Roland CR-78

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

via luke, the seller of this one:
"I'm biting the bullet and selling my Cr-78, will I regret it, hmmm? But I
must build the System 100 so it's for the greater good. It's the cleanest
one I've seen." Yeah it is. Amazing condition.

Dual Synthis

Via RMC on AH. The kicker is I'm under the impression that he was given these. Meaning for free? I have no idea, but wow. He'll be fixing them up over the coming months.

Update via other! in the comments: "Maybe if he leaves them on the bed and turns down the lights, and puts on some Floyd, they'll mate..."

Doesn't get much better than that folks. Good one other! ; )

Cliff Richard - We Don't Talk Anymore

Some "I feel the need to poke out my eyes goodness." Features the Moog Polymoog. You can thank one of the anonymous for this one in the comments of this post.

Memories of Miss Memory

It looks like our Moog heroine in the previous post is Sofie Loizou. She put up a couple of posts on her impression of the Moog Little Phatty on her blog. Title link takes you there.

"It looks and feels solid, great key action (no skimping on key size depth), it has pink and blue buttons (extremely important) and rotary LED knobs. The layout is simple and easy to use, and its controls are chosen to emphasise its role as a chunky sounding monophonic synth. And above all it sounds like a moog. My thirst for tangible analogue aesthetic has been quenched. Every girl should have one. ;)"

Update: Make sure to check out this post on CDM. Peter Kirn uncovers a bit more about Miss Memory. Pretty cool.

Update: here's Part 1 of the review.

Bent Circuits vs Modular test

"Circuit bent Grillo Parlante, Speak and Maths and Boss Dr Pad with it's circuits exposed and a wet finger, and a Doepfer/Analogue Solutions modular synth. The Grillo is used as the oscillator and the S&M is triggering the clock via an envelope follower which is then triggering the filters, envelope and sequencers on the modular. All sound is generated by the Grillo, S&M and Dr Pad, no other oscillators are used. Recorded at the Bathysphere studio"

A teeny tiny Minimoog action.

Korg Z3 Guitar Synthesizer

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
"you are looking at a used Korg Z3 Guitar synth system. this auction includes the rackmount interface, the pickup (with mount) and the necessary connecting lead....so there you have it - the somewhat obscure entry by Korg into the even more obscure guitar synth market. until i came across this device, i had no idea korg had even ventured into the guitar synth market - i assumed it was purely a roland pipe dream...(later entries by yamaha tried and failed). even so, this unit could be an ideal entry level unit if you fancied dipping your toes into guitar synth territories or even if you have an existing Z3 unit and would like a spare... "

You'll find more info on the Z3 here, where the following was pulled:
Features of the Korg Z3:
* Yamaha FM Synthesis
* Built-in Reverb
* Built-in Tuner
* Multi-timbral operation (allowing each string to play a different sound)
* Easy front-panel access to most frequently used functions
* Responds only to Master volume commands, ignores all guitar controller information, CV knobs, bender-arm, etc.
* Front panel guitar input connector will not accept first generation Roland locking cables!
* No Sound Patch Editing!
* Limited editing for Programs (basic string settings, etc)
* Use of the Z3 as MIDI sound module disables Guitar Synthesizer
* Synthesizer Off foot switch input
* Foot switch inputs for Patch Up and Down
* Dedicated Hold foot switch input (like Ibanez MC1)

Matrixmoog

Ok, time to move on from the Voyager Matrixsynth post! So it doens't get completely lost in the archives, I put up this smaller image on the right pane of this site. It links to the previous post. If you think this would be a great idea, feel free to post a comment in the previous post, not this one! I want to keep all the comments in that post as that is the one we will refer to if this actually looks like it could happen. Also, feel free to comment even if you can't afford one now but would consider it in the future, who knows, you might win the lotto. I obviously want one. : )
