10 years old
Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 5:53 am
I was amazed to discover that modularsynth.co.uk is 10 years old tomorrow!
During that time I've tried to document pretty much every new development that's happened for our beloved modular synth, and make a record of every new patch and module that's been created.
I've been working on a revamped picture archive for some time now, and although it's not quite finished, I thought I should make it public in order to celebrate this anniversary.
The pictures page has had more than 50 new images added (more still to come, but I couldn't quite get it done in time) and has also been split into 7 (fairly arbitrary) sections. Not just album covers any more, I'm trying to display all the pictures of modular synths that I can display in a musical context - so pictures of synths alone don't make it - I want to show the modulars with their creators, or the musicians that use them, or the albums they were pictured on. If you have any more to add, do let me know. Also let me know if you have any problems looking at the revamped page. Each thumbnail should open in a pop up window, and you can then scroll through all the pictures in one section within that window.
In order to become the de facto archive of the SonicCore modular, I have further plans for the year ahead. I'm moving to a new host to give myself a bit more space, and I'm going to try and upload all of the 'missing' patches and modules which have been uploaded over the years (to PlanetZ, Creamware and elsewhere) and which have since disappeared from the web. I might need your help trakcing some of these down. Finally, I plan to make a searchable patch archive, so that people can find all patches created by a certain person, all patches using Flexor, etc. That's going to be the biggest task, and I may need some help with that too.
Thanks to everyone in this wonderful, supportive community - it's a real pleasure to spend time with you! And thanks a million to all the patchers and developers who've continued to make this such an exciting platform.

F*cking disturbing! I hope there is no chocolate filling!
