Sex!



Wow, super sorry about the lack of updates. I've even been getting emails about it!! Thanks for hanging in there folks. The truth is i've been extremely sick for, shit, the past couple of months now. Something I thought was no big deal in the fall has turned into a serious problem over Christmas/January. Not life-threatening (it seems) and I'm recovering now and should be back to my regular 110% in about 6 weeks. I'm doing better though, but honestly this has been a BIG deal and has just killed my ability to do much at all.

Anyway, I have a TON of posts 'saved up', ready to go, planned for when I can get to it - and it'll be soon! People have written, sent in info, all sorts of good stuff. I have some cool news and interesting stuff coming up for everyone. I plan to at least get a few posts up over the weekend, and by next week get through most of the stuff I have planned... anyway again sorry and please stay tuned!





Thought I would catch your attention with the word 'Sex' and then get you horny with some sexy shots of my newest synth config - thanks to the awesome oldschool Wiard controller I snagged on the 'bay

cheers folks, be well

This Week's Frac-Rack News! Crazy!

No, not a new weekly feature here, but the results of a flurry of news from the Frac-Rack world!

First, and this is *major*, The Wiard Synthesizer Company has announced on their mailing list that they will be discontinuing the 1200 series (Frac-Rack Modules), and bringing the classic 300 series back to reglar production.

This is very mixed news, that impacts me in a few ways. First, I've just shuffled a bunch of funds, and have made a large payment to secure the remaining modules I need for my 'master plan' frac system, which required 2 of each of the 1200 series Wiard modules (one of each in black and blue!). Next, I'm bummed that there won't be new 1200 Series modules, in particular the Woggle Bug and the VCO. Finally, I'm extremely excited about the return of the 300 series. In fact, I can tell you right now that this will FOR SURE be my 'next format' after I'm done with Frac-Rack (actually, I'll probably start BEFORE I'm done with Frac-Rack). Tough beans Euro-Rack, this means you'll have to wait a LONG LONG time to see any of my money. Anyway, no more 1200's, and the return of the 300. Really interesting news. If you covet any 1200-series modules (they are all freakin' FANTASTIC), get your orders in fast - Grant will continue to build them only until his parts are depleted.

Next, Shawn from Analogue Haven dropped me a line to mention that the Bananalogue LPFA (see earlier post) should be in stock this week, along with the frac-rack version of the Livewire Frequensteiner module. He included a photo of the 'Frac'uensteiner, and I'm happy to say that it has a BLACK front panel (as opposed to "classic" Livewire silver), so it'll look great in all our frac systems! I won't post the image here, because Matrixsynth already did it. Anyway, thanks Shawn for the tip!

Finally, in MOTM news, Paul mentioned on the mailing list that PCBs are being stuffed for the next run of Frac'd MOTM modules. No more details, except that they will be available at Analog Haven as usual, and that the MOTM VCO will be one of the new modules. Cool stuff!
