Title link takes you to a post on the KORG Wavestation on a Spanish synth blog, Celiar Structures. You can find a Google translated version in English here. This is a good follow up to this post on the Yamaha TG-33.

The EVOS Modular is Coming

Remember the EVOS? Via Mike Peak on AH:

"Dennis contacted me yesterday:

'Mike,

I have no problem with you passing on what I discussed with you. I will be making some sort of announcement (sometime in early '08) about the web site and when the updated Evos Modular will be available.'....

The previous email:
'Mike,

Every few months, or so, I do some internet browsing, just to see what sort of things are going on in the synth world - especially concerning modular stuff. While doing so, I happened upon your post on the MATRIXSYNTH site (via AH).

It's always pleasing to me to know that people are still interested in my modular and also, that they seem to understand and appreciate what I was trying to accomplish. While I have no objections to the documentation being disseminated, I often have mixed feelings about this. Firstly, (and most importantly) because the system has gone through a number of refinements over the past few years and secondly, republishing them only perpetuates the grammatical and typographical errors which appeared in the originals. To rectify this situation, I am (slowly) compiling data on the latest version which will appear in an upcoming web site dedicated to my modular system. Eventually, I plan to include some historical information tracking the development of the various versions of the system through time.

...I have been making plans to release the new version of the modular early next year. It will be, initially, limited to a set of what I consider to be the most essential modules, with gradual additions over time.

I genuinely want to see the modular in the hands of people who might put it to good use...

Take care.

Dennis'

This is great news. Especially if it sounds like it looks."

Yamaha TG-33 Welcome Message

"Nice to meet you"

A little synth history: The TG-33 is a direct descendant of the SCI Prophet VS, vector synth. It is different than wavetable synthesis found in the PPG and Waldorf synths. When SCI folded, Dave worked for Yamaha and the technology used in the Prophet V went into the TG-33 and eventually the KORG Wavestation when Dave moved on to Korg. The Prophet V had analog filters, the TG-33 and Wavestation were all digital and of course they all sounded different. BTW, if anyone has more to add to the story, feel free to comment. The one thing I always wonder was who owned the technology and how it moved from Yamaha to Korg. You'd think Yamaha would have held onto it if they could. I'm sure I heard the story at one point, but it's all a blur...

Update: MP3 demo via smackos in the comments.
