ADASYNTH Planning New Affordable Modular

via ADASYNTH:

"For the last year I have been busy with many other projects; helping start LSD Programming, developing Mac apps, and now working on a hopeful app for iOS. Oh, and finishing my BS in computer science.

I have had lots of ideas for ADASYNTH, just no time to bring them to life.

This September, I plan on picking this project back up. I would love to share it with my followers and would very much enjoy seeing other people building it and making music with it.

I want to bring you all the cheapest and simplest modular synthesizer possible."

Update: I originally posted this was from the x0xb0x creator. I confused Lady Ada with ADASYNTH thinking it was Lady Ada's private blog (my RSS sub only brought up the individual post). I now remember it is not. Last I checked Ladyada did not have a beard. She runs Adafruit. Sorry folks. Post updated. Huge apologies to Ladyada and ADASYNTH. Still cool news though. I'm looking forward to seeing what ADASYNTH comes up with.

Roland TB-303 Bassline Synth with MidiBass-II Control

via this auction
"The unit is fitted with the Sequentix Midibass-II CPU allowing the user to control the synthesizer section and filter cutoff via midi... The MIDIBass-II board also transmits the notes from the 303's internal sequencer via MIDI, allowing you to capture the unique quality of patterns created through the TB user-interface. Obviously you don't need to use the midi control aspect and when this is unplugged the synth works exact as it would had it not been modified. The MidiBass-II control is ideal for further editing or chaining patterns on a PC or hardware sequencer, pattern backup etc."
