2006 MTV Movie Awards - Gnarls Barkley on YouTube

Boba Fett on the Hammond B3, and a Jedi on the Wurli and synth. Anyone know what synth that is? I'm guessing it's the Korg MicroPreset/M500. There's also what looks like a Korg MS2000 behind Chewy. And of course, Chewy steals the show on drums. BTW, my almost three year old daughter is on a huge Chewy kick at the moment. She's like, "what's he dooooing?!" Hopefully she will continue to appreciate synths.

Chrome Waldorf Microwave

1 of 2 ever made according to the anonymous sender of this shot. The knobs and buttons are metal, not plastic.

"it's one of two and it is chromium-plated, not silver. bcoz it is like a mirror, it is hard to take a picture of it. the "red-knob" is made of aluminium (also the other knobs-caps are metal and not plastic)."

Note the limited green Microwave under it. Image takes you to a slightly bigger shot and the title link takes you to the full size.

The Pile

Now, that's one mess I'd be a we bit excited to run into. I want that one octave thing in the left, center. Anyone know what that is? The one the pink thing's eyelashes are pointing to. Title link takes you to the post on Sendling.

Novation KS4 and EMU MP-7.

Funny, I almost thought the EMU was some sort of painting when I first saw this shot.

I love how the colors match in this shot.

Acidlab Bombass

I knew about the Acidlab Bassline for a while now, but I didn't realize they also had another product called the Bombass. Via xonox:

"It is named Bombass. It is a monosynth table top module as you can see on the picture. The bombass is quite quirky and can sound very acid too. It is quite flexible thanks to ring mod or sync between the 2 oscillators. The lfos have some weird waveforms, which helps getting some squishy sounds. It all depends on how you use it. It is one of the few monosynths i know with an accent input. The bombass does not have midi, it is cv/gate only."

I checked the Acidlab site (title link) and couldn't find any info on the Bombass, however there are some samples on the Klang page.

Update: Some info and another shot sent in via an anonymous reader.

"owners of the boombass can be happy, coz only 10 of them were made and it seems that no further batch is planned (8 are around, 1 belongs to me and 1 belongs to klaus). that is the reason why there is no info on acidlab.de.

the boombass is in principle a pimped bassline with a additional 2nd osc, filter-fm, a pitch envelope (sweep) and a lfo with individual routing to vco and vcf.

the lfo is very, very fast and could be reseted by gate in. also the lfo folows the contol voltage, so the filter or the osc can be "fm-ed" in tune. the lfo has 6 waveforms: triangle, square, "stepped-ramp" up and down, random, s/h.

the vco can be switched to 6 operating modes: single osc saw, single osc square, 50/50 mix square, sync, ringmod, external in (off). white noise can always be mixed to the signal."

Plexi Modular Case

Two shots of a clear Plexi modular case. That's Adam installing some modules. Nice. Shots via the Plan B Yahoo Group.

More on Plan B here.
Update via Adam in the comments: "Thanks to Sean Price for designing this cabinet, I think he should go into business with these..."

Indeed.
