Someone make a multi-channel sequencer for this.

MOTM-650 four-channel MIDI interface and Encore UEG-01 Universal Event Generator

via Sequence 15 where you'll find the full write-up on the MOTM-650 and the Encore Electronics UEG-01 Universal Event Generator.

"Each channel converts a MIDI Note On/Off pair to a control voltage representing pitch, an envelope gate, a control voltage representing velocity, and a fourth output which can be associated with a MIDI control number. The pitch CV reacts and responds to MIDI pitch wheel messages also."

"So what is a universal event generator? It's an expansion and generalization of the concept of an envelope generator. We tend to think of a conventional ADSR envelope generator as having four phases, but it's really only three, and we only have full control over one of the three..."

New Livid Instruments Block Construction

via Livid

"Improving on a design and sharing the results with our users is always at the top of our list at Livid. The Block controller has been a great success and we have just made some minor design changes to make it even better. Originally milled from a solid block of wood, the square body with thin bottom has had its challenges, mostly warping and cupping. We have experienced a bit higher reject rate for bodies at the shop before they were built then we would like. Thus, the up and coming stash of rejected bodies in the Livid Graveyard that were never meant to be!"

"Terrible picture and I go on a bit - but hear me out, if you love synths you should appreciate it.

Analogue Preservation © is a 12x16inch book based on the design and ergonomics of the analogue synthesizer. It was shot on a Hasselblad phase on for optimum detail. The idea and realization was a collection of synths that reveal all the specifications in the photograph rather then being listed in text.

The book and idea is complete and copy written.
I'm in talks with a few publishers but they are not really known for this sort of book, so if you like it and know someone - here are some links - it has better quality examples and one high rez section example

First encounter with the Maestro Echoplex

YouTube via RothHandle
"Yesterday was a short good day in the studio...Mattias Puttonen (a fellow Mellotron geek) came by and lent me his Maestro Echoplex. A great old tape echo and these short films are just me messing about and being blown away be this remarkable piece of equipment. This will without doubt become a staple in the Roth Händle sound.

This film was recorded at Roth Händle studos in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days recording and producing artists...The studio started in my apartment and evolved slowly from there. This is the forth location of the studio. The first one obviously was at home...the second and third was at a abandoned shipyard outside of Stockholm. The studio works more or less in two ways either the artists come here to the studio or people send files that I work with...If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, blogs and odd facts. Oh yes and now I am on facebook too with a dedicated roth händle site...I dont know how to link to it but you people are all so internet smart so you can find...if you want to.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias"
