"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"

Workspace and Environment: Aaron Spectre

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.

Stylophone

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.

"Just got my Stylophone(ordered it at: www.firebox.co.uk)"

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."

toad & fronstwave fat controller

Image of a toad that wandered in from the typhoon in yokohama the other night, sent my way via Gregg of Darkflame.

Gregg's modular noodlings have been featured on Matrixsynth here and he is friends with Hataken.

I think this marks the first Toad post. :)

The patch for this sample is pictured. Nothing but Plan B.

Morton Subotnick - The Wild Bull (1968, US, electronic)

"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."

via Wiel's Time Capsule where you can find a stream and more of the album.

Update via Wavedeform in the comments: "The CD of this is still in print. Mort's site has ordering information."
