flight of harmony newsletter June 2009

"Greetings!

It has been rather hectic lately, but the storm has nearly passed, so it’s time for some updates:

· Frac format Choices joystick modules are in stock at Analogue Haven. I haven’t had time to update the Choices page, but they are available. The Choices euro format is available through Analogue Haven and Schneiders Buero.

· Plague Bearer r3.2 with VC Gain is available at AH and SB in euro format.

· The Infernal Noise Machine is almost ready for production! Some sound clips taken during testing are here. PCBs will be ordered this week.
I have to pause here to thank those that purchased the first run. You all have been patient, understanding and kind way beyond what would be reasonable to expect, and I am very honored to have such exceptional clients as you. I hope you find that these are worth the wait!

· Production of the standalone Rev3.2 Quad Plague Bearer begins as soon as the I.N.M. are completed. Information on the original quad unit is available here. This run will have the fully-updated r3.2 PB circuitry, and the jack panel has been redone to accommodate the Gain CV input jacks. I found a batch of housings and was originally planning to use them for something else, but enough requests came in shortly thereafter to justify another run. There are a few housings that are not yet spoken for, so contact me if you are interested. They are USD$350 each + S&H (depends on location).

OK, back to work.

Thalasa - Doctor Who Theme Cover

"http://switchedonsynthesizer.blogspot...

This is my version of this classic theme from the sixties. I've tried to keep the original feeling using long reverbs , slap echoes ... All the sounds come from my modular synthesizer and they were multi-track recorded. No other synths were used.

Experimentalists Anonymous

Just in case you were wondering what happened to Experimentalists Anonymous, they are back up. They also added a new "hosted sites" section: "I've decided to really try to put the "s" in experimentalist"s" anonymous, and start hosting sites having do with DIY stompboxes, synths, circuit bending, and audio in general. Be sure to check out the newly added Archaic Equipment Orchard by forumite Crochambeau. If you need a place to post pretty much anything related to the topics listed above, please let me know! I would really like to make this section grow as much as possible... the more the merrier." Click here and scroll for some prior posts featuring Experimentalists Anonymous.
