Matrixsynth by Brian

Brian Comnes sent in a few shots including this Matrixsynth shot of a Technics WSA1. Title link takes you to the rest including a Redsound Elevata, Oberheim Matrix-6, and the Technics WSA1, all on Matrixsynth green felt. ; )

Thomas Henry's "Electronic Drum Cookbook"

"After a long wait and a lot of work, we're happy to announce that Thomas Henry's "Electronic Drum Cookbook" is now available at Magic Smoke Electronics! The Drum Cookbook contains 54 pages of information and 18 schematics detailing various percussion controllers, tone generators and modifiers. Some reference information and interweb links have also been updated in this new version. Available as a PDF file, the Drum Cookbook can be ordered for $US15 from www.magsmoke.com.

You can also find a sample chapter and other information on our website (including a very low cost trade-in program for owners of "dead tree" Drum Cookbooks)."

The Genoqs Octopus

I just love this shot via fdiskc's NAMM coverage. Brandon put up more shots today, so be sure to check them out.

Title link takes you to the full list, currently including the Korg M3, R3, Legacy Mono/Poly and the Roland VSynth GT.

Maudio Way Out Ware KickAxxe

"Built with Way Out Ware’s award-winning analog-modeling technology, the KikAxxe brings together a faithful emulation of the classic ARP Axxe synthesizer, analog-style 16-step sequencer, programmable drum machine and a tape delay effect. Modern conveniences include presets, MIDI sync and comprehensive MIDI-mapping capabilities. Compatible with RTAS, VST and AU hosts. Mac/PC."

Note this is via Way Out Ware, makers of the TimewARP 2600, so you know this is going to sound good as well.

M-AUDIO GForce Virtual String Machine

"The Virtual String Machine from GForce brings the evocative tones of over a dozen of the finest vintage string synthesizers to your personal studio—Freeman String Symphonizer, Eminent 310, ARP Omni II, ARP Quartet, Crumar Multiman, Polymoog, Elka Rhapsody, Korg PE2000, Logan String Melody, Eminent Solina, Roland RS202, Yamaha SS30 and more. Far more than a preset device, the Virtual String Machine lets you layer any two of the 60 Sample Sets and apply an intuitive synthesis engine to each—as well as add master vintage phaser/ensemble effects. The result is a truly authentic and highly versatile range of textures, perfect for just about every musical genre. Mac/PC stand-alone or host operation (RTAS, VST, AU)."

Note this is from GForce/Gmedia, the group behind the Oddity, Minimonsta, M-Tron and impOSCar. If it's from then, it's sure to sound good.

Customize Your Moog

Another shot of the green. This one via Sonic State. Title link takes you to the article with a very nice shot of red mod wheels. The red one is going to be nice as well.

"Since introducing the Electric Blue edition in 2004, Moog has received hundreds of requests to build customized Voyagers. Now those requests, once only fulfilled for a handful of artists, can be accommodated for anyone. Backlight options include: Electric Blue, Solar (orange), Lunar (white), Fire (red), and Jade (green). Cabinet styles are available in Electric Blue (black with fractal blue flecks), Traditional Ash, Mahogany, White Wash, Walnut, Cherry, Black Ash, and Maple. Any combination is available."
