Mr Martin Clark was kind enough to ask me for a year-end roundup on his excellent Blackdown Soundboy blog, and was even kinder when he agreed to run the full thousand words or so that I wrote (proposed wordcount was 150). Check the permalink for full text, but don't miss the comments and lists that have preceded my entry, from the likes of Kode 9, Sarah Bentley, Skepta, and Woebot.

Last time I actually had my hands on a hardware synthesizer, Oberheim's Matrix line was in production and Keyboard magazine still ran full-page ads featuring people with Korg Poly-800s slung over their shoulders, thanks to the handy guitar strap. (And does anyone remember the Korg that had the black and white keys reversed? That's the one I really wanted, but my parents, being of a sensible nature, believed that only feathered hair and questionable lifestyle choices lay down that particular path.)

Whether you, too, have some catching up to do, or simply like to ogle unusual interfaces, Matrixsynth is droolingly full of boxes and wires.
