Vince Clarke UMI Sequencer

images via this auction
"original system owned by Vince Clarke (probably used as a backup in his studio 37B). He has used UMI sequencers for decades to compose dozens of pop hits. You have the chance to own the latest UMI version created exclusively for Vince Clarke. You get the backup system located on the left side in pic 1. For further pics of the running system in Vince Clarke´s studio 37B see homepage of Gareth Jones. Pics 2 and 3 were made in 37B. You see Vine Clarke working on a pattern using the Microeditor.
This is what you get:
1. One UMI software (release 1.10, located in 6 eproms), modified in 2 versions excusively designed for Vince Clarke --> RND and MTC mods
2. One UMI MIDI-Interface
3. One BBC Master computer with one 3,5" floppy drive (80 tracks) and one Microvitec "Cub" color monitor
4. One copy of user manual (last official release 1.08)
5. Two ROM cartridge holder (each can hold 2 eproms)
6. One formatted disc containg a single pattern for testing the system
7. One short introduction for handling the BBC (e.g. formatting dics)
The system runs on 220 V. All needed cables included."

It's the Envelope, Stupid! - Navs' Modular Lab Easter EG Hunt

"time for another Modular Lab test:
Common wisdom has it that the most important module for shaping your sound is the filter. I beg to differ: it's the envelope, stupid!

On the bench: Doepfer's A-140 ADSR, A-142 Decay/ Gate, A-143-1 Complex EG/ LFO & Cwejman's ADSR-VC2.

Enjoy the test and happy hunting!

"i found in an old french book about synthesis (from Jean-Paul Verpeaux) a picture of a 'yamaha FM synthesis prototype', clearly looks like a DX-1, with some differences quality is very bad, i'm sorry, but, i don't think i've ever seen that picture"

Be sure to click the image for the full size shot and zoom in a bit. The scan actually isn't too bad in that you can read the text and you can clearly see the label CSDX. If anyone can translate this feel free to post it in the comments or send it my way. You can find my contact info on the bottom right.

The JEZ 40 - Roland Jupiter-6 Cake

via Jez:
"To celebrate my fourth decade, my wife made this superb JP6 cake. It's minus a filter envelope and an oscillator but I think we can allow a certain artistic licence! Very reluctant to actually carve into it!"

Be sure to check out the cake label below for all posts with cake.
