"A synthesizer song dedicated to Robert Moog.

Like many keyboardists, I first fell in love with synthesizers having heard a Moog (the song "Amore Grande Amore Libero" by Italian keyboardist "Il Guardiano del Faro") as a child in the 1970s.

I made this song with a Synthesizers.com modular and a Kurzweil K2500X - it's a simple, gentle song dedicated to "the father of synthesis", based on a string pad, and a modular solo."

"Some shots of a Moog Sonic Six that I'm reviving. It was making weird sounds when I first got it, and I determined that it had a bad -15V regulator IC (LM723). After replacing that, it worked pretty well and then I set about improving it..."

MOOG POLYMOOG SYNTHESISER MODEL 203A

via this auction

"This is the model 203a version and NOT the 280. So this is called the synthesiser. It has keyboard written on it. The reason I believe to be the case is that Moog named this the Polymoog keyboard when it was built pre-1978. They then launched the model 280 post 1978 which became the keyboard. This version was then renamed the synthesiser.

To be absolutely fair, some people and purists prefer the newer keyboard model 280 version because of its abilities to replicate the famous Garry Newman sound but this model 203a selling here isn’t a million miles away from replicating the same sound, it just isn’t quite as easy to do so."

SUIKO ST-50

via this auction

"SUIKO-ST50 BASIC is extremely rare and most strange japanese electronic musical instruments it was originally made for japanese traditinal music circa. 1990. SUIKO-ST50 BASIC was a expensive and most full functional product of SUIKO series

SUIKO-ST50 BASIC was very expensive and made very limited quantities those days originaly made for the very small circle of the people who seriously studying japanese traditional music and never sold at ordinary musical instruments market so i'ts very hard to find even in Japan nowadays... this is your first and last chance to get this vintage bizarre gem!

it has 2 rows of button keyboard this keyboard specially designed for playing glissando easily like koto(japanese harp) front row of the keyboard is japanese scale,so just playing randomly you can easily get exotic japanese melody! it has internal stereo speakers and stereo output jack,phone jack,pedal jack,AC jack

there are various switchs for special japanese tuning, sustain, octave shift, vibrate, bend, mono/poly switch etc trill switch easily simulates unique trill playing on Koto(japanese harp) two bend lever are available,pitch and sound level most strange function is auto chord button(left below 4 button) hold one keyboard and touch this button it automaticaly generates special exotic japanese style chord it's not same as western theory but it from various japanese moods of poetic minds,really exotic! and it also has auto play/rec function,you can record and play your performance and play another instruments over your recording sound

4 sounds are selectable,KOTO(japanese harp),SHAKUHACH(japanese bamboo flute),SUIKO(original sound),and STRINGS mainly japanese traditional instruments

this is BASIC model of SUIKO ST-50,it has only 4 sounds expanded SUIKO ST-50 has more sounds but other functions are same (usually I'm selling "expanded SUIKO ST-50" for $799)

sounds are very realistic,warm and strange!,unique original japanese sounds

I recommends SUIKO-ST50 for the artist who tired of western electronic instruments and seeking for fresh and bizzare sounds and also recommends those who seriously studying japanese traditional music"
