Polymoog w/ Blue LEDs

Some pics of a super clean Polymoog with blue LEDs in via AH. I can hear the lead synth string to Numan's Cars in my head now. I've never seen a Polymoog that clean before. Beatiful synth.

Ministry for sale...

Via Music Thing. Ministry is selling off a couple of Fairlights. You can see some Revolting Cocks and Ministry scribblings on the gear with plenty-o duct tape. I'm usually a gear purist meaning the defacing of gear is sacrelidge to me, but something about that gear pumping out Ministry and RevCock seems appropriate. Although the Fairlights were basically samplers meaning they can sound like whatever you want, they have always been shrouded in elegance. These have the look of coming out of that shroud and being able to produce some major damage. Would have been great to see these in the studio back then. I remember seeing Ministry and Revolting Cocks a few times live. I wonder if I saw these on stage as well.

I want these LEDs for my Modular I want these LEDs for my Modular I want these LEDs for my Modular I want these LEDs for my Modular

Note the two huge LED looking things. Click here to go to a site on the dismantling of the largest crane in the world in Sweden, to be moved to South Korea. No relation to synths, but when I saw those two big red led looking things, you know what went through my mind. Get that synced to an LFO... : )

New MacBeth M5 and Metasonix 4-voice Photos

Some new photos of the MacBeth M5 and Metasonix 4-voice sent my way via Analogue Haven. I also heard really good things about Analog Haven. Man that M5 is a beauty. And that Metasonix 4-voice. I've never seen one before. Great design on the interface. It looks as fat as it probably sounds.

Club of the Knobs - performance art

Saw this up on Music Thing. I've linked to Club of the Knobs for quite some time on matrixsynth.com but kind of forgot about it. The site is dedicated to the art in analog modular synthesis. There is some interesting performance art videos with plenty of modular action. Definitely check it and the site out; it's well worth it if you want to see some a giant modular in action.

The Who Synth Porn

Great video on The Who and synths. Gear porn galore! : ) In via AH.

TimewARP 2600 Goes Native!

This in via Harmony Central. The TimewARP 2600 was hailed as the best ARP 2600 soft synth by many, but it was only available in RTAS format. It will soon be released in VST and AudioUnit format as well as stand alone. I can't wait to check it out.

The Ultimate Analog

Via Music Thing. I actually saw this a bit earlier but didn't have my blog going. Better late than never. : )

VA Cowbell

This in via Boing Boing. Kind of reminds me of my "It's not a piano!" post.
