AS3046 DIP
Alfa's AS3046 DIP format chip is a direct replacement of old LM3046/CA3046 chip. Vbe is matched to +-1mV (LM3046 only to +-5mV). Another Moog Prodigy-clone is alive and with AS3046s the VCOs track at least 8-octaves (as much as I can get from Arturia MicroFreaks CV-out).

Joystick MIDI-controller
Today you can buy cheap Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller copy from Velleman for just 15€. With two analog joysticks, Arduino with code, two resistors, wire, connectors and a Hofnar cigarette box you can build a simple MIDI-controller to control four parameters with two hands (MIDI CC).

From UPIC to IanniX
You can find here a free PDF-download of a book of UPIC and Iannis Xenakis. UPIC was a computer/software system that enabled sounds to be generated from graphic structures. First working version of UPIC was created in 1977. Today there is an open source software IanniX that is based on Iannis Xenakis works.

Arturia MicroFreak
Bought this little synth because it has a capacitive keyboard with CV, gate and pressure outputs. I consider it also cheap. It's actually very nice synth with 4-voice paraphonics, Mutable synthesis, modulation matrix, arpeggiator and sequencer. Here it's speaking with Speech-synthesis.

Voix Celeste
New solo-CD of MANU is coming out soon. It contains seven new compositions and one cover song. Voix Celeste (it's also an organ stop) is about silence and silent music. Silence is not just physical absence of sound. It's a state of mind that music creates in the mind of the listener. Silence can stand for a definite kind of presence rather than absence. Cover picture is edited from Robert Fludd's (1574-1637) Sun de metaphysico macrosmi (Wellcome Library, Creative Commons license).
