I so much wanted to attend one of Robert's concerts in the Midwest.  But, he
was through here during the time I was motorcycling through the Southeast.

Here is a link to photos that Toby Paddock posted to the Synth-DIY list:

I assume this one is you:

Wow, and I see Stooge panels, Stooge end caps (some with Synth Tech logos)
and Stooge supplied Synth Tech cables.  Hey, you must be a valued regular
customer of Stooge Products, Inc.  :)

Did you get a chance to mess with the LP gate?  I have one coming and
wondered.

Is that a Korg DSS-1 I see?  Was it just being used for a controller?  It is
a fine analog synth engine in itself (except for the digital sample-playback
oscillators).

Yup.

Don't know what I'd do without you guys.  :-)

Unfortunately I didn't get to play around with it, although the guy that
brought it had a random patch running different waveforms from the Modcan
wavetable osc through the LPG.

Yes, someone brought a DSS-1 (forgot to mention that) and played it. He
actually wasn't a DIY guy and heard about the meeting because of Robert
Rich, but got into the spirit of things.

There was also a guy (from the Analog Heaven list, I think) who brought an
Evolver (new analog/digital hybrid from Dave Smith, of Sequential Circuits
and Prophet 5 fame).  You wouldn't think there was any room for analog stuff
in that little box, but it did all sorts of stuff.

I have one and it's really nice-sounding!  In a Schaeffer panel...
