Sanctuary - New Flickr Shot

Shot by Luca Capozzi. I saw this shot and the first thing that came to mind was how un-Moogy a Roland JP8080 was. I thought of perspectives on how Roland has not come out with something innovative in years, how "digital" the JP8080 was, and how far away from the mighty moog analog sound it was. A lot of people see Roland and their digital synths as the anithesis of Moog. Then I saw the title of the shot, and I remembered how Bob described himself. He described himself as a tool-maker who made wonderful musical instruments for people to enjoy; magical instruments at that. There is no doubt in my mind that a JP8080 is capable of bringing this magic to its owners. Bob brought synthesis to the mainstream, making it affordable and accessible. This shot forces you to see that. A shot of the Roland JP8080, the magic synthesis brings and respect to Bob.

Racked Synths Done Right

In the comments section of this post, Mr. Array posted a link to the Sudio Electronics Museum page with a number of classic synths in rack format. Above is a Roland Juno-106. Beautiful. Title link takes you to more. Thanks Mr. Array.

Sequencers Cooking - Infection Music Zeit Sequencers

Hubba hubba. The Infection Music Zeit Sequencer x 5 burning in for 24 hours. In via the lovely Cikira.

"David Hughes, the desigher of Infection Instruments Zeit, updated his list of patient devotees thusly:
-----------
This is "Burn In Day" when all of the current batch of machines are "burned in" for 24 hours.

In the foreground is the prototype machine which was in the workshop for a software upgrade.

Incidentally, in case someone asks, the LEDs are bright but not eye-seeringly bright. We didn't just fit a bunch of lasers to the front of the sequencer. That's a 4 second time exposure!"

Tricked out EMS VCS3

EMS VCS3 project by jhaible.



"Basically a VCS3 on steroids with focus on signal processing(phaser, analog delay, two frequency shifters, envelope follower added)"

Racked Roland SH101

DVDBORN put up some shots of music stores in NYC in 2001. Below is a racked red Roland SH101. Note the 101 Sound by Armen. Armen was the tech for Rogue Music. He's made a few people unhappy with service in the past, including myself. I have no idea how things are today. Title link takes you to DVDBorn's post.

Casio SK1 and Oscilliscope

Love this shot. Title link takes you to the post on GetLoFi.
