Lego Kraftwerk

OK, this one is not a synth, but I'll make the rare exception. I just couldn't pass on posting it. I'll label this one under miniature.

via quiet_channel where you will find more shots and info.

"The 8 knobs on the top of the case control Master Volume, Kick, Clave, Snare, Conga, Low Tom, High Tom, and Hi-Hat levels. The two LEDs indicate power and midi activity... The drum sound circuitry was taken from a broken old Farfisa organ."

Be sure to check out the post for the more detail.

Metasonix Eurorack Update

You might recall from this prior post that Metasonix was going Eurorack. Here is an image of one in the works via Deviant Synth. It's the prototype for a "combined tube distortion/VCA, using variable-mu pentodes (26A6s to be specific)" that will hopefully be shown at NAMM.
