Back online! Took a few weeks to sort out the server migration, but all should be good now - feel free to place orders again in the web shop!
|
| 2020-10-09 |
Fixed the broken links - many thanks to Charles A. Vallena at Guitar Junky for the feedback.
The web shop is still up and running and all items are available.
|
| 2016-02-03 |

The
new pricing for narrow-body CEM3396 chips is now in effect.
|
| 2010-01-07 |
Sourcing
narrow-body CEM3396's is getting increasingly difficult. Unfortunately this means
that I have to raise the price on these parts. Beginning Monday January 11, the
price will be the same as for the wide-body chips (€16 EUR or $24 USD per
chip).
|
| 2009-10-25 |
I
have been lucky enough to get my hands on a batch of wide-body CEM3396 chips that
are used in the Matrix 6 and 6R among other synths! These are now available for
order in the web shop!
|
| 2009-10-25 |
The
long-sought MS6 schematics are now finally available on the downloads page!
|
| 2008-08-14 |
Adjusted
the USD prices, according to the current exchange rates.
|
| 2006-11-19 |
Added
replacement RAM backup batteries to the offered web shop items.
|
| 2005-09-13 |
If you need more than a few CEM3396 chips, I now offer 6 pieces for the price
of 5!
|
| 2005-09-12 |
OK,
the new web shop is up. I now use PayPal for processing all payments (you can
still pay using credit/debit cards). Check it out!
|
| 2005-09-05 |
By popular request, payments through PayPal will be supported shortly directly
on the site. In the meantime, e-mail me
if you would like to place an order and pay using PayPal.
|
| 2005-01-24 |
Added
Vintage Planet to the links page, and put some more sales flyers on the downloads
page.
|
| 2004-08-04 |
I was mistakenly calling the MS6 a hybrid synthesizer on the specs page, now
corrected (thanks go to Abbe for pointing it out).
|
| 2004-05-20 |
Removed
the bulletin board from the menu, since I have been unable to get it to work.
Will add it back when it's ready..
|
| 2004-05-20 |
The
site is up again
, after another period of downtime. Should be a lot more stable
now, since it's running on a brand new server. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
|

due to serious hardware problems - sorry about that! The bulletin board is still
broken, will try to fix it ASAP.
|
| 2003-02-04 |
A
slightly updated version of MS6ed is "in the works". Will support the

Hello everybody! It's been a while, sorry about that!
|

I've
now come across a limited number of Curtis CEM3396 voice chips that I'm
offering for sale! More info can be found on the firmware upgrade page!
|
| 2002-02-21 |
Unfortunately, it seems like Synthesis Technology no longer sells
CEM3396 chips, so I've updated the info on the links page. I am currently looking
for other sources.
|
| 2002-02-20 |
Now
you'll find separate tone edit mixer maps for v1.2 and v1.3 on the downloads page.
|
| 2002-02-12 |
The new v1.3 is released! For more information, see the
firmware upgrade page!

As
a teaser for the upcoming v1.3 firmware, I've added a demo clip to the sound gallery
page.
|
| 2002-02-06 |
I've now also put in mono mode and done some further refinement
to the portamento implementation. As usual, see the development page.
|
| 2002-01-25 |
Portamento
done! Quite probably the last feature to be included in the upcoming v1.3.
|
| 2002-01-21 |

|
| 2002-01-20 |
Finished
implementing the "bottom-range" fix, see the development page.

page for details!

| 2002-01-14 |
Implemented
some new DCO shape settings, see the development page.

| 2002-01-10 |
Implemented
support for updating just the edit buffers via SysEx - check out the development
page.
|
| 2002-01-07 |

quite some progress on the patched firmware during the holidays, so expect a new
version to be available quite soon! Check out the development page for more information.

try to fix it soon.
