Here's one without midi.

AS VCO Combo Lock

One last one from the fdisk NAMM 2007 Day 1 set. Ironically this is the first shot in the set.

Nice combination lock knob.

Anyone know more about this one?

Doepfer A??? Complex VCO

BTW, if you haven't check out the NAMM 2007 set at fdisk, do it already. And don't forget the diapers.

Doepfer A-188

Remember the Doepfer A-188? Here it is in the flesh.

Bert and Ernie Spotted at NAMM

No sites of Stromberg and Blofeld, but here's Bert and Ernie.

Title link takes you there. Keep checking back for more as Brandon Daniel updates the site. Click on NAMM Shows, Winter, and then 2007 when you get there.

PPG Realizer anybody?

KORG Nucleus!

Yeah, right...

This is obviously photoshopped.. or is it?

Here are the "specs" via synthforum.nl:

MINI MONSTER
"The new synth from Korg, dubbed the "Nucleus", is set to be unveiled at the winter Namm show. A raw nerve-centre of realtime analogue-esque and cutting edge digital waveform synthesis, it's a portable workstation powerhouse. A mighty gritty, rip-snorting, ear-drum obliterating, speaker-shreddingly aggressive lo-fi mean machine, fused with OASYS physical-modelling algorithms for the best in hardcore synthesis right across the board. Tame it, if you dare...

Specifications:-

Synth Architecture:-
* 8 x part multitimbral and/or combis;
* 64 note polyphony;
* 3 x Oscs, and 1 x Sub;
* Tri-filter™ - A new filter arrangement consisting of three filters per part configurable in Single, Series, Parallel, Series/Parallel hybrid, Dual-Split and Tri-Split modes;
* MS20/TB/Jupiter8/Moog/Oberheim-emulated self-oscillating filters, with selectable 1-to-6 poles, with additional tube saturation, tape saturation, and/or wave-shaping processing;
* Additional distortion/overdrive/valve-emulation/wave-shaping per part;
* 4 x LFOs with customisable/importable waveforms. Can also be used as 1-shot EGs;
* 4 x EGs, two of which have 8-stages. All EGs have selectable Attack/Decay/Release curves;
* 2 x Step/Karma sequencers per part;
* 3 x Modulation sequencers per part;
* Interpolation/smoothing between knob values, avoiding 'stepping' between discrete MIDI/knob values;
* Up to 16-voice patch unison with panoramic spread;
* 100 Comprehensive multi-timbral effects and algorithms;
---
Synthesis types:-
* Standard subtractive;
* Wavetable & vector waveshaping synthesis;
* Full Frequency Modulation;
* Oscillator-sync, Cross/Ring-mod;
* Formant/Vocoding modelling;
* Retro 8-bit synthesis/emulation including C64 SID synthesis, wave-sequencing, and individual oscillator sequencing and modulation per oscillator;
* Granular synthesis with compreshensive distortion and wave-shaping;
* UniOsc - upto 11-voices stacked using 1-note polyphony;
Physical modelling:-
* OASYS physical modelling algorithms, including STR-1 (Strings) and new releases: BRS-1 (Brass), ORG-1 (Organs), EP-1 (Electric Pianos), and BM-1 (Bass modeler - a brand new algorithm purely devoted for enhanced bass sound production and engineering);
PCM/Waves:-
* 256 onboard single-cycle PCMs and wavetables sampled from natural/instrumental sources, and vintage synths alike. The latter include the MS-20, PolySix, Pro-1, MiniMoog, TB303, Juno106, SH-101, Jupiter 8, Evolver, and many more...
* User-creatable/importable (single-cycle sampled) digital-oscillator waveforms, with onboard visual waveform-synthesis via TouchView™.
---
Hardware:-
* ±15° tiltable colour TouchView™ touchscreen;
* 3-Octave 37-note velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch;
* 25 Knobs, 35 buttons and Jog Dial for quick parameter/value selections;
* Kaoss XY-Pad style controller, with additional Z (depth/pressure) control;
* Over-sized Modulation wheels;
* Dual x 20-Bit audio inputs for internal oscillator/filter/fx manipulation.;
* OASYS Open platform for adding additional synthesis models at a later date via Operating System updates;
---
Other highlights:-
* VSTi functionality with sound-librarian;
* Firewire transfer of digital output/input audio + midi;
* 4-stereo (8-mono) x 24-bit ¼'-jack-socket balanceable outputs;
* Oscilloscope display for monitoring waveforms in realtime via TouchView™ menu;
* Unobtrusive carry handle inset (flush) with/into rear-panel;
* DVI/VGA output 'add-on option' to display screen on a PC monitor;
* 4 x Karma phrase-arpeggiator/step-sequencer with ability to import/program user-arp's;
* User-importable 'boot-up' screen visual-image greeting with user name-tag.

A special PINK version will also be available for female synthesiser users!"

Little Phatty OS Update

"Little Phatty Stage Edition

As you probably already know, the Stage Edition has the same great sound and appearance as the Tribute Edition, but at a lower price. The LEDs have an amber/red color scheme and the end plates are molded instead of wood. So, besides the price, what's new? The operating system! The Stage Edition's OS contains a host of new features that you requested (and a few we came up with), including built-in Sample & Hold and Noise modulation, a second modulation routing, and individual pitch up and down parameters. But here's the best part: presets now have their own 'Advanced' settings, so your can individually specify the number of filter poles, envelope release, filter sensitivity, etc., for each preset. And did I mention that we've added Pot Mapping, too? Now you can now program the four front-panel control knobs to any of the 128 MIDI Continuous Control parameters for internal or external control. Pretty cool, huh?

But wait, there's more! The new OS will soon be available for the Tribute Edition (free, of course), so TE owners can also take advantage of the new feature set!

We expect to be shipping the first Stage Editions by February."
