StringZ2
"A new and much 'Improved' version of StringZ, we present StringZ2. Now much more capable of providing pad ensemble sounds as well as the PM sounds that StringZ was famous for. This version boasts the keyscale controls first introduced in Rticul8r. Here they can be used to good effect to fine tune the filter or harmonics across the keyboard. This version also has a reverb unit built in that can become part of the voice architecture. Complete with a full bank of 128 presets which have been kindly contributed by Tim Conrardy and Himalaya showing the full range of this distinctive keyboard."

ARP 2500 NOODLE

Title link takes you to an ARP 2500 track sent my way via ben.

"I thought you might like to hear a little "ARP 2500 NOODLE" i did yesterday [actually its nearly 7 mins long]. It's an arp going through an ibanez AD-80 delay pedal. It's in mono. The arp is set up to play a simple sequence [notice it is 10 steps long] and I tweak the pitch etc as it goes. I also tweak the delay repeat/time/blend knobs. Note that this is an analog delay pedal from the 70s, using the amazing Panasonic MN3005 bucket brigade delay circuit"

GRS VCO.3 and H.R. Giger

via Nikos-Greece

"a picture I found in a Taschen book about the famous Swiss artist H.R. Giger.(see "Alien" and ELP'S "Brain Salad Surgery" cover) Well, in the picture, you can see behind the couple(?) the rare Italian synth GRS VCO.3. According to "A-Z of Analogue Synths" by Peter Forrest,only 30 of them were made,and it is reported that it was a great sounding synth. So maybe in the 'famous users list' of A-Z, could be added this couple of engineers. An (Eminent) Solina can be seen also, under the VCO.3.

You can also find a photo of the GRS VCO.3, in Sequencer.de site, as it's featured in the swiss synth "Synthorama" collection."
