"I got my first Moog 30 years ago. And here I am, still using the real thing on 'The Dark Knight Rises'. The bass pinning you to your seat in the movie is all thanks to Dr. Bob Moog's brilliant design.

Happy Birthday Dr. Bob!"

Homebrew step sequencer, "Stepper Acid"

via Zoë

"My partner (Nina, who took this picture last year: http://m.matrixsynth.com/2011/12/idow-matrixsynth-modular-pic-of-week_26.html ) and myself have started work on building an acidline step sequencer together. It's in the early prototype stages at the moment, so there's no interface, just a preset pattern, but it's already starting to sound pretty good hooked up to our Doepfer! The project is open source, for both hardware and software, so anybody can see how it works and cannibalise it into their own open source projects.

How it looks: pictured
