"Here is my Polymoog 203a taken out of it's case for the first time in years! I bought it as in need of work, but it doesn't seem that bad. A few voices don't work, sometimes craps out and some waveshapes need sorting etc etc but, worth doing though as I LOVE polymoogs. Better than people think. Crap phone quality video. Sorry!" images here

Olivier Grall's Yusynth Modular

via Yves:
"it has been added in the modular section of Olivier's web site.

It is the serial #001 and was built in parallel with my own yusynth modular serial #000. It's a jointed project by Olivier (front plate engraving, assembling,
woodwork) and I (electronic design, electronic construction, woodwork).

Here is a picture of my yusynth #000 in construction.

For those who wonder the availability of such systems, this is DIY stuff ONLY and these synths are not commercial products, they are not for sale and I do not build synths for others ( sorry about that ;-) ). However, I provide all the information at my site for those who would like to build their own.

Cheers
Yves"

Announcing TipTop Audio

Something tells me more exciting synth news is actually coming outside of NAMM this year. I have just been tipped (pun intended) that there is yet another new synthesizer company coming. Yesterday I announced Synthasonic, and today we have TipTop Audio.

More will follow so be sure to check back.
