MATRIXSYNTH Fridge with Elvis & New York School of Synthesis Mods

Top knob controls the amount of Elvis, and the bottom controls the amount of the New York School of Synthesis power. What they do to my food is anyone's guess. :)

The knobs are actually magnetic knobs courtesy of synthesizers.com.

Below are a couple of pics of Roger Arrick's synthesizers.com business card next to their latest product guide. Apologies for the crinkles - it was an unfortunate victim of the local post office. Regarding the card, take a look at it assembled in the bottom image. How cool is that? The card is scored so it is easy to fold. BTW, you can pick up the cover of the guide as a puzzle as well as the knobs at the synthesizers.com gifts a goodies shop. The knobs are top quality. They are fitted with a magnet underneath.

Update: for those that saw this post before this update, the knobs are available here.

New Metzger Tech Archimedes Eurorack Module Intro

Published on Jul 12, 2016 Metzger Tech

"The first Metzger Tech module, Archimedes is a Bipolar Dynamic Signal Manipulator, or BDSM for short. I just finished the layout tonight, and should be firing off the prototype by the end of the week. I am currently designing my launch modules with some engineering help from Mr. Tim Ressel at Circuit Abbey. I hope to have some audio and video to share here in the next month or so. Things will be quiet here for a bit, but hopefully not for long."

Laurentide SynthWorks Closing Up Shop

This is unfortunate news. It appears Laurentide SynthWorks is closing shop. They provided a number of DIY services and finished products for those that might not have the time or skills to DIY themselves. Their most recent product list included eurorack DIY, the Mutable Instruments Shruthi and Ambika, and a highly modified Moog Werkstatt.

via Laurentide SynthWorks:

"​Hi all,

I have been thinking on this for quite some time and have finally come to the decision to hang up Laurentide SynthWorks.

The batch of Shruthi/Ambika that was just shipped to Modular Addict is the last batch that I will be doing. I will be putting together one more run of VG2 kits together that will also be available at Modular Addict, after that I will be discontinuing it as well as the PRM2.

I also have an unreleased module with full kits already assembled. Those will be for sale at Knobcon in September.

I did not come to decision easily and it took me about 6 months to finally say I'm done. It wasn't easy to come to terms with, but the reality of it is that it was getting way to difficult juggling family and a demanding day job. Plus, the passion was fading and it was feeling more like a regular job, which is not at all why I started it in the 1st place.

I want to thank everyone for being supportive and totally awesome. I have met a lot of great people over the years and made a ton of new friends. I'll still remain active in the scene, just no longer as a manufacturer.

Thanks again and I hope to see you at Knobcon one last time.

Space Bumps Online 3D Synth App

via DreamPipe

"Space Bumps is an audio visual app for generating experimental arpeggios and ambient landscapes. The synth engine is (very) loosely based on the famous sounds of the Yamaha’s DX7. The sounds produced are then analysed and turned into 3d landscapes.

Features:
Change arp transpose using asdf..etc keys
Lo fi FM synthesis and echo, reverb and chorus effects
Record and export audio output to wav
Save patterns / patches
Share saved patterns to twitter / fb

Tips:
Turn attack to zero, tempo to 200+ and reverb to 100 to get ambient/spacey pads
Disable visualisation to improve performance

Have fun!" https://www.chromeexperiments.com/experiment/space-bumps
