Revenge of the Moog on Bunny

Via Loscha:
"The latest Bunny features Moog schematics! A Rogue? Prodigy? I'm not up on my Moogery."

Neither am I. If you know feel free to comment. As always, click image for a larger shot.

My New Car Stereo

Anyone know how to add MIDI to the steering wheel?
Update: OK, this one was completely lost. This was my attempt at stupid synth humor. Imagine replacing your stereo and steering wheel with these, hooking up some taurus pedals as your gas, clutch and brake pedals and you'd be good to go. Cruisin and playin synths. Yeah... Sorry. : )

Two Yamaha DX7s for $125

No title link, just two shots of the Yamaha TX216 via this auction. These units always tripped me out. Each thin slot you see there is a TF1 which is a full DX7. You can up to 8 in the rack.

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. I don't think I've ever seen one this clean before.

Alesis A6 Andromeda

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Update via Mr. Array in the comments:
"They are still in production. They get produced in small runs and then sold off to their dealers.

As far as why there was no rack version, you can blame Numark for that. Alesis designed an Andromeda rack, as well as a 3-octave, 8 voice, "cocktail" version of the Andromeda. Numark killed both products when they acquired Alesis because the brain dead idiot who runs that company thought that they would only be able to sell a "few hundred" Andromedas.

Also, the custom chips made for the Andromeda are the only in-house technology which Alesis has not liscensed out to other companies. So they dont/didnt want to expand on the Andromeda product line, nor do they want anyone else to do anything with the technology either. Idiots."

Loscha.com

Loscha has contributed quite a few posts to this site. Every time he does I ask him if he has a site he'd like me to link his name to. Well, he hadn't until now. Title link takes you there. It's a simple site and a work in progress, but you will find some interesting bits. There is a link to his music, YBB or Yamaha Black Boxes which he formed and you might remember from this post, some stuff for sale, and links to other sites.

Some notes from Loscha:
"In the YBB page I have links to "Session III", the album recorded by the Yamaha R&D Studios in 1981 to send out to people to demonstrate the then new GS-1.

This album is supposed to be ridiculously rare. The only one other than this I've ever seen on sale was about $100us or something crazy on some guys website. It wasn't there a few weeks later, so, I guess he sold it. A friend got it for me as a present a while ago, cause I knew how muchI love the old FM technology. I didn't ask how much he paid, but, it was "more than one behringer pedal, and less than two". I've only seen a few scant references to it on the internet, so, this is somewhat of a major scoop, I think.

I've got some synth service manuals up on there, and a page of my own tracks from over the years. Trying to add more stuff when I get the time."
