Synth Porn Saturday: This mysterious shot, via Teenage Engineering, is of a “custom built machine, ready for delivery.”

Can you guess what it is?

Synth Porn Saturday: David at Auditory Canvas posted this shot of his custom white Akai APC40:

I’m not going to add any lettering etc as i like the minimal look, and it enables me to reassign some of the buttons and knobs without them then being labeled wrongly.

Saturday Synth Porn: Gaze on the Synthi 100, from the Cantos Museum.

The EMS Synthi 100 was a large analogue synthesizer made by Electronic Music Studios (London) Ltd. It was released in 1974 and cost $25,000. Around 30 units (29, according to some sources) were built during the 1970s and 1980s.

The Synthi 100 was developed from a combination of three VCS-3 Systems, ending up with 12 VCOs, two keyboards (each of it duophonic, making it possible to play 4 voices simultaneously), and a 3-track 256-step monophonic digital sequencer. Two 64 x 64 patchbays were used to connect the different modules.
