Some fun trivia: For those wondering what Muff Wiggler is, Muff's Forum has become THE forum for boutique modular gear. Users and manufacturers are active on the forum and many manufactures have their own sub-forums. It is run by Mike McGrath and originally started as a blog back on November 23rd of 2006. The first time I announced Muff Wiggler was back on December 4th, 2006 in this post. Prior to that I put up two posts featuring Mike, one on July 10th, 2006 and one on July 18th, 2006. Note in the modular world there are boutique manufacturers that sell pre-assembled modules, some that sell both modules and kits, and then those that design modules and provide schematics and instructions for the DIY crowd. I think the crown for the longest/oldest running company would be PAiA, who just started selling module kits again. Note Muff's forum has a DIY section, however the bulk of DIY seems to be on the electro-music.com forums along with probably the biggest Clavia Nord Modular forum.

Archangel prototype #2 [HEFTY FINE]

YouTube via donaldjasoncrunk. via Mr. Array: "new Archangel sequencer/controller video by way of STG Soundlabs" Update/Clarification via donaldcrunk in the comments: "matrix: this is _not_ an STG soundlabs product, it is a Detachment 3 engineering product. we're just testing it and seeing what we can break, so the end user doesnt have to" I'll keep the label for the association, but note this is Detachment 3 Engineering. I also created a new label for Detachment.

video description:
"a little noise riot with the Archangel prototype and a micromoog (aka maternitymoog). the touchplate keyboard is more than suitable for this kind of sonic terror, and combined with the integrated sequencer it will tear off your ears and eat them on a triscuit. save your coins, you're going to want one. watch for this product soon from Detachment 3 Engineering, or go fuck yourself. your choice."
