Arturia Origin Review on Synth.nl

"What I loved instantly about the concept of this synthesizer is that it is completely modular. It is a virtual analog synthesizer. So emulating analog synthesizers. Arturia put in all the components that they developed in their software the last years and you can combine them as you please. So you can take a Minimoog oscilator and run it through a CS80 filter, but you can add and hookup modules however you want. So you can create very complex sounds with it. And does it sound like a real CS80, Minimoog, Prophet5, ARP2600 or Jupiter 8? No of course not! Nothing beats the real thing but they come pretty close. And it is not emulating these machines that I want to do with it. I want to create unique new sounds. The hands on controls make it very easy to work with." Read the full review on Synth.nl

Juno-60 - Gypsy Synth Resurrected

flickr set by fibra
"This is my Juno-60 bought from a Gypsy at local flea market in not so perfect physical condition. Some keys are not working and are burned by cigarette, some pots and buttons are busted too. To restore it it would take pretty much time and money so I decided to resurrect it. In order to be born again one should die. So I started to dismantle it. I will mount it in completely new case with new buttons, LEDs and roto pots and most important for me, I`ll MIDIfy it! : )

It will take alot of work but I it will worth it."

Another synth saved.
