Great modules, Cynthia, and thanks for the tremendous extra effort in providing the Tribute series for a variety of other synth formats!
My Cynthia modules also get a fairly regular workout on the Eurock Live! New Electronic Music podcast, distributed free on iTunes. Host and co-producer Archie Patterson provides a music lover's tour of some of the best new releases in world electronica, while I handle the overall production, ambient background, and intro/outro tunes. The trademark Eurock intro/outro is serious Zeroscillator drum-n-bass, and I feel lucky to be featured on the latest 'cast with stars of electronica like Redshift, Ian Boddy, and the 'pope' Klaus Schulze with Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance).
Like many of you out there, I spent any number of anxious weeks in the past, awaiting delivery of my Cynthia modules, and although I may have felt temporarily impatient and frustrated, I have always been richly rewarded for my time with great modules and tremendous sounds. Dealing over the years with a number of different custom analog synth manufacturers (small business-people all), I have become more familiar with the some of the daily challenges they face with component availability, manufacturing realities, and just getting modules assembled on-demand (with sometimes disappearing employees and components).
In this time of casually rude snarkiness on lists and Me-Gen "entitlements", I think we all need to remember that Cynthia is NOT some commercial juggernaut like Roland or Korg. Fine custom gear like Cynthia's does not come out of a faucet at the turn of a handle, and she sure isn't getting rich serving up her fine designs to (we must admit) the low-volume analog synth afficionado market. Building a modular is definitely NOT a time-deadline emergency, and if you really want one those, you should become one of my med students ;-)
Cynthia, thanks for the years of love and labor you have put into your modules! In the end, they are "priceless" (like that credit card ad tagline goes), and I wish your rewards outweighed the frustrations of manufacturing your fine designs for us.
Best wishes,
"Doktor Bob"
