"Pictures of Gakken SX-150 synth and of the magazine that comes with synth.

I recorded some sounds, you can check them on Soundcloud -> [below]"

You can still find these and the Mark2 on eBay. I don't believe the Mark2 comes with the magazine. You can find a video of it in this previous post.

NAMM: MacBeth MICROMAC 1 TEST 1 Video

YouTube Uploaded by macbethsynthesizers on Jan 13, 2012

"Hi there- this is the first *test* of the macbeth micromac- measuring just over a mere 8" wide- it whacks a punch! This is the first demo that I've done of this 3 Oscillator pure analogue synthesizer and on this video- I'm getting to try out a couple of things. Oscillators 1 and 3 have direct outputs to left and right- the filter section has Oscillators, 1, 2 snd 3 pitched 1 octave apart, and a fifth! I guess then I lose the plot and try other things! Anyway- I put up because some folks have wanted to hear it! The micromac is a project that started well over a year ago....and now it is complete! I'm using the all analogue Vortex keyboard to play this thing!"

"this patch has a little oompa-woompa goin on.

Sorry for all the BACK. Nothing like a little BACK to watch..

Anyway, If you can sit through this 5 minutes it develops quite nicely..
I like making chance tonality.. if that makes sense..

techtalk---
a 40106 oscillator is clocking a 4040 divider of which /2 is then clocking a perf board version of the logic from Ken Stone's CGS Master DIvider. those outs are then triggering 4 DS8 drum clones, as well as 3 Oscillators through VCAs. There are also some LFO cutoff controlled filters with different pitched 40106 Osc. all running to mixers then on to a Roland JC-50. Recorded directly through iphone via 8mm app."

SynthMania quick tip #5 - the "Deee-Lite style" house organ chord

A Minimoog D Saved From Fire & Juno the Main Coon Kitten

via Jorge: "This is Juno my new Maine Coon Kitten sitting on my Prized Minimoog D.

A little Background about my Mini.

Almost 2 years ago I got this Mini From Craigslist Virginia, Funny thing though is that the guy that had it happened to go to the same High School I went to in the early 80’s.

He said he got it when he worked at Venamin’s Music in Springfield VA, working as a manager in the 80’s. This Mini Spent most of its life in his Basement studio and survived a fire that burned the entire house down except a closet that was in his basement where the Mini was stored in an Anvil case.

When I got it, It was in fair shape but I was determined to make look and play like new. I had all the electronics restored and had the wood case professionally refinished. I was even able to replace both the Mod & Pitch wheels with NOS from Mike Bucki, he even had an Original Moog sticker from the 70’s that went in the back of the Mini.

All I can say now is that This Mini is one of my favorite synths in my studio it plays and sounds wonderful."

Here are a few pics.

What a sight that would be.

via kent back in 2007: "There was a guy selling a pile of synths and odd drum machine stuff at the MauernPark Flohmarkt (Wall Park Flea Market) in Berlin this last Sunday."

If you're wondering why it took five years to put this up, I changed my email address from the matrixsynth.com domain to gmail years ago.  Some stuff apparently  came in on that old address that I missed.  The previous posts from J chot (1, 2, 3) and makingsound where some of them.  This one should be the last though.  If you have my old matrixsynth.com address still saved, you might want to update it at this point. :)
