Oberheim Prommer

Found this in my picture collection. What struck me in this image is the Oberheim Matrix-6 style membrane buttons AND the Matrix-12 style red and black push buttons. I never really noticed that before. Title link takes you to Synth Museum with more info on the Prommer. In short it was an EPROM burner for the Oberheim DMX. You would use it to burn samples into EPROMs that you could then pop into your DMX for triggering.

Moog Buttons

Found these in my pictures. I remember when synth buttons were all over the *bay. For whatever reason I'm not seeing as many as I did before. Try a search on the 'bay for any manufacturer and buttons to see what comes up. Roland buttons came up empty for me. Moog only had about three sets. Hmm... makes me think I should have gotten some while they were there, but... I can always make my own stinkin buttons if I want I guess. Anywho, I do like this shot; makes a slick background wallpaper.

Sonic Six Manual Cover

Found this in my collection. I believe this is the cover of the Moog Sonic Six Manual. If not let me know.

Bandwidth Glitch

And I'm back! Sorry about the downtime if you happened to come by during it. My site was down due to exceeding my bandwidth on ACENET. Dang YMO videos! As promised though, I will put them back up in October. Site going down is my bad for not doing more due diligence on this. Acenet got me back up in about an hour after contacting them, so cheers to them. Honestly I am very happy with their service considering I have the cheap-o $3.95 a month host plan. BTW, if you are looking for a host, do check them out. I have a link to them on the bottom of the right pane, and yes if you do sign up clicking through there I get a little reward. : ) Ok, enough of this, back to synths. I have a few posts waiting.
