MATRIXSYNTH

Museum of Synthesizer Technology

via this auction

This is a great book btw, especially if you are into synth pics.

BTW, don't miss the updated Synth Books, Synth CDs and Synth Movies section on the right of this site. If you know of any to add feel free to send them my way or comment. Note I don't want the cd list to get out of hand, so I'm limiting that section to CDs that showcase a given synth or two max.

Under The Sea

Cord posted the following to the Waldorf list. I asked him if I could put it up and he gave the all clear.

"I made a short track with my XTk (10 voices), only the drums are from my MPC1k (and there is only snare and bass). I actually wanted to get more familiar with the JJ OS for my MPC1k (I am only used to the 60) and came up with some ideas. I always wanted to put these bubble sounds into something. Nothing great, just something I put together in my limited spare time...and do not expect Trippler quality here! But maybe you like the PPG aura, I wanted to create."

Dr. Device

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]."
