Impact of EU Ban of Leaded Solder and the Sequentix P3
Remember the EU Ban of Leaded Solder? Apparently this may have a greater impact than we anticipated. Not only will it impact vinatage gear, but new botique manufactures may find it too expensive to continue with planned projects. Case in point, the Sequentix P3 being phased out. Title link takes you to a post on sequencer.de, with comments from Sequentix. The following are excerpts. The good news? There will be a new sequencer from Sequentix as alluded to in my previous post.
"The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive becomes law in the UK next year. This directive makes manufacturers responsible for ensuring electronic equipment is recycled at the end of its life. While that is not a bad idea, the proposed UK implementation will require manufacturers to join a ‘disposal scheme’. They will pay into the scheme some amount related to the amount of product they sell. Where this may become a problem is if there is a high minimum level of payment required. That could make low-volume production uneconomical."
"One thing that won't feature on the next sequencer will be the name "P4". Google on P3 and you get 60 million irrelevant pages. For P4 that rises to nearer 90 million. Whereas if you Google on Sequentix, the vast majority of hits refer to the P3 Sequencer. We'll need to come up with a more distinctive name..."

Wendy Carlos on Bob Moog
Portrait by none other than the woman who possibly started it all, Wendy Carlos. Note, I put up this image back on Bob's birthday. At the time I either completely missed Wendy's notes on Bob or it wasn't up at the time. If I missed it, I sincerely apologize for that. Title link takes you there."Bob and I were friends for about 41 years. That sounds incomprehensible now, but there you are. We met when I accidentally woke him up. He was taking a much needed nap on a banquette on the Mezzanine of the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel, in NYC. The Moog Company had setup an exhibit at one of the yearly AES conferences (the Audio Engineering Society was a LOT smaller back then, and more informal -- even the tech papers were free and handy, open to anyone attending the exhibits)."

Mr Modern listens to stereophonic sound
flickr by Dr. Bleep. Title link takes you to one more.Bleep Labs Thingamagoop, thingama. Funny, I didn't realize individually these were called thingamas (according to the Thingamagoop site).
Note on Flickr shots: I will be doing away with the "New Flickr Shot" in the title moving forward. I originally did this for two reasons. One, I was posting every single new Flickr shot that was tagged with "synth" before, so literally that's what they were. Two, I used to not include "flickr by" in the contents of the post, so I used Flickr in the title to quickly search for Flickr shots.
Also note for the titles of the posts, I do a straight copy and paste of the title in the Flickr shot, so if you see typos, mismatched letter case, etc, it's not me. That is how it was titled. The only time I will rename a shot is if wasn't titled or it just has a digital reference number like DSC_0243213.

The Original Post Sunday Morning was for "Church selling organs and old telephone boxes" . Included in the equipment were numerous Buchla boxes (modular synth gear). The Church people were misinformed and told it was worthless, and a friend of theirs is disposing of it in a dumpster behind his supermarket. The ad had no contact information so I only received the included email this morning stating that the boxes were going to be thrown away in the "large bin" behind Mr. Chung's supermarket.
I called looking for Baptist Chuches that were closing, and other places, but I only know that this is somewhere in Los Angeles...so now I post for any help in finding these boxes before it's too late.
please let me know your thoughts and/or informations asap
Thank You So Much

...and the email with a few clues, also PJ is somehow related to a Rev. Devon if that helps any...
Oh my! I forgot to put our phone number or website. Well, I am so sorry
about that. I was wondering why nobody called. I just checked my email today.
Sorry to say that all the items have all been sold. I owe an apology for those that emailed me. With all the moving and cleaning, I must have rushed through the ad. I guess I should let you know that they went to good homes. The Elka Synthex was purchased by the local community center so that the elementary street kids can learn to play organ after school. The Yamaha DX-1 was sold to the senior center. As for the telephone boxes, I asked the phone company gentlmen that came to disconnect our phone and he pointed out that they were not telephone boxes. He noticed that there were a lot numbers in the cases something from 100s up to like almost 200. There were over 80 of these Bulcha things. He said they were outdated lab equipment for some kind of testing and useless. So we called the trash company pick-up but they would not take electronic equipment. So a friend of ours, Mr Chung left them in back of his supermarket and said he would throw them in his large bin for us. Again, I apologize for not putting all the info. We are leaving today for Texas. Have a very nice day! I won't be using this email anymore since my new one will be from the new church.
God Bless you all and a safe trip to us!

Tangerine Dream Live Set
Three more exclusive shots sent in by Frederic."It's the synths of Froese, Franke and Haslinger after their concert"
No title link. Click each for a bigger shot.
Update: Make sure to check out the comments for some more shots and debate on whether this was actually 1981 or 1986.
The Gizmotron
Thought I put up a post on this already, but apparently I only mentioned it here. Note this is from Peter Grenader of Plan B."Simply put, once the Gizmotron is installed, the center position will become null (no VC), clockwise from there will process your VC positively (like a 'normal' VC attenuator), and counter-clockwise from center will process your VC negatively (inverted), much like most of the VC processing on Buchla and Serge systems and some on Modcan."

Analog Industries Taking Feedback for Next Product
Just in case you missed it, title link takes you to a post on Analog Industries where Chris Randall is taking feedback on their next product. Here's your chance to ask for what you want. On my list? An uber analog style multitrack sequencer that'l let me control my hardware synths via a tablet PC. Think the Sequentix P3 and MiniMusic BeatPad on steroids. Imagine a virutal that you can map to your midi controller of choice or just use your tablet.
