      Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news. I've been looking at the frequency shifters, wild phasers and the like for a long time. The world is poorer now.

      The Living VCOs and Vocoder will be a mighty testament to his genius.

      indeed. i've never bought boards from him as i felt the projects were still over my head. eg when i heard the phaser demo i thought it's the best sounding phaser i've ever heard.

  2. Monday. It was always lurking out there until it hit me :(

      True dat! It's more the shock of the sudden-ness than the inevitable work of Father Time.

      Now I can finish some moar LPC17s, the 2 SEQ4Ls, some Shruthis (with Polivoks filters - yay!) and there's trimmers for 10 PCBs.

  4. Feeling like uncle McDouche - must finish the modular... It's a wiring job of epic proportions...

      you´re right man, btw. when USA would revoke all tax exceptions that have been granted for churches and churchlike-enterprises, they could send a rover every two weeks :)

      Haha, that would imply that preachers and religious guys would have to actually work and think instead of snitching away people's money with bogus claims... But hey, let's dream on!

      Regardless, they did get the Curiosity rover landed! Organized religion, meh! War on shampoo: suxxorz! TSA can go suck eggs.

    2. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Mmm, I read about it somewhere. Wasn't it something about drilling holes for the switch shafts since there was nothing in particular at those places of the LCD/OLED PCB? ;-)

      jojjelito

      It was a fast build, but the weekend and other after-work activities made me leave it half-fisnished until next week :( Still, it was a nice clean build. Good luck with the customs!

  17. Cabinet and PSU done. The good ole MB-SEQv4 boots up normally once more, this time it controls a whole lot more show plus blinkenlichts. I want to do all the analog bits ASAP and make weird, wonderful noises!

      I think of her tracks as milestones for those who love Disco Music

    2. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      I guess they were good Disco (if there is such a thing), but I Feel Love, State of Independence (Jon&Vangelis cover) etc are good.

    3. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      But the 5usd thing is a start :)

  23. Totally not MIDIbox: Had an epiphany, updated to Reason 6.5 and purchased the Fairlight Platinum Refill for my 80's cravings and more. Awesome stuff! http://bitley.laconicsounds.net/
