Vermona ReTubeVerb
via Noisebug on Ebay
Note this is the new design and different from the one in this video. Big City Music currently has the older model listed here.
On the new model:
"Although spring reverbs have been built for more then five decades they are still highly desired because of their individualism and sound quality. They can almost be seen as standard for guitar amplifiers and can be found in a great number of studios around the world, as they are also a perfect choice for vocals, organs and synthesizers.
Once again VERMONA presents a tube spring reverb of it’s own class and once again the name is “ReTubeVerb”. Some details have been improved and there are also strongly requested features like balanced in- and outputs as well as the possibility to get it in a rack system. Uncompromising tube technology
The ReTubeVerb is build upon classical tube circuitry – you will not find a single semi-conductor in its signal flow. This uncompromising realization needs some efforts but the result justifies the concept! What you’ll get is the warm and slightly compressed tube sound without interferences and unpleasant coloration.
Spring tank
The deep and voluminously reverb effect comes out of a high quality six-spring reverb tank (three double-springs) made by the spring reverb pioneer ACCUTRONICS. Equalizer
We’ve chosen three very usable frequencies which makes it easy to form the reverb effect as you like without much efforts.
Balanced In- and Output
Beside the unbalanced instrumental- / line in- and outputs we’ve implemented a transformer-balanced input and output as well. It’s not that kind of feature that’s integrated just to have it, but with great attention towards sound quality. The audio transformers are made upon our specifications to perfectly fit for their purpose.
True Bypass
There’s a true bypass as well as the EFFECT STOP function. The latter allows refining the input signal by the tube preamp without reverberation.
The ReTubeVerb relies on traditional technology but also makes spring reverberation a cutting edge topic.

Moog Polymoog 203a vintage analog synthesizer
via this auction
"This is one of the last 100 made and has all of the factory enhancements and modifications that were made through the production run. It has also had all new divider chips (and sockets added) along with having most all the CMOS chips replaced along with most all the opamps. Replaced about 3/4's of the transistors too. The dividers and CMOS chips were a major source of failure in the originals so I wanted to replace them all to make it much more reliable. All the LEDs have been replaced with ones that take less current (but look the same) so strain is taken off the power supply. The Ua726 reference oscillators have been replaced with brand new ones. Needless to say, a lot of work has been put into this polymoog and it is about 99% functional. Only issue is that the VCF filter attack and decay are not working correctly and one key needs a bushing (currently taped to make it level, as you can see in the picture. the key DOES work). It works, it just doesn't sit right and level with the other keys. I will also throw in some spare parts including chips and polycom cards."

Lazertran on aluminum panels
Update: this pic is actually from Luka who also uses it. I'm not seeing Dr. Sketch-n-Etch's pic referenced on Muff's. If anyone knows where to find it, let me know.
via Dr. Sketch-n-Etch on Muff's
"Here's a picture of a panel I made lastnight. This is a 1U x 5U panel made of 0.1" 6061 Al sheet. I printed the label from Front Panel Designer onto Lazertran backwards using an HP 2100M Laserjet printer (the ol' beige cube) running the "Universal Printer" driver from HP (a free download) which allows one to print mirror images. First I printed it on a piece of plain paper. Then I cut a piece of Lazertran to size, leaving about 1/8" extra over each border. I taped this piece onto the sheet of paper over the original image and ran it back through the printer. After I printed the Lazertran, I hit it with a heat gun for a few seconds to fuse the toner, although I doubt this was really necessary. Then I soaked the Lazertran in water to loosen the decal.
I peeled the protective sticker off of a precut aluminum blank (I get these cut to order from the Metal Supermarket) and applied the decal directly to the Al surface, printed side down (and gum side up), with no pretreatments. Once I got it lined up, I squeegeed it smooth with a soft silicone kitchen spatula to remove any air bubbles and water droplets from underneath. Then I ran the panel under cold water and rubbed it with my fingertips to remove the gumming. Finally, I put it on a cookie sheet and popped it in the oven at 170F. After one hour at that temperature, I started increasing the temperature of the oven, by 25F every 20 minutes, until I got to 400F. Hence, the whole procedure took about 3 hours, but for most of that time I was doing something else. After 20 minutes at 400F, I turned off the oven and let the panel cool. The whole procedure was dead easy to do. This morning, I drilled the holes, and there were no issues there either.
After baking, the Lazertran film becomes a hard plastic coating on the aluminum. The excess film at the edges wraps around the sides of the panel, which is pretty cool. The surface is very tough -- you'd have to cut it with a razor blade or something to damage the printing underneath. After futzing around with DecalPro dry transfer decals (which are hit and miss in transfer quality, a pain in the ass to make, and not durable at all without varnish), this is like a godsend. For the first time since I started synth DIY, I'm actually looking forward to making panels! If you, like me, have been hesitant to try this technique, then let me reassure you that it is painless and the results are fantastic.
A few words about the panel itself: Obviously, my panel style is somewhat minimalist. It was inspired by Thomas White, who graciously shared all of his FPD files with me about a year ago. This panel is for a preamp/envelope follower which is essentially a clone of the Doepfer A119. The corner mounting holes are 5/32", the pot and LED holes are 5/16", and the jack holes are 3/8". There are no toggle switch holes here, but if there were, they would be 1/4". If you look closely, you can see that a couple of the holes are a tiny bit off centre. This is because I was a little off with my centre punch.
Tonight I'm going to try labelling a couple of bigger panels which I've already drilled (one is 3U and one is 4U), and which currently have paper labels stuck on. I'm going to cut little crosses in each hole after I print the Lazertran, in the hopes that the flaps of film will coat the inner surface of each hole. I'll let y'all know how it turns out tomorrow. I'll also post a picture of this module when I've got it all finished. Stay tuned!"

Discovering Electronic Music Part 1 - 3
Discovering Electronic Music (1969-1983) video upload by Fran Blanche
Update: cleaned up version in one video above uploaded in 2021. You'll find the original 3 posted back in 2009 further below.
"This film by Bernard Wilets was originally produced around 1969-70, but this reel that I present is the updated version from 1983 which includes new added Fairlight sequences with Rory Kaplan. The original sections are VERY 1969 and the color of this print is still remarkable. Great footage of Moog modular synths right in their heyday and lots of screenshots of waveforms and such. Is it coincidental that so much Bach is being played on the Moog? Calling Wendy Carlos! The film features several people who went on to make their names in electronic music, including Rory Kaplan, Douglas Leedy, and Jean-Claude Risset. This reel was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki has a 5 Blade Shutter that projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track. Enjoy!

Stock Aitken Waterman Sound, The Jason Donovan HITS, How did they do it!
YouTube via karelpostthuis | August 26, 2010
"As a sound engineer i'm always curious how records, and "sound-logo's" are built.
Anyone can make synth POP, but a HIT sound is made by specialists who know their stuff.
In a free afternoon i got into my studio to find out.. HOW the SAW / PWL sound of the late '80-s was made...
I used stuff they also had, like the Jupiter 8, the D50, a bunch of Juno's and the best Drum Machines ever, the Linndrum, DMX, TR808 and so on...
The basis is a kicksound like a Linn, but longer, to get the dancefloor "banging" sound and the sound of a couple of DX bass sounds stacked to sound powerful and with lots of punch.
I skipped the Emulator 2 strings, but i'm sure that's what they used in the earlier work next to the Fairlight.
I'm a fan of quality men like the whole team of SAW, Pete, Mike Matt are the forefront but the tape-op's and Tim Harding, Ian Curnow and all the guys that programmed the sounds and worked the desk are equally great."

The Clavitar, The Moog Liberation, and the first Keytars
via this auction
Anyone know when the Clavitar was released? Here's a pic of George Duke in 1980 with one.
BTW, on the last page of the current September issue of Keyboard magazine (with Devo on the cover) is a one page feature on "Keytars Past and Pressent." I was under the impression that George Mattson's Performance Music Systems Syntar (1980) was the first keytar, before the Moog Liberation (1981). It looks like Roger Powell's Probe may have preceded it in 1977. Anyone know if it was just a controller or if it had a built in synth like the Syntar? Jan Hammer apparently also had a newer Probe, which you can see in this video and this video. Before everything was the Orphica from 1795.
Roger Powell image via audioholics
Orphica image via realsamples where you'll find a sample set of it. This might be a newer model though. The image or the Orphica in Keyboard looks much older and more like a mini harpsichord with neck attached.
Update via plaztec in the comments: "The Probe, as invented by Powell (& Jeremy Hill) and refined by Jan Hammer in the area of the pitch & mod wheels (note the left-hand sides of their respective keyboards are quite different, Hammer preferring the Minimoog-style wheels), was a controller and not a self-contained synthesizer. Both had custom rigs; Powell had a bank of Oberheim SEMs, IIRC - and Hammer the same, blending the SEM sound with the Minimoog in order to get his signature lead tone. Jan also experimented with a cruder, squarish remote in order to get the placement and angle of the wheels exactly right for him, prior to the building of his custom Probe. IMHO, those two guys in their heyday were, and remain, the single most credible-looking and compelling rock keyboardists to use remote keyboards on stage, especially considering the musicians they shared the stage with..."
Update via Jimmersound in the comments: "There's also info on the Probe in this Synapse issue."

Moog Micromoog Analog Synthesizer (1975)
YouTube via retrosound72 | August 25, 2010
"vintage synth demo by RetroSound
Moog Micromoog Analog Synthesizer from the year 1975
demo of different VCO, VCF, envelope and LFO settings
The Micromoog is a great monophonic analog synth but very underrated.
The sound is nearly to the Minimoog when 1 VCO used. The waveforms are more clean but the filter is similar to the Mini. The Micromoog is perfect for very deep bass, lead and fx sounds."
Electronica beat with Reason 4 by DJ Galactic
YouTube via djgalactic | August 25, 2010
"This is a song I made with Propellerhead Reason 4 software (Electronica / Down Tempo): I used the original song produced on my last album (Electro Effect), and to create a special version of the song, with the sound of Reason's synthesizer(Thor, Red Drum, Malström, Dr. REX...) Don't hesitate to send comments, rates or questions...http://www.djgalactic.com"
Inside a MULTI KLONE DRUM BRAIN
via this auction
"THE MULTI KLONE DRUM BRAIN FEATURES 5 CHANNELS. EACH CHANNEL INCLUDES TRIGGER IN/AUDIO OUT, DECAY, SWEEP, TUNE,LEVEL,NOISE, BEND, Q/TONE, ATTACK, AND REPEAT, (REPEAT FUNCTIONS SIMILAR TO AN ECHO BUT WILL ONLY ECHO 1 TIME. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TRIGGERING THE ORIGINAL NOTE TO THE REPEAT NOTE IS ADJUSTABLE TO APROX. 1/2 OF A SECOND), AND A MANUAL FINGER PLASTIC TRIGGER BUTTON WHICH IS SIMILAR IN CONCEPT TO A DRUM PAD. THE MAIN OUTPUT FEATURES A SECOND NOISE GENERATOR FOR THAT EXTRA "CRUNCH" AND A MASTER LEVEL. EACH DRUM SYNTH CHANNEL IS EXACTLY AS THE NEXT WHICH ALLOWS THE USER TO CREATE TOMS, SNARE, KICK, BOOM, AND HAT ON ANY CHANNEL. THE SOUNDS ON THE UNIT ARE FANTASTICALLY AWESOME RANGING FROM DEEEEEEEEEEP BASS, CRUNCHY SNARES, PINGING HATS, BLIPS, BLURPS, AND CHURPS. THINK OF MINISTRY, PORTISHEAD, OR NIN SOUNDS AND YOU HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL SOUNDS OF THE MULTI KLONE."

GR GenRad Digital Tracking Synthesizer DTS 2515-3015
via this auction
Anyone have any more info on this one? GenRad or General Radio made test equipment. According to Wikipedia they started in 1915.
"Among General Radio's accomplishments over the years have been:
* The introduction of one of the world's first portable oscilloscopes
* The production of many high-precision standards for resistance and capacitance
* The commercial production of the stroboscope as the Strobotac
* The commercial production of the sound level meter
* Commercial invention of the binding post.
* Invention of the GR connector
* The Variac variable autotransformer"
According to the General Radio Historical Society, they made the first commercial oscilloscope:
"In 1931 there were several ways of observing electrical waveforms. One was to apply different signals to the deflection plates of a cathode-ray tube. Such tubes were available at the time and used by many experimenters. General Radio provided the first commercial version of such a device in 1931 with tubes, first from Germany, and later from Westinghouse, U.S. The instrument was in two pieces with the tube mounted on a stand and the power supply in a separate cabinet."
