I have a Boog Model D, but the SE-02 does seem attractive because of all the MIDI driven control on offer.

Dammit, Fender have just released a bunch of Mexican made Acoustasonics for just under a grand (GBP), tempting, very tempting.

Finally!

^^ Neat, tho I'd rather have a taylor T-series myself. Not sure I would buy a mexican fender either,
unless it was super cheap. I don't consider $1200 super cheap.

Nothing wrong with them I'm sure, it's more about the value of it. Guitars are an investment,
the way I look at it (mostly).

Otherwise I would have 30 guitars (again).

Added some Random*Source 4x4 modules to my banana corner.
The two boats and six of the modules in the lower-left corner arrived this week, care of our old friend Sickle.
I can't wait for the TKB to arrive!

^^^ I like the two thingies on the upper-row of the left unit, with Pittsburgh Modular knobs. Filters, modulators, or oscillators?

Birthday is the week after next, for which the adorable missus is getting (has got) me a Wasp. Shortly after that, I'll get myself a Korg Opsix. So I will be making some squelchy techno with ear-splitting digital screeching as icing on the top. My fervent hope is to annoy both the neighbours and their dogs.

I just bought this second-hand Tanglewood Discovery classical guitar and 4 D606 drum microphones by Pulse ...

Cost less than £100 for the lot.

Cheers vurt. I was the only bidder on the guitar. Got it for £25 (plus postage) ... thanks to Russ (The Noodlist) for the heads up on the microphones.

my acoustic is tanglewood, the ovation copy.
as far as im concerned its a lovely sounding acoustic, maybe not martin or taylor, but for my fingers more than good enough

On the far left in the top row is a clone of the Buchla 258 dual oscillator and on the right in that same row is a clone of the Buchla 291 dual bandpass filter. Both from Stroh modular. You can get them pre-assembled I think but I built mine. I wrote about the 291j here and the 258j here.

The 258j is one of my favorite oscillators. It doesn't do the standard wave shapes very well and I never really calibrated it but the linear FM is incredible and sweeping the wave shape control sounds really nice.

The 291j is supremely weird. It's kind of a vactrol filter but it has an FM input which can be modulated at audio rate. Each bandpass filter is actually a lowpass filter and a hipass filter in series. So you have variable bandwidth (which also controls the resonance) and the center frequency. There is also a crossfader which mixes the two bandpass filters, which makes it really nice as resonator.It can even get into some simple formant territory.

Yeah, he seems be doing okay. We chat occasionally but you know, I'm not the most sociable person.

Will check those out. TY

Just noticed I had forgotten about being interested in the stroh modular dual mirror core osc.
