"Santa Barbara, California, 2007
We heard this duo performing live on State Street one evening earlier this month. If you ever get a chance to hear them, don't miss it. Dude had the theremin wailing like a squadron of banshees, hypnotizing pedestrians as far away as Cota Street."

Spot the synths.

Keep Our Pets Safe Cybermarch and latest Recall News

This site is about everything synth and let's face it, our pets make everything synth better. Well... aside from fur, hairballs, pee, etc., making it's way into our gear. But...

This is actually old news, but if you haven't heard it, check it out. Today is the nationwide march to keep pets safe day. The brown ribbon? It's in support of that.

New May releases from Plan b

Via Peter Grenader of Plan b:

"There are a few suprises coming for the month of May which include the release of THREE NEW PRODUCTS above and beyond the Model 26, and a major re-design of another module that's been released for some time. Included in these will be the Model 15A, the Model 28 and 28A

Model 28?

That's not a typo! The M28 has been kept a secret, even at Namm and Musikmesse... but not for much longer.

Keep an eye on the EAR site where they'll all be announced and released over the next four or so weeks.

orgon enigiser sherman qmf modular tr606 tb303 synapse

"Ramon using the orgon enigiser,sherman qmf fliter,tr606, tb303, analogue solutions synapse. The Enigiser is a single-oscillator monosynth module whose sound can be beefed up somewhat by a sub-bass feature (more on this later) and treated via a very comprehensive Voltage Controlled Filter section, three envelope generators and an LFO. The oscillator has a selector switch for sine wave, triangle wave, square wave, variable square and variable sawtooth -- the last a nice touch, and a source of of some of the richest sounds available from the Enigiser, especially when the sawtooth width is modulated by the LFO. The selector switch is a little tight and I'm that sure the knobs on this review model are smaller than on others I've seen. They vary in response from smooth to rather stiff but do free up with use. Main pitch can be set over an 8-octave range, with fine-tuning the expected plus or minus a semitone. Slide (portamento) can be added and even switched on or off via the jack input.What is the Sherman QMF ?

4 Sherman Filterbanks in 1 box, numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. The numbers also apply to the MIDI channel at which the 4 filterbanks are programmed. E.g. filterbank 1 has MIDI channel 1, filterbank 2 has MIDI channel 2 etc...

The TB-303 (named for "Transistor Bass") was originally marketed to guitarists for bass accompaniment while practicing alone. Production lasted approximately 18 months, resulting in only 10,000 units. The TB-303 is considered a collector's item today, often valued at US$800 to $1000. It was not until the mid- to late-1980s that DJs and electronic musicians in Chicago found a use for the machine in the context of the newly developing house music genre.

And so it is... the Revolution

A true analog monophonic synthesizer with an easy to use step-based digital sequencer, analog and DSP effects processing, and various interfacing for controlling MIDI, CV/Gate, and Din Sync devices.

Continuing in our tradition of building quality products, this unit is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis, with aluminum side panels, high contrast black on white finish for superior viewing of controls in dark environments, and topped off with bright blue LEDs all around.

Din Sync out is included for syncing up the playback of the early Roland TR and TB type devices to todays MIDI sequencers. Garfield Electronics Dr. Click, audio-cv-trigger-midi converter."
