Roland SE-02 Synthesizer teardown.
The ESC2 which seems to show up in pretty much everything from Roland these days
Oberheim Matrix 6R teardown and repair. I knocked over a pile of paper with my camera tripod just before posting this. Mess.

darf use is perhaps like doing manuscript. or perhaps like pulling impressions of etchings.
very very manual, very lonely, many many steps, delicate, rewarding.
Battery powered amplifier using a LM386 IC. Speaker is recycled from a set of discarded computer speakers.
My Arduino Synthesizer. Inspired by an article on Make (hooray for make!). It has an interface built in Processing to control the frequency and waveform.
check out my blog post for more information, the source code, and some videos.
Oberheim Matrix 6R teardown and repair. Main processor board with processor, memory, MIDI jacks and my new battery holder (top right).
My girlfriend's sister created this synth cake for my birthday. Modeled loosely off the Yamaha DX7 (which I have but she didn't know that I had), and using marble cake batter, Kit Kats for the black keys, Jolly Ranchers, and some licorice decorations here and there. Visit her site for more cake stuff (she does awesome work): bake-thoven.squarespace.com/notes/2010/1/23/just-sit-at-h...
Oberheim Matrix 6R teardown and repair. The battery holder I used to replace the battery backup that was soldered on to the board. Even when plugged in, the Matrix didn't work until I replaced this. I even measured 3v off the one that was there, but it just wasn't working.
For years Synthesis Technology has made some of the finest large-format modular synth modules with their MOTM line. After a brief venture into the Frac Rack format ( www.analoguehaven.com/motm/ ) they now have plans to begin making Eurorack modules. We are very excited for their first one, the E340 Cloud Generator. We're looking at a price around $299 with a projected release date sometime in September. LINK: www.synthtech.com/ .
Oberheim Matrix 6R teardown and repair. Original voltage regulators. Even though they were putting out correct voltages as measured on a meter, they were faulty. Probably had some AC noise on the line.
