My Own Little Electrophonic World
This is a summary of the synthesizers I have at one time or another
worked on, from just using them to basic rebuilds to complete re-engineering projects.
Synths

| E-Mu ESI-32 |
|---|
|
Originally bought for my MSc research,
the plan being to generate the raw waveforms on my PC in software, then
download them over MIDI to the ESI and play them.
Maxed out RAM, latest OS, and a SCSI card. Its a sweet little sampler.

| Roland W-30 |
|---|
|
Lots of fun, and a great many sample libraries on the net. And it reads S-50
sample disks too, so even more standard Roland sample libraries to dip into.
The sound is very 90's -- 12-bit mono grunge, cutting through a mix. I can
see why Liam Howlett likes them :-)

| Jen SX1000 |

My favourite little monosynth. This photo is of "Jenny" before I got my
soldering iron on her and modded her up a bit. See my restoration page for
more details.

| Siel Opera 6 |
|---|
|
I acquired this true-blue analogue polysynth in a non-working state (much like the Jen ... bit of
a common theme there). So I've decided to give it the special treatment and re-engineer it and have
some fun. Hopefully it'll be interesting.

| MIDI Matrix II |

My home-built MIDI routing unit, and published in a British electronics
magazine. More details can be found on the hardware
projects page.
