History of the Blue Modular Synthesizer

Somewhere around 2006 I had 3 10-space walnut cabinets built to consider as part of the Synthesizers.com product offering. Two 10-space cabinets would fit nicely on top of a 22-space walnut cabinet. But I decided not to do that and the 3 cabinets sat in my office empty for many years.

Around 2010 I decided to make use of the cabinets to build another custom colored synthesizer. I had to pull panels from production for each batch of modules and spray paint them before they got screen printed. This process took more than a year.

The modules are all standard but the configuration is my own selection. It has 4 VCOs, 3 EGs, 2 VCA, 1 VCF and most anything else a system needs. All of the LEDs are blue instead of red. The panels on the back are black.

The Blue syntheizer was finished in 2012 and adorned my office in Tyler for many years. It's now in my studio.
