Founder of Analogue Systems, Bob Williams, Retires - Systems to Continue

In via Synthtopia, via Amazona.de, it appears Bob Williams of Analogue Systems has retired. There is some good news though. The product range will continue on.

Googlish translation:

"Bob Williams, founder and mastermind of Analogue Systems, retires for age reasons from active business life. But the Modular System will get us thanks to Andreas Schneider.

Bob Williams developed around the same time as Dieter Doepfer, but fully independent and unknowingly from him, an analog modular system in 3U format, which was originally called RS-integrator and was also presented as the A-100 in 1995. The first modules were extracts of the filter bank FB-3, later followed also modules under license by EMS as an octave filter bank, the trapezoid generator and switchable between two circuits EMS filter.

Alex4, the distribution of Andreas Schneider (yes, the one with the spectacular Super Booth on each Musikmesse) has now taken over from Bob Williams the inventory of modules, keyboards and cases. And of course, the product range will be produced, with the exception of some modules for the various components are no longer available..."

The Pollux MiMi-a Polyphonic Synthesizer Resource Page

Some of you might remember the rare Pollux MiMi-a Polyphonic Synthesizer from the demo video posted here and the Synth Gathering Sweden post here. The MiMi-a was a six voice analog polyphonic hardware synthesizer from Ricard Wanderlöf in 1987.

Swissdoc wrote in to let us know he found the resource page for the MiMi-a. According to that page: "The MiMi-a is a microprocessor controlled six-voice multitimbral analog MIDI synthesizer that I built (mostly) during the spring of 1987. That makes it ... wow ... over 20 years ago ...
Each voice is mostly analog; all signal processing is analog, with the envelope generators and LFO's being partly digital, as well as the oscillator front-ends. This makes for a warm analog sound while at the same time retaining digital precision for the envelope and LFO timing, and oscillator frequencies.

Each voice consists of:
Two oscillators, A and B, each with an adjustable range of six octaves, with sawtooth, pulse and square waveforms, as well as combinations of these, as well as two ring-modulator-type waveforms. Oscillator A can be hard-synced to oscillator B.
A combined sub-oscillator/noise generator (oscillator C).
A Moog-type -24dB/octave voltage controlled lowpass filter with voltage controlled resonance.
A linear/exponential VCA.
Three ADSSR envelope generators, one for the filter, one for the VCA and one assignable.
One syncable LFO."

via the seller: "ULTRA RARE Jomox Xbase 09 SE (Special Edition Upgrade) with additional Jazbase 03 EPROM / samples. From X-Tended I received the information that this is the only JOMOX XBASE 09 with JAZBASE 03 UPGRADE they have ever done.(Video: https://youtu.be/FGmM1jknCps)

The vintage analog drum machine was overhauled by X-Tended, the official repair service of Jomox 2011. Total service and upgrade costs with EPROM and new PCBs: 550.- € (see bill in the photo section) !!!

XBase 09 SE was used only in the studio! Killer Analog TR-909 clone with analog kick, analog snare and various 8-bit samples (TR-909, Clap, HH, crash, many different percussion, contains all the original samples from Jomox JazBase 03).

Fantastic Sequencer with Pattern Chain, Individual Steps, individual parameters (eg shuffle) for each step ...
I only sell because I also have the very rare Jazbase 03 :-)

The XBase 09 SE is cosmetically in good condition with slight marks from using (see photos) The red screen protector is slightly curved inwards, but has no effect on the LEDs. but more important, technically the XBase is 09 SE in excellent condition for their age! see pictures and YT video: [above]"

Papernoise Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer Panel Coming to Synthcube

via Papernoise

"You might remember that I started to work on a panel design for the Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer (over a year ago). Unfortunately the project hit several road blocks and I never got around actually making the panel. I tried to get a control PCB made with 3 different people, but each time there were some problems and we had to put things on standby.

The waiting might be over though! Thanks to a guy who goes on the name Barcode on Muff Wiggler we’ll have a control PCB very soon!

Synthcube will be officially selling these and the control PCB:

to tie this all together, we are happy to say that we will be offering the MPS PCBs, kurodama will be designing an aluminum panel using barcode’s panel PCB layout, and we will offer those as well as barcode’s panel PCB and panel! So you’ll have a lot of choices in terms of how to build up your euro MPS!"
