"A super rare (only 4-6 units left in the world)RED Elektron Sidstation. This is the Beta Version Of All Sidstations.
'The beta models of SidStations used by Elektron and their beta testers had a shining red color. It is doubtful that any of these exist outside the actual company and their beta-test partners.'"
This is up for auction.

Musicmaker Meetup in Brooklyn Tonight

In case you missed this on Create Digtital Music:
"Attention, boys and girls: fans of DIY hardware, physical computing, circuit bending, hacked gear and gaming machines, custom code and patching, independent hardware makers, mad scientists, and even the casual fan of the above who want to check out some cool projects — if you’re anywhere near the NYC area, we want you next week.

Thursday March 22, we’ll be having the first informal get-together for a regular series of events, and we’d love to have you there. (Note that I went with the music angle to keep things simple, but motion-y projects are equally welcome.)"

The Stearns Collection MOOG Synthesizer

"Moog Synthesizer, Stearns 2035. This particular instrument has the distinction of being the first commercially produced Moog synthesizer.

It was commissioned by the Alwin Nikolai Dance Theater of New York in 1964 after being demonstrated at the Audio Engineering Society convention in New York in October of that year. Nikolai used the synthesizer to compose recorded musical accompaniments for his dancers.

Later, the instrument was acquired by the Collection. In 1989, Robert Moog gave a demonstration lecture using this synthesizer—a lecture jointly sponsored by the Stearns Collection and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan."
