This one was sent to me by someone that goes by Ground Films. Man, what a beauty. Don't think I've seen one this nice before.

"Here is the EMS SYNTHI E (educational) synth! There were only 230 EVER MADE, many of which were DESTROYED. This one is MINT AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER USED! EVERYTHING works perfect!"

Synth Pics - PME Records

http://www.pmerecords.com/Keyboards.cfm

In via AH. A good set of synth pics. Including this Crumar Trilogy. Such a pretty synth.

More on the Trilogy here. Also worth noting from the comments on this post (always do your research before buying a synth):

"Although the trilogy looks nice, prospective buyers should be aware of two things...the Trilogy uses a divide-down oscillator scheme and the machine is "paraphonic" - only *one filter, even on chords, similar to the Korg Poly800.

These things hamstring a synth that *looks* like its a lot more powerful than it really is :/

Best Regards, James"

Buchla on the Bay

Some nice Buchla on the bay. Now if only this site made enough to support my synth habit... : )

Update.
I hate when pictures on the bay dissapear forever, especially the rare ones. I copied these up so we have em as long as this site is up.

Moog - a night for the nerds

One more on Bob Moog before I start adding other content today. Click here for a page on a gathering of 300 people in Queens Hall in Edinburgh to hear Robert Moog and Jen-Jacques Perrey. There are two videos on the site well worth watching. I love the Moog demonstrates Moog video. It's just Bob playing with OSCillators - just listening to sound. It's funny I can't really play music that well. There were times when I thought who am I kidding. I then realized who cares and more importantly I realized my real passion for synths. It's not to play music, but rather to play sound. I'll sit there and play stuff just to hear and manipulate sound. This video reminds me of that.

Update: Try saving the video locally and then playing it. Otherwise it takes a bit of time to load.
