"Oakley Modular are proud to announce the re-issue of a limited number of modular synthesizer PCBs designed by Tony Allgood of Oakley Sound Systems. Short production runs of these popular boards will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Depending on the popularity of this first run of boards, further PCBs from the Oakley range may be offered."
Note it's Oakley Modular and not Oakley Sound Systems. Via
Oakley Sound Systems News:
"I have formed a new partnership with two individuals to allow PCBs and hopefully ready made modules to become available again.
Oakley Modular is the newly formed company that is handling all the merchandising of the modular PCBs and parts.
This week they started shipping the first batch of re-issued boards. Depending on sales, we will then look at introducing new versions of some of the obsolete modules, and perhaps some new ones too.
The new Oakley Modular website can be found here. Please note that although the website is fully functional, we still have plenty of things to add to it. We hope to update all the User Guides and give you new pictures of the new RoHS compliant PCBs and parts.
Tony"

Sjaak Thanks Sjaak!
You are looking at the inside of a Hartmann Neuron. Check out the motherboard and harddrive. Amazing. I remember hearing it was a pc, but to actually see it like this is kind of surreal. Beauty on the outside and a pc on the inside. Title link takes you to the post on sequencer.de.
"The improved afterpressure circuit from Moog gives you a wider sweet spot to do everything from vibrato and filter sweeps to oscillator syncs. It works by providing a voltage to the circuit proportional to the amount of pressure applied. By spreading out the change in voltage more evenly the player will notice greater expressiveness and control."

Never thought I'd put up a shot of one of these on this site. Title link takes you to Star Labs, home to a number of custom midi instruments including this one, the Z6. There are some interesting controllers worth checking out including the Kurzweil EventStation 1.0. "We have released to Kurzweil Musical Systems the beta-run of the EventStation MIDI percussion controller and event-processor. This is a new type of MIDI drum-brain that combines a fast, responsive percussion controller with robust support for Continuous Control functions, two sequencers, and multiple looping and stacking features."
