CatSynth pic: Vermona DRM Rare Vintage Analog DDR Drum Machine

From a now expired auction, via matrixsynth:

“Vintage Analog drum machine with TR style sequencer, made in Germany in 1987. There’s not too much information available on the VERMONA DRM on the internet, so I will provide some of my own background knowledge. It was released in 1987 by a German synthesizer company named Vermona. These days they are best known for their
analog drum module the Vermona DRM-1 MK3. It is the European answer to ROLAND’s TR-X0X and CR-XXXX drum machines.”

CatSynth pic: Monsturo: modular set-up

From Analogue Haven on flickr, via matrixsynth:

“Beautiful photo of a nearly full Monorocket Lexington by Monsturo. Nice selection of modules from a variety of manufacturers. Lots of oscillators, multiple filters and several sequencers for control. The Harvestman Stilton Adaptor is used for integrating external effects. LINK: www.myspace.com/monsturo.”

I have tagged some of modules I recognize (e.g., from NAMM). Click on the tags for other pictures, info and articles.

I had a feeling that this looked…familiar. Well, turns out I was correct, we originally posted it back in 2007 under the title “EmmeSynth”. (That was nearly three years ago, wow!). From the original post:

“Buchla 227 progress photo. Front panel. I did get a little crazy making sure each nut was aligned symmetrically again.”

“That’s Aki, he’s on the Arp 2600. As for the modules, a little bit of everything- Metasonix, 4MS, Malekko/Wiard, Make Noise, The Harvestman, FoH, …. and even a little bit of Buchla in front of the 2600.”
