Le 30 novembre 2013, JoMox était à Modularsquare pour présenter sa nouvelle ligne de modules au format Eurorack. Si vous recherchez des alternatives aux TR-909 et TR-808, ces modules valent vraiment le coup d'oeil ! Intervention en anglais.

Computer Love

via Glen on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"I recorded a super quick version of Computer Love with my MS20 Mini & Korg Voca Keys. Drums are samples and I used a ton of reverb to make the lead synth sound bigger. As much analog goodness as 600 odd bucks will get you these days!"

"MS20 is doing the bass, Volca Keys the rest."

Forgotten: Korg EMX electribe downtempo

Moog Minimoog Model D with Mods SN 1325 - #325 of the First Run of Minis Built

via this auction

"The Mini was professionally serviced a few months ago including re-capping of the power supply and cards, new keyboard bushings, and tuning and scaling.
This Mini is the 325th one ever built.
It sounds amazing, and plays great.
As with all of the first few hundred made, it has the original metal face plates and clear modulation and pitch wheels.
This Mini has served me faithfully for years.
There are a few useful modifications:
-The oscillator card has been replaced with the more stable version(all the other cards are the original R.A. Moog cards)
-The S-Trig input has been replaced with a 1/4" input that accepts standard Gate/Trigger for easier interface with external controllers
-There is a two-way switch that shifts the CV control of the oscillators from the keyboard to the external CV Input
There is also the remnants of one mod that was probably installed before the newer Oscillator board was installed.
You can see it on the side where the two holes that are labeled 'High' and 'Low' are."

via this auction - see this post for a video.

"This is a hand-made noise device, with a Synthrotek Chaos NAND Synth circuit. The circuit is based on the 4093 NAND CMOS IC.

This device has an added capacitor bank for even more insane sounds. The enclosure is made of 18 gauge steel, and the bottom and the top panels are 10 (1/8" thick heavy duty) gauge perforated, steel. The bottom panel is removable. A 9V power adapter is included, and also has a 1/4" audio output jack. Multi-colored LED pulses red, green, and blue.

I have used this for about 5 months there are various nicks and scratches, but the unit functions fine. This item is HAND-MADE; it has imperfections in its finish, buts its built to last. I makes deep droning, chaotic, noisy, rich, thick, squealing, screaming and percussive sounds. Its basically generates square waves that cross-modulate each other..."

"1U panel I made to have all the output above the module and mute each channel with switches. Little patch using the first 9 outputs ( CV & Gate ) to trig some pattern and little melodix to track 4 with The Hertz Donut MKII."
