Bill, you have my thoughts as well. It is never easy. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

Great show Bill, I enjoyed it immensely. You did a lot more announcing of the songs both over the music and in-between songs. The additional information really peaked my interest, and your mention of events and listeners was pretty cool too. Dedicating your show to your mom was touching as well. Nicely done.

Thanks Les, I can always count on you for kind words. Thanks for noticing the change in the format of hte show. I think I will do a big more announcing from time to time. It hit me when Shane and I were doing the sound check when we tested my voice over the music and he commented that it came through just fine. I decided then I could just announce over some of the music.
It was good to have ScottG in the chat room. I hope we can get thim to submit music generated by his brilliant FPGA based FM synthesis system.
THis fall and winter will also see more LIVE performances by myself and local acts. I am also going to contact Kid Sputnik to do a laptop performance live forhte show.
Good things to come !!!
Bill |

Dave, I can always count on you being there !!! Thanks so much !!! For 2010, I plan more episodes featuring more "home brew" instruments. This will include hacked Atari Systems and other old vintage computers, circuit bent instruments, custom and hand built analog modulars, more of my own projects. I really think the show should stick more to it's original theme and thats to showcase music made with electronic instruments that folks build in their basements, bedrooms, and workshops
Thanks
Bill |

Hear that... That's direct orders to finish your pcb backlogs and make some new music with your hand made creations, the world awaits the sound of your smouldering. |

NICE !! I only wish more folks built my analog/digital keyboard design, the IKC (Integrated keyboard Controller). It's a product I feature in the "Microcontrollers and Prog. Logic" subforum but few really were interested. I was suprised that not many folks wanted to build a nice quality keyboard and controller for their modular.

Tuesdays show on January 19 at 6 PM EST will feature two demonstrations.
DEMO 1 (50 minutes)
The work of Scott Gravenhorst and his FPGA synthesizers. The segment will be 50 minutes of narratives by Scott himself and muscial examples. You don't want to miss this very innovative work.
Scott’s page on FPGA Synth.
http://www.fpga.synth.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.ScottGravenhorst
also check this work that Scott has been more well known for:
Synthaholic's FatMan Site
http://home1.gte.net/res0658s/fatman/
DEMO 2 (20 minutes)
The new sMs Audio Electronics Quad Bass++ drum synthesizer featuring four Thomas Henry Bass++ drum synthesizers on a single circuit card assembly. The demonstration will feature narratives by myself explaining the setup and the many sounds the module can produce.
Quad Bass++ Information and Documentation:
http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-39402.html
The project team members are:
Dan Lavin (PCB Layout)
Richard64 (Document proofreading and hacks)
Bill Manganaro (Prototype builder/Documentation/testing)
The Alison Project (55 minutes)
The last segment of the show features new music by "The Alison Project"
The record is entitled "Sequence to My Nightmare" and is part of the Torn Envelopes of live modular recordings between April through June of 2009.
Chris has been building his own analog modular synthesizers for many years and has now embarked on building yet another large modular that will be used for his touring work.
Please visit Chris and the Alison Project at:
http://www.thealisonproject.com/
Go directly to Ally, the new modular system the Alsion Project will be using.

The photos below are:
1) To the left is a Spartan 3E FPGA Development board that can be used to build FPGA synthesizers. On the right is a Coolrunner 2 CPLD development board.
Spartan 3E Starter Board Contains The following hardware plus lots more !!
>Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA (500K gates)
>Intended for use with ISE, Webpack, or EDK
>Xilinx USB circuit for programming
>32MB Micron DDR SDRAM, 16MB Numonyx StrataFlash, VGA, PS/2, RS- 232, 10/100 Ethernet
Where do I get these things to play with??
