We have recently received several reports about fraud attemps in the ads section. The crooks usually proceed as follows : You write an ad in the MacMusic ads section to sell a software, a Mac or musical material. You then get an email from a potential buyer who is actually interested in your ad. But this person does not live in your own country and proposes to send you a $4,000 check through a third party. When you get it, you keep the sum that corresponds to the price of the item that you're selling (for example a $500 G4). You are then supposed to send the difference (that is 4,000 - 500 = $3,500) to another person in your country, to whom your buyer owes some money. Of course all this is utter fraud ! Indeed for a few days the check appears as creditor on your bank account but as soon as you check, the operation will be cancelled by your bank. In the meantime you will have sent the check that your bank will debit : your $3,500 and your G4 will be lost.

Synthrestore, a dedicated repair facility in the UK has announced the introduction in march of the Aurora synth. This analogue keyboard will add a real instrument to the line of specific spares the shop sell besides the repair business. Aurora is a 3 VCO (not identical, beside common specs, one has pulse, the others have square and sub), 1 LFO (can go way out into the audio range ;), ADSR, 12dB VCF (Oberheim/early Odyssey caracter) high pass or low pass. No MIDI in sight! (me I like CV/gate) and a 37 note keyboard.
The instrument is announced at 499£ (tbc) and will be built to order only, expect a 2 weeks wait after the deposit. Now it's not a plastic box with 2 ridiculous chips inside sold for as much as this one, the casing seem to be here to last and smells the matched transistors.
