creamware Prodyssey

flickr by pac209.

This one kept popping up on my blog reader so I guess it really wants a post. ;)

click here for the full size shot. There is one more in the flickr set.

Also, according to the description of the shot, it looks like it's actually for sale.

"the Prodyssey (sold only 2006 and 2007) is a VA remake of the Arp Odyssey II. It has 12 voices and 127x user memory. The filter is switchable between ARP and Minimoog style 24dB charakter."

Buchla Sighting - DJ Heather Heart

Buchla Music Easel. This one sent my way via vgermuse.
"Here's a little clip from the DVD Better Living Through Circuitry by Jon Reiss. The clip is of the DJ Heather Heart and has a brief but nice panning shot of what looks to be a pristine Buchla Music Easel."

Update: found the DVD on Amazon

More info on imdb.

If anyone has an official website for the DVD, post it in the comments and I'll update the post.

"Crap demo of the JP8000 doing the solo to Jean Michel Jarre's Overture, from The Concerts In China. Massive apologies for the really bad solo. This was using the Soaring Mini patch. You can listen to my proper cover version of Overture on my soundclick page."

Looks like there's one up this auction. You don't see these come up often.

Design: Fotosis No. 005

"Fotosis instrument No. oo5 will be a hybrid guitar / synth, but not 80's keytar style. Actually it will have everything our previous instruments had with a special sort of experimental guitar added to the control panel. That means square wave noise maker section, optical theremin, passive ring modulator and a weird stringed instrument all in one. The picture on the left is my first drawing of the proposed device. I suppose it'll look and play a bit like a lap steel guitar."

Podcast: Sonic TALK 057 - Prophet 08, Logic 8 Leak

"First we get excited about the new synthesizer from Dave Smith Instruments - the Prophet 08, then Noneric gives us some second-hand but reliable information on the new Logic Pro imminent update, then we're off to the world of quad core laptops, OS upgrades ain't what they used to be, and as Jazz Mutant demo their first mulit-touch PC, how do we feel about using that as an interface?"

Title link takes you there. The Prophet '08 talk, actually doesn't come in for bit but the talk leading up to it is entertaining as usual. There is some mention of the Waldorf Blofeld and the recent Musotalk vids. Great podcast and... Matrixsynth got a plug. : ) Very cool. Thanks guys.
