"Christian Günther, who was in charge of electronics, and I have taken about 2 years to build the "Schaltzentrale" ('Central Switchboard') which now completes the "Heckeshorn" (Wolpert's first synth) with a sequencer as well as a few other goodies (a ring modulator, Voltage Control, and a pretty complex rhtyhm machine) and is able to control the whole thing. Sounds frigging amazing, this box! I came up with the initial idea and the casing. All parts, like the knobs and handles etc were handmade on a lathe. Same goes for the front plate, which was hand-engraved, -decorated and -etched. The back plate is adorned with a jellyfish that is coming out of an opium pipe.
I carved the encasing out of a very old pear tree burl and glued it together. The voltmeter and the bell are actually antiques (08.01.1901). There are some pics you can check out on my website."
