This is the first part in a series of videos featuring the UK modular institution Analogue Systems originally published in 2015. It was filmed by Evi Kruckenhauser during Andreas Schneider's and Holger Zapf's (now managing director of Doepfer) visit to Cornwall, where Analogue System's Bob Williams and Steve Gay reside and have built AS modules since the 1990s. After recently stumbling upon these videos again, we talked to Andreas and thought it would be nice to republish them and make them available on YouTube for the first time ever.

While Bob has since retired, Steve continues to craft modules with the same exceptional audio quality in South Cornwall. The video goes into the direct historical connection between Analogue Systems and EMS (of Synthi fame). Steve - who once worked for EMS and received exclusive license from EMS' Robin Wood to reproduce some of the VCS3 circuits - explains how this heritage has shaped the character of Analogue Systems and resulted in modules like the RS-510e Trapezoid Generator.

You can find out more about Analogue System's line of modules over at their website. There are also currently many of their modules in stock at SchneidersLaden.
