Apologies with the slow posting today. Caught up with the day job. Here's something to hold you over.
Another shot of the green. This one via Sonic State. Title link takes you to the article with a very nice shot of red mod wheels. The red one is going to be nice as well.
I'm diggin' those knobs! More via Brandon Daniel on fdisk. Brandon rules. These are the images we want to see.
The following is just a partial list. Title link takes you to more. The full feature list is just too long, even for me, and I put this up. : )
Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. This actually looks pretty nice. Now if those where knobs, I just might be tempted.
Yet another Korg Sigma up this auction. This is the third in a week. Here's the first one and here's the second one. All shots are different.
One last one from the fdisk NAMM 2007 Day 1 set. Ironically this is the first shot in the set.

Well, not quite. : ) How I wish. But... we can pretend. Via MOOG Space:
Title link takes you there. Keep an eye on Gearwire for more NAMM coverage. I'll be posting some of the synth content that comes in, but for the rest go there.
Another nice image of the new Korg R3. Title link takes you to the product page on Korg US.
I finally got around to looking at the Waldorf pdf in more detail. There's been a bit of buzz around the plug-in capability. This image shows you two hardware plug-ins in the back of the synth, the valve and the a-filter. According to the brochure these are fully analog, not digital VA plug-ins. Title link takes you to the pdf in case you missed it.
Florian posted the following to AH. I thought it was probably the most detailed explanation I've come across on what makes an envelope snappy. I asked him if it would be ok to put it up here for others and the archives, and he gave the thumbs up. He also mentioned that the following is basically a short resume from some chapters of his book "Synthesizer." You can find it on amazon
Interesting little Rhythm pedal sent my way hino. Title link takes you to more images pulled via this auction.

Here's an interesting item up this auction. No title link. Just this image and details:

"Roland’s original V-Synth set a new standard in expressive synthesis and sound design. It won awards and acclaim around the world, as it forever changed the way sounds were created and performed. But just when you thought V-Synth technology had reached its peak, Roland raised the bar even higher with the new flagship V-Synth GT! This unique instrument injects the V-Synth’s famous Elastic Audio Synthesis engine with revolutionary Articulative Phrase Synthesis technology. Its expression and realism is unprecedented, as is its ability to make never-before-heard sounds.
"Mono/Poly software synthesizer

Nothing new on the site. Just thought I'd grab the big red knob for posterity. Always thinking of the future. ; ) I'll be sure to put up posts to the photo sets that come in out there, so keep coming back.

Today Roland sets a new standard in production power and flexibility with the MV-8800.
