"Sorry for not uploading any vids lately! Too busy with . . . stuff. I finally got to the point where I needed to build proper power supplies for my upper racks because I got some new modules! :-) All my synths have been undergoing rearrangement/rework lately and I haven't been able to use them. I'm trying to get a lot done before the PNW Synth Gathering on the 31st but I just couldn't resist playing around a bit with my new Moon M569 sequencer! It has so much great potential for doing interesting sequencing it's really exciting! There will be more demos and music videos in the following months for sure!

Thanks for watching, rating and commenting!"

The Syntar Turns 32

Today marks the 32 year anniversary of George Mattson's Performance Music Systems Syntar. You might recognize the name Mattson. George is the man behind Mattson Mini Modular. The Syntar, conceived in 1978, was the first all-enclosed keytar synthesizer. Before then keytars were just controllers. You can read all about the history of The Syntar on Carbon111.com here (you'll find a pic of Bob Moog playing Syntar prototype #1), and of course check out the Syntar label for posts that have gone up here. Below are two videos of Red Martian with the Syntar at the PNW 2009 synth gathering.

Synth-DIY Southern California - April 3, 2010

YouTube via thisfear — April 03, 2010 — "A rough drive-by shooting at the Synth-DIY analog/digital synthesizer gathering in Sante Fe Springs, CA. See the Synth-DIY mailing list and the Analogue-Heaven mailing list for more info. If you see yourself here, (a) sorry for the vid quality, (b) please make a comment so others can find you."

Update: Two pics of Jim Patchell's modular via George Mattson. Note these images are from the PNW SDIY gathering a few years ago. steelydang in the comments asked what modular it was so I thought I'd update the post with these images.
