Today is the 9th anniversary of MATRIXSYNTH! It's hard to believe it's been nine years already. The site has had over 42,299,515 page views from 19,198,250 visits. This marks post 113370. Every single post has gone up by hand. What goes up is a combination of what I find out there and what people send in. The site currently averages between 40 and 50 posts a day and only one day was missed at the launch of the site back when I didn't expect there to be something to post every single day of the year.
Anyway, I'm keeping this post short this year. I almost didn't post anything, but I thought I should at least mention the date.
Thank you everyone! Running the site has been a great experience. I love promoting "Everything Synth" and giving a voice and an audience for us die hard synth fans.
Update via Bobby Shipe on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge along with some anniversary wishes from the group:
"AS Telemark-K/Doepfer DarkEnergy Birthday song. One of my favorite websites turned 9 today so I made a Happy Birthday song with some synthesizers."
So awesome! THANK YOU!!!

Roland Jupiter 6 Analog Synthesizer in Fantastic Condition
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Even after almost 30 years, it looks as if it's 1985 and it just came off the assembly line not too long ago. The top is Super CLEAN, always kept covered by the leather cover when not in use to limit dust build up. It has been owned and played by a keyboard lover because there are practically no signs of use (see pics for details) apart from a few tiny marks. The same can't be said about the other Jupiter's on ebay, which show 30 years of ABUSE.
This "doll" is almost 30 years young and is ready for another 30 years. No tuning instability problems! NO service of any kind or repair needed - 100% perfect working order and it is ready for a stage or studio! BUY IT NOW - BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES!
This is a RARE OPPORTUNITY to own one of the best synthesizers ever made. It still has the original protective film on the serial # plate."
