Cynthia/Cyndustries Programmer As Sequencer -Basic-
YouTube Uploaded by shaft9000 on Mar 6, 2012
"A single row of the Programmer is pulsed up&down by Cyndustries Rhythmic Divider. Programmer patches to itself for reset before specific step is reached. Modcan 3vco acts as straight clock. Pulses fire Modcan quadEG to modulate Modcan 48dB LPF, and another channel to send to Modcan 4vca.
Output of Programmer goes through Modcan Dual Quantizer, out to Wiard anti-oscillator 1V/oct input for pitches.
Anti-oscillator is the only audio source; into 48dB/oct LPF. bypassing any audio vca.
quadLFO to vca to quantizer transpose and inverter, also to anti-osc's PWM CV input."

I Dream of Wires Announces New Film on Early Days of Synthesis
The I Dream of Wires Team has launched round three of their IndieGoGo campaign. Included in the new campaign are details on a follow-up documentary:
"Right from the start of this project, one of the questions hanging over us has been: 'How are we going to condense all of this amazing footage, these interviews, this subject matter, into a 90 to 120-minute documentary?'
Early on, we made a decision to focus the film, not on the history of modular synthesizers, but on the current resurgence of modular synthesizers. At the same time, we knew that by doing so we would not be able to take full advantage of some of the interviews and footage that we had already filmed; we felt strongly that our interviews with seminal early modular musicians and synthesists like Morton Subotnick, Bernie Krause, Bill Maginnis and Ramon Sender should not be reduced to mere establishing soundbites. Not only that - we are also wildly enthusiastic about both the history, *and* the resurgence of modular synthesizers!
So ultimately, what we have decided to do is to make two films: First, all of our efforts will be directed towards completing 'I Dream of Wires,' which will focus strictly on the resurgence of modular synthesizers. Following the completion of 'I Dream of Wires,' we will begin work on a follow up film, title TBA, about the early days of analog synthesizers, focusing on pioneering designers, manufacturers and musicians, including Robert Moog, Don Buchla, Raymond Scott, Hugh LeCaine, Wendy Carlos, and Morton Subotnick, right through to the rock, pop, disco and new wave musicians that made these instruments famous throughout the '70s and early-'80s.
Regarding 'I Dream of Wires': we are aiming to conclude filming before summer 2012, with a fall/winter 2012 ETA for the completed film.
Regarding the follow-up, historical documentary: we are already well on our way with this film, as so many of the interviews we have filmed seem tailor-made for a film like this. After the completion of 'I Dream of Wires,' we will dive right into the follow up, initially seeking out additional people to interview on the subject, complementing the footage that we already have amassed. It's still early days, but at this time we are going to estimate a fall/winter 2013 ETA for the completion of this follow up film."

CWEJMAN S1 MK II SYNTHESIZER, PEARL-WHITE
via this auction"Traditionally made in a standard depressing military-type green color, this one is a gorgeous egg-shell or pearl white. It is hard to appreciate from a picture how beautiful this instrument really is... If you are looking up this auction, it means you know about this baby, but let me remind you anyway: it has 3 VCO's, an LFO, a mixer, a RM, a dual multi-mode filter, 2 EG's and a dual VCA. It is normalled in the traditional vco-vcf-vca fashion, but has patch points which can override the internal wiring, for true modular configuration. Comes with manual and original box. It runs for $3599 new"
