Once in a while I get the Monome mailing list, which updates you on how they’re still unavailable. It’s very uninformative to say the least, but I like how they’re beginning to take on a Soup Nazi tone.

“those on the list will receive invoices on monday, january 19 at 1pm EST. the list is closed, do not e-mail us asking to get on it.”

You can at least be polite when telling people not to email you about a product you will sell to them. On the website they decided to be a bit more friendly, “please do not e-mail us to confirm your position”.

To this I say, “No soup for you! Come back one year!”

Anyways the plan for the new year is to find a niche for this project i’ve started. Instead of producing one-off video tutorials, i’m working on compiling some sort of TV show cause I think that would be fun.

I also want to make some sort of database that’s useful to everyone. KVR pretty much has all the plugins covered, so i’m looking to go in a different direction than another vst db.

Oh and i’ll be rebranding soon cause The Bulk Dump is far too inside a joke. If I do change the name everything will redirect cleanly.

So sit tight, and thanks to everyone who has been patient with me thus far.

This really caught my attention because over here in North America all everyone talks about are vintage Moogs and Korgs, that sort of thing. If you want to start collecting, your selections are rather thin.

I’m curious to learn more about why the Soviets were so involved in making their own synths, as well if they were exporting them during the Cold War, or if foreign people had to wait for the fall of Communism there to get their hands on these machines.

Be sure to search on youtube to see if you can find a demo of the synth before considering your purchase.
