"From the PAIA site it states 'The PAiA 9700 Series takes a decidedly high level, systems approach to Synthesizer Module design. Rather than individual elements such as a single VCO, VCA or Envelope Generator, each PAiA module combines multiple elements and a powerful patch-over hardwired normaling scheme behind a single compact panel. Common synth voices can be realized with few patch cords but elements can also be accessed individually for maximum versatility in creating complex, unique timbres. A lot of synth power gets packed into a small space at a low cost. Even a "small" system of only four modules, such as the P9700S, provides the sound generating power of as many as 15 conventional modules, including: 2 VCOs 2 VCFs 2 VCAs 1 Balanced Modulator 1 Noise source 2 AR Envelope Generators 1 ADSR Envelope Generator MIDI to CV Converter Glide Processor CV Scale/Offset Processor Power Supply'"

"E-Zignal: Transmision 03 Cosaquitos en Globo Entrevista con Maru y Sebastian" via Sebo on the forum: "I was waiting to introduce myself with some shots of my synth and DIY synth, but recently this video interview of my band (a duo actually) was released so I thought it is a good introduction. Is in spanish (I´m from Argentina). At some point there are some takes of my studio, showing my synths, and some of my DIY ones of course, you can hear them in the songs played at the video or at my band´s myspace (www.myspace.com/cosaquitosenglobo).
You can see: DIY ones: - Mini64 (MIDIbox SID in a shortened C64 case) - MIDIbox 64 (32 knobs MIDI controller) - TR-9090 (909 clone) - micro noise (A kind of optical theremin)
Non DIY: - Oberheim Matrix-1000 - Yamaha TX81Z - Boss DR-110 - Novation BassStation Rack - Roland Alpha Juno-1 - Roland Juno-106 - Korg MS-10 - etc."
"Here is another classic, this time from YMO.
It couldn't be missing in my cover collection, I really love this song.
I tried to use all my analog gear to recreate the sound of the original and I'm quite satisfied. Recorded in one shot... I did some mistakes, but... hey it's LIVE!
Hope you'll enjoy this ;-P
