I get flooded with stupid bot comments about auntie dotties dishwasher and stupid crap like that, but I think I am going to leave them in as a weird art installation.

On the subject of what AnalogBus is doing besides producing what seems to be vapor…
We have had some setbacks do to both Ian, Kevin, David, and mine work schedules, also funding has been a huge issue (yes we got a lot of cool toys, probably way to many), illnesses have also held up things. This is not to make excuses we have had times of really bright ideas, times of laziness and infighting. But, basically to not put too fine of a point on it we have been dang lazy….

This is coming to a close, we are going to get the modules out. The plot twist? They originally were going to be for Euro and Frac, but a change of heart. Our main target is going to be the Buchla 200e series (the applicable modules will still be produced for Euro and Frac). We feel these modules fit the spirit of the Buchla and fill in a few holes, that many say are not there but I really feel they will be a whole lot more successful on the Buchla, specially considering the huge glut of new (some quite nice) modules. Tony and Gur you are doing a FANTASTIC job! Let me not leave off Malekko teaming up with Grant, you guys have brought Wiard to us commoners! But I digress, I dont think we would be able to get a toehold into the Euro market, specially after the semi announcements to a few people, the languishing blog the vapor that has poured out of hear for the last 2 years. Yes we have made prototypes, yes I immediately tear most of them down in disgust.

But I know soon, very soon (if it’s Gods will) we will release these modules to the public. They will be sold, but when I say release I mean release, all schematics and code will be out for the public, if you want to build your own thats AWESOME!

Ok this has rambled and basically made no sense..

Just checking in so the blog does not think I am dead.

All you spammers and automated bots! Keep on keepin on….I love your absurd comments, thats probably the best thing I have gotten out of this blog.

Peace!

What happens when you mix a guitar geek with a bunch of synth geeks? There will be more information soon, but this should make for an interesting project.

After dealing with personal issues over the last few months (you know, that thing called life?), it appears that the clouds have broken. During the next few months we will be taking a more aggressive and structured approach to prototyping a few of our initial products. This means pictures and sound samples – two things that have been most noteably lacking. While this is yet another pretty vague post, we want to make sure everyone knows that things have not been idle in our “labs”. Teasers and details will become available as we feel happy with progress.

Well, we finally have the site looking pretty nice after fighting with a few things over the weekend. In addition to the design, the main sections for what type of products and services we are going to offer are up. You can check those out by using the Products menu. Keep an eye out for updates to the these sections as this is where we will be adding details for the modules, bent instruments and an assortment of other items over the coming days and weeks.

Please bear with us over the next few days as we create and play around with a new site design. The current blog will remain an integral portion of AnalogueBus.com for news and other updates, but we are now expanding the site to reveal the many facets in store for the future of AnalogueBus.

GOODBYE SLEEP!

CRY!!!!!

Will try to explain this beast later right now we will just settle for a picture of it resting in the modular

Well I decided to grab another talking teacher off Ebay and bend it. This time I was aiming for a cleaner job and also to add a bunch of mods to it. That sounds like no big deal until you open the case to these suckers, there is ZERO room inside one. So I went about adding my standard 10 bends when I stumbled on a new one diagnosing a problem. The Talking Teacher (henceforth called TT) has an amazingly cool hold button, but it goes beyond the normal hold and allows “stutters” and random memory accesses. So I added a button on the right side so as you are hitting things you can add a glitch “hold”. Also to super expand it across the top back is going to be a single row of the female pin headers. It will have tiny Krynar wires running down it into a hole and the soldered to every pin in the system (that’s worth it) this combined with another female header on top which has 3 pots glued to it, 5 buttons, and a dipswitch/pot combo. It will allow you to module style connect up bends thus vastly expanding it. The dipswitch/pot combo is for a 10 step sequencer.

Current picture sans modularizing:

First pic adding more later

I know there has been an explosion of insaneness on the forums lately over Randal’s cases at SynthCase.com. Here are some quick pics of my case I got yesterday. I have not been able to properly put everything together, but just wanted to drop in a few modules and act silly and add two of my 128 Monomes at the bottom. The pics are really cheesy from my cellphone. Nothing is really tightly bolted together and the power supplies and distros are just sitting in the bottom of the case. Hopefully will have time tomorrow eve to finish it up.
