"Anyhow, this guy named Per Kristian used to be a regular on the Harmony Central forums a while back. He's really a wizard in sound design and has some FANTASTIC Jarre covers up on his site. There's also lots of cool demos and patches for download. I really haven't seen him online anywhere in the last couple of years though. :("

"What is your current favorite piece of hardware? My Synthesizers.com /MOTM / Blacet /Tellun /Wiard /CGS /Oakley /Bananalogue Analogue Modular Synthesizer is my favorite (almost my *only*) piece of hardware. People talk a lot about the versatility of an analogue modular environment, but coming from computers and (particularly) MAX/MSP, I find modulars *fairly* limiting ... it's kind of the lowest amount of customizability that I find acceptable in hardware. I can't really see myself buying any synthesizers with fixed-signal paths, except for ones that I think are fairly unique in their sound/approach (i.e. Yamaha FSLR, Oberheim OBXM, etc. ) What's really astounding about all this analogue gear is who phenomenal it sounds."
"Brian Kehew demoing the only Con Brio ADS 200R in existence at the Vintage Computer Festival at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View California."
Update: if you remember in this prior post I noted that someone mentioned the Con Brio was not producing sounds on its own. Devo just left the following comment:
"Just wanted to clarify... The sound that was heard of the Con Brio at the VCFX this weekend WAS indeed coming from the synth itself. It is true that the synth isn't 100% functional (yet), but the parts that need to be made "whole" still, are the connection from the keyboards to the "brain" (mostly), which will be sorted out soon, hopefully. The sounds that were heard consisted of existing sequences on the original 8" floppys, coupled with existing sound-patches from the same orig. disks (of which, the OS is derived). BTW: the Con Brio sounds as good (or, dare I say, BETTER) than it looks. Awesome! I hope this info helps. Much kudos to all (past and present) involved! "
"Just posting to let you know that I finished setting up a site to list decent free vsti's which are good quality and work with my (soon to be released) software sequencer called XPIN. They will most likely work with the majority of other hosts as well. There are currently about 220 instruments listed, and I will keep adding more as I find them. Hope you like it!
