Doug Curtis Obit

And it's confirmed...

"Douglas Curtis

Passed gently from this world on January 10 following a five month battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, and mourned by extended family including two sisters, two nephews and a niece.
Doug is known to the music industry as the founder of Curtis Electromusic Specialties where he developed twenty signal-processing products for electronic music synthesizers and audio equipment. He holds three patents for various elements of his signal processing methodology. Several more patents in his name are assigned for chips designed into various commercial products.
When the advent of digital technology and software changed the electronic music industry, Doug broadened his focus beyond synthesizers forming OnChip Systems. He was recently inducted in to the San Jose Rocks Hall of Fame.
Doug was known for his intelligence, love of family and nature, and his steadfastness. A funeral mass will be held at St. Mary's Church in Los Gatos. Donations in his honor may be directed to PANCAN."

DACS FREQue II Ring Modulator with Oscillator

DACS FREQue II Details
FREQueII (pronounced FREAK) two ring modulators and two oscillators with external CV inputs which work concurrently with the internal variable FM. Frequency Shifting adds and subtracts the oscillator frequency to the frequency of each harmonic component of the music inputs, and outputs them separately - the possibilities are virtually infinite. Balanced inputs and outputs.

Fruity Loops Poizone

Features :
-2 oscillators that can produce the two most popular and useful shapes for subtractive synthesis: fat, bright SAW and PULSE shapes, with adjustable pulse width.
-Noise generator.
-Ring modulation
-Sync modulation
-16 voice polyphony
-4 voice UNISON with user-adjustable stereo panning and 'Octaver'. The Octaver expands the harmonic range and flexibility of the unison sound to support the creation of realistic 'vox-like' effects
-2 ADSR envelope generators. One for traditional envelope duties, the other can be user assigned
-3 FILTER modes - low pass, band pass and high pass. PoiZone features a warm, super-trooper-extra-analog-moog-like-mega filter with self oscillation. Special attention has been given to precise filter tuning so that when KEYTRK is set to maximum, the PoiZone filter will track keyboard frequency precisely so it can be used as an oscillator. The PoiZone filter has bright and clean sound or it can be 'grungy' and 'angry' when resonance is introduced as it features some light distortion. And even with distortion the filter sounds clean on high frequencies as it has no aliasing
-Keyboard and Velocity tracking for the filter
-Multi-mode Arpeggiator
-Noise Gate with an adjustable 16 step pattern. The gate features smoothness control and the ability to import/export patterns to .fxp files
-DELAY effect, with tempo-synced click-free stereo delays and delay time modulation. Lo-cut and hi-cut for trancers!
-CHORUS with a warm sound with great unison emulation
-MIDI learn feature with the ability to save/load MIDI setups to/from a patch
-LFO and MOD WHEEL modulation. Can be assigned to a wide range of performance parameters in PoiZone

Title link takes you to more on SoNiCbRaT. There are some standard gear shots there as well. All very, very nice.

Studio Electronics Omega

Nice shot of the Studio Electronics Omega via this thread. There are some other really nice gear shots of PPG and more. I was about to put up a post on them, but realized they looked very familiar. Title link takes you to Post Pop Music, the site hosting this Omega image.
