Roland SH-2
Details:
"The SH-2 is one of Rolands' early synthesizers. It is very simple in design, look and function. It sounds much like the SH-101 synth, including the typical SH-style sub-oscillator. But the SH-2 employed 2 oscillators for a much fatter sound. It has the typical Roland SH sound - it's a monophonic bass synth that's flexible enough to provoke punchy analog basses, leads and squelchy sounds. The oscillators can be de-tuned as well, another feature the popular SH-101 lacks. But it isn't very pretty to look at as it shares the same design and layout as the SH09. Still it makes a simple and easily programmable mono-synth that can be used in place of the more common SH-101. However the SH-2 is harder to find and so it usually has a higher price than other SH-type synthesizers from Roland."
Maestro W-2 Woodwind Instrument
Details:
"1970’s Maestro Sounds for woodwinds multi-effects box. I have had this for a long time now, and it makes some really crazy sounds. It emulates different woodwind sounds which you can trigger by voice,guitar…whatever and also has a fuzz distortion built into it." Schematics included with this one.

A6 Andromeda Beat Demo

"Here's a demo of a stock A6 mix patch with a touch of funky:
I've taken the 16 A6 discrete outputs and fed them into a cheap summing bus,
Then into a Chandler Germanium,
Then into a Compressor (cheap DBX 166xl)
Then into a MAM Resonator,
Then into a Compressor (it's all analog and mono up to this point),
Then into a ADC (Motu w/Blacklion),
Then into a Weiss DNA-1 (doing only a little ambiance regen),
Then into the Kyma (a touch of stereo tremolo & digital grit),
Then out to the net.
It's streaming from Radio Modular also.
Cheerio!"
a Buchla 259 I built for the Audities Foundation

"Built from NOS Buchla PCBs. Don didn't have any of the knobs you usually see left, but he did put these on some of the 259s he sold in the 70s."

Creamware Assets Absorbed by SonicCore and InDSP
You might remember from this post that Creamware was declared insolvent on December 18, 2006. According to this CDM article it looks like SonicCore will continue to support SCOPE (hardware and software) under the Creamware name and InDSP has absorbed the rights to their hardware synthesizer technology which makes sense as they were responsible for the ASB line of synths. Title link takes you to more details on Create Digital Music.
