Online Modular Planner by Stefan Breitenfeld

"Hello everybody at the synthesizer front! :-)

Here we go!
The all-new Modular Planner v1.1, which is a complete redesign of the (ancient?) original version, is now finally available. The most important changes are:
- new design & improved usability (at least I hope so)
- forum included
- mostly MSIE-compatible
- Google maps with dealer and manufacturer locations (to be extended, make suggestions!)
- first multi-manifacturer version (thanks to all of you for your support)
- exchange rates loaded directly from ECB
- patch drawing engine (beta).

The planner can be found at http://www.stefanbreitenfeld.com/modularplanner/.

Enjoy it and feel free to link to it, report bugs and module updates, contribute images, patches & experience and make suggestions for further improvements!

All the best from Austria!
Stefan Breitenfeld"

Experimental Tribute

Experimental Tribute from Chris Carter on Vimeo.

"This is a brief tribute I made to the experimental work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop who recently staged a performance in London, that I couldn't attend. All the sounds and loops originate from the BC8 synth, the Gakken SX-150 synth and the BugBrand Weevil synths. All the effects and processing is done with the Boss pedals. Oh yeah... and I did the whole thing 'upside down'."
