"Just went through major changes on my synth setup. Gonne are the Juno 6, Six-Track, MG-1, Mono/Poly and Lambda. In are the mini, the ody,the clav and the jup. Just got the jup this week, and the factory patches are gonne. Other than that it's perfect."

Bergfotron Complex VCO

"The front panel is divided in three parts: To the left the modulation generator, to the right the main oscillator and in the middle, at the bottom, the modulation routing section."

You can find more info and samples here and more sound clips here.

STECKBOX

"The STECKBOX is a simple, universal patchmatrix with 64 crosspoints. Eight inputs and outputs are connected through attentuators, light sensors, buttons or simple shorting jacks... either directly, variable, controllable or not at all; the possibilities are always expanding. As an analogue controller, systematic instrument or multiple, the STECKBOX acts as a control center at the heart of your creative work."

JH. String Filter Update

via JH. on AH:

"A quick update about my String Filter project:

Filter section of one board (20 channels) tested.

The new filter topology works great!
And trimming these filters works like a charm.

They are stable, with TL072 chips.
You can use 10% capacitors here, and still you have almost one turn of the multiturn trimmers to walk along the peak of the BPF transfer function.

Still have to build the VC resonance and the Stereo Spread function, and the on-board PSU. If this works, I'll order a second board to build a complete 40-band prototype.

Linn MIDI Studio 001 prototype

"The (one and only?) Linn MIDI Studio, shown to the world by Bob Connely, director of sales at Linn Electronics - 'Groovy Bob' - hence the serial number GB001. The provenance may be verified with Roger Linn, who is a good friend of owner Felix Visser. Not tested. Includes technical (pre-production) documentation, and a very concise 'how it works'. The code-name of the project was 'Irene'. Dated December 1985."

"Noodling around with various modular synthesizer cabinets with modules from Synthesizers.com and Modcan. Hopefully the first in an on-going series of episodes concerning the generation of electronic tonalities (or something pretentious-sounding like that)."
