Hey all,

found this site in my travels:

http://uv201.com/Mis...synthesizer.htm



A brief historical overview of the famous RCA synthesizer that lived at Princeton University in the 1950's.

But the great thing is it contains 8 mp3's, transferred from vinyl, all 8 sides of a 4-record set of 7" 45's RCA made explaining the synthesizer, the fundamentals of synthesis and musical examples.

Side 1: The Synthesis of Music-The Physical Characteristics of Musical Sounds (7:13, 3.3 mb)
Side 2: The Synthesis of Music-Synthesis by Parts (Part 1) (5:55, 2.7 mb)
Side 3: The Synthesis of Music-Synthesis by Parts (Part 2) (4:37, 2.1 mb)
Side 4: Excerpts from Musical Selections (Part 1) (6:05, 2.8 mb)
Side 5: Excerpts from Musical Selections (Part 2) (3:28, 1.6 mb)
Side 6: Complete Selections-Bach Fugue No. 2, Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 1 (4:47, 2.2 mb)
Side 7: Complete Selections-Oh Holy Night (Adam), Home Sweet Home (Bishop) (6:42, 3.1 mb)
Side 8: Complete Selections-Stephen Foster Medley, Nola (Arndt), Blue Skies (Berlin) (7:49, 3.6 mb)

A preview of side 1 - note the AWESOME voiceover guy

Inspired by dylab's contribution of the Fairlight sounds, thought I'd move this similar thread into the synths section.

Buried in the mp3's are some golden vintage sounds and potential spoken-word samplorage

The narrator does have a pretty awesome voice
