Anything posted will be taken down if it is at all synth-collector oriented, chiptune-related, dull, or sheeplike.
Otherwise, if it relates to electronic music somehow, fire away.
Photos of vintage keyboards are not welcome -- unless they're STRANGE keyboards. Links to ebay auctions of vintage gear are not welcome -- unless it's a homebrew piece of freaky warped weirdness.
All tech must be ODD. Germanium transistors, arcane synth modules, vacuum tubes, steam-powered piston oscillators, whatever -- it has to be WRONG.
Unusual controllers are always welcome. If something looks like a Minimoog or has a piano-ish keyboard, it's usually boring and we aren't interested.
Press releases have to concern oddities, and must not come from any manufacturer who makes more than $100k per year.

It had two fatal problems. One was the firmware, which was never designed to have multiple switches send the same note-on/note-off messages. I was ready to spend some money on a programmer and compiler to fix that for him, actually.
The second problem though was that the curviture of the unit would flatten out slowly in hot weather. There was no metal chassis. Once the unit flattened out a few degrees the keys wouldn’t move properly.
Ultimately I sent it back to him. It’s a pity, it’s a nicer controller in theory than the AXiS-64 or Zendrum.
I owned the first one he sold.
