projects -
Basic kit: Mini Space Rockers (ericarcher.net)
Advanced kit: Autonomous Bassline Generator (4ms pedals)

The workshop was full. About 30 people built the basic kit, and about 20 built the advanced kit. Treasure City Thrift had a table of choice retro electronics for sale. After all the kits were built, we plugged in to the PA and partied until the amp overheated."

"Put together a couple patterns on the 505 the other night so I decided to record a slowed down session with them. There's a couple screw ups and I had to cut it short because I screwed up using Mega Mix :-) but still thought it sounded okay. Also threw in some of my favorite 505 RPS presets."

Rhodes Chroma Pressure Sensor Retrofit Kit

"Yet another addition to the repertoire of accessories for the Rhodes Chroma Synthesizer thunk up by members of the mailing list! Polyphonic Keyboard Pressure or After Touch along with key velocity offers the ultimate in keyboard synthesizer modulation, nuance and expressiveness. I never understood why so few synthesizers have it, but now you can have it in your Rhodes Chroma!"
