Click here some shots and short video from this year's Pacific Northwest Synthesizer meeting at the Renton Technical College in Washington State. I had a great time while I was there, but I had to leave early to go to my daughter's 2 year b-day party. Enjoy the shots. : )

One of the Holy Grails of the Synth world is currently up for auction. Title link takes you there. Pinballs Wanted will take you to a page dedicated to this synth. David Rogoff on AH stated "Well, here's the king..." and posted the link. The King says it best. I can see 70s Elvis wailing away on this, white cape, rinestones and sweat. : )

via Image Cave, home to some increadibly immaculate analog goodies. Some of the cleanest synths I've seen, including this Crumar Spirit co-designed by Bob Moog.

For more on the Crumar Spirit, see Big City Music's description.

Interesting thread on the EMS Synthi 100 on Vintage Synth Explorer. Two interesting tidbits that got me to post this. One in the History page of the EMS Site it lists Belgrade in The Users section. Optimus prime on the thread followed up and it turns out they have a Synthi 100. Two, the Synthi 100 is featured on Meat Beat Manifesto's later work including some shots of it in a DVD called "Tino Vision." I will definitely have to check that out.

Seems like Kurzweil has been making the rounds lately. Aside from Kurweil Music Systems he is one the most prolific inventors of our century. Click here for a CNet article on him.

Yowsa! Click here for more including some beautiful shots. I saved the shots here, as I'm guessing they will eventually come down off the site.

"What can one say about .com? It's the modular Bob Moog himself regarded as the contemporary modular "that got it right." I think that appraisal is a bit fairer to .com than to some other makes I also admire, but there it is from the big man. Various owners who are conversant in electronics report amazement at the bomb-proof quality of the circuitry, wiring, and construction. It really is built for the long haul, as John Mitchell used to trumpet on AH."
