Coalescence and Luxation

"This is what I've been working on for the past week after I put my kids to bed. The music is realized entirely using my modular - every total element, one monophonic line at a time. The only non-modular element is Battery which I used for the drums. All of this audio was recorded into my DAW and severely processed and edited, but no other synths were used."

"Having a play on Arturia's actual Roland Jupiter 8 test machine. Amazing how they made it sound just like the software..."

Doepfer A-100 Monster Base Frame

via Doepfer, via ross.
On the occasion of the Musikmesse Frankfurt from March 12 to 15, 2008 we show the prototype of the A-100 Monster Base. It has the same width as the A-100 monster case and is planned as a base frame for these. But it can be used also without the monster case. It has a removeable top cover with handle for easy transportation.
The base frame has two rows for modules available: one with horizontal alignment and another 45 degrees inclined row. The useable width will be probably 160 HP (i.e. a bit less than the monster case because of the mechanical construction). Two A-100 power supplies (PSU2) and four bus boards are built in.

Release date: spring 2008, price: still to be calculated

Not the best audio quality, but they should give you a sense of the character as well as some of the soundsets for the E-Mu Emax.

PAiA Fatman Analog Synthesizer Jam/Test

via Nusonica
"Simple jam session, testing out the PAiA Fatman Analog Synthesizer. The drums are from a Korg drum machine. The PAiA Fatman is a DIY Analog Synthesizer kit. It arrives… More» in a thousand pieces, and you build it. The included instructions are excellent, and this was a very fun build. I highly recommend PAiA’s products."
