I'm guessing these are professional shots from the last post.

TRASH_AUDIO

"Roland TR-808 sitting atop a Roland Space Echo RE-501 from last night's Trash Audio meetup. I didn't get any more, as I was busy eating blue cheese and drinking beer, haha, but there was a professional photographer taking some photos with his DSLR, so some good photos should surface soon!" I'm guessing these are them.

USE AUDIO PLUGIATOR

YouTube via useaudio

via this auction

"Use Audio Plugiator synth, based on the famous Creamware synth plugins: Minimax, B4000, Lightwave and Voctor. 4 more synths/plug-in can be added to the unit.

The Plugiator is an excitingly innovative table top synthesizer which utilizes the latest and fastest DSP technology to provide high-end plug-in technology within a most convenient portable form factor.
The Plugiator can store up to eight different DSP plug-ins and can load any one at a time at a push of a button. Each plug-in comes with 100 presets – allowing you to store up to 800 different sounds within that cute little box which the Plugiator is.

The Plugiator would not be a Use Audio product if the operating panel wasn’t equally inviting: Eight encoder knobs allow you to tweak major sound parameters while playing, and the ten “quick pads” let you quickly store and recall your favorite plug-in/preset combinations – just as you need it when you perform live.
The Plugiator box provides MIDI In and Thru connections, USB, a microphone input, stereo line outs and a headphone output.

included plugins:
- Minimax:MiniMax is the highly acclaimed replica of the famous Moog Minimoog. Incredibly fat and responsive sound, intuitive control... tweaking its knobs is pure fun, a real performance synth!
- Lightwave: While the oscillators of the LightWave are based on wavetables, the aftermath is virtual analog - giving you wide control of the sound. From complex pads to powerful leads, LightWave offers a vast range of sonic possibilities.
- B4000: The B4000 turns your keyboard into the Hammond B3. The genuine sound of a real living electromechanical 400 pound monster. Lively, authentic, emotional...
- Voctor: That's what the microphone input of the Plugiator is for :) Plug in your microphone and modulate sounds with our voice ...

“The sounds themselves are amazing. They’re not just evocative of the originals, they come close to perfect emulations, the dedicated DSP hardware providing a level of realism that most nativesoftware models can’t touch without bringing even a strong computer to its knees from CPU overload.” -- Recording Magazine 02/2009, Mike Metlay

Hollow Sun Novachord Website Up

http://www.hollowsun.com/shop/novachord/

"Using divide-down oscillators (the world's first?), the Novachord was fully polyphonic. These (labelled 'Resonators') are passed through a filter and a simple but effective envelope shaper. It also has vibrato but not like the type found on analogue synths - instead, the modulation is polyphonic which imparts a rich ensemble effect to its sounds."
