On Radio Modular via Doktor Future

On the right hand side of this site, just above the Sparkle Train logo, you will see a link for Doktor Future's Radio Modular. It's a live feed of his gear just doing it's thing. Below is a description of what Doktor Future (Paul Sop) started running last night.



"Andromeda -(mono out)>
-> triple-resonant filter w/lfo modulating
-> compressor (maybe 1-2db reduction at times)
-> chandler germanium
-> compressor (maybe 3-4db reduction)
-> ADC
-> digital eq (free Kajerhus Classic EQ)
-> Kyma (passing through a physical model of a Violin's Resonant
Cavity - subtle)
-> Some Weiss Ambiance Processing (very subtle)
-> Eventide panning delays (to make it seem like Stereo)

+ those risset bells I'm fond of in the background at a very very low volume.

The A6 is going at a low BPM through an arpeggiator, which is what
makes the tone sequence. A6 digital effects are off but there is a
slight touch of the A6 transistor distortion.

I have cables sticking down two keys on the A6.

I like how sometimes it's crystal, sometimes its grungy low. Kinda
neat. I thought you might enjoy giving it a listen, for I know you
like drones a bit."

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"
