Looks like he took it up a notch. This actually works:

Buzzmachines

"Buzz is the first ever "easy to use" free modular software based synthesizer. What this means is that the entire system is based on objects, which may be routed in a modular fashion, giving you the freedom to be as creative as you want. For example, if you wish to run 3 Physical Modelling synths and a Drum Machine through 2 seperate Stereo Delays, into a Mixer, through a Compressor and Parameteric EQ, and finally out to your speakers - no problem. Lay down your synths, connect the wires and you're done. Check out the screenshots below for examples!"

I was cleaning out my email and I found one I sent to myself back on 12/28/2001. In it there was just a single link, http://www.buzzmachines.com. I thought I'd check it out before moving it and low and behold it was the Buzzclick software modular. I completely forgot about it. I decided to check out the latest submissions link and to my surprise the latest generator, Mead Bassdrum Machine (picutred), is dated 9/6/06. The latest effect, Multi 2, is dated 9/16/06. Pretty cool considering how long Buzzmachines has been around. Title link takes you there. via me back in 2001.

The Last Gnat Special

Here's a rarity. The last Gnat Special being auctioned off by Adrian Wagner. Unfortunately it's a non working unit:

"Here we have the last not working Gnat Special from the last of the stock from Wasp Synthesizers Limited: the company I opened 24 years ago after the demise of Electronic Dream Plant. There were only 30 unit of this particular wooden model ever made!

The unit does not work when plugged in so I am selling this as component spares, to a collector or to some enterprising engineer who feels like having a go to fix it. Hence the low start with no reserve!

Even though it does not work, the overall condition (including the touch sensitive keyboard) is very good indeed. Unfortunately, all 12 knobs are missing but these are easy to find on eBay. This was the smaller, single oscillator model to the Wasp but with a great and fat sound. Unfortunately, the manual and electronic schematics have been lost years ago so the synth is all you get but, despite this, you will be bidding on a slice of the past and the good old days of British Synthesizer enterprise and development!"
