Open Source Korg Oasys

Synthosium has an intersting post up. Someone actually had the cajones to start installing stuff on his $8k Korg Oasys. Intwesting... If you think about it, for $8k, why shouldn't you be able to use the Oasys as an OpenLabs type system? Click here for the post.

Buchla and other Samples on Buzzclick Music

Peter Grenader of Buzzclick music posted a link on AH to some of his music including an all Buchla piece titled Eclipse. Each of his pieces has a great story behind them. Download a track, put it on and read. Not a bad way to spend some of that leisure time during the holidays...

BTW, make sure to track back to http://www.buzzclick-music.com/ for the rest of his site.

the very first magazine interviews with Devo ~ever~ way back in the
summer of 1978.

Other features in this issue include interviews with Don Preston, and Cameron Jones of Synclavier.

Also read more on Guitar Synthesis, Electronic Music Notation,
Laser Sculptures, and a review of some newfangled polyphonic keyboard
called The Sequential Circuits Prophet! Wow!

Hoppy New Year to Every Bunny!"

Oh, I have a Bunny for you: Sparkle.

SCI Programmer

Moogulator has a post up on the SCI Programmer pictured below. Apparently you can use it to store "patches" on a modular which I guess would mean storing control voltages as you tweak? Interesting. Title link takes you to his post which includes a shot where you can see it hooked up to a modular. If anyone has more info on this piece, feel free to share. BTW, makes sure to check out Moogulator's SCI page for even more oddities from SCI. And as usual, track back to the root of his site for more synth goodness. His site is really coming along in a big, big way.
