My Little Soundbomb

"Soundbombs are New-Media-Accessories. Each one a lowtech object for interactive transmission. An integrated soundmodul makes it possible to record any given sound and then activate it through a motiondetector. As a Non-Visual Graffiti, with its origin in streetart, Soundbombs give the possibility to tag a place in an accoustic form: a welcoming greeting at the entrance or a warning of a bad restaurant. Each owner can leave a personal message anywhere and at any time. Soundbombs can whistle, laugh, belch or recite a poem."

Yep, I could have some fun with this.

Moog Synthesizer Commercial on YouTube



Note this is not a commercial from Moog Music but a project from an enthusiast. YouTube via themedusas: "This is a project I did for my Motion Design 2 class. The concept behind this was to magnify the culture and kinship of owning a Moog Synthesizer. Since the 70's, musicians have been building and customizing their own Moogs. So I wanted to reflect that sort of attachment that owners have with them, and in the process, bring the history and culture of owning a Moog into the new millenium as well."

Crackle Box on Sendling

Title link takes you to some nice Crackle Box shots on Sendling. This one reminds of the Peruvian made Zebranologic.

Boele Gerkes SCD

Title link takes you to Boele Gerkes' homepage where you will find a wealth of synth shots, info and some incredible music.

A bit of trivia: Boele is one of the first people I met online back in 1996 or shortly after. Realize this was right after Windows 95 came out and the Internet was just beginning to boom. Sonic State, registered in 1995, was the place to hang out (VSE came in 1999). As a side note, my old Matrixsynth.com was registered in 1997. I beat VSE! I also remember Boele from the Waldorf list back then. I liked his music so much I bought a number of his CDs. SCD was the first completely independent music I have purchased online. And believe me, it had to be really, really good for me to take that first step, at that point in time.

Korg MS20 Filter - KORG35


A few links cropped up on AH today regarding the Korg MS20 filter:

MS20study.pdf (2.25M) by Tim Stinchcombe. Tim actually spent quite a bit of time studying the Korg MS10/MS20 filters and just made this 46 page pdf available on the list today.

RMC posted a link to his contribution - pdfs and gifs of the schematic and trace. I noticed that RMC referred to the filter as the KORG35. I never realized this is what it was called, so I did a quick search on KORG35 and found this site which has more info, links and a DIY clone with details and images.

My favorite Korg MS20 Clone? The Frostwave Resonator (pictured). I picked it up years ago and will never get rid of it. It just shreds for lack of a better description. It's the aural equivalent of finding that sweet spot in your ear with a good q-tip. It will shred paint off your walls. Super aggressive with a bit of resonance. Highly, highly recommended.

I should also mention the MOTM-420 and the Doepfer A-106 Xtreme Filter. I'm sure there are others. If you know them, feel free to post them.

Update: Make sure to check out the comments for others. The following was sent to me via email from Tim: "I compiled a list of known clones a while back, and this has been on it for some time. Mind you I only recently discovered that a discrete version of the Korg35 is to be seen in the Korg X-911 guitar synth (which I've not checked in any detail yet), and someone from synth DIY has just pointed out that it was probably originally developed for use in the 'PS' range of polysynths, so it looks like there is yet another avenue for me to tap into!"

Udpate via Noiseconformist in the comments:
"Hi, this is just to inform you that Tim got his new site up and running.
So the MS-20 document can be found here: http://www.timstinchcombe.co.uk/synth/MS20_study.pdf HTH, Michael (a.k.a Noiseconformist)"

Paul Sop Studio Shots

Paul Sop sent me some links to knew shots of his studio. Title link takes you to the complete set. When you get there, click the images for super size shots. Paul tells me the Buchla ML Lumina is being shipped today, so he is officially Buchla-less. Well, you could always get the MalletKat. : )

Dana Countryman - New Flickr Shot

Shot of Dana Countryman from the

A little trivia: Note Dana's keyboards changed. When I saw them in Seattle, he had a Yamaha DX7 as the main synth. In San Francisco you can see the Yamaha DX7 was replaced with a Roland Jupiter (I'm guessing the 6) and a Nord G2 as the synthesizers.com modular controller (not sure what he had in Seattle, but I didn't see red). In this shot he also has the G2. BTW, I'm not sure if this shot is from the San Francisco or LA shows.

Update via Brian in the comments:
"I went to the LA show. Jean Jacques had his Ondioline, but there was no Moog Modular. The keyboards I saw were:

* Moog Voyager Blue
* DSI Poly Evolver
* Nord Electro 2
* Korg MS2000"
