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 ;)

Graphics

Flavor of the Moment
I'm going to throw six current images of mine up here every now and then. Feel free to use these as wallpaper or bird cage liners...

Gallery 1

Biographical

About Me
A page regarding my interests with some fun links. Probably a bit boring for all but the most rabid visitors.

Gnosis
A simple little poem from me to the Universe...or is it from the universe to Me? ;)

Various

Brew Du Jour
My impressions of micro brews and craft brews that are unique, off the beaten track or simply praiseworthy. My paen to the brew of the gods.
My Home-Made Laptop
A project of mine to make a laptop out of an old paintbox and scavenged industrial PC parts. People pestered me to put this one up :)
