Holy bujeezus. Check this thread on Vintage Synth.org for the full-size of this collection, which belongs to some California bloke, nom de plume of "dougt." Talk about a patching frenzy. Tip o' the porn-hat to rasmus\…
Persuant to a conversation taking place on the Analog Heaven mailing list, Henry Birdseye put up an MP3 of an early Moog demo record that was shipped out with liturature c. 1963. It's pretty corny, and certainly good…
Brandon Daniel has dumped more pics from NAMM on his site, so go have a browse. Warning: includes high-res photo of the Gaytar.
Well, it's been an interesting day. Ever since we released Phase Two (way back in the day, it seems; was it only Sunday?) we've been discussing the transition to Universal Binaries, and how Audio Damage would deal with…
Since there are a lot of industry people that read this blog (although, god only knows why, when it's so likely I'm gonna talk shit about them) I thought I'd have an HCGPF Special Roland Edition, in case anyone from…
Brandon Daniel has put up pics of some of the analog highlights at NAMM. Check his site for the goods. (Click on NAMM shows- Winter- 2006.) Of special note are the Chaos Computer from Livewire, which looks outstanding…
This is a great DIY project from Rutger Vlek. He's kept a diary about building it, which is informative reading if you're thinking about taking on a project of this scale. The synth itself, called "Ocean," is 3VCO…

Our good friend Lorne Hammond organized an Analog Event at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC over the weekend, and a local music school brought out this vintage Buchla modular. No particular reason for…
Maybe not. There's this band called "The Postal Service" on SubPop. They have a video. The new Apple w/ Intel ad (you no doubt saw during the Golden Globes last night like 14 times) is basically a straight rip of the…
Speaking as someone who makes a not-insignificant percentage of his yearly income providing music for console games, I read this article, The Rise and Fall of Game Audio by Matt Barton, with interest. I'll save you the…
I don't know if this is fit for public consumption yet. It didn't come to me via the normal channels (e.g. Shawn from Analog Haven.) However, if you click here, you'll get a PDF that is the brochure for the…
PhaseTwo can now be purchased for instant gratification. Go forth.
SM Pro Audio is gonna drop the PM8 summing buss at NAMM. I thought we would start to see more low-cost summing mixers now that everyone realizes that DAWs can't sum for shit. And lo, and furthermore hark, here we have…
