Ad Infinitum - UM406

Title link takes you to Ad Infinitum, makers of the UM406. Shot and details via this auction.

Details:
"The UM406, "Utilis Multis IV-VI", is six four-way multiples with 3.5mm jacks in a standard dual-width Frac-Rak module.

Very Handy!

In an analog modular synthesizer, multiples are used to route an audio or control-voltage output signal to more than one input destinatation.

The UM406 has three groups of two multiples, each group having a normally closed connection between the two 'mults', such that each group can function as a seven-way multiple when the leftmost jack on the lower row is left unpopulated. When the leftmost jack on the lower row is populated, the group acts as two independent four-way multiples.

This module is not RoHS compliant and does not fit a Blacet rack frame.

Please visit the adinfinitummusic website at alexiles.com for more options and to see more of our products."

ARP Slider Caps

"The early ARP synthesizers had multicolored plastic caps on their sliders. These caps were originally intended for mini toggle switches, but can be used on the sliders with a little coaxing. You can still get these from Mouser Electronics. They are made by Mountain Switch, and the Mouser part number is the same as the Mountain Switch part number."

Title link takes you there. Be sure to track back to the root of the site for more odds and ends including the Continuum Fingerboard (previous posts). Image of the ARP Axxe on the site via sequencer.de.

Inside a Roland Jupiter 8

No title link. Brian saw the "jupiter guts" post of the Jupiter 6 and thought it looked familiar.

He dug up a shot of this Jupiter 8 he restored and sent it my way.

Update: Title link takes you to a flickr set with more shots set up by Brian.

Roland Teaser

Roland Teaser for 1/18/07, NAMM, is up. Title link takes you to it on the Roland home page. There are three flashes of what looks like the hardware. I grabbed two but couldn't get the last.
Update: you can see some more stills in this HC thread. The last shot I tried to grab was a slider. Also someone suggested it looks like the coming MV-8800 with color screen, which makes sense as the video states the revolution will not be in black & white.
