Dave Smith / Roger Linn Tempest Drum Synthesizer Performance with Joystick

video upload by Reuben Jones

"This is the complete performance that I recorded for Alex Ball's documentary on drum synthesizers ( • A Potted History of Drum Synthesizers [posted here] ). Cheers Alex!

I never truly unlocked the Tempest until I made this video. I always found the workflow tricky and the sound hard on my ears. I'm also not huge on drum machines due to their often-fixed time signatures, perfect timing, and the fact that real drums are so much better. But like with a lot of gear, putting in the time really does reap the rewards. The sound palate is very malleable and wide. If only it could import samples!

The joystick was a bit of an afterthought. I made it for my PolyEvolver, on which it can be routed to almost any parameter using the two expression/CV pedal inputs, and by assigning breath control and foot control each to one of the many destinations. Dave Smith is THE MAN, and he put two expression pedal inputs on the Tempest as well.

"This went from the crate to my humidity controlled basement. It's never been turned on, but I can turn it on and make a demo video for anyone seriously interested. I'd rather keep it in a brand-new (not-turned-on) state, though.

This is the double Colossus with the optional (additional) touch key plate and optional second oscilloscope.

The top of the slim cabinet's wood panel (the upper cabinet) has a scratch. My brother-in-law helped me move it to the basement, and his dog scratched the top panel while we were moving it.

I paid $68,000 USD (synth, additions, crates, and shipping from UK)."

Vintage 1974 Moog Minimoog Model D Analog Synthesizer SN 4019

"Up for auction/sale is a highly collectible, stunningly preserved 1974 Vintage Moog Minimoog Model D (Serial Number 4019). Manufactured during the coveted "Golden Era" at the Williamsville, NY factory, this iconic instrument is 100% vintage and features its highly desirable, rare original smooth factory wheels—proving it has skipped the typical late-70s retrofits and repair-shop modifications.

For the serious collector or professional musician, Serial #4019 represents the ultimate holy grail of analog synthesis, boasting the raw, heavy, authentic sound that defined 1970s music history.

Why Serial #4019 is Highly Collectible

Smooth Wheels: Features the original flat, smooth-edged cream wheels used briefly from 1974 to 1975 before Moog switched to ribbed wheels.

Revision 2 Oscillator Board: Contains the legendary early-70s oscillator design prized for its raw, organic, and beautifully thick analog drift (pre-dating the cleaner, highly stabilized later models).

Discrete Moog 4012 Filter: Equipped with the legendary hand-matched transistor ladder filter for that creamy, earth-shaking low end."

I was curious about the wheel history. According to AI: 1971 to Mid-1972: Early units used clear wheels.

Mid-1972 to Early 1973: Used "blocky" white wheels.

1973 to 1974: Smooth, solid white (or cream) wheels became the standard.

Late 1974 onward: Replaced by the more common grooved or ribbed "Oreo" wheels, which were also carried over to later [Minimoog Model D] reissues.

If anyone knows otherwise feel free to comment.

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"This one is personal. I got my hands on a 1974 Moog Minimoog Model D — one of the most iconic synthesizers ever built — and I couldn't wait to share it with you. In this video I do an informal walkthrough of its sounds, explore its capabilities, and close with a live performance using the Elektron Digitakt. No script, no plan, just me and a 50-year-old beast of a synth.
