"It's also commonly said that the Juno-60 sounds "punchier" than the 106 because the 60 had the ability to modulate osc. pulse from an envelope."

I actually haven't heard this one often. Feel free to comment.

New Metasonix Moon

The naked butt of the new Metasonix. And of course new graphics are going up daily on umop.

Moon as in mooning someone. My lame attempt at humor, not the actual name of the new unit.

Update: Bill O'Reilly is a Putz? See the comments for more.

Audio Damage Ricochet

The latest from Audio Damage. Not out yet, but I'm guessing close.

"Ricochet is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use multi-tap delay, with the signature Audio Damage sound. Featuring a 16-step grid for programming tap time, Ricochet is right at home in modern electronic music production, designed specifically for that context, and is much quicker to program than the run-of-the-mill multi-tap."

More info including samples on the Audio Damage website.

MOOG Song Producer

this auction

"For sale an super- rare- impossible- to- find Moog Song Producer for the Commodore 64. Pratically it is a Midi/Triggering interface which uses the Commodore 64 as its DAW. It comes with original package, software and diskette, plus alot of tech notes (yeah .. very uber-vintage feel !) The pictures below show the MSP for sale and those are real screen pics of the beast at work. The C64 in the pictures is NOT included in the auction.

Lots of geeky info out there if you Google "Moog Song Producer" (click here for results) without mentioning all the C64 blogs."

Update: I've updated the flickr shots with larger ones.

this auction.

"For sale an impossible- to- operate- but- very- rare Philips PCM100. I am selling it because I cant find a manual and I do not dare to circuit bend it myself. Pratically it is a FM synth with a bunch of presets, a membrane keyboard, 8k of memory and it boasts a cassette recorder. It works but I can only make her play the 3 demo songs. It uses batteries or a normal 9V adapter (both not supplied)."

Update: I've updated the flickr shots with larger ones.
