video upload by DivKid

"Here's something a little different which is sharing in the process of rebranding a Eurorack Modular Synthesizer company. In this case ... DPW Design from Sweden. Dan (DPW) has become a good friend and colleague over the years and I've really wanted a visual identity that stands out as strong as the engineering and electronics design, especially in support of new things coming for DPW in the future. Bringing in Matthew Shaw to the process has been great and led to the rebranding we have here."

2/19/25 Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation + Roland System 100m + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"We sold the Roland System 100 Model 102 synthesizer, the Moog Labyrinth, the Seeburg Rhythm Prince, and a few other things recently, so there a few interesting pieces coming in, like this Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation. We normally purchase Zerosum Inertia products brand new unless they’re discontinued, but this used purchase supported an animal in need. Anyways, this was a first test, mostly just to hear it sizzle and fry, using a Lana 212 VCO through a Roland 121 VCF into the Zerosum VCA, with a Roland 140 envelope driving the VCA CV."
