EML 200

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
"A very old-school semi-modular synthesizer expander module designed as an expander to complement the EML 100 and EML 101. It's monophonic with dual oscillators for a fatter tone. Truly an old school instrument which is as old as 1969! It's not too pretty (they can be found in either blue or silver) but nicely designed and laid out. There are 31 knobs and over 60 patch points! With a little patching, even people new to analog synths will be able to start getting sounds out of the 200. Some additional features include two ring modulators and a spring reverb.

Note however that the EML 200 was designed as an Expander module to interface directly with other EML synthesizers. Today, you can use it with analog synths other than EML with the properly modified CV/Gate connections and converters (its oscillators are a non-standard 1.20v/oct)."

Roland SH-2

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

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."

A6 Andromeda Beat Demo

This one via Paul Sop, aka Doktor Future.
"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!"

"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.
