Pictured: custom Buchla style case:
"I have always loved the look of the Buchla 200e folding case….but my true affinity is for Serge panels. So I decided to DIY a Buchla-style case for my DIY Serge panels.

First off, here are the boats I am using as they are cheap and readily available (you can get them here: mcmelectronics )"

" bottom: starting to peel "*Carefully* peel back the upper film, which will hold the upper contact of each switch." Note some Pro-Ones have j-wire mechanisms instead where pressing a key raises a metal wire that makes contact with a metal bar to trigger a note.

Tom Oberheim SEM Update

See the third update by fotomoog in this post.

Free Polymoog Sample Pack via Hollow Sun

You can find the download on Hollow Sun here.

"The featured download is a truly excellent set of samples of the Strings 1 and 2 presets taken from a genuine PolyMoog Keyboard by Joeri Peeters.

This FreePack is available in three formats - Kontakt 3, Akai S5/6000 and Fusion. The K3 version should be compatible with the new Kontakt Player 3.5 and the S5/6000 version is also compatible with MPC5000V2, MPC4000 and Z4/8 and some soft samplers.

The K3 and Fusion versions have complementary effects assigned to them to augment the sound and the K3 version is also 'themed' in the style of the original instrument."

Be sure to see Hollow Sun for more including PPG, Oberheim M1000, Yamaha FS1R, and KORG M0/1 samples.

iPhone (iPod Touch): an Experiment in Noise Part 1

YouTube via onacSoftware
"Just having fun with our synth trio, megasynth, minisynth and thereminator. Live do-as-you-go direct to the mixer. The picture was so effed up that it looked better putting grain on it. Think part 2 has the better picture. Not for the faint hearted."

iPhone (and iPod Touch): an Expriment in Noise Part 2

"2nd half of bulltwaddle, with indeed better picture. Again, live feed into the mixer via 4 channels; stereo out to rec board. Some plate reverb fx on select tracks, mostly mixed in on the deed as necessary. Again, not for the faint hearted."

DX5 playing Pet Shop Boys "Domino Dancing"

YouTube via DX5.

"First PSB track that I cover. Everything (searching sounds, assigning to the Emax, recording the backtrack, etc) was done in half an afternoon. As I started to record late at night, I didn't rehearsal more than twice, so there are some mistakes on the lead part (JX-8P).

No sample sound from the original song. All Emax samples are from my libraries (even the orchestal Hit, I realized I have got exactly the same they used for the track).

Gear:
Roland JX-8P
Emu Emax
Kurzweil PC1x."
