Digital and analog - from cheap toys to $200,000 syhths. And a theremin.
There was a piece on Matrixsynth a couple of days ago about his favorite digital retro synth, the Con Brio ADS 200. This stunningly weird $30,000 monster was created in 1978 and only two were actually built. According to creator Tim Ryan, an earlier version -- the ADS 100 -- was used to generate sound effects for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
The enormous ADS 200 required five microprocessors to perform 64 oscillator "additive synthesis, phase modulation, frequency modulation, nested phase and frequency modulation, and combinations of all modes." Unfortunately, users required a PhD or airline pilot's license to figure out the multicolored control panel.

It's cute! Not just because it's tiny, but because it's a miniature version of a big theremin. Like it could be a theremin in a doll house.

Kristin H. is really funny. She always tells these weird little stories between songs when she does acoustic sets. She has a blog on her Web site, too - throwingmusic.com. She's a fantastic writer. What can't that woman do???
