Novation KS4 and EMU MP-7.

Funny, I almost thought the EMU was some sort of painting when I first saw this shot.

I love how the colors match in this shot.

Acidlab Bombass


I knew about the Acidlab Bassline for a while now, but I didn't realize they also had another product called the Bombass. Via xonox:

"It is named Bombass. It is a monosynth table top module as you can see on the picture. The bombass is quite quirky and can sound very acid too. It is quite flexible thanks to ring mod or sync between the 2 oscillators. The lfos have some weird waveforms, which helps getting some squishy sounds. It all depends on how you use it. It is one of the few monosynths i know with an accent input. The bombass does not have midi, it is cv/gate only."

I checked the Acidlab site (title link) and couldn't find any info on the Bombass, however there are some samples on the Klang page.

Update: Some info and another shot sent in via an anonymous reader.

"owners of the boombass can be happy, coz only 10 of them were made and it seems that no further batch is planned (8 are around, 1 belongs to me and 1 belongs to klaus). that is the reason why there is no info on acidlab.de.

the boombass is in principle a pimped bassline with a additional 2nd osc, filter-fm, a pitch envelope (sweep) and a lfo with individual routing to vco and vcf.

the lfo is very, very fast and could be reseted by gate in. also the lfo folows the contol voltage, so the filter or the osc can be "fm-ed" in tune. the lfo has 6 waveforms: triangle, square, "stepped-ramp" up and down, random, s/h.

the vco can be switched to 6 operating modes: single osc saw, single osc square, 50/50 mix square, sync, ringmod, external in (off). white noise can always be mixed to the signal."

Plexi Modular Case

Two shots of a clear Plexi modular case. That's Adam installing some modules. Nice. Shots via the Plan B Yahoo Group.

More on Plan B here.
Update via Adam in the comments: "Thanks to Sean Price for designing this cabinet, I think he should go into business with these..."

Indeed.

Trans X - Living on a Video on YouTube



Wow. I totally forgot about this song. I used to love the synth hooks. Also love the "integrated circuits" bit through a vocoder. Some nice air keyboards in the performance for you as well as a funky robot dance. : ) I can't make out what looks like a modular in the backgroud. If you know what it is, feel free to comment.

Here's the video for Living on Video with a Roland SH-101 and retro computers. Man this brings me back to clubbing in the 80s. And no the clubs were not that cheesy. They always made the alternative scene look moronic on tv and video back then.

Korg VCF

Trip. Never seen one of these before. Title link takes you to a new info page on the Korg VCF on sequencer.de. Note how the controls look similar to the Minikorg 700s.
