Title link takes you to a post on Craigslist for the Moog Polymoog used in the Disneyland Electric Light Parade. Kind of interesting to me in that I grew up in Hollywood and used to go to Disneyland all the time. I remember pulling an all nighter there with all the goths during one of their special events (I looked the part, but I never was a goth!). : ) I actually had a black crow try to pick one of my hairs thinking it was branch. Another story for another time. I forget what the event was for, but I do remember passing out on a bench and having a great time. What's odd is I've probably heard this exact synth serveral times. This one via Brian Comnes. Thanks for the flashback Brian! : )

Two Notrons, a Serge and a Fenix Modular...
walk into a bar, and...
meet a couple o' little TB ladies. The Serge says, "see, hear, and feel the power of my wave (on top)" The Fenix says "I filter the crap out of your wave." The Notrons? "Shut up and dance, slaves. Mr. Tape recorder, start rollin."
Shot sent my way via mrcarp. Click on the shot for its full glory. Thanks Mr. Carp!

Ebay Synth Tracking Blog?
Title link takes you to a Circuit Bent Item tracker for Ebay set up by Circuit Master of GetLoFi. The cool thing about it is that it saves off the media (images and samples) to his server. These are then permanently accessible via the blog posts. I asked him how difficult it would be to set up a synth version. As expected it would not be difficult at all - he just finished a prototype. What do you think? Personally I think it's a great idea for a number of reasons. One it saves the most interesting bits for posterity, two it's kind of cool having a repository for everything synth on Ebay, and three it brings the items to you, making it easier to track what's coming up. On the bad side? Well, for those rare occasions where you might be lucky enough to be the only person to catch a good deal... Well those days would probably be over. The tool would post any item with the word "synth" on Ebay. Please feel free to post your comments. Great idea, sucks, or who cares... Sorry Doktor Future. : )
EML Poly-Box Samples and the SynthCluster
Click here for a couple of samples of the EML Poly-Box by George Mattson. Check out his monster setup (click the image for a much bigger shot). That is one massive EML Sequencer. You can see the orange EML Poly-Box below and the EML 101 to the left. Also check out George's site for more.Update: Notes from George:
"They're all EML, The sequencer is running on it's own, the Polybox is following an oscillator on the 101 and the 500 is doing the bass line. The drums are actually a real Pearl acoustic set on Power Dive being played by a guy named Pete Gerdin. The vibraphone sound at the beginning of Happy Tune was the vibratone setting on a Yamaha YC-45D combo Organ. The sequencer just gets programmed and turned loose. I just played along with it."
"the samples were 29 years old and dug up off an old cassette in order to let people hear what a Polybox could be used for besides chords. Remember, the BIG music happening then was Disco. (ugh)"
The Button Box
Title link takes you to the post on the Music Hardware blog with video including a performance and how it works by Evan Morris. What's interesting is in the end of the video he mentions a couple of links but shows links to the MIDIBox website, uCAapps.de. Wonder what the affiliation is..."homebuilt midi controller from artist Evan Morris. The box is a button based wave sequencing system that chops and loops audio files in real time using a Reaktor Ensemble."
Crazy Analog
Title link takes you to Crazy Analog, a S. Korean dealer site with loads of gear shots. This one came in via Ken MacBeth, of MacBeth Studio Systems. BTW, if you are on the hunt for a brand new boxed M3X, at a discount, these guys have a few.
They didn't have a nice shot of the M3X, so here's a Moog Source from them instead.
Via Ken MacBeth on AH:
"Hi All! Many people on this list have asked me or made enquiries regarding the availability of the M3X synth that I used to build- I met my S.Korean dealer, Lee, in Frankfurt- to my surprise, he told me that there are 11 available from midistation in S.Korea and a very good price- they were $2200.00USD- but now Lee has dropped his price to $1450.00USD which is a great deal for those who want a brand new, boxed (un-opened) M3X- these one's are special too- featuring blue led's instead of the orange ones! Crikey- remember when blue leds were in fashion!!"
