I haven't been to the PPG site in a while. Title link takes you the Waveterm Library page containing direct conversions of the original Waveterm disks in WAV format. There is a link to download the complete archive or you can listen to them individually.

Carbon111 just belched a load of close-up synth shots on VSE and it looks like a bunch have followed. Title link takes you there. Enjoy. Make sure you are sitting down. : )

Affordable little analog drum machine by MFB. Some samples after the hop. Also make sure to check out the MFB Msuikelektronik list for more of their instruments, including the MFB-POLYLITE a four voice version of their MFB-SYNTH LITE II, but with no knobs? BTW, Novamusik used to sell MFB in the states, but I no longer see them on their site. If anyone knows how to get them in the US, please comment.

· 7 analogue instruments
· integrated 16 step sequencer
· 26 controls for Attack, Decay, Pitch and more
· Kick and Snare each programmable with two different pitches
· Tom programmable with three different pitches
· Memory locations for 72 rhythms and 8 songs

Click here for some amazing shots of Wendy Carlos.

"[Wendy] Carlos, musician and composer, is one of the great innovators in electronic and synthesized music. He is pictured here from a session in December, 1969. Carlos was the innovator behind 'Switched on Bach' and with Rachel Elkind they were composers on Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange', and 'The Shining'."
