Title link takes you there. If you haven't checked out Carbon111's site yet, you should. The site includes pages on the DSI Evolver, Waldorf Microwave XT, Serge, and Roland Juno-60. These are in depth pages including wavetable charts for both the Waldorf Microwave and DSI Evolver. There are some nice shots of his Rusty Insects studio and more including some of his visual art and of course his music. Enjoy.

Novachord Restoration Project
I previously posted on the Novachord Restoration project back on 10/03/05. Looks like the project is finished! There are some amazing samples up. Title link takes you there. Phil Cirocco of EMS did a fantastic job in this. Listen to the samples and realize that this synth is from 1939. This is absolutely astonishing. This really is about as awe inspiring as it gets in the synth world.
Update: Via Michael E Calaroso on AH:
"John Hanert was the designer of the Novachord, who also brought us spring reverb and the scanner vibrato and percussion of B3 fame. Vail's Hammond book has an entire chapter devoted to the Novachord. Apparently the prototype was velocity sensitive, but that feature was omitted from production models following a demo to a Hammond executive where he decided he heard no difference whether velocity sensing was on or off. Now I would've like to seen how Hanert implemented velocity sensing in 1939 :)

Alesis Andromeda A6 CS80 Sample
In via Tom Remi Flygel on the A6 alias. Great sample of the A6 imitating that Yamaha CS80 patch. It's amazing that the A6 filters model the Moog and Oberheim, yet aside from maybe a Yamaha AN1X, it's the closest sounding synth I've heard to a Yamaha CS50, CS60, or CS80. It captures that amazing sound.
