Korg Kaoss Pad 3 on Sonic State
The guys at Sonic State have the scoop on the new Korg Kaoss Pad 3. " This latest KAOSS Pad has been completely overhauled, with significant advances in every area. New effects algorithms, synth sounds derived from their RADIAS engine, with more sampling power plus USB computer connectivity. A new pad lighting system places 64 individual LEDs in an eight by eight grid under the pad, providing visual cues as to the current program, held position and even custom messages."

Matrixsynth by Moogulator of Sequencer.de
Ah, the Oberheim Matrix-12. My first synth was the Matrix-6, my ultimate dream synth was the Matrix-12. Hence... Matrix and Matrixsynth. Click image for a much bigger shot. Thanks Moogulator!
Update: I should also note that moogulator was one of the first people I met online back in maybe '96 on Sonic State's the-gas-station, so this along with it being a Matrix-12 is pretty cool.
Matrixsynth by Greg
An Electro Harmonix Matrixsynth. How I wish. : ) Nice one Greg.
Update: To be clear, this is NOT an actual product from Electro Harmonix. It's just part of the "Matrixsynth by.." images coming in.
Rhodes Chroma Service Manual Now Online
Via Chris Ryan on the Chroma list:"The entire Service Manual (1983 Rhodes edition) is now available on the site, complete with large format schematics and drawings in PDF format. link
Thanks to David Clarke for advice and for reviewing the content, as well as providing the equation graphics for the Circuit Descriptions page.
As this was a significant effort--25,000 words manually transcribed and a pro scanning job on the schematics--I may consider this update a "special summer double issue" so I can devote more time to some other projects, including the Chroma software for Mac OS X I've been working on.
Chris"
Very cool. I am continuosly blown away by the Rhodes Chroma Group and Site. More synths could use support like this.

flickr by lauralhb.Something tells me my friends Scott and Patty will finally get a kick out of one my posts. They aren't synth heads, but they are from Vermont.
This one's for you Scott and Patty.

Baby Bombay
Shot via Doctor Bombay. That's one lucky and happy looking kid. : ) Be sure to check out my two previous posts on Stephen Teller aka Doctor Bombay: 1, 2.BTW, Stephen is taking requests and input for another video. Being the synth heads we are my guess is we all want to see more of his vintage gear. Title link takes you to his website. Go to the Gallery and blow up some of those images. Take a look at his synths and feel free to make some requests on what you might like to see in a video. Personally I'm game for anything that features and shows particular synths as they are being played, just like in his previous video. Feel free to post requests in the comments of this post.

Matrixsynth by Reed
How do you one up The Sage? Buchla. That's a 200e. Yowsa! Matrixsynth has officially graced the inner electronics of a Buchla. : ) That's probably the closest I'll ever get to one in a long, long time. Thank you Reed!
Title link takes you to a much bigger shot.

Nervous Gender - Live 1983 on YouTube
synth punk featuring an ARP Odyssey. Not sure what the other synth is. If you know feel free to comment.
via Greg Toumassian
Update: Looks there are actually a couple of other synths. Greggo in the comments is pretty sure one is a Moog satellite. You can see the Moog logo towards the end. There is also a silver Steiner-Parker Synthacon! If you are seeing what I'm seeing for the image in the post, that's it. Trip. Don't see those often.
Update via Tommy DOG in the comments:
"Yep. My friend Paul Roessler is the one playing the Synthacon and then there's a Satallite."
TONTO Rides Again - Updates
Title link takes you to updates in the original post. Putting this up just in case you missed it and would be interested. Good news is TONTO's Expanding Head Band will be playing live August 5th for those of you in Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire. Bad news is TONTO won't be there as it is too big to travel. The post has also been updated with Malcolm Cecil's comments on the unauthorized recording.

Doctor Bombay is Taking Requests
Update: So I did a little search on Stephen Teller of Doctor Bombay. I found his official site. Damn... ---------------------
Remember Doctor Bombay? He's looking at making a new video that will feature plenty of vintage synths and he's looking for feedback as well as taking requests.
"I've got a fairly large collection of vintage synths- probably around fifty or so. My partner in the Doctor Bombay project is currently the keyboard player in a well known classic rock band. Once I know it's cool I'll let you know his name.
We are planning to do another video. That's why I want to get as much feedback as possible on this one and see what people might be interested in seeing. We're looking at some Blood,Sweat and Tears remakes-anything cool from the late 60's and 70's. We will feature many more synths on the next one also. I wonder if you posted a question as to what song your readers would like to hear next if we would get any response?"
Feel free to post in the comments.
Synths spotted in the last video: Yamaha CS60, Moog Polymoog, ARP Quadra, Oberheim Four Voice, ARP Odyssey and ARP Pro DGX.
