aural synthesis

last night on ebay: ...mmm...ARP Avatar...it is now mine...for those who don't know anything about it, including myself of a little over 24 hrs ago, it's a lot like the ARP Odyssey although it's main difference is in how it is played...it was intended to be played w/ a guitar...you connect it w/ a special pickup and the guitar triggers the synth...although it can also be used w/ old synths w/ CV (i.e. my Moog Liberation)...the person i bought it from is including a guitar w/ it too...some generic Fender, though still quite cool...this is what it looks like (the Avatar):

phat...also, tonight, i bought David's Korg Lambda string synth from him...and it is now sitting directly behind me, officially and all...

also, my models of comp teacher still hasn't cleared up the non-attendence issue as i went by the admin office today to check up on it...bastard...this might mean i'll haveta talk to him personally...bah...oh well, i think i might have to do that for another issue regarding my project anyway...bah...
