Ionic Performer Shots

Paul Sop, aka Doktor Future, got his Ionic Performer back. Click here for some shots he added to his gallery. The Ionic Performer has gone down in synth history as a Synthi clone. You can find more on the Ionic Performer here.

According to Paul Sop:
"It's totally Dr. Who and Blakes Seven. It's totally Synthi like, but in a whole new package, with some other odd controls."

Update via the comments: Apparently this is the same Ionic Performer listed in this Music Thing post. Doktor Future picked it up from that auction. Kind like we are keeping it in the family folks. : )

Monolake - Imbalance Computer Music

Monolake is a project by Ableton co-founder and software architect Robert Henke. I somehow missed this one. Create Digital Music had a post up on Monolake on July 24, and Analog Industries just put up a post on the Monodeck II by Monolake. I put up a Monodeck II post and headed over to the root of the Monolake site to check it out.

On the site you will find a number of esoteric projects including MIDI controlled light bulbs, virtual surround sound thunderstorms, cross Atlantic network live performances, the Monodeck II, and more. Too much for one post. Title link takes you there.

Monodeck II MIDI Controller

Ableton co-founder and software architect, Robert Henke's new custom MIDI contoller.

"All 96 LEDs are full RGB and can display several colors, allowing to assign multiple functions to the buttons. I plan to put up more in detail informations about its structure and the implementation or a video clip of it once it is fully functionable. The first concerts with it are planned for fall 2006."

Larry Hendry's MOTM For Sale

You might remember Larry Hendry passed away in October of 2005. His MOTM modular is up for sale. Title link takes you to a page put up by his son Jim Hendry with more shots and details.

The following was forwarded to AH from the MOTM list:

"Hello from Jim Hendry, Larry's son.

The whole story is in spelled out on the page below, but my brother and I have worked through enough of the estate that we're down to dealing with the music gear, which at this point means his synth. I spent a lot of hours just setting up this page, so I hope it does the synth some justice. I hope everyone is ok with posting for sale items on the board. I've seen a few others over the months so I was thinking I wouldn't offend anyone by posting this. Please drop by to at least have a look at it, even if you're not looking at purchasing. I know he'd want to show it off! :-)

If you need any further/more specific pictures, feel free to request them. If you need any questions answered, I'll do my best to do that as well.

Thanks for your time,
-Jim
