JoMoX SunSyn

via this auction. As always, read the comment if you think of bidding.

You don't see these often. Anyone know how many were made to date?

Some details:
"We did not reinvent the wheel, but actually the complexity of this 8-voice true analog multitimbral synthesizer hasn't been there yet. The term "8-fold storable modular system" would describe this unit in a much better fashion, and exactly this is the SunSyn. Each voice is an ownstanding monophonic complex synthesizer.

The very special idea of the SunSyn is the unique mixture between

analog VCOs and digital waveforms

analog x-pole filters with morphing

analog envelopes with digital LFOs and an

analog routing matrix, which only takes 50% of the hardware space on each voice card.

Means, the best of all worlds."

MOOG Multimoog

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. I decided to go with the close up of the pitch ribbon controller for the post so you can get an idea of the material used. There are close-ups of each section in the flickr set and the action.

"It has 44 keys and features 2 oscillators, ribbon controller, variable waveforms, flexible sample & hold, LFO, aftertouch ( for pitch, VCF, or LFO rate) , and a fabulous sounding 24 dB Moog filter. This item has been cleaned , calibrated, and restored with Kenton MIDI."

"Well folks, the Bent Festival drew to a close last night with a record breaking crowd in attendance here in nyc. A huge thank you to everyone who made this year's festival possible...to all the artists, volunteers, venue staff, and audience members...you were all wonderful and kind and are the reason we keep doing this thing."

Imogen Heap - Just For Now (live at Studio 11 103.1FM)

YouTube via 75dollars. Just saw this on Sonic State. Not directly synth related, so file this one under looping. Apparently she does this all with an Electrix Repeater. If you like this, be sure to see this performance as well. Imogen Heap is absolute magic. I have to thank brian comnes for introducing me to her music back then.

Site Issues On Mac - Should I Cut Posts Down on Main Page?

See this post. I've had another report come in via email on the site being super slow and/or ultimately hanging on Mac, both Safari and Firefox. My stats show approximately 36% of visitors are on Mac. I need to understand how big of a problem this is. If you are on Mac and are not having any problems please post a comment. If are having problems after trying some of the tips in the previous post, please comment.

I currently have three days worth of posts on the main page before the archives. I do this so you have time to catch up on the main page and in case comments are active for a given post. Also on the old version of Blogger there wasn't an "Older Posts" link on the bottom of the page. Now there is. With that along with how much I do post, I'm thinking of cutting down to two days as you can always just click on the "Older Posts" link on the bottom of the page to get to the next day. Let me know what you all think. I can also limit it by number of posts as well. Take a look at my posts over the last three days and let me know what you think would be a good number before you have to click next.
