Title link takes you to a slew of synth shots from Andrew Dean, including some rare items (Update: the site is gone, title link now points to Waveterm's flickr set for the LAB). The gear list is pretty long so hop over to see based on the titles. You'll find a ton of PPG including the Waveterm and EVU (Expansion Voice Unit - the sequencer looking thing in the shot below), various Simmons drum machines, the Yamaha CS30L (below), and more. Note the CS30L is flat unlike the CS30 which had an angled control panel.

Update: More on the PPG Waveterm and PPG in general, including samples on the PPG Webpages. Tip via Mr. Array in the comments.

Oberheim OB8

Just a cool shot of the OB8 sent to AH from the "opening shot of the music video for "Sierra Leone" by Coconut Rough, from 1983." BTW, I checked YouTube for the video, and couldn't find it.

Update via Andrew in the comments: Here's the YouTube link.

Jomox Clap Samples by Mark

Mark sent the following to AH. He gave me the ok to host the samples and put this up.

"FYI, a look inside the SE shows a ROM chip with the words "Airbase ROM" stickered to it - so it definitely is the exact sample set. Here are some samples from the XBase09SE - dialed to different settings in a usable range: link.

The 808 and 909 are pretty much what you'd expect. The CR78 doesn't sound a thing like a clap to me, but an interesting sound. The JMX (Jomox) clap is a new one altogether, and pretty cool.

Enjoy,
Mark"
