Micromac-d casebuild

Micromac-d casebuild by macbeth synthesizers
"Whilst fitting up the Micromac-D for test within the casing that I’ve been given a sample of…I tested the unit for sound- It’s sounding fabulous! I couldn’t resist recording this track. I plugged the CV OUT into the Voltage in of LFO2. LFO2 is set to a ramp wave. LFO1 is set to S&H and it’s sampling LFO2 as it’s sample source. LFO1 is gating the synthesizer. What you hear from the start is Oscillator 1 and 3 in the left and right channels direct into the right and left. The filtered synthesiser mix is brought up shortly after. Resonance is pretty high here adding some real squelchyness! This has been recorded as a one take direct into my Fostex FD-8. Also used for the echo is an ART LTX preset reverb/echo unit…fascinating sounds…completely analogue and olde school!"

Update: a few more pics with the overlays on have been added. I wonder if they are meant to be used to mark settings with a dry erase marker.

what do you think would happen if there were no classical computers?
just knobs, potentiometers, some small lcds, blinking leds and a bundle of wires that carries the sound.
we couldn't sleep this night so we tripped away."

Rare Black Prototype Akai VX-90

"Akai VX-90 Very Rare Rack Mount Midi Module. This is a very rare piece of gear. It is the the prototype of the cream 2 rack unit VX-90 that went into production. An easier user interface for programming then the production model. I don't think you'll see too many of these around, I've never come across another one in over 20 years. Definitely one for the collectors."

Driftwood Synthesizer - Taking Synths & Wood to a Whole New Level

via Digilog.tw on Facebook

非常好奇這樣的樂器會發出什麼樣的聲音？蟬叫？落葉聲？

Googlish:

"Such instruments are very curious what the sound will be issued? Cicadas called? Deciduous sound?"

Not quite driftwood yet actually, but there you have it.
