Roland SH-101 Samples and Filter CV Mod
Title link takes you there. Sent my way via Ed of dmxkrew.
"One thing the SH-101 is missing is a CV input to control the filter. I scoured the internet and found several mentions of modifications you can do to add a filter-CV input, but they all involve doing some fairly brutal stuff to your 101. I kept looking at the socket where the modulation grip plugs in. It says "modulation." I thought there must be a way to use it to control the filter, and there is. After experimenting with a kids' electronics kit, I made the little box pictured above. Using this box as an interface you can control the filter cutoff frequency or the oscillator pitch with an external CV. You can even plug in an audio signal and do filter FM or oscillator FM. If you use an external envelope and trigger it only on certain notes, you can acheive and "accent" sound similar to the TB-303 and make some very cool acid lines."

The Little Jointer
Thought this was pretty funny. That's one hell of a roach clip.
Came in via Per Mattson on AH. Also check out these definitions.
Update via synthbaron in the comments:
"That's a wood planer, not a roach clip. LOL.

Doh! Oh well, two funnies in one post. : )

TerraTec KOMPLEXER VST
Title link takes you to more. Update via Duvalle in the comments:
"Great news! I was waiting for the KOMPLEXER because it can import Waldorf Micro Q soundsets. I found this audio clip comparing the KOMPLEXER VST and the Micro Q. First one playing is the Micro Q."
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0BN4JVRY65JNL2G23UJEO9MUAI
Key features & special attributes
* Virtual analog software synthesizer
* Wavetable synthesis
* Imports Waldorf microQ® sounds
* Eight macro controllers
* Up to 256 voices
* Unrestricted access to the sound synthesis engine
* Three oscillators featuring sync and ring modulation
* Two multimode filters (8 types including comb filters)
* Flexible modulation matrix
* Four ADSDSR envelopes
* Audio input with vocoder
* Three LFOs (LFO3 with user waveform)
* Arpeggiator
* 16x16 modulation matrix
* Five effect units offering delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, distortion
* Fully automatable and controllable via MIDI controller
* VST plug-in for Windows 2000, Windows X
* Standalone Mode for use without VST – Host
BTW, apologies for the lack of Messe coverage, but there honestly isn't much new when it comes to synths this year. I've covered most items in previous posts already. If you beleive I've missed anything, please feel free to post a comment and I'll put it up.

Voyetra 8 Shots
Title link takes you to a load of shots on retrosynth. The Voyetra 8 is considered to be an 8 voice polyphonic Octave CAT. Update via mono-poly in the comments: "An 8 voice Octave Cat SRM2. These don't sound like the first ones."
