I blogged about this clip in April, but I have to put it up again, since Christmas is here in less than two months. Can't you feel the Christmas spirit in this one? Daddy plays the organ, and his three little robots beeps Silent Night. It's cute and creepy at the same time!

Great game

Ever since I played the game The Chaos Engine on my Amiga 600, I've had a fondness for steampunk. I think its way cooler than the ordinary cyberpunk. Which makes me wonder if there are any cyberpunkers left, I haven't seen any in a good while, and the ones I saw then looked ridiculous.

That's why I was thrilled to see that Musicradar had a special on steampunk modded synthesizers. Everything from a Casio SK-1 to modded modular monsters. Check it out, and be blown away. By the steam. duh... bad joke.

The Youtuber Synthasy2000, a great source of synth clips, brings us this clip from the BBC Programme Tomorrow's World. It is a presentation of the Moog Modular. Enjoy!

Now you can get Justin Roberts soft synth Mothman 1966 for free!

"This new Mothman synth is a pretty simple little gem. But don't let it's simplicity fool you. It is a two oscillator, two LFO synth that uses standard subtractive synthesis.  What sets it apart is the three custom waveforms in the the two oscillators. One is a "diamond wave" which was created using FM synthesis and the waveform image resembles a diamond. Two is an 8 bit saw wave, its an awesome buzzy and gritty saw wave. Three is a woodwind wave, used to create cool sounding flutes and other wood instruments. The LFOs can be routed to either of the VCFs or VCAs. Some patches sound rather Juno 106 sounding. Over all it is gritty yet warm, and vintage sounding."
