Voyager Matrixsynth Edition

Via Bee Jay in the comments of this post:

"Happy Christmas, Matrix! may all your (synthy) dreams come true!"

Thanks! : ) A Matrixsynth green Voyager would indeed be a dream come true. Man, that looks nice. Bee Jay saw my Voyager Fire edition post and created a mock-up of the ad with a Matrix Edition. Something tells me the Matrix edition would not fly due to the Movie, however a Matrixsynth edition probably would. I had the site and the green on black before the movies folks - back in Oct' 97. BTW, I ran the idea by someone at Moog and they said we would need to order 50 of them, so... We'll see. If anyone out there can pull any strings...


Update: Also posted on SoNiCbRaT. Thanks Bee Jay! Thanks SoNiCbRaT! One day....

Waldorf Q+ Track via SCD

Title link takes you to SCD (Something Completely Different). Under the Music section you will find tracks sectioned by year. Each track lists the gear used. You'll find the Waldorf Q+ only track under 2003, titled Rainbow 2 (direct link). Do make sure to check out the other tracks as well. It's a great way to hear what some of these synths sound like and it's all good music on its own.

RSF Kobol Expander

Click here for more shots pulled via this auction.

Snip from the details: "It's very well laid out & intuitive to use and the default signal path is printed on the front panel (though damn near every function can be re-routed with a simple patchcord). Has a lot of cool voltage control that one doesn't normally see outside of a very well specified modular--- VC envelopes, filter resonance, LFO, VCO waveform, VCO amount to filter (!), etc, etc. And, of course it has the SSM 2040 filter, in my opinion the best sounding lowpass filter ever (beats the Moog 904A by a hair in my book). I had mine mounted in a rack below the CP-251 and VX-351 CV expander from my Moog Voyager and had a hugely flexible, ridiculously powerful and compact full-blown modular system. I highly suggest the purchaser invest in a Moog CP-251, as it adds much needed mults and Sample & Hold and makes a perfect companion to the Kobol."
