"Heralded as hands-down the best virtual analog synths ever made. It offers truly traditional yet modern methods of analog synthesizing, 10 notes of polyphony, 8 knobs for tweaking, and an arpeggiator with dozens of inspiring patterns! This one can go deep so it is probably not for synthesis newbies!"

""I have compiled a couple of starter system packages for the enthusiasts who wish to just get started without making a lot of choices.
I have a version with a MIDI/Cv converter and a version without the MIDI but, it is replaced with a front panel power control and a Utility 1 module. Technically, my thoughts were that one system can be utilized for tonal creations while the other can be used for the more allegoric desires.
But, hey, they're modulars...You can do whatever you want :)
Choices for each system are either a horizontal or a vertical case format and, a choice of Maple or walnut for the case material. Walnut costs $15.00 more than the maple.
The systems are similar to my original basic system configuration from four years ago with the following changes:
Two VCO's instead of one. (second VCO replaced the Glide module) The newer Voltage Controlled Dual LFO in place of the non VC LFO. A 4-channel Voltage Controlled Mixer in place of the manual 4-channel Mixer.
The total cost of the packaged systems are both about $200.00 less than purchasing all of the components individually.

"This is an early render of "Trouble", one of the live PA tracks in my august 20th live show at Open Studios, Vancouver. The original footage is public domain from archive.org. all the music and video is triggered in realtime using Ableton, jp8080, A-station, and Midividgpu."
via Lace of CanMARC "The live rig consists of a laptop running Ableton/APC40, a rack case containing JP- 8080 , A-station, Supernova2, the Canmarc XOXbox, and a custom video PC with a gtx560 gaming card running midi controlled video (Midividgpu) software with it's audio output going through a boss re-20.
Although I have the edirol m-16dx mixer, I'm just using it at as an audio interface and all the hardware synths are mixed in Ableton, using the session view and dummy clips controlled by the APC40.
Everything is triggered via midi in realtime including all the audio and video clips, and the whole thing is mixed live audio and video the way I'll be doing it onstage august 20th at Open studio here in Vancouver BC. I hope you enjoy it."
More funky video, this time manually tweeking the MVIP and the Synth Tech E560 Deflector shield set on frequency shifting. Casio VZ-1 and VZ-8M drones, ES-1 mkII boat horn sound, ER-1 mkII drums."
via Bleep Labs "We’re proud to announce our newest device, The PAL198X.
This limited edition mini analog synthesizer is based on the Pico Paso with a few modifications designed by Dr. Bleep and Alan Palomo of Neon Indian. The biggest addition are swappable controls which allow you to easily attach the included potentiometers or photocells (or a number of other devices we’ll post about later) in any configuration to the three oscillators to create all kinds of triangle wave chaos.
- Two triangle wave oscillators which can be activated independently or together, modulating each other. - Square LFO which affects the amplitude of both triangle oscillators. - 1/4″ out. - Screw terminals allow any resistive device to control the pitch of the three oscillators. - 9v battery powered.
Only available in the limited edition Era Extraña package from Neon Indian.
This one in via Scott who spotted the new Neon Indian release on Pitchfork:
"Alan Palomo on the PAL198X: 'It can interact with a variety of objects around your house whether electronic in nature or not. It can even interact with your pet.'...
The synth (named PAL198X, of course) was produced by Bleep Labs, who teamed up with Palomo to create a miniature version of their PicoPaso analog synth with modifications added by Palomo and Bleep. We'll let Alan take over the description of what this thing actually is:
'We teamed up with our brethren homies in Austin, Bleep Labs, to proudly bring you the PAL 198X. It's a triple triangle-wave oscillator noisemaking device with interchangeable controls for maximal sonic contortion. You can attach knobs, light-reactive photocells, and a variety of other devices for semi-modular capabilities. It can interact with a variety of objects around your house whether electronic in nature or not. It can even interact with your pet. It does not make the same sound twice. Basically, I want you to hack this fucking thing.'"
Update: BTW, if this reminds you of anything, it might be the SuONOIO from Alessandro Cortini and Scott Jaeger of The Harvestman. The SuONOIO was released with Alessandro's SONOIO album. Recently a new SuONOIO RED was announced. It makes you wonder how many unique synths came from this direct of an influence from a musician. The Gristleizer from Throbbing Gristle of course comes to mind.
