"Synton was mainly an importer in Holland. They imported big league stuff. Fairlight, E-mu, Simmons, PPG. They also made some synths: the SYRINX, the series 2000 & 3000 modular the College, as well as some Vocoders."

"Serge live improv. More along the lines of what I set out to do when performing with patches like this. I can hear room for improvement but this is more like it..."

First patch with A100 Minicase

First patch with A100 Minicase from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"I'm using it with a Voice of Saturn Sequencer and a couple of Frostwave pedals (The Resonator and the Blue Ringer).

Nothing to listen to really-- I'm just excited to finally have some modules to play with and am filming this strictly for the purposes of down-the-road nostalgia stuffs.

In the case:
Doepfer A-118 (not used)
Plan B ELF LFO
Doepfer A-140
Doepfer A-132-3"

Synthpunk with a Roland SH-201

Also, if any of your viewers wants a free demo, I'm shipping them out for free!

It's not for the faint of heart: pure synthpunk. No sequencers, no bullshit."


"I use Roland SH201. Two Saw tooth waves stacked on top of each other, seperated and octave and pushed through a Fender Combo. Ah the joy of simplistic brute tones. Prior to acquiring the 201, I used a MicroKorg. Loved the MS2000 sound engine, but the little synth started giving out after a few years -- I'm guessing the circuit board's placement didn't help (beneath the keys plus my sweat build up). We have songs on our page and a video coming in a few days. You don't have to do anything for it if you don't want, we are just trying to do our own thing while taking from the past; pure synth punk."

"SN 84. The shipping box lid requires you to cut through the label on top so I took this picture before I cut through it pretty cool, my only beef is that there is no software editor so you have to pick it off the floor to program it which means pulling up 4 CV cables, 2 MIDI cables , power and USB cables which is kind of awkward, or you can leave it on the desktop but that makes it hard to use with your foot anyway its way cool, 4 LFOs out as CV and/or MIDI CC, this will make my filters sing for sure"
Update via brian in the comments: "two other things:
1. the LFOs synch to MIDI or tap tempo as an option
2. there are 50 presets so if you plan ahead you don't have to pick it up very often"

"This is the "board" version of the Solar Module. Can be used as is, or installed in a project box. It is completely assembled and all parts are soldered for you. Two instruments in one. It is an 8 bit synth and MIDI controller. Uses a 12" ribbon sensor, the same sensor used in commercially manufactured ribbon controllers. Also come with a photocell sensor that plugs right into the board. The photocell sensor will allow you to use the Solar Module board as an optical Theremin. Available at ElectroKraft.com "
