Ekseption - Rick van der Linden

I just found out about a band called Ekseption and their keyboard player, Rick van der Linden, via AH today. Unfortunately it was a thread announcing that he is seriously ill. Title link takes you to the main Ekseption site with a fascinating biography on Rick van der Linden, some pics and more. Condolences to his friends, family and all affected by this.

PLATO IMS Synthesizer

Now this is interesting. Mark Smart put up a site on the PLATO IMS Synthesizer. If you don't know what it is, check out the site via the title like to this post. The site is made to use the amber on black font of the PLATO. The site has history, samples and details on it's sythesis. Really impressive.



"I put up a web site about the IMS synthesizer which was developed at the
University of Illinois for use with the PLATO computer system. I went kind of
nuts and wrote PHP scripts to generate characters that look like a real PLATO
plasma screen."

x0xb0x Logos by Amos

No title link. Amos sent me a couple of x0xb0x logos he did in the spirit of an "open-source" synth project. Pretty nice if I must say so myself.




"Just realized, I forgot to post my shiny new self-made x0xb0x logo... free to anyone who wants to use it. An open-source synth project should have an open-source logo. Limor (LadyAda) said that there wasn't any logo yet for the x0xb0x, so I decided to take the initiative and create one. The "0" is the schematic symbol for a PNP transistor."

Serge Animal Post on Synthwire

Carbon111 just put up a great post on Synthwire on the Searge Animal Modular. He walks through each module and links to his Serge page with more info. Title link takes you there.

NIN Polyevolver Cover - Stefan Trippler

Via AH. Yep. I think Stefan is pulling my leg on this just being a hobby of his. : )

"Sounds from the Evolvers, drums mainly from Stylus RMX, some additional from
the Evolver, vocals from www.nin.com

Peaceful advent time all ;)

Stefan"
