flickr set by Ramcur


via doktorfuture

"Ramcur is repairing my Ionic Performer. He's doing a great job, including acid-baths, ultrasonic cleaning, lubrication and rebuilding of pots, re-capping it all, etc...

I recommend him highly for synth repairs."

For those not familiar with the Ionic Performer, it was an EMS SYNTHI clone released by Ionic with a very interesting history. See this post and the Ionic label below for more. At the bottom you will find this post from way back in 2005 with a VST of the Performer.

For people following the site for some time, you might remember doktorfuture's Ionic Performer from this post back in August of 2006.
