Des choses et d'autres - New Video Blog by deb8076

deb8076 of Chroniques de la Mao just launched a new blog, Des choses et d'autres, which will feature videos. So far he has a performance by Soft Machine and some killer Synthi AKS videos on YouTube. I'll be putting up a post on the Synthi vids with tomorrow's set of posts in a bit, but if you want to see them before then, check out deb8076's new blog. Via deb8076 in the comments of this post.

Warning - Hongkongsupersellers

I've been hearing a lot of bad things about hongkongsupersellers, suppliers of ICs and other parts. Title link takes you to the latest on GetLoFi. Here's a bit from somone on AH who wishes to remain anonymous. Consider yourself warned. Chipsforbrains on the other hand is apparently all good.

"This guy sells a lot of out-of-production IC's on E-bay, I've seen him offer SSM filter chips & 4096-stage BBD IC's. The latter is what I got screwed on, it seems he's selling counterfeit (knock-off's) MN3005 & MN3205's........what I got was a 2048-stage BBD (still in production & cheap to buy) that had been relabled as a MN3205 (discontinued). What's worse, I've let him know they are counterfeits & about to send 'em back for a refund, but he is still selling them....so he's got no scrupples.

Both the MN3205 & MN3005's look fake comparing them to the panasonic chips I've got & Chip4brains stock. He's sold a bunch of them already (in sets of 10), so I'm sure a lot of folks are gonna be pissd off."

According to Music Thing, Kelly Ozbournes has this synth tattoo. Title link takes you to the post. Hmm... Someone tell her about my blog! : )

Dewanatron Birdhouse

Two shots of the Dewanatron pulled from this electro-music.com post, which came from the Dewanatron site. I bet Thomas Dolby would like these.

Modded Roland TR-606



Via mono-poly in the comments of this post.

"I got a modification done with my tr-606 and i am really happy with it.
My 606 got now trigger outputs for all sounds. And trigger leds to show witch chanels get triggerd. Now the days i use the 606 most times to clock my analogue sequencers and other stuff witch use trigger sources. It also got the the modification wit the noise output from the hihat circuit i am really happy with it!

There i am using it to controll a wiard sequantizer and vco i just got. and made quickly a little demo with it.

Here are some pics of just the 606

I am really thinking about another one because i could use more 5 volt triggers. And perhaps i want a module to control the gate time."

Update via Rogo in the comments:
"Check out http://www.numberofthebeast.org/ as well. Julian is a very nice guy and his mods are awesome"

I also put up a post a bit ago here.
