What you give is what you get.
Music
- My Music
- A page of MP3s of my various songs, audio constructions, dittys and ambiences.
- Rusty Insects
- My project studio where it all comes together. Photos and a complete gearlist with links.
Synthesizers
- Serge Modular Synthesizer Pages
- Here you will find a number of webpages covering the unique, hugely-flexible and great-sounding "Mighty Serge". Reviews, resources, panel descriptions, pictures and data.
- Waldorf MicrowaveXT
- My extensive Microwave2/XT "Tips & Tricks" page with a huge array of programming workshops, tips, wavetables and other useful bits of flotsam and jetsam.
- Waldorf Microwave Wavetables
- Wavetable charts of all the Waldorf Microwave ROM Wavetables with waveform and spectrum images. Be patient, its still a work-in-progress.
- My SCI Pro-One Project
- The step-by-step refurbishment and modification of an old Sequential Circuits Pro-One analog monosynth. A well deserved bit of attention for a great little synth! Lots of photos.
- DSI Evolver
- A resource page dedicated to Dave Smith's best synthesizer yet, the Evolver. MP3s, "Tips & Tricks", Wavecharts, The Definitive Guide to the Evolver and lots more!
- Ensoniq VFX
- An old favorite of mine that still delights me as a programmer. This unusual "performance synth" from the late 80s packs quite a punch and is worthy of a second look - especially at today's prices ;)
- Korg OASYS
- A page devoted to an absolute jewel of a monster keyboard, the incomparable OASYS! Synth engines galore wrapped up in a dream interface of plastic and metal.
- Korg Lambda ES-50
- The Korg Lambda is a fascinating, overlooked vintage polyphonic ensemble instrument that hides a fat polyphonic orchestra beneath its mild-mannered exterior. Manual and Schematics are available here too...
- Moog's "Little Phatty"
- Find out why this Moog monosynth is such an attractive buy. And what a great design, especially compared to similarly-priced vintage synths such as the Prodigy and the Rogue.
- The Syntar
- Years ahead of its time in terms of live player control, the Performance Music Systems Syntar is very much a "hidden gem". Still unparalleled in many ways!
- Alesis Fusion
- My personal history with the recent synthesizer offering from Alesis. In my opinion this workstation offers massive bang-for-the-buck...plus some really unexpected surprises.
- The EDP Wasp
- This "nasty" little two-osc monosynth from the late seventies packs quite a punch! A strange filter design, "touch" keyboard and a checkered past make this synth unique.
- Roland Juno-60
- The aquaintence of this old 1-osc polysynth prompted this little review. The Juno60 turned out to be a very pleasent surprise!
- The Fizmo Fix
- The Ensoniq Fizmo is an overlooked beast of a synthesizer, despised by some, loved by a few. If you are one of the latter, you owe it to yourself to fix the Fizmo's deadly "birth defect"!
- Closeup Gear Pics
- Just what it says - nothing but in-your-face pictures of synths and electonic hardware. Just a fun chance to test my closeup meddle with the other gearsluts ;)
