No, not my studio. Flickr set by firegroove.

Have fun spotting the synths in this set. I gave up on the labels. :) Note the Power Glove.

Rhodes Chroma Interface Manual

via Chris Ryan on the Rhodes Chroma list.
"The Interface Manual is now available in hypertext format at the site. It documents the computer interface, and includes sections on Command Descriptions, Software and Hardware requirements (along with schematics), and several appendices such as Parameter Information and Command Listing.

This is the 1982 edition that I obtained from the Canadian distributor in the mid-1980s. There was apparently a later revision; David Clarke has sent me some excerpts and I will publish them at a later date, or perhaps update the entire manual (does anyone have a page that might indicate the publication date of a later edition?). The additions appear to be mostly related to the Polaris.

All four major Chroma manuals are now online: Performance, Programming, Service, and Interface. As this is another significant addition to the site, I will consider it a "special summer double issue" and will not publish a new article for August (though I will still post the list archive for July and do other minor updates)."

CME UF 50 And Waldorf Nano: The CME Stands Alone

YouTube via gearwire
"Bill Holland has more than a few screws loose in this video as he opens up the CME UF 50 controller keyboard for some surgery. If the surgery is a success, the implanted Waldorf Nano soundcard will give the CME controller the ability to act as a standalone keyboard.

If the surgery fails, however, Bill's medical license will be revoked, and he'll have to resort to being an actor -- possibly a stand-in for the Blue Man Group.See more on Gearwire.com."

"This is a pic of my recently completed Synthtech MOTM 300 Ultra VCO, made from v2.0 parts instead of a complete kit. It's basically identical, except for a few part choices - I used someone elses Bill of Materials which had some odd parts choices on it."
