"Another video with my little Skylab Buchla system. I am playing the 261e from the touch surface. I have a bit of vibrato coming in controlled by pressure on the touch surface. Also, as I slide my finger up the key, it increases the FM from the mod osc and causes the pitch to bend up as well as brighten the sound. I still feel a bit clumsy with it but I love the expressiveness of the 222e touch surface."

"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."

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.
