MATRIXSYNTH

Metal Banjo

Click here for a 5.1M mp3, featuring nothing but the Buchla 200e by Matt. I asked Matt if I could put it up along with a mirror, and he gave the all clear. I thought the title was kind of funny because nearly every time I put up a 200e sample, a certain someone comments on how it sounds like a banjo. Apparently Matt named this track because he read the comments too. Too funny. : ) Enjoy the track.

Matt's "la belle aurore" featuring more Buchla - really good stuff.

Korg ER-1 Disk?

Check out these two shots pulled via this auction. Look at the disk. Mine didn't come with one. Apparently it has a copy of the owner's manual.

JSH Pro Rhythm Mini Synth

No title link. Just two shots pulled via this auction.

Anyone know more about these?

Update via RyBread in the comments:
"They're a percussion synth that was marketed for actual drummers. the mounts allowed it to be mounted to a drum stand for live use. The Schemo can be found at [link].

I've been trying to find the time to build one for more than a year now."

DK Synergy

I just put this one up on MATRIXSYNTH-B, and decided to put it up here as well, as you just don't see these come up often. The DK Synergy is 100% digital, but the one I played sounded very warm - very nice.

This one being sold by 123synthland.

Doug Curtis Obit

And it's confirmed...

"Douglas Curtis

Passed gently from this world on January 10 following a five month battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, and mourned by extended family including two sisters, two nephews and a niece.
Doug is known to the music industry as the founder of Curtis Electromusic Specialties where he developed twenty signal-processing products for electronic music synthesizers and audio equipment. He holds three patents for various elements of his signal processing methodology. Several more patents in his name are assigned for chips designed into various commercial products.
When the advent of digital technology and software changed the electronic music industry, Doug broadened his focus beyond synthesizers forming OnChip Systems. He was recently inducted in to the San Jose Rocks Hall of Fame.
Doug was known for his intelligence, love of family and nature, and his steadfastness. A funeral mass will be held at St. Mary's Church in Los Gatos. Donations in his honor may be directed to PANCAN."
