On Thursday 21 September 2006 03:38, Sylvain Robitaille was like:
I will put the
EMS Synthi on the list, although I don't have a breadboard
patching and I was not aware they had patch cable controlled synths -
this is EMS, no?
Yes. From what I read (I have no direct experience with any EMS models),
the Synthi 100 was a massive unit that you quite literally built your
studio around (ie: install the synth _before_ the walls go up!) I don't
_think_ it was modular in the purest sense of that term, though I imagine
it likely had a patchbay.
I was thinking of the Synthi A or VCS3. Surely they would make more realistic
targets? Certainly that would be what I'd want to emulate.

I don't know whether Graham Hinton would be prepared to help with this. I may
get the chance to talk to him in the near future, so it would be useful to
have some intelligent questions to ask if the opportunity arises.
