"A quick walk through of our new and improved location in Long Island City, Queens (NYC). We are now fully set up in our expanded workshop and back to restoring classic vintage synths.

At the present time, we have been working on:

A Rhodes Chroma (with Syntech MIDI) that's been fully refurbished with a new power supply, and all voice cards rebuilt and passing tune. This is currently for sale through The Analog Lab. Please contact us for details.

Several CS80s in for repair and upgrade kit installation.

A VCS3 that's had tuning stability and CV input mods installed.

A PS3200 that's had all its edge connectors replaced and rewired.

An OB-Xa that's had its voice cards repaired and our Analog Lab tuning stability mods installed.

A Jupiter 8 that's had extensive motherboard repair and a MIDI kit installed.

A Hammond B2 in for voicing regulation and additional Leslie speaker output.

We also have a Korg Polysix and Moog MG-1 for sale coming soon, as well as several other synths TBA.

As always, we are more than happy to help you get your vintage analog gear back to 100%. Please don't hesitate to get in touch!"

An Homage to the Clef CMS - Synthesiser for the BBC Micro

via Ben G in the comments of this post: "I just uploaded my homage to this forgotten masterpiece. :-)"

Find it here

"This was my first synthesiser. It seems now to have all but disappeared from history, so I thought I'd put together some info on it while it still works.

Clef Electronic Music produced various music technology products back in the early 1980s, including the B30 synthesiser and a drum machine.

Another of their products was the Clef CMS, a synthesiser designed for use with the BBC Micro. It was available in two versions, one smartly finished and one in a more basic DIY form."

Steve Reich - Piano Phase (played on two Groovesizers)

Published on Oct 29, 2013

"Steve Reich's Piano Phase as played on two Groovesizers.

Why? Because I was introduced to the piece in music class in a high school in Germany as an exchange student in 1991 and had heard nothing like it before. Over the years as I've been making with computers, the piece has kept bugging me for the fact that it's not as easy to reproduce with digital music machines as you would assume. Sequencers and synths seem to want to be either perfectly in sync, or not at all with none of the middle ground required to perform Piano Phase. Since I started working on this project, it's been a personal goal to find a way to enable phasing in general, and specifically a performance of Piano Phase, on the Groovesizers. I think I can finally move on!

For the techincally inclined, the Groovesizers are running Alpha firmware, v102. The (naked) Groovesizer on the right is slaved to the one on the left via MIDI sync. The slaved Groovesizer expects 6 MIDI clock pulses before moving to the next 16th note (assuming 24ppq). By pressing shift-R and F6, the slave is nudged ahead of the master by adding an extra pulse (it can also be nudged in the opposite direction by subtracting a pulse with shift-R and F5). After 6 nudges, the patterns align again with the slave now a 16th note ahead of the master."

Full gallery on Facebook here. That's Dan Green of 4ms above. I saw him at the MMTA SYNTHFEST on Saturday in Seattle. He mentioned his new Modular Row Modules (latching, stackable eurorack cases) that meet carry-on baggage demensions and testing them out on his flight that night. I didn't realize he was flying out to the TRASH_AUDIO event at Mountain Oasis on Sunday! That's dedication right there. I wish I could have joined him!
