"I built this synthesizer kit. At first I thought it was broken, but after Jason helped me troubleshoot the circuit I realized that the audio jack was just wired wrong.

This panel is just temporary for putting the whole thing together. I'm going to build a better enclosure to stick everything inside of that will look better than cardboard and ink jet printout.

"I sold the Moog LP and bought a Waldorf Blofeld. It seems to kick major ass.

The modulation matrix is pretty insane in that you can do weird things like route the pitch bend amount to FM amounts and have the sustain pedal increase LFO speed. (Actually it's a lot more powerful than that). Fun."

No not the modular or the vocoder. The little synth on the floor under the modular - the Minitmoog. This image was taken at the Synthorama synthesizer museum in Luterbach Switzerland.
