RIP Lino Ragni

And word is we lost another. Via Florian on the AH list:

"from Dieter Doepfer, I got also the sad news, that Lino Ragni has passed away, who was the founder of the keyboard maker company Fatar."

Doug Curtis Guest Book

I didn't realize it when I first posted the obituary for Doug Curtis, but there is a guest book there that you can sign. If you are up to it I encourage you to sign it and show your support to his family and friends. For those who do not know who Doug Curtis is, read this post. Note that the guest book is updated after review, so you will not see your entry immediately.

Analogue Haven on Doepfer

Thought this was kind of interesting. I went over to the Doepfer site after checking out these videos. I see the image to the left and click on it. I scroll not really paying attention and start reading the news: "december 21st, 2006 : happy holidays! it's our second holiday season and there is much to be excited and thankful about. for you modular fans, it has been one wild year with the explosion of new modular makers in the eurorack and frac rack lines and enough energy and ideas to keep things very exciting into 2007. for you analog keyboard fans, this year saw the release of new synths by bob moog (little phatty) and dave smith (mono evolver) as well as by up and coming legend ken macbeth (m5). for fans of virtual analog and digital synthesis, the virus ti and korg radias proved to be worth the wait and new boxes by creamware (prophet 12 & arp odyssey) are showing why soft synths and va's are best with real knobs and being outside of your main box." It goes on to list other manufacturers, and I'm thinking, ???, this is pretty cool of Doepfer showing their support for other manufacturers, and then I see a listing for a Korg Kaoss Pad 3 for sale. That's when it clicks. I scroll back up and see Analogue Haven in the header. It's not just a section on the US distributor, but the actual Analogue Haven site. The odd thing is I'm still on the Doepfer site. Analogue Haven is just embedded on the right. Eentwesting... The Deutsch (German) site does the same which is even more interesting when you think about it. Anyway, it just seemed a little odd to me.

Roland RS-09 Sample

Title link takes you to a sample of the RS-09 by donaldm via this VSE thread. Note it is not a musical track but just examples of what the RS-09 sounds like. Many of the examples is just holding down the keys so you can get a sense of the movement.

Metal Banjo

Click here for a 5.1M mp3, featuring nothing but the Buchla 200e by Matt. I asked Matt if I could put it up along with a mirror, and he gave the all clear. I thought the title was kind of funny because nearly every time I put up a 200e sample, a certain someone comments on how it sounds like a banjo. Apparently Matt named this track because he read the comments too. Too funny. : ) Enjoy the track.

Previous 200e posts
Matt's "la belle aurore" featuring more Buchla - really good stuff.

Korg ER-1 Disk?

Check out these two shots pulled via this auction. Look at the disk. Mine didn't come with one. Apparently it has a copy of the owner's manual.

JSH Pro Rhythm Mini Synth

No title link. Just two shots pulled via this auction.

Anyone know more about these?
Update via RyBread in the comments:
"They're a percussion synth that was marketed for actual drummers. the mounts allowed it to be mounted to a drum stand for live use. The Schemo can be found at [link].

I've been trying to find the time to build one for more than a year now."
