Not directly synth related, but I'm curious if anything is assignable.

"Houston Haynes demos SmartAV's large-format touch screen surface mixer controller with Steinberg Nuendo. Part two of two. Call audioMIDI.com at (866) 286-4601 for more info!"

reminds me of the Buchla 700 - similar color scheme

ROLAND SH-5 vintage synthesizer 1976 - HQ sound demo

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Roland SH-5 is one of the best compact monophonic synthesizers from Roland. It has almost everything, that you could wish from a monophonic synth: 2 VCOs, 1 resonant multimode filter (highpass/bandpass/lowpass), 1 bandpass filter, 2 LFOs, Sample & Hold, ring modulator, oscillator synchronisation, noise generator (white and pink noise), ADSR and AR envelopes. Also there is a nice signal mixer with routing capabilities."

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Wow. Here's Stephi tweaking the Gleeman Pentaphonic into the Dirty Boy Bass Bully. The Bass Bully is certainly one of the best sounding bass guitar fuzz pedals ever made.

All Dirty Boy pedals are handmade, using the highest quality, new-old-stock parts. Every pedal's germanium transistors are hand-matched too for the best sounding pedal possible. Oh yeah. The Gleeman sounds pretty good too huh?"

Note the Steiner Parker Synthacon on top of the Fender Rhodes, the EML sequencer, EMS Putney VC3S and ARP 2600. Spot the rest.

Synapse Magazine

I haven't put up a post on Synapse Magazine in a while, so I figured why not put one up. Synapse Magazine was a synth focused magazine from the 1970s. Cynthia (yes, this Cynthia) has scanned several of the issues and made them available for free here. Do check them out. Lots of old analog goodness. You will feel just like Malcolm Cecil of Tonto.
