KORG DDD-1 Sound ROM Mods
"In development at the moment now are new ROM chips and a new PCB add on kit for the DDD-1. Fitting our add on PCB kit will enable you to use our new ROM chips that will expand the sounds of your DDD-1 with lots of new lo-fi crunchy sounds for which the DDD-1 is known and loved. Gone are the days of endlessly searching for those elusive, hard to find ROM cards. DDD-1 owners with no ROM cards will be able to fit the new add on PCB kit and expand their machine easily with many new sounds."click here for more info. via altemark.
Small French-Swiss Synth Gathering on Sept 22 2007
via yusynth."On september the 22nd was held a small meeting of some Swiss and French analogue synth geeks in Saint-Fortuna (a small village in the wonderfull and wild region of Ardèches in France). You can find some nice pictures of this meeting on this French speaking forum.
Among these photos you'll find some good shots of the my new MOS-LAB custom system. Yes, I am the lucky owner of this very first model ;-) You'll find also a photo of a CS15 that was moded to increase the resonance range of the Yamaha filter. The description of this mod can be found on my yusynth forum (french speaking).
There were also some inspiring jams that were video taped and that might be downloadable someday..."

FreqBox vs Virus Pt-02 (Toys 'n Noise)
YouTube via Analogger. Follow up to this post.
"This time I put the FreqBox thru the Lowpass Filter. Again into the Access Virus. A Roland MPU-101 gated the Virus and also step modulated the oscillator frequency on the FreqBox. I put the osc in both "synced" and "non-synced" modes. I basically just hit the low E string on my guitar with a couple other notes thrown in when I wasn't twisting knobs. The rhythm pattern comes from my sequencer which is triggering the Virus. The Virus is set to "external input" so there is no internal sound...just that which is being fed into it from the FreqBox."

Atomo Labs Mochika Sequencer
images via this auction."hand built Analog sequencer synthesizer created by Alfredo Aliaga for Atomo Labs.
This synth features one square and saw waveform VCO (voltage controled oscillator) with a huge pitch range, from subsonic to ultrasonic sound
One square and triangle waveform LFO (low frequency oscillator), that modulates the VCO for the vibrato effect creating old school arcade Atari-like sounds.
White noise generator that triggers the VCO and can create percussion like sounds.
8 step Sequencer with note on/off switch and pitch knob for each step
It features a 1/4 inch audio output, 1/4 inch CV Output (to control other analog gear), 1/4 inch Clock input (gate in, to sync whit an external analog clock, like another analog sequencer), 1/4 inch Gate/clock output.(to sync whit other analog gear using the Mochika's internal clock)
Also the instrument is ligthed with 2 red ultra bright leds that indicates the LFO and Sequencer Rate, and 8 red ultra bright leds to indicate the step that is being played. Very useful when you play it on a dark stage.
The Analog Sequencer is packed in a cool cristal acrilic case that shows all the hand made analog circuitry.
The instrument is powered directly from 110V or 220V AC, rubber feet, and comes with operation manual.
Dimensions: 9 inch(W), 7 inch(D), 3 1/4 inch(H. incuded rubber feet and knobs)"

Thomas Dolby 1986 Interview on EM
click here for the interview. There is plenty of synth talk of course."I chose to use the largest part of the space for the control room, in order to accommodate my video equipment (a small Sony ¼-inch editing system, Fairlight CVI, and a large screen Barco projector over the mixing board) along with a large battery of electronic percussion (Emu SP12, Linn 9000, and assorted Simmons and PPG modules) and my new Fairlight Series III and Emulator II. I've never sold a keyboard, even my first two — a Micromoog and a Roland JP4 with which I recorded everything in 'She Blinded Me With Science.'"
I wonder if that is still the case.

Two More Modular Noodles via Appliancide
Click here for the link to them. Spot the cat."They are single pass recordings with all of the same limitations as the previous two tracks. They are called "how rude" and "falling up the stairs". Falling up the stairs is my favorite so far of the modular recordings that I've done.I also put up a couple of catsynth pictures there. I moved the other two modular tracks to soundclick but if anyone wants to hear them, they can listen to them directly from my blog at http://appliancide.blogspot.com. There you will find links to all of my modular noodles as well as a bunch of my old music, which is mostly soft-synth and sample based.
Korg Maxi-Korg K3 (800DV) Vintage Synthesizer 1975
images via this auction."This is a unique vintage 1975 Korg Maxi-Korg synthesizer - serial number 0594! This synth is also known as the Korg 800DV and Univox K3 but was sold in the US under the name Maxi-Korg K3. The power of the Maxi-Korg lay in the way it could create and play sounds. In essence, it was two Korg 700S synths in a single box, so you could treat it as two distinct synths, creating two different sounds, and then playing them independently. Some other mid-'70s synths allowed you to play two notes, but these used the same patch parameters for both. Only the Maxi-Korg could produce two sounds that you could play as a composite, or as two independent synths. Yet this was only half the story, because the 800DV allowed you to allocate the voices in a huge variety of ways. This made it possible to program more realistic, more expressive, or more off-the-wall sounds than was possible on other monosynths. The Maxi-Korg was, and remains, one of the most impressive, flexible and articulate synths ever built."
