Andy Wig - Do you Heal, Immersion?

"Presented here is a transformation of the EML 400 sequence used in the previous video, but this time decimated by two Folktek devices, the Drumscape and the Subharmonic Field. It may be a kind of spontaneous disfigurement, but it seems to work."

Andy Wig - Immersion, Fragment

"A bit of sound/imagery left over from "Do You Heal, Immersion?" This was then re-recorded to degrade the sound and to further abstract the imagery. Charming."

Atari 2600 Synthcart

via this auction

"Atari 2600 with Synthcart synthesizer cartridge, two keyboard controllers, 1/4" audio out and Highly Liquid MIDI aftermarket module! I purchased the Atari 2600 and MIDI module separately, had it installed by a licensed tech here in town. All the blippy, buzzy video game 8bit sounds are all here and controllable by MIDI. This is not software - this is the real thing and the difference is inarguably significant. Great for live performance as well."

Steiner Synthasystem in Eurorack?

If you recall from this post, Analogue Realities announced the Steiner Synthasystem schematics would be made available. In Analogue Realities' latest post, it looks like plans for Eurorack format modules will be made available.

"It occurred to me that I really need to consider this project not as a "one-off" system for me. With Nyle's encouragement to share and release this stuff, I realized (finally...) I need to take a more universal approach to the PCB/panel designs and consider those who are going to stuff just one or two of the modules into an existing Doepfer rack or something. I've been looking at the Doepfer racks and they can be as shallow as 80mm in front of the power supply itself. It looks like the general minimum is about 100mm and I think most modules will fit this form factor. The sequencer as it stands now may be a problem, but since the panel will be so wide, I can rethink it and make it wider, but shallower."
