"Something for your 6th year. :) Its a fake synth I made from reject parts when I worked at Oberheim in the mid 1980s. Front is from an OB8, keyboard from a Matrix 6, rear panel from a Matrix 12. I still have it buried somewhere in my garage. As the caption says it was the front cover of my first album, which will be re-released later this year on vinyl."

Update: Now on vinyl:

Synth prototyping cont. (Make #Zero) - Digi synth with analog filter and LFO

YouTube Uploaded by yakthekyle on Jul 20, 2011

"Further progress on a digital synth project that I plan to start producing very soon. The synth will be reprogrammable from any computer and the code can be easily bent or created from scratch. It also has an LFO controlled analog resonant lowpass filter to fatten up the sound (also circuit bendable) . This project will be COMPLETELY open source (schematics, code, everything) once I get everything organized."

via this auction

See Big City Music (RSS) for more.

"The sleepdrone 6 is a hex oscillator analog drone machine.

The sleepdrone 6 creates aggressive fighter bomber drones smothering all matter within audible range into a brutality harmonic meditation.

The knobs connect to invisible rope pulleys that harness the tension of energy from above. Also, the ropes are connected to the wings of flying craft. At the end of the ropes there are hooks. These hooks steal sound vibrations from the air and turn them into terror. The terror is then conveyed into packets of energy. These packets of energy are commanded by the sleepdrone 6

Features:

6 analog square wave oscillators
6 volume controls
6 on/off controls
Master volume mono out

Please note: This unit requires a standard 9 volt DC wall wart with a negative(-) center (not included)."
