Amdek PCK-100 Percussion Synthesizer

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.
"The Amdek PCK-100 has been likened to the Boss PC-2 Percussion Synthesiser and looking at pictures of the PC-2 it would appear to be identical in terms of controls at least and even down the the choice of font! Hmmmmmm. I have read that Amdek was the user-kit division of Boss. However, I have to say I have never done a side by side comparison of the PC-2 and PCK-100 so cannot say here that they are identical in sound characteristics. However I can say that this unit is capable of creating some of the deepest BOOOOMs I have ever heard from any piece of kit. It is also capable of creating some very odd off-the-wall synth percussion sounds as wel as more traditional synth drum sounds and all using true analogue circuity. This is proper cool, no messing.

Included in this auction are the original assembly instructions / user manual, which present detailed instructions for modifications to the circuit to add extra oscillator waveforms or additional modulation possibilities. This unit has NOT been modified so if you are so inclined you can bend it either using the suggested modifications or by going off piste in true circuit bending style."

TENORI-ON In Development Flick Set and Initial Pricing

Title link takes you to the Flickr set. It also looks like the price for the first run will be GBP 599 with free shipping, and will be a limited run in the UK. A straight conversion to USD would be approximately 1,200. The main production run should of course be less. Hopefully they will adjust the price down to something much more reasonable in the US. The unit will also run on double A batteries so one less wire to worry about.

New Round of Matrixsynth Ts and More

MATRIXSYNTH T shirts are now available. You might remember the old shirt. These new ones meet my quality bar. The green is more of a Full Sail green but I like it. They are direct print, not heat transfer so they will last.
