Business News
After much careful thought I have decided to close down the repair and modification services of Oakley Sound Systems. Instead I will focus my efforts on new modules for our modular systems and other bespoke design services.
I would like to thank all my repair service customers over the years for their custom and support. I am very grateful for the chance to work on so many wonderful instruments.
After three successful years in partnership with Oakley Sound, in April Julie and Ceri Davies moved onto other things. Paul Darlow has taken up the torch and will provide the same high quality of service that our customers have been used to. This move will allow Paul to integrate his Krisp1 ready made modules into the retail side of Oakley Sound. In time, both Paul and I will work on a fully integrated website that brings our two businesses ever closer. I am looking forward to working with Paul and developing a new more modern and streamlined purchasing experience. I am also allowing myself more time to design new modules in our existing 5U format and develop a whole new range of affordable 3U modules for the Euro and Frac rack systems.
Module News
We have a new VCA module for 3U high systems. Available for both Euro and Frack modulars, our Classic VCA is a clean sounding module with a discrete core.
Our new Ring Modulator module arrived in February. This is a modernised version of an old classic and I think it sounds just great. This is our first module that has been designed with the smaller Frac-rack format in mind. However, it still looks good in a 5U panel too.
One of more popular modules from a few years ago was reinstated in January. The Oakley midiDAC midi-CV convertor is back by popular demand. Designed to fit into a 2U wide 5U MOTM/Oakley style faceplate it makes an excellent midi interface for your modular.
The COTA filter module was released late last year. This great sounding 24dB/octave low pass filter, also features -12dB/octave low pass and band pass outputs. Its based on the classic cascaded filter designs that were made popular in late 1970s and early 1980s.
Don't forget to visit my music page and listen to what sort of music I create with my synthesisers. My latest album Landlines has been released by Music Zeit. Go here for more details.
