Formant (Part 1) on Synth.nl

Another project by Synth.nl
"I have been planning to build a Formant modular for a long time as well. I found all the documentation on the Internet and was already reading myself into this material. But I also saw that building these projects take a lot of time take keeps me from producing music. So I looked several times to buy a used set. But most of the times they just didn't fit my needs. Until very recently. I found a very nice set on a Dutch website. They guy that sells it even lived very close to me. At first I started bidding, but later I just mailed him what he asked for it and decided to go for it. I will pick it up on Monday if all goes well."
Note: Synth.nl also put up Part 5 of the ASM-2.

flight of harmony July newsletter

"Now that the madness of developing the Parasite is over, we can tell you about some new developments and upcoming offerings.

· Some of our behind-the-scenes business deals were finalized yesterday, enabling us to receive much better volume pricing on many components and services. Now we get to pass the savings on to you as well! For starters, the price of the Parasite is now just $185.00.

· A stash of the enclosures used to build both the Parasite and the Plague Bearer has been discovered! We are happy to announce a run of twenty v1.1 Plague Bearers, at $240 each. Version 1.1 has a few changes, mostly internal – PCB layout tweaks and Power Supply changes. The patch panel will be all 3.5mm jacks as well. The Parasite v1.0 run has been extended to 50.

Upcoming:
· Modular versions of the Plague Bearer, Parasite, and the Infernal Noise Machine are in development.

· The standalone version of the I.N.M and the Imp should be available soon, with custom wood enclosures, which leads us to:

· We have expanded our crony resource list to include a custom cabinetry manufacturer, and will be offering custom wood enclosures soon.

· And a few more things to be revealed in the future…

Oberheim Matrix-6

Thought this was an interesting shot via trash_audio's latest workspace post on "On Holiday."

"What are your current favorite pieces of hardware? ...I used to love my Oberheim Matrix 6 because it transports you to a magical place of cheesy 80s horror films, but Qrixs broke a bunch of the keys and it's been dropped a lot, so now it's starting to program its own not-good sounds. I'm pretty sure none of that is actually 'hardware,' but ah, well."
