce sound like this:
soundcloud.com/badr0b0t/maths-module
(listen to it about halfway through, it starts off slow)

This will be my first bit of hardware programming writing code with C. I haven't finished the patching system yet (will do a video when I have) but thought I'd stick a picture up as the enclosure is more or less done, the prototype program made it's first sounds, tap tempo works etc.
The filter on my monotron didn't track the keyboard properly, causing low notes to have a different timbre than high notes. I solved the problem by removing R42 (normally 300KΩ) and replacing it with a 1MΩ trimmer potentiometer.
