EMS Synthi 100


Interesting thread on the EMS Synthi 100 on Vintage Synth Explorer. Two interesting tidbits that got me to post this. One in the History page of the EMS Site it lists Belgrade in The Users section. Optimus prime on the thread followed up and it turns out they have a Synthi 100. Two, the Synthi 100 is featured on Meat Beat Manifesto's later work including some shots of it in a DVD called "Tino Vision." I will definitely have to check that out.

Ray Kurzweil


Seems like Kurzweil has been making the rounds lately. Aside from Kurweil Music Systems he is one the most prolific inventors of our century. Click here for a CNet article on him.

Fairlight CMI


Retro Thing has a good post up on the Fairlight CMI. Very cool. Enjoy.

Synthesizers.com 44-Space System for Sale


Yowsa! Click here for more including some beautiful shots. I saved the shots here, as I'm guessing they will eventually come down off the site.

"What can one say about .com? It's the modular Bob Moog himself regarded as the contemporary modular "that got it right." I think that appraisal is a bit fairer to .com than to some other makes I also admire, but there it is from the big man. Various owners who are conversant in electronics report amazement at the bomb-proof quality of the circuitry, wiring, and construction. It really is built for the long haul, as John Mitchell used to trumpet on AH."

New Synth Shots and Progsounds Synth Forum from Luca Capozzi


Luca Capoza from Italy sent this my way. Click here for his forum, Progsounds and Zioaxiom will take you to his Flickr set. There is an articles section on Progsounds available to registered users. Thanks Luca!

Alesis MMT8 Sequencer


Two shots of the MMT8 including one of the inside sent my way via Andre Vezina. I remember when these were considered "IT" for sequencing. They were the standard and considered the best; so much so I remember there being classes on how to use them in an audio engineering program. I always wanted one at the time, but couldn't afford one. Amazing how simple it looks. I love this shot without the original face plate. Very industrial, which was appropriate for it's time. Thanks Andre! Click hear for his site including more pictures and music all made with the MMT8. Listening to Quartz now. Good stuff.

"After many years of utilisation, the switch board of the Alesis MMT-8 was in bad condition. I did'nt want to get rid of it simply because in my case, this is the perfect tool and I know it by heart.So I decided to fix real switchs directly on the circuit board. After one day of working, the result became an hideous polymorph thing with all fonctions working perfectly.

Maybe one day I will decide to make a more fashion panel."

I say keep it the way it is! It looks better to me. : )
