Electroharmonix Small Stone and EMS Synthi Hi-Fli

via khoral's Cafe 80.
"The Small Stone is a revered phase shifter pedal from Electro Harmonix, with a most distinguished pedigree, harking back to the glory days of EMS, the groundbreaking british company responsible for such electronic marvels as the VCS3.

Engineer David Cockerell, first hired by EMS to work on early computer systems for music, designed in 1971 a very peculiar (and pricey according to long time user David Gilmour) guitar effect called the Synthi Hi-Fli, featuring advanced phase shifting and vibrato functions, along with that special EMS retro-futuristic look."

Check out Cafe 80 for more including samples of the DSI Prophet '08 running through the Small Stone.

Grant Richter of Wiard on New BugBrand Modular

I thought this was pretty cool. via Grant on the Wiard list:

"The faceplates are made of PCB material with touch controllers keys built in, which is so cute, it's like I suggested it 5 ears ago!

Who is counting, they are blue and named after bugs! Rock on teen God's!

"FINALLY got around to building Grant Richter's Analog Tracking Generator... been sitting in my todo pile for about 2 years. wasn't sure if i should post here, or the frac or the wiard forum. anyway, i'm psyched, Grant's designs are always a treat.
have only played with it a few minutes, great first impressions... i'm not sure if i understand the interpolate function yet, or if maybe its not working yet... will spend some quality time with it tonite and hopefully get to know it better."

Moog Etherwave Plus CV Controller/Theremin

YouTube via MoogMusicInc
"The newest member of the Moog Etherwave Theremin family is also the newest member of its controller family. The new Etherwave Plus extends the Theremins gestural playing technique to the world of analog synthesis and beyond by allowing the user to control gear with a wave of a hand, controlling synthesizers and effects while playing the Theremin. Its also a stand-alone CV (Control Voltage) controller.

The Etherwave Plus CV control signals are proportional to the pitch and volume of the Theremins audio signal and can be connected to the pitch and volume CV inputs of a Little Phatty or other analog synthesizer for a new way to interact with a synth. www.moogmusic.com"
