I just got my Doepfer 9U a couple of days ago and this is what I filled it with before I had to take it all out again and try filling it again properly:The black one on top is called Dante the larger frankensynth underneath it is called Virgil and the stuff in the foreground doesn't have a name... maybe Roland...

Hey people, been awhile. Just starting to get back into it now the summer (?) activities have died down. Here's a pic of my modules going into a cabinet with the truly mind blowing Klee sequencer at the top. I have about 2 rows of modules now.Wondering if anyone is going to the Synth DIY event this year in Renton Wa. here's the lowdown from down south.In an e-mail exchange with John Marshall he

Well if Dave is going to play show and tell, so am I. My name is George and I've recently re-activated my love/obession with music/electronics. Not going to give my age but i'm old enought to know better.I live in Victoria and I decided to build a modular, something I always wanted to do. Analog electronics is having a huge resurgence these days, so it seems like the right time.Here's some shots

Hey everyone. My name is Dave. I'm 24 years old and absolutely obsessed with modular synthesis. I come from a very musical background and started on piano way back. I soon after went full force with guitar. I've picked up other instruments such as tenor sax, violin , bass, drums, larynx among others but guitar is still my main thing. I'm a bit if a gear-head. Before we get to the modular stuff,

I picked up the Moog Freq Box this week, as it finally arrived in town. It appears Moog had been having some problems with the final production of this latest moogerfooger. I got it from NJAMS here in Vancouver, so my thanks goes out to Chris & Kate for putting up with my constant inquiries since June as to it's arrival. So yeah, NJAMS are stocking them along with the full 'fooger line & this

With the introduction of DSI's new Prophet 08 I've been wondering to myself if a lot of the used PE's would start showing up on ebay, AH, etc???Well I obviously don't know if it is just a coincidence put I see AH has two PE's in their used section for about $1800.

Well, I have to say the meeting we had last Sunday was quite good. Where most meetings it ended up being Darren and I and someone else, we had 6 people attend, and it stretched out to 3 and a half hours long.A lot was discussed. I would be hard pressed to put together minutes. However, here is the gist of it for people that want to know: -Musical education -mid 80's Korg synthesizers -

Well it's meeting time again as we are coming up on the 2nd weekend of the month.A few people can't make it for the usual Saturday-noon at The Grind so we are going to try for Sunday at a new local.This meeting will then be held Sunday August 12th @ The Elysian Room, 1778 W.5th Ave. in Vancouver, at 1pm instead of noon.

One of the members named Al, recently informed me that Liquidation World's around the Low. Mainland are clearing out NOS R.S. stock. In other words there are some deals to be had for the avid DIY'er. :-)I've been to the Richmond location & spent $5.65 on about 20 pots, a handful of caps & a few other things!!! At regular prices this would have cost me in the neighborhood of $90, uummm.... can u

This picture was taken from bluesynth.com. Its another DIY modular. This is more my style. I love the metal on metal look, and the kind of knobs that were used.However, I don't like the flat paneled look.Which leads me to the following post on matrixsynth. I think a mixture of the two, with a control interface/sequencer as part of the bottom row, and a modulation section as part of the second to

Well.... seems the group is moving towards a modular synth focus.That's fine by me!! I wanted it that way in the first place anywho!!!So, I found this post on Matrixsynth about a Swedish synth diy'er or perhaps he's just Euro. of some kind. Anyways, i downloaded an image of his rig & i'll try to post it here, w/any luck??Needless to say he's definitely got the right idea in my books!!! This is

Thought I'd post some minutes from the meeting. Me & Jason discussed:- Future locations & date/time of our scheduled meetings. We feel that ultimately Saturdays @ 12- 1 PM is most logical & conveniant for most people. Sorry to those that work @ this time :-( As for the local??? Well... we probably could find somewhere better than The Grind? Maybe somewhere near a Skytrain

A few changes to the blog. I worked around the color scheme a bit for one thing, and changed all the text to a sans serif font. Its a bit simpler this way, I find it. Pretty much the only extravagance on the page is that little picture of a synthesizer under all the links, which actually doubles as a post button (I noticed blogger doesn't have one embedded in their pages by default, so I added

Just wanted to chime in and say a few things. If anybody has any links they would like added or any other kind of information or layout suggestions, feel free to mention it. I spent a little while combing through my bookmarks to make a bit of a list on the side here, but there is a bunch that I have missed I am sure.Also, wanted to point out that we meet every second Saturday of the month.
