Gabriel Seher of Genoqs sent me this absolutely beautiful shot of the Genoqs Octopus. My new wallpaper, btw. Title link takes you to the main Genoqs site with updates - read: even more shots. The cream white Octopus on the front page has to be seen - it really is a work a work of art. It's great to see design like this. It accentuates the wonder and inspiration a tool like this can bring to your music. Absolute beauty.

Ok, where do I get me one of these. Check out the overlay. Via Machinesound. Title link takes you to the post with a link to the Eboard Museum in Viktring, Austria. Tons of gear shots worth checking out there. Man I want one of these because, you know... according to that cover, it "sounds like FUN!"

Interesting EMS Synthi page popped up on AH. Title link takes you there. Included are shots of an EMS VCS3 with silver knobs, Synthi 100 and info sheet (pictured below), Synthi demo record and sleeve, and an typed letter response to an order inquiry with a reference to Pink Floyd. Note the reference to the BBC in the sheet below. My guess is it's the Synthi 100 that made its way into the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop.

Title link takes you to a Casio SK site posted in the comments of my Brothers Separated at Birth post. Didn't realize how many different models were out there. The page has images, samples, info and of course circuit bending.
