Buy me a toy.



I bought an $1.00 copy of The Whole Synthesizer Catalogue from the editors of Keyboard Magazine. It's from '85, and filled with awesome original reviews of bad ass synths from a 75-85. It brought up a long elusive keyboard I should have bought ten years ago, the Oxford Synthesiser Company's "OSCar". It's a DCO based mono-synth
from 1985, and pretty fucking cool. This is another "I'm stupid" item that I should have bought in 1999 for $200, because one sold (albeit very well serviced and MIDI retro-fitted) for over £800 in the UK. Ouch, that's a lotta scratch. There are several software based clones of it, but that's boring. I love this book ever-so-much and will probably be posting more from it this month. Some scans maybe? Yeah.
