Here are some photos of circuits built by myself and friends of "Music From Outer Space" of our synthesizers. If you build one of the circuits shown on "Music From Outer Space" and you would like a picture of it on the web to show your friends send me a .jpg or .gif and I'll post it here.

An action shot of one of Jason Proctor's two dual vca modules, coexisting relatively peacefully inside his MOTM/Oakley/Tellun/Blacet/etc modular. the panel is from front panel express, in their dark green with the smaller text tool size. The quality is pretty good. Cables are stooge's finest :-). Charles Osthelder's Excellent Retro Look Sequencer. Jon Stoski of Vancouver built this cool unit for Mike (Photo 1).

It doesn't look much, doesn't keep in tune for long, but was a neat project to do. I don't support the WP20 anymore but people keep building them. I wish I could make my projects look this cool. Alan McKerchar does it again this time adding joystick control to the Sound Lab. This has got to sound cool (side view). Alan McKerchar's latest (front view).

Lorenzo also did a great job building a WP-20. Lorenzo's cool battery door idea using a magnet closer. Lorenzo's portable system shown with his custom designed light controlled theremin emulator. Chris Challoner did a really nice job building the WP-20. This was the first synth project I published 20 years ago. It is built around the LM3900 a remarkably long-lived chip.

Click this link to go to his website: Doug Frome's Site Here is a rare photo of Doug's twins. Doug has built a multitude of sequencers and oscillators. I can't wait to hear something from this beast. Another photo of one of the Doug's twins. Karl Lauderbaugh also teamed the Sound Lab with a sequencer (the 8 channel version)! It looks very cold where Karl lives if you ask me. Hans Munz teamed the Sound Lab up with a sequencer! Hans used blue LEDs and says that in addition to sounding cool the system looks cool while its sequencing. Another view of Hans Munz excellent instrument. Andy Wilson's Sound Lab (his modular's little brotha) Click this link to see more photos of Andy's Sound Lab project.
