EKO Ecosynth P15
Trip. Never saw one of these before. Up for auction on the *bay.
Description from auction:
"EKO EKOSYNTH P15
3 1/2 Octave Analog Monophonic Synthesiser made by EKO in Italy, in the late 70s or early 80s
Description:
This is a SERIOUSLY RARE monosynth.
It says "digital system" on the front panel, but that refers to the fact that most of the circuitry consists of Integrated Circuits rather than indivudual components.
There are 15 preset sounds (Hence, P15). You can play them as they stand, or switch the Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), and Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) into "manual" mode, and tweak the sound anyway you want. There is also a full LFO section, capable of affecting the Oscillator, and the Filter. (Wah Wah and Tremolo). The VCO functions can be delayed as well. (as per Roland Juno)!
It is strictly monophonic, ie you can play one note at a time.
Construction:
This machine is built into a heavy-duty flightcase, constructed from wood, and sheet steel. The case also has a vinyl coating. It's heavy!"

Audio Damage 907A Fixed Filter Bank
Via Create Digital Music. Audio Damage recreates the Moog Modular 907A as a $29 US software plug-in. More info after the hop including samples.
"The Audio Damage 907A Fixed Filter Bank plug-in is a faithful recreation of the Moog Modular Synthesizer's 907A module. This plug-in creates a variety of tonal effects by passing its input signal through eight band-pass filters, one low-pass filter and one high-pass filter."

Ray Kurzweil Remembers Bog Moog
Ray Kurzweil on Wired. Amazing reflection on Bob Moog's impact on him including his inspiration prior to Kurzweil Music Systems and on to Bob's stay at Kurzweil. It's personal, professional and purel respectful. This is one of those articles where I had a tough time picking a quote for the post, I litteraly wanted to qoute every single paragraph. Title link takes you there.
"The Bob Moog I knew, however, wasn't focused on his pivotal role in music history. He was motivated by his love for invention, for applying electronics to music, and for interacting with the musicians who used his technology. He had a rare combination of talents: an intuition for signal processing and an equally clear sense of the language of music."
Link came in on AH from David Vandenborn.

Korg Triton Goes Black
Korg TR via Sonic State News. Title link takes you there.
"Based on the the Tritons Hyper Integrated sound engine, the 64MB wave ROM (twice that of the original Triton) is packed with new sounds, plus some of the Korg classics, the TR bucks the Korg usual silver look by being “sleek and black” as they put it. The TR features a 16 track sequencer, sampler and effects section and adds USB MIDI plus SD card data storage."
