  1. WTB: Analog Monosynth...

    I'm looking for a monosynth in the sub-$500 neck of the woods. I'm thinking along the lines of a Prodigy, CS-15, SH-7, OB-1, MS-10, etc. You know what I mean. If you've got something like this, don't live in Outer…

  2. Synthesis Technology getting out of kit biz...

    Paul Schreiber has just announced that, as of 1/1/07, MOTM modules will no longer be available in kit form, as he is moving the entire production to SMT processes, and only crazy people like Adam will build SMT kits…

  3. A solution in search of a problem...

    You might remember the Optimus keyboard (yeah, the one with a little OLED screen in each key) making the rounds a few months ago. Well, Art.Lebedev has actually brought a similar product to market, even though the…

  4. Fucktard(s) of the week (Special Wanking Edition)

    If someone tried to pull this shit out on a session I was working on, I'd say "okay, dude, you're not getting paid per note." The absolute worst form of musical masturbation, now with makeup and pleather.

  5. The Halfway House...

    So, I got everything I needed to rack up this V376 cartridge I bought, then I discovered that the Par-Metal rack chassis I ordered is, uh, too good for the job? Something. The aluminum top and bottom plates are so thick…

  6. A Good Deal...

    An aquaintance of mine is selling a Vintech Dual 72 for the ludicrously low price of $899. I don't need to tell you that this is a really good deal for this box. I'd buy it myself, but I've reached my gear quota for…

  7. Using a Rosetta w/ a MOTU box...

    I got this question in my email this morning from a Bill: I just ordered a rosetta 800 and was curious as to how to hook it up to the MOTU. For now, I just want to use as a front-end (not using with the firwire card)…

  8. Audio Damage Pulse Modulator Now Available (sort of...)

    The new issue of Computer Music, 102, is on newstands now, and as I've previously reported, contains a free full-featured Audio Damage effect, called Pulse Modulator. This plug is a triple-LFO tremolo/distortion effect…

  9. No More Wire Hangers!

    Paul Schreiber, owner of Synthtech, dropped this info on pertinent mailing lists last night: The EU's import ban on leaded solder begins July 1st. If you are interested in DIY/repair/kit building, I \ strongly suggest\…

  10. Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street...

    The trumpet player looks like my 9th grade English teacher. That's creepy. Otherwise, fly as it gets. I'd go so far as to say super fly. The vamp at the end is awesome. What a great performance. What I really like is…

  11. More info on the Buzz 500-series compressor...

    Tim Farrant from Buzz Audio dropped the following info about the new Essence compressor: We have the pricing for the 500 Series ESSENCE compressor worked out - it will street for US$875. The ESSENCE has a Lundhal 1540…

  12. SSL Duende first user review...

    Continuing my Duende fetish, here's the first review I've seen. People that had ordered them started receiving the first units this week, so we'll see some more of these. (I should just make a reusable Duende icon now…

  13. Time, with real tube warmth...

    I always thought nixie clocks were cool, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. Eric Barbour of Metasonix fame dropped this bad boy on me. Check it: the electronics of the clock are also tube-based, not just the…

  14. Branding a dot com...

    Okay, so we've been out of Audio Damage t-shirts in Real People sizes for quite a while. Some tiny German dude just bought the last two out of the store, both smalls. I've received enough email requests to make it…
