Goodbye Mike. Thank you for this place.
To say that the Community you created had a huge impact on my life is an understatement.
There are not enough sad bananas on the internet to emote how I feel right now. You will be missed.

I was just reflecting on the synth lines in the song Tyrants by Black Mountain. I really like that solo, and having seen them live I'm pretty sure it's a Moog Source. Well, I just did a search on line to try and confirm, and saw that hey had all of their gear stolen in Sweden last October. http://ex...

Nice system. The 1490 is one of my favourite filters.

DUAL DRUMMERS FTW!!!
I love it when live bands have two drummers.

I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get to see her in Austin when I went down for Levitation.

I'm sorry I missed Alessandro Cortini when he came to Toronto this year. I saw him a few years back when he did a quadraphonic Buchla set in The Underground at The Drake Hotel. The four speakers were placed in the corners and the Cortini was set up in the middle of the room. I got a little dizzy wal...

2015 was a dismal year for me in terms of live shows, as I didn't get out to see a single concert that year. I really enjoy live acts, so that made me a little sad. At the start of 2016 I made a resolution to get out for more live music. Here is a list of what I managed to take in this year; Boris, ...

Thee Oh Sees - A Weird Exists This is definitely one of my top picks for 2016. That said, I think hands down the best release of the year is Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. Full of Awesome :hail: The video for People Vultures is epic [video]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6f78_...

Wow. Sad news indeed, but I totally understand the decision with regards to parts availability.
Get 'em while you can, kids. One of the most versatile modules out there. I would be scooping up a couple, if I didn't already own 4 of them

Back from my psychedelic pilgrimage to the Desert. Hats off to the keyboardist from Glitter Wizard for rocking some Wiard 300 on stage. There was a crazy amount of dust and sand in the air out there, so I hope the modules aren't any worse off for the wear. My girlfriend has some pics. I'll try and p...

You might like Boris.

jon spencer blues explosion... ...and also In The Red -- you already like a lot of that label's stuff, but don't forget Vivian Girls, Reigning Sound, Blank dogs, the strange boys . :love: :love: :love: JSBX! :hail: Been a fan for years. And wow...you're right. In The Red is stacked. There were quit...

I checked out Thee Milkshakes, The Mighty Caesars, and Thee Headcoats. Some good stuff there. I can really hear the influence Childish had on Thee Oh Sees.
I really like his paintings, too.

Wow, thanks noisejockey. I've checked out the first 3, so far, and they are great. I'm really liking the Gnod this morning. It fits my headspace perfectly.

The Seeds, The Cramps, The Sonics, Nuggets compilation, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Electric Prunes, Chocolate Watchband Some great bands there, but with the exception of BJM they are mostly vintage. It's the sound of the neo-psych stuff that has caught my ear, as of late. Brian Jonestown is a great ...

There is a power switch on the back of the case when the internal PSU is installed. No need for the 50B. In fact, I thought I read somewhere that it was discontinued.

audiosignal wrote: Thanks! Do you mean the Dual LFO as well as the Quad LFO in this same 12U system?
.

Yes. The Dual LFO is WAY more than just a modulator. It is based on the Serge DUSG. It's a Slope Generator, and can perform many different functions.

Love The Gizz! I got to see the Nonagon Infinity tour this year. They were great!
I'll be sure to check out some of the other stuff you mention.

Planning a single-tier 12U Modcan system is extremely challenging for me. Good-luck! The 31B 4VCA works great as a mixer, so no issues there. I'm not sure I agree with your logic regarding EGs. I don't use a keyboard either, but patch with EGs often. If you plan to ever use a sequencer with your mod...

Anyone else into this? I've pretty much had my head in an electronic bubble for the last 20 years, but this year I've been listening to a ton of this stuff. Bands like Thee Oh Sees, Wand, Ty Segall, Fuzz.
Can anyone suggest more stuff like this? I can't seem to get enough.

Don't feel like a quitter. There is no reason to feel bad for cashing out, if it brings you no joy. Life is too short for that shit.

Who are Vox Glitch? #3 on the Euro timeline?! Why have I not heard of them?

Roger's website says "since the late 90s" and mentions a June, 2000 appearance in Analog Haven.

My bad. I think Synthesizers.com was 1996.

Some more;
Wiard 1999
DotCom 1996
E-mu 1972

Edit: corrected year for .com
