Richard Lainhart at Handmade Music


YouTube via rustyanalog.
"Richard Lainhart's performance from Handmade Music Night at Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, New York. Richard chose his Buchla 200e Electric Music Box not only because of its compact size and functional density, but also because it's the only patch able modular synthesizer with preset memory, making it ideal for live performance."

Cyndustries Photon Interface

"Why work in the dark? An elegant new lighting solution for your system and hand-playable optical voltage processor module is available all-in-one right now!

Each Photon Interface module comes with a durable black metal Littlelite brand high-intensity gooseneck lamp, a rheostat dimmer, heavy duty right-angle 4-pin panel connectors, and an independent 12 Volt DC power transformer for dependable system lighting right where you need it. The lower half of the module features a highly
sensitive photocell with its own dedicated voltage processor which makes for a great performance controller when your hand passes between photocell and lamp, (you can even tease this photocell from across the room with flashlights or lasers if you like...)

The voltage processor has an adjustable attenuator and comparator and offers both positive and inverted outputs. Rushing the photocell suddenly with your hand will also generate a Gate Output for triggering different things, and you can switch between an external signal input or an adjustable internal voltage supply simply with the pull of a knob.

Photon InterfaceThis is an illuminating little module with lots of fun and usefulness!"

Audio Damage Vapor Product Page is Up

"What on earth is diffusion chorus? As the name implies, it has diffusion (sort of a red-headed step-child of reverb) and modulating delays (which, as we all know, equals "chorus"). Vapor takes this underused effect, usually only available in high-end hardware boxes, and makes it available to anyone.

Vapor's main purpose is to add top-end shimmer to pads, strings, and rhythm guitar to make those sounds cut through the mix. However, at more extreme settings, unique modulation effects can easily be attained."

Bruce Forat Interview?

I might be able to conduct a Bruce Forat interview. If you have any questions you always wanted to ask him, feel free to leave them in the comments. If you don't know who Bruce Forat is, check out these previous posts.

The following are some starter questions I am thinking of asking. I am always fascinated by the history of things in the synth world along with giving people somewhat of an open format to share things they want to share.

1. Can you give us some history about how Forat came to be?
2. What was your main motivation behind what you did with Linn? (if this is answered with 1, then chuck it of course.)
3. How closely have you been watching the synth market and what are you thoughts?
4. Can you tell us a bit about your customizations of the mpc4000?

PSP Traxxpad and roland SH-1000 jam part 2

Synth Guitar Unit Selector

images via this auction.

"CHD SYNTH UNIT SELECTOR.......an extremely useful floor pedal, well lit with indication lights, that routes a synth signal from any compatible instrument, a guitar with GK-2A pick up , which I used, or a keyboard synth,using a 13 pin Roland cable ,enabling a one in, to a possible three out......one, two or three synth modules at one time. It could not be any easier and simple to layer sound than this."
