"model 2800 (Mk1) with the first 4023 filter. This is a rare black and gold MK1. There were a few 2800's that were made with the black and gold casing. The insides though are identical to the white faced MK1.

Here is a sound clip of this particular odyssey: ARP Odyssey"

Synths L-R from top
2 ARP 2600s

There's a few holes in the racks made by my sick RSF Kobol which has gone for repair and my old Serge system which is being rack mounted." follow up to this post.

CalArts Plan B Analog Synthesis Symposium Jan 14-25

"Peter Grenader will be teaching a six-class course at California Institute of the Arts during the upcoming 2008 Winter Interim in room B-305. Schedule as follows:

Week 1: M/W/F 4:00–6:00
Week 2: TH/F 4:00–6:00

Credit Hours: 15

This class is limited to CalArts student body. Alumni may contact the CalArts School of Music to determine if you are eligible.

Curriculum will include a detailed overview on the operation of CalArts' new Plan B system, as well as in-depth instruction on the principles and practices of additive and subtractive analog synthesis which will include both theory and analysis of various electronic works which utilize analog technology.

Please note that Morton Subotnick will be returning to CalArts during the interim to teach two multi-session classes. One is 'Creating with New Media', and another entitled 'What Music really Is" which is also in B-305 and precedes the Plan B classes the first week. As well, Barry Schrader will be teaching an electro-acoustic flavored single session class which runs after mine next Friday

Photos the new CalArts system wil be posted here next week. It's nice, we think you'll like what you see!."

The Pluto 3000

via vout:

"It shows an amazing (DIY?) synth, the Pluto 3000, I've never seen or heard of it before, but it has some great features, including the enormous patch panels, 4 mod wheels, ribbon controller etc. There's lots of other good stuff on this site, unfortunately (for me) it is in Czeck.

Cheers, vout"
