Plan B Model 25 Now Available

"A quick note to announce that the Model 25 Multi-tasking Audio Processors will be at Analogue Haven tomorrow - Friday, August 3.

The M25 is the second swiss-army knife module in our range, the basic idea behind it to provide a series of useful synthesis functions without a hefty investment of real estate. Consisting of a Manual Attenuator (this was Tim Johnston's idea, and a great one), a dynamic VC Waveshaper, White/Pink analog Noise Generator, a Linear VCA with a separate velocity input, and a high-quality Ring Modulator which boasts over 65 dB of carrier suppression and a unique x-feedback function - all comfortably crammed into only 10HP of panel space.

More information can be found at the link below, replete with sound samples which I think are worth checking out."

"The robotic vocalist, dubbed “Seamoons,” is a combination of mechanical bellows and a computer controlled rubber vocal chord that’s monitored and modified in real time, sounding something like a tiny electric Yma Sumac."

Note the robot with a mic. The above quote is a snip from here, where you will find more info on the artist, Maywa Denki, and the tools they use. BTW, if anyone knows/finds more info on the "guitar" like devices feel free to comment.

ASM2-Wizard Etched

via Mark Pulver on AH.

"I got the etched panel for the ASM2-Wizard last night (thank you Laurie!) and I thought I'd share how it looks in the custom cabinet. This is a BIG box. I dunno that's its final location. Time to get the soldering iron out and get to this thing!

Hammond Novachords #117, #132, and #1431

via jonesalley:

"Here's an unusual grouping for you. From left to right, Hammond Novachords #117, #132, and #1431. They have recently been joined by their older brother, #61, but I don't have a current photograph. All four are complete and intact, except for a few missing or broken tubes, and all four will be undergoing a slow restoration process. Don't hold your breath..."
