Kitty Goes Modular

Yep... Shot below from Eric on AH. And then there's KatFish via Jason Proctor.



Update: Another cat shot from Justin Maxwell. What's interesting is that it always seems to be cats in synth shots. Never dogs, never birds, never rodents, never fish. What's with synth people being into cats? I'm into cats as well. So...

Update via the comments. Thought this was pretty funny.

"That's because dogs would be sitting on the floor, looking at you, going "I wuv woo, I wuv woo.."

Cats would be climbing up onto your gear going "For goodness sake, that's not how you patch a modular synth. Here, connect the OSC1 sync here and...

Bloody humans, think they're great at everything... Now where's my dinner?" "

ARP 2600 Grey Mini Shots

Title link takes you to shots put up by Cary Roberts. Click on one to get to its photo album.



"I'm in the process of refurbing my early model grey face ARP 2600. Most
folks would call this a gray meanie as it has all first rev boards and
all op amps are octal not DIP. It does not have a 4410 ADSR. The ADSR
in the unit is labeled "Board 4-1" and is a good bit larger than a 4410.
Board 4 also has odd header locations for the 4019 VCA so several of the
legs on 4019 are bent to make it work. This was fixed in the next rev
of the board.

I'm replacing all the jacks with new Switchcraft 142As and disassembling
and refurbing all the pots. Also, contrary to popular belief, the Cinch
Jones S-306-DB keyboard connector is still manufactured although it's a
couple week lead time from most distributors. In a pinch you can take a
standard S-306 socket and replace the defective socket in the S-306-DB
metal bracket.

While perusing the pics note the silk screened trimmer functions and
jack normalling symbols not present on later units.

Audio Damage 914 Fixed Filter Bank Now Available

Title link takes you there. Samples on site.



The Audio Damage 914 Fixed Filter Bank is a faithful recreation of the Moog Modular Synthesizer's 914 module, and a major upgrade to our original 907A plugin. This plugin creates unique filter textures by passing the signal through twelve band-pass filters, as well as a low-pass and high-pass filter.

The 914 is a subtle effect, capable of adding rich luster to pads, and giving percussive and lead synth sounds a vocal quality. It is an excellent tool for the sound designer's palette, simple to use yet capable of complex and unique timbres. Improvements over the original 907A include a bandwidth control, separate level adjustments for wet and dry signal, makeup gain, and four extra frequency bands.

Features:
» 24db Low-pass and high-pass filters.

» Twelve fixed-frequency band-pass filters.

» True stereo operation.

» Separate wet and dry level controls.

» 15dB of makeup gain on the wet level.

» Full MIDI learn mode, for MIDI CC control of every control (VST only; handled by host in AU version).

914 is available as a VST effect for Windows, and as a Universal Binary AU/VST for OSX. PPC version requires OSX 10.3.9 or later.

Roland SH32 Sample

Title link takes you to a 1.5M sample of the Roland SH32 posted by natrixgli on this VSE thread. And interesting note on the post is that although the onboard filter knob steps, the filter does not using an ouboard controller. I still want one of these for some reason.
