Cwejman VM-1 Meets SH-101

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"We're using the sequencer from the classic Roland SH-101 to play the Cwejman VM-1 Voice Module / Multimode Filter.

The VM-1 is an incredible module that contains a versatile Cwejman oscillator as well as Cwejman's renowned Multimode filter. Unlike the MMF-1 the VM-1 gives you the "Mode Morph" knob which allows you to sweep through the different filter modes. These include low, band, and highpass. You also have the ability to fade between filtering the oscillator and an external audio source.

The VM-1 has 7 different oscillator waveforms to choose from and includes a control knob for pulse width. It has audio outputs for the filter and the voice. The VM-1 also has a versatile envelope section, allowing you to control both amplitude and filter envelopes in conjunction or separately. The best thing is, it sounds great."

Rebekah Raff Joins Plan B

via the Plan B list:
"It's with great pleasure I announce that Rebekah Raff will be joining
the Plan B posse effective Monday, replacing the spot vacated by Elias
Angulo who left to pursue other interests.

Rebekah, who studied at CalArts in mid 90s, is an accomplished
harpist and contributor to the esteemed Harry Partch Ensemble. She has performed with Outkast and toured with both Britney Spears and Kanye West. In 2007 she added analog synthesis to her arsenal.

I've had the pleasure, I dare say honor, of working with her for the past year, first with analog synthesis instruction with later efforts focused more in composition. I've pleased to say I've had an effect: She and her boyfriend Andy Kaulkin named their new kitten Mort and their dog Buchla!

As a sidebar here, in the hopes of gaining her approval I have from time to time shown Buchla (she's a gal) my new circuit designs. So far she is unimpressed but I remain hopeful that future efforts will arouse more enthusiasm.

FYI, I recently mentioned this christening to Don Buchla. His comment was striking: "At least I didn't get the cat". No joke!

Anyway, give a greeting to Rebekah. We're pleased to have her wth us.

Digitana Micro Acid Drone in Yellow
"Just a quick message to notify you that I have decided to offer the Micro Acid Drone in yellow as well as the silver, I am currently trialling a different material for the panels, and I made one up today and it looks really nice, the faceplate is still aluminium but has a yellow polymer overlay, also the knobs are yellow and a different type, everything else remains the same."
