Running through some of the multitude of excellent sound patches a 1982 Octave-Plateau Voyetra 8 awakens during major repairs at Hideaway Studio.  This relatively rare 16 VCO 8 Voice analog polysynth was the first rackmounted polyphonic synth and is absolutely crammed full of electronics!!

D.A.Wilson is an Electronic Engineer, Sound Designer & Vintage Synth Specialist with a particular interest in combining vintage tube, classic analog and modern digital technologies working as a synth engineer looking after a very considerable amount of vintage studio equipment for Will Gregory (Goldfrapp / Moog Ensemble) and a number of other internationally celebrated electronic musicians and producers.  Having undertaken several major restorations and produced custom electronic designs for a number of major artists including Jean-Michel Jarre, Dani is also known for fully restoring two out of the world's four remaining 1979 Crumar GDS and partially restoring 1938 Novachord 346 (the only known operational Novachord in the UK) to playable order along with developing and producing the new Elfin family of 8-bit polysynths and the popular MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and XD-280 Drive Emulator upgrades for the AKAI S612 sampler.

DJing—Exploring Sound / Music beyond genre.

I’m a musician. I’ve played Classical Guitar since I was 7 years old. I have two main music projects; my solo project called Inform3r as well as one with Katya Casio, Hong Kong Counterfeit. I love pre-1983 synthesizers and drum machines. I’m an avid DIY’er who enjoys making synths, effects units, guitar amplifiers, and sundry.
