Hey heres my bio stuff.

Steve Maietta
live in Northern NJ
I'm 21 going to school for Graphic design / Industrial design
(I want to build/design/dream up/test/eat/look-at/synths some day as my job 
(someone get me an interenship!))
I eat everything
I like to sleep
MOTM so far..   Powersupply/patchpanel.  410 filter and 100 SH coming in a 
week or so (paul?)
Other stuff :
Built- Gene Stopp's ASM synth, Paia vocoder,MAP analog delay, Blacet 
frequency divider, JKJ CV-4 MIDI/CV.  Some of Tom G's CAM circuts...
Bought- Casio SK-1 (brought it to life with massive circut bending)  Juno-6 
(my first analog)  Kawai K5000s (nice as hell)  Korg Prophecy (just got it, 
sounds nice, will make a nice controller with its cool modulation wheels and 
ribbon)  Boss DR660, FR-777 (in about 3 days now)..  Other assorted small 
funky gear..

I'm more of a tech guy than a musician, but like to make little tunes of 
course.  Modular stuff has always been in my dreams.  I am thinking of 
selling my K5000 to finance a few 300 vco's...  Hmmm..  any opinions on this?

Oh yeah..  I had a SIDStation.  Traded it for the prophecy.  It was a very 
cool little box.  I guess me erasing all the presets within the first hour of 
getting it kind of forced me to dig into the programming which is very easy 
and quick.  It does make some cool sounds, no doubt.  How it would crash 
every 5 minutes though just got to me..  It once crashed hard and locked up, 
erasing everything I did with it in the past 3 months.  All of my long 
developed patches  -  gone!  I sold her...

I like synth music from all generations.  Walter Sear copperplated integrated 
circut kind of Moog novelty stuff from the early era, to tangerine dream 
modular live sickness, to Keith emersons sick Moog/Yamaha/organ chops, to 
Tomita/Carlos multitracked modular stuff, to  chick corea, george duke, jan 
hammer soloing monophonicity, to some of the new dance dub breakbeats I dont 
know what its called groove chillout jazzy stuff
I love jazz and Reggae
Ween rules
