"Sorry for the video quality. I don't have a tripod anymore so I had to use my webcam. So here's another DS-10 performance. I actually have a bunch of these, I just don't put them up very often. So enjoy and let me know what you think!

Represent pink DS!"

"On October 4th I travelled with a good friend towards Seattle to an unmarked home, somewhere in the back of the home is this room where all sorts of amazing electronic instruments are brought to life.... Here is the Maker, jamming for a moment. Oh and when I zoom over to all the Mattson Mini Modulars, those are all being used for what you're hearing as well :D"

New Bleep Labs Da Funk in the Works

via Bleep Labs on Facebook which only states: "Soon!"

No word on what this is.  I'm assuming that's a sawtooth waveform after the "da" and not an "m".

New Richter Oscillator II Coming from Malekko & Giveaway

via Malekko on Facebook

"A MODULE GIVEAWAY? FINALLY!

It might seem like we've been ignoring the synth community, but, uh, you're wrong! We've been working on crazy, missile command-type stuff. Yeah, that's right! Really. Top secret. So don't ask if our digits have blisters…

Anyway, we are giving away a brand-new product! Unlike our last giveaway, this one will be fresh off the line, made one or two days before sending off to the lucky winner.

OK- it's an Oscillator II!

Yes, it's the Richter Oscillator II euro-rack module, featuring the cleanest waveforms in the business!
Built in Portland, OR, the Richter Oscillator II retains all the hallmarks of the original Wiard Oscillator yet includes the new TRI 2 output's super-clean wave and a push-button LFO switch! Refinements on the original are certain to make it a fan favorite across the globe!

Drawing entry is automatic when you share this post on your timeline with all the nerds in your life and "like" this page! The winner will be randomly selected from all entrants on Thursday, December 13th and posted via this Facebook page."

Grant Richter is the man behind Wiard.

via this auction

"It was completely serviced and refurbished in autumn 20012:

- All 6 Voice-Filter-ICs 80017A and all 3 Wave-Generator-ICs MC5534A were replaced by the perfect clones of AnalogueRenaissance.

- All 34 tactical switches on the front panel were replaced by new ones.

- All 16 faders on the frontp panel were replaced by new ones.

- New VOLUME potentiometer.

- New back-up batterie.

- All keyboard contacts were cleaned.

- The whole unit was cleaned and the front panel was polished.

- Calibrated to the specifications of the service manual.

- Loaded with the original Sound-Set.


This JUNO is technically in extreme good conditions and it is prepared to work for many years. With the new voice chips there is no risk for dead voices (which is a well-known problem) and there sound is at least as good as the sound of the original chips. Because of the service there is no worry about jumping voice parameters, bad keyboard action, non-function of switches, cranckling VOLUME pot... Just play and enjoy it!"
