One Synth CDs

Ross sent me the following list of one synth only CDs. I put the ones available via Amazon on the right section of the site under CDs. BTW I previously had CDs, DVDs and Books all in the same section. I decided to break it out so it's easier to parse. If anyone knows where you can get the other CDs let me know and I'll update the list. For now I just created artist links, so what you'll find will be hit and miss.

Title link takes you to more shots by Granktski including some architecture. There are only a couple of synth shots, but it is kind of interesting seeing them with other shots that use scale.

Rob Acid

YouTube via RobBabicz. Send my way via aux. Title link takes you to Rob Acid's website with gear pics and more - check out the studio link. You can also find some videos of him live on YouTube.

BTW, anyone know what gear this is?

Update via brian in the comments: "It is a UE-100, a tube driven, single channel parametric EQ made by Klein and Hummel in the early 60's (1961 to be exact). I also found a link to it's schematic in German [here]."

Ensoniq EPS Factory Samples

Title link takes you to a few factory samples of the Ensoniq EPS sent my way via dm. He also sent me a link to this zip of Kawai XD-5 factory samples. The Kawai XD-5 is on the bottom of the rack in this image. You can check out dm's site with music here.

Buchla 100

Via this auction.

Details:
"SYNTH WAS PURCHASED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, IT WAS PURCHASED USED. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN MY STUDIO ALL THE TIME, IT HAS SEEN LITTLE USE UNDER MY OWNERSHIP AND I THINK IT’S TIME SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE AND I NEED THE MONEY AS WELL. SYNTH COMES WITH A BUCHLA MANUAL, LOTS OF PATCH CORDS. SYNTH WORKS FINE BUT IT MIGHT NEED CALIBRATING BY NOW.

MACHINE WAS KEPT IN A DUST AND SMOKE FREE ENVIROMENT.

Buchla synthesizers are the classic creations of Don Buchla, a circuit designer who produced synthesizers when they truly were analog beasts. Buchla started making his first synthesizers on America's west coast for the purpose of simplifying the tedious process of creating "Musique Concrete". Musique Concrete can be thought of as the predecessor to Electronic Music. It was a form of music in which recordings of various sounds on tape were cut, spliced, distorted, and manipulated in various ways before being spliced back together into something that should sound like music...almost like super old-school sampling & sequencing! This concept was the driving force behind almost every Buchla synthesizer made - an electronic device that can create some basic sound, manipulate it, tune it freely, and sequence it into organized sound, hopefully something musical! With that in mind, Buchla synthesizers were among the first to use indivudally tuneable keys for limitless micro-tuning possibilities, analog sequencers, and complex waveforms other than basic sine, sawtooth, and square waves.
