Elektron Easter Suprise

This one via Niall.

"I ordered some replacement encoders from Elektron for my Machinedrum, and they included a little holiday surprise. Note the SPS-1 sticker. Sadly, I have yet to see the best-known easter egg, a pixelated Elvis on startup, and I've had the MD for a few years, now."

Too cool. Title link takes you to one more shot.

Interestingly the auction does not mention the input mod in the bottom picture. Anyone know more about this?

Minimoog Front Panel

via this auction.

Details:
"If you have a damaged front panel in your beloved Minimoog, here is a brand new one for restoring it. Also, if you are planning to make a DIY synthesizer, a Mini Clone or a similar project, this panel is a real must... It is made in plastic, identical to the old original one and will allow you to give a real rebirth of a worn Mini panel. It has already the holes that perfectly fit the Mini's hardware"

Five 12 Numerology

Just realized I hadn't put a post up on Numerology before. Mac only from what I can tell. Now if they only ported this to Windows...

"So what is it?

Numerology is a revolutionary new virtual studio environment from a small company known as Five12. It is a modular sequencing and Audio Unit hosting environment designed for performing musicians. It works by giving the user an organized workspace within which they can quickly create and connect together a variety of modules for sequencing, MIDI generation, automation, audio synthesis and effects. By using Numerology in conjunction with your choice of Audio Unit plugins and hardware synths, you can create an open compositional environment that is truly your own.

The sequencing modules in Numerology follow a model similar to that originally used by analog sequencers: The user creates sequences of general-purpose control values that can be routed to other modules to control generation of MIDI Notes, CC, NRPN or Pitch Bend messages. These streams of MIDI data can either be routed to Audio Synthesizers running in Numerology, or external MIDI hardware and software, or both."
