Published on Sep 9, 2015 Ace Waters

"I am playing through Final Fantasy VI finally, and I got some major inspiration from the music from the town Narshe. Every time I end up there I just have to stop and take in the music. Had Peter of Soundole VGM Covers help me out with the jazzy leads. I hope you enjoy!"

Published on Sep 9, 2015 tiergrinder

"I brought my Jupiter Clone to Synamiitti (Synth meet) 2015 in Turku Finland, and recorded some videos while people where testing out the JP clone.

Sorry for the poor quality audio and shaky cam. Videos are shot with Iphone and I recorded audio with portable audio recorder. Levels were bit off so there is some clipping."

"Reamped Drums is based on a series of recording sessions with Bombastik Drum Recordings, using the most exquisite vintage drum sets, amps and mics: Orange & Craviotto, Marshall and Neumann, to name just a few. If you want your Analog Rytm to punch, squeal and sizzle – old school studio style – this pack is for you. Along with the 142 samples, you get 16 demo patterns, 16 kits and some scene and performance macros thrown in for good measure."

"EON is an envelope, oscillator, and noise source in 2 HP.
It has three modes that are quickly and easily set via a 3 position switch.

Although its functionality is multifaceted, the EON can be a full fledged envelope with linear and exponetional shapes, a square wave oscillator that tracks 1 volt per octave, or a digital noise source with downsample control.

In addition to the three main functions, the EON also has a triangle wave LFO, random gates, and cycling envelopes.

Packing more features per HP than any other module before, the EON is the best way to fill any empty spot in your case.

- Envelope with linear and exponential shapes

- Square wave oscillator that tracks 1 volt per octave

-Oscillator pitch tracking can be 1 volt per octave or quantized to semitones.

- Digital noise with downsample control

- Random gates

- 2 HP"

We got our first peek at EON back at Winter NAMM.

New Pic of the Vintage Eight Voice Analog Moog SL-8

This one spotted on reddit by Soviet Space Child.

Via the reddit thread: "This is an actual picture taken last week, not just gear porn."

Followed by: "It's the prototype for the Moog SL8 (1983). The story goes, Moog brought this to NAMM 83 as an 8 voice polyphonic synth, a follow up to the Memory Moog (which btw has the fattest Osc's I might have ever heard). They brought the cards for the SL8 to NAMM in a 'cardboard box' and this was placed below the SL8 for performance during NAMM. After NAMM the cardboard box containing the cards was lost or misplaced and all the remains is the body. The PolyMoog can be a nightmare, but this is due to the body warping. The plastic container was reinforced on certain later revs (If memory serves correct), but early models suffer a twisting frame and thus damage to the cards. We have a PolyMoog in the collection. I could post a pic on a later date of it. I use the Memory Moog as a go to, the PolyMoog doesn't get as much use as it should."

"Yes. I am the Technical Director of the Audities Foundation. The purpose of the collection is to make sound and art with sonic artifacts This is one of the rarest synths around, but unfortunately lost to time."

You'll find some previous posts featuring the SL-8 here. See this post for some pics and a video from Audities, and this post for specs.
