Roland SH-3A

"Here's some photos of the insides of my Roland SH-3A with some construction comments. The filter is actually a kind of Moog transistor ladder, contrary to what all the material on the WWW says."

White Christmas via Till Kopper

This one in via Till "Qwave" Kopper (shared here).

"Because there is no snow here at all, here is a link to my personal white christmas. I just received my Manikin Memotron with the serial #007. It is a beautiful instrument. I love it! And the white parts of the housing except the backpanel with the jacks are very well white painted wood. The keyboard on the top is a Hohner String Vox. This is a ELKA 490 sold by Hohner International. Built 1974! see here for more info about it.

Have a peaceful and healthy christmas and 2007!"

Thanks Till!

SyNtH MaNtRa SeSSiOn II

Remember this Synth Mantra session on SoNiCbRaT? Title link takes you to the second session featuring the "coctail party" effect.

"Cocktail-Patry Effect is the ability of the human ear to perceive a distinctive sound out of a collage of sounds. The ability to filter out a single sound from a collective of sounds. Sounds which are masked by a myriad of noised can be perceivable by the human ear through the exercise of this effect."

Gear used: KORG Prophecy, Moogerfooger MF105 MurF, KORG EM1, BOSS VF-1 multi-effects processor, and KORG Koass Pad III.
