"Demo of a home-brew synth I built in the nineties from the excellent R.A.Penfold book 'Electronic Synthesiser Construction'.
It's a single VCO affair with an OTA based 12db/oct state variable VCF.
The sequence is from a x0xb0x controlling the synth over CV/Gate.
I'm selling it on eBay and the video has been posted to highlight a number of faults the synth has like the fact the LFO no longer functions, the tuning wanders and some of the controls are a bit flaky. Will prob leave it up on youTube after the auction for historical interest."

This one is currently listed here.

IDOW & MATRIXSYNTH Modular Pic of the Week - Week 28 Contest Winner!

"Our twenty-eighth winner of the Modular Pic of the Week contest goes to Edmund Klaus (photo credit ChinasArt Photography), for this untitled photo.

Edmund Klaus (Monobot) is a producer/composer from Karlsruhe, Germany. Monobot experiments with, and modifies synthesizers, modulars, sequencers, and software in search of the perfect live setup. The goal is to sequence and create music completely live with sound generated mostly through analog gear. This suitcase is part of the concept.

We'd like to give a big thanks and congratulations to Edmund Klaus and ChinasArt Photography for their submission!
