Catching up with Sequencer.de
I've been wondering what happened to Moogulator's Sequencer.de as I haven't been getting any new posts on my bloglines feed. Moogulator asked me to update his link directly to sequencer.de. For some reason I didn't make the connection that the blog feed might change as well, so... I missed quite a bit. Title link takes you to Sequencer.de. Check it out. There are quite a few posts including the Dewtron synthesiser Apollo A1 + Gipsy. Gotta like that. : )

Oberheim OB8 Demo
Title link takes you to the sample by WhinyLittleRunt on a VSE thread. I also saved it here for when the post disappears.

New XPander Sides by James R. Coplin

Via James R. Coplin on AH:
"I have been annoyed that my Xpander has to sit flat and takes up a bunch of
valuable horizontal surface in my studio. I do have extra vertical space so
I though it would be great to make some new sides for the Xpander so that it
could "stand up".
You can see the results here:

Works perfectly! I made mine out of 1/4 sawn white oak and finished with a
Mission style / Stickley finish. The color is pretty much exact to my
original sides. The stainless screws are just temporary until the black
hardware arrives!

Since I know people are going to ask, yes I will make these for folks and
they are super easy to install. The price is $75 plus shipping for standard
hardwood (oak, maple, etc.). If you want some funky colors, it's not a
problem but will run an additional $16 for the dye. You can see the
available color options at:

The color on mine is the Dark Mission Brown. The red desk you see in the
picture is the Bright Red dye.
This is not a chump finish either, it is a traditional oil finish with hand
cut shellac and a hand oil rub out. The look and feel is silky and perfect.
I can make these out of more exotic or highly figured wood as pretty much
anything is available to me but expect about a $25 additional charge
depending on the wood you are interested in. I can also make standard
Xpander sides if you just want to spice up your Xpander or replace a beat
set on your current. The price is the same as there isn't much less wood
and most of the cost is in the labor. I can also make sides for any other
synth you would want, just get in touch with me. Thanks!
James R. Coplin"
