Yeah! My thought exactly. But I only need this much. I can spare some if you'd like.

Modular cabinet?

^ No, but that's a good idea.

First, cheeks for the Minitaur, then more of the same for a couple of DIY project boxes, CP-251 style. I have a couple of euro-format modules and DIY psu, now in a tea box, but I will want to organize them into a better looking cabinet. Thin wood planks (there are 9mm thick) is hard to find and these ready cut pieces would be great and save a lot of wood work. The smooth side of these show nice grain pattern and gel stain works on pretty good on them.

Some First Friday junk store finds...

Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR2L Drum Machine....$20
Panasonic RS803US 8 track recorder + several blank 8 tracks...$25
Tascam M308 mixer...$50

...

And a Planet Waves Miniheadstock Tuner for easy tuning of my old Supro Acoustic...

Steinberg WaveLab 7. After using WaveLab 3 since 1999 for audio mastering, two track editing, montages and CD burning I decided it was time to upgrade . Have not had any complaints working with WL 3 all of these years, the real time interaction ha always been a plus.

Bought an old reed organ fully restored for $40. No legs, but I am making those.

Arturia Minibrute. It is an attractive, enjoyable, inexpensive little synth that I believe will become well regarded and historically significant. It is quite expressive in itself, but running it through some MF's and effect pedals makes it all kinds of fun.

Congrats on all your latest purchases, gents!

Yes, the huge success of the Minibrute (demand greater than supply for a long while) is most probably responsible for other companies like Moog and Korg to come up with the Sub Phatty and Mini MS20 respectively.

These are good times for knobby analog synths again, as a younger generation discovers the joys of such machines and can finally afford real analog gear (all under $1K) with the irreplaceable hand-on experience !

Just received a few more ‘utility’ modules for my Dotcom modular synth: Two ADSR envelope generators, a Ring Modulator, a Panner/Fader, an Instrument Interface (for interfacing with MoogerFoogers), and a 3-1/1-3 Selector Selector (a live performance aid module).



Also got the T-shirt...

Nice stuff, but the T-shirt ain't modulating much at amount set to 0

ahh, but maybe it's an inverting attenuator, in which case, it's at max modulation.

I have that shirt too. My wife says it sums me up perfectly.

a gift to inspire







also for me !

Nice photo also.

Thanks!

I really enjoy this new kind of controlling my sounds... but it's quite difficult.
