I love the retro look of these images.

EMS Putney

Imagine seeing this on the counter of your local pawn shop.

Update via the comments: "it's pauls boutique... they always have something interesting (if a little pricey). This never made it on their site for sale but was in the shop. I guess they figured a prettier penny was to be had at auction (the legitimate one)."

via this auction.  Note the auction claims this one is Brian Eno's. All for just 650 GBP! : ) You be the judge. I'm just putting this up because I like the thought of seeing a Putney sitting on a counter. Like one heck of a synth dream to me.

That's a Quasimidi Rave-o-lution on the bottom. HarriL's leads remind me of Clan of Xymox. Good stuff.

Roland JL1?

Anyone know what this is? Title link takes you to more shots on Failed Muso.


Consensus is this is a DIY project in a Roland CSQ-100 box.

Using the Korg Kaoss as a Synth

Shepitology has a post up on how he used his Korg Kaoss KP2 as a synth. Apparently you cannot play the synth part directly via a standard MIDI keyboard. He had to use Fruity Loops as the interface between his MIDI keyboard and the KP2. The post covers how he did this and includes a link to a track with the KP2 used for the lead. Title link takes you there.
