Title link takes you to two big shots of this PAIA Strings & Things pulled from this cl post. I wonder how these compared to the other string synthesizers out there.

A(mbient ) - 100

Title link takes you to Widtek Studio and A(mbient)-100. A(mbient)-100 is a collection of tracks from various artists using the Doepfer A-100 modular synthesizer. Tracks feature Efofex, Unyo303, and Charles Graef; a few names I recognize from the various synth lists. There's more info on the project and downloads after the hop. Yes, you can download the whole thing for free as part of the Creative Commons license 2.5. Very cool.

Korg Kaoss Pad 3 on Sonic State

The guys at Sonic State have the scoop on the new Korg Kaoss Pad 3.

" This latest KAOSS Pad has been completely overhauled, with significant advances in every area. New effects algorithms, synth sounds derived from their RADIAS engine, with more sampling power plus USB computer connectivity. A new pad lighting system places 64 individual LEDs in an eight by eight grid under the pad, providing visual cues as to the current program, held position and even custom messages."

Matrixsynth by Moogulator of Sequencer.de

Ah, the Oberheim Matrix-12. My first synth was the Matrix-6, my ultimate dream synth was the Matrix-12. Hence... Matrix and Matrixsynth. Click image for a much bigger shot. Thanks Moogulator!

Update: I should also note that moogulator was one of the first people I met online back in maybe '96 on Sonic State's the-gas-station, so this along with it being a Matrix-12 is pretty cool.

Matrixsynth by Greg

An Electro Harmonix Matrixsynth. How I wish. : ) Nice one Greg.

Update: To be clear, this is NOT an actual product from Electro Harmonix. It's just part of the "Matrixsynth by.." images coming in.

Rhodes Chroma Service Manual Now Online

Via Chris Ryan on the Chroma list:

"The entire Service Manual (1983 Rhodes edition) is now available on the site, complete with large format schematics and drawings in PDF format. link

Thanks to David Clarke for advice and for reviewing the content, as well as providing the equation graphics for the Circuit Descriptions page.

As this was a significant effort--25,000 words manually transcribed and a pro scanning job on the schematics--I may consider this update a "special summer double issue" so I can devote more time to some other projects, including the Chroma software for Mac OS X I've been working on.

Chris"

Very cool. I am continuosly blown away by the Rhodes Chroma Group and Site. More synths could use support like this.
