Create Digital Music

Looks like I made Create Digital Music. Click through and search for matrixsynth. My posts on Waldorf Resources, Sequentix Hardware Sequencers, and the Simons SDS6 made it. Very cool. Thanks Create Digital Music! : )

Russian Vintage Analog Synths

Vintage Synth Explorer has a post on some Russian Synths for sale. The following two sites have a ton on information on Russian vintage synths including the popular Polivoks pictured below and the Altair-231 three OSC monosynth described as the Russian Minimoog. It's fascinating as you don't often see discussion of them on the synth boards or lists.

Two great sites on Vintage Analog Russian Synths:

• Russkeys
• Geocities Russian Vintage Synthesizers

Polyvoks from Geocities Russian Vintage Synthesizers:

List of Musical Instrument Museums

Click here for a list of Musical Instrument Museums. Some have synths. Saving this one for when I'm in the mood to browse around. I found the two gems in my post below off of the list. Now I need to learn Greek.

Goth vs. Industrial

Not really synth, but I found these beauties on the Metropolitan Museum of Art website . Both are pianos. Click through for more. Man, I need a bigger studio.

You pick. I personally was into both at one time or another, so... ; )

Update: a bit Steampunk as well.

Minimoog Voyager Reveiw

An oldie but a goodie. If you haven't checked out the Sound on Sound review of the Minimoog Voyager. Check it out. The reason I posted this is because the whole Voyager vs. original Minimoog cropped it's ugly head again. This review claims the argument is absurd and the Voyager is everything a Minimoog is and more. It also calls out an interesting point in that many original Minimoogs can sound different from each other. I've heard this numerous times before. The point is, if Minimoogs sound subtly different from each other than the base line of comparison is more of a blanket than a fine point. The Voyager is a Minimoog. Bob said so. : )

Korg LE - New Flickr Shot

Korg LE shot in via Flickr. Caption reads "My Korg, introducing Kilroy." I love that. Reminds me of Mr. Robato, in a good way. Very, very cool.
