"Here are the first pictures from the 13th EK-Lounge, last Sunday, for the second time, in the Palace of Culture, held Wiesbaden. Es hat uns allen mal wieder so richtig viel Spaß gemacht und ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Lounge #14. It took us all once again so much fun and I am already looking forward to the next Lounge # 14"
Another workspace post is up on trash_audio for those interested. I spotted a Novation Nova and x0xb0x. I always wanted a Nova. I'm curious how much the later K-Stations could cover the Nova and Supernova. From samples I've heard and some play time with the the K-Stations, they seem brighter to me.
Looks like the new Stylophone is shipping. I sent dreikelvin an email asking about the mp3 support. Hopefully we will hear back, so be sure to check back. Update on this below.
Update: I heard back from dreikelvin: "Actually, it is not that spectacular as it sounded in the product description. There is an input-jack for an external audio source (like an mp3-player) which can be used for passing-through an audio signal and mix it with the stylophone sounds. no samples are generated, pitched or saved in memory."

"This Piece was named after a Sumerian poem (c 1700 BC). Morton Subotnick always used the Buchla synthesizer as his electronic instrument. Don Buchla was the west coast counterpart of the east coast Bob Moog. His synthesizers didn't have real keyboards, they were made for producing electronic sounds, not melodies."
"The late David Wilson, curator of the New England Synthesizer Museum, discusses his collection of analogue synthesizers."
"In the quiet town of Nashua, New Hampshire lies the New England Synthesizer Museum. Curator Dave Wilson collects and repairs sythesizers and has worked various duties including proofreading and development for some of the world's most renowned synth makers. The museum is open to the public, contact him at www.synthmuseum.com/nesm for appointments. Synth donations are accepted."

Note the first ARP 2500 previously posted here.
YouTube via shaft9000. Sent my way via Mr. Array. "These are patches I programmed myself, with the exception of the "Oh of Pleasure" arp which is a preset. All are played in single program mode w/ only the SN2's on-board effects, recorded direct with no EQ or compression into Sonar. The audio is then converted to mono for YouTube streaming. I figured most people would like to see and hear how well the SN2 emulates the synths it was designed to sound like : Jupiter & Juno, OB-Xa, MKS-80&70, Synthex etc Please do excuse the occasional bum note as I barrel my way through bits of Van Halen's "Jump", Tangerine Dream's "Beach Theme", Ray Lynch's "The Oh of Pleasure" and assorted improvisations. Apologies are in order for the writers and performers of said music; please forgive this crude satire. ------------- All videos posted by Shaft9000 on YouTube are for demonstration purposes only. I have no affiliation with Novation or any other synthesizer manufacturer."
