Note the Crumar Stratus and the yellow and black synth above it. I've posted that one before but I forget what it is. Anyone remember?

Update via Heath: "The one above the Stratus is a Korg 900PS" You can find some prior posts including video on the KORG 900PS here.

EMS SYNTHI 100 for Auction

via this auction

BIN of 45,000.00 GBP or roughly 63,964.41 USD according to XE.com
Details:
"For sale the legendary EMS SYNTHI 100 modular in great condition and fully functional - one of the biggest and rarest synths ever built, 33 units ever built - including many original accessories and non-working parts of the ultra-rare COMPUTER SYNTHI !

The Synthi 100 was entirely serviced, finished in January.
The unit is an early one. That is, the filters are diode based (like the VCS3) and not OTA based, therefore they are by far the best sounding of the 2 "revisions".
Probably the richest, creamiest HP I have ever heard.
Says who ? says me and James Walker (http://www.synthrepairservices.com/), one of the best specialists worldwide in this matter.

With the main unit come many original accessories :
- original double keyboard
- original wooden keyboard cover
- original cable from keyboard to unit
- 2 wooden covers to protect each matrix from dust
- original manual for the Synthi 100 : "Handbook for Synthi 100"
- Female and male plugs for optional CV/gate or MIDI remote control
- Large quantity of pins :
91 blue
69 white
48 orange
6 reds
1 pin with cable to connect to coloured connectors to control pulsewidth of waveforms.
4 cables with pins at both ends which allow connecting between matrixes.
- special modification adding the possibility of controlling the oscillators' waveforms pulsewidth, not possible on stock Synthi 100s.
- A big pile of empty Synthi 100 patch sheets
- Ignition key
- original expansion card for analog cards repairs
- not original expansion card for digital cards repairs
(with these 2 last cards you can repair your unit forever, without them it would be a folly to buy this synth as the day it fails you cannot repair it anymore)

Also included with all this will come non-working parts of the ultra-rare COMPUTER SYNTHI.
Note that there has been only 3 ever built, 1 of them being the prototype, so this is more than rare, this is almost unique.
They are 3 parts of the Computer Synthi plus very extensive schematics for the Computer Synthi in a "HandBook for Synthi - Computer Synthi" big black book (in case you know someone very good at music electronics who wants to rebuild it). Here you will find more infos about this :
http://members.tripod.com/werdav/comsynth.htm
They seem to be the 2 upper panels :
* 1. Two, digital tape decks mounted at the top left of the front panel.
* 2. An alpha-numeric display, user push buttons, and a digital oscillator mounted at the top right of the front panel.
Plus the other rack under the alpha-numeric display+push buttons which is maybe the 3rd part described :
* 3. Analogue to digital converters and digital to analogue converters both with software, range and offset controls - mounted at the bottom right of the front panel."

Tristan Perich at the Stone with Ensemble Pamplemousse Compositions with 1-Bit Music

"This Saturday, February 21st, three new and recent compositions by Tristan Perich for ensemble with 1-bit music will be performed at the Stone (curated this month by Shannon Fields). The recital marks the premiere of a new work composed for Ensemble Pamplemousse, his first composition exploring white noise as a basis for sound. Computationally, pure oscillation and total randomness occupy opposite ends of the information spectrum, yet both are found in the foundations of sound and pattern, and this new body of work on white noise explores this domain. Two other pieces involve pure tones: one for three violas, the other featuring Perich on piano.
- 1/4 Revolution
For three violas and three-channel 1-bit music
Performed by Nadia Sirota, Elizabeth Weisser and Andrea Hemmenway
- Intersticials
For flute, violin, cello, percussion and three-channel 1-bit noise
Performed by Ensemble Pamplemousse: Natacha Diels, Kiku Enomoto, John Popham, Andrew Greenwald
- Five Architectures
For solo piano and four-channel 1-bit music
Performed by Tristan Perich

This is why you come to MATRIXSYNTH.
'I just got the Korg DS-10, which is a "game" that turns your nintendo DS into a synthesizer. I thought I would share my first little creation, and jump around like an ass too. Enjoy, internets."
