"Anyhow, this guy named Per Kristian used to be a regular on the Harmony Central forums a while back. He's really a wizard in sound design and has some FANTASTIC Jarre covers up on his site. There's also lots of cool demos and patches for download. I really haven't seen him online anywhere in the last couple of years though. :("

Note the ELKA Synthex with an ELKA stand.

"What is your current favorite piece of hardware?
My Synthesizers.com /MOTM / Blacet /Tellun /Wiard /CGS /Oakley /Bananalogue Analogue Modular Synthesizer is my favorite (almost my *only*) piece of hardware. People talk a lot about the versatility of an analogue modular environment, but coming from computers and (particularly) MAX/MSP, I find modulars *fairly* limiting ... it's kind of the lowest amount of customizability that I find acceptable in hardware. I can't really see myself buying any synthesizers with fixed-signal paths, except for ones that I think are fairly unique in their sound/approach (i.e. Yamaha FSLR, Oberheim OBXM, etc. ) What's really astounding about all this analogue gear is who phenomenal it sounds."
