Sound Lab Analog Synthesizer MFOS Semi Modular
via these auctions. videos by laymamusic in the auctions captured here.
"This SoundLab is AC Powered and includes an AC adapter. Saves a bit of money and waste by not going through the batteries.
The SoundLab Synthesizer is a 100% analog 2 oscillator synth with mixer, filter (low pass/bandpass),LFO, AR Generator, VCA and volume/power knob. Also has audio input for processing external audio. SoundLab can be used alone or by the CV (1 volt per octave) and Gate inputs.
Measures 10x6x4 (in the videos my hands are close to the cam so it makes the SoundLab appear smaller than it really is)
Metal film resistors and high quality components used through out. Large Alpha 24mm pots for a nice smooth turning action. Circuit Board is mounted to case via aluminum stand-offs."

Catgirl Synth CGS37 CV Cluster
via this auction
"Assembled by Free State Custom Electronics
Here is a breif description of how this module works from Ken Stone's incredible Catgirl Synth Website:
"The CV cluster is an unusual kind of mixer. It takes two input voltages - a base control voltage, and a modulating control voltage, and creates the sum and differences of them. These different voltages are the base voltage offset in a positive direction by the modulating voltage and the base voltage offset in a negative direction by the modulating voltage. A series of equal taps between these two points results in outputs that always maintain the base control voltage at its full amplitude, mixed with a differing amount of the modulating voltage. The center output has equal amounts of positive and negative modulation canceling each other out, and thus behaves as a
straight-through connection for the base input.
Some ideas on how to use this module:
Feed your 1/v octave input into the base input, and an envelope generator, LFO, sequencer etc. into the modulation input. Connect the outputs, starting with the center unmodulated output, and working both up and down, to a series of VCOs. While the modulation input remains at zero, all of the VCOs will track. As the modulation voltage increases, the VCOs connected to modulated outputs will shift in frequency away from the base, at an amount proportional to its position from the center output. For example, a small modulation voltage will de-tune the oscillators slightly, fattening the sound. A modulation CV of 5 volts will set each output 1 volt apart, setting the oscillators an octave apart.
An envelope generator connected to the modulation input creates in interesting effect.
It of course can be used with audio frequency signals too, and may prove interesting when driving a cluster of wave multipliers or similar. Two audio signals fed to it could produce interesting stereo effects.
Note: The sum and differences produced by this module are voltage differences, NOT frequency differences. It is NOT a ring modulator."

New Slim Phatty Pics and Specs
Two shots spotted by Jose Franco on hispasonic.com. Click the images for the super size shots. Note there is nothing on the Moog site at the time of this post.
Googlish translation from Spanish:
"Moog Music officially announced yesterday that as we advanced, the new Slim Phatty, "the more portable analog synthesizer Moog and affordable throughout its history."
Phatty Slim (slim chubby ") is based on the architecture of the Little Phatty (two oscillators, filters, LFO / envelope / arpeggiator). Module can be used as desktop or rack mounted (you can buy optional rack ears or wood side panels).
It will cost 683 euros including VAT and will be available in November. Read on to know the new Slim Phatty further.
Features Slim Phatty
* Two oscillators
* Internal universal power supply
* External audio input
* USB MIDI
* Arpeggiator
* Bank of new sounds on the Little Phatty
* Moog Ladder Filter 24 dB / octave VCA control and output overload
* Section envelope generator with two ADSR generators
* Section 4 LFO modulation waveforms and bus 1x2 with 8 possible modulation sources and 4 destinations
* Master volume control, output switch on / off and headphone output
In the back of Slim Phatty are:
* Power connector (100-250VAC, 50-60 Hz)
* Switch on / off
* External audio input (accepts signals from line level +4 dBu)
* Tickets Pitch CV (1 V / Oct) Filter CV and Gate Keyboard
* MIDI in and MIDI out
* USB connector
Phatty Slim is 17 "wide (43.18 cm) and weighs only 2.6 kg, according to Moog Music," is the smallest and lightest tool we make. It is designed for the traveling musician, and fits easily in your luggage or backpack. "Rack mounted occupies 3 spaces.
You can play from the front panel with any MIDI controller, or can be used as an expander with a Little Phatty, Minimoog Voyager or any other synth.
The price recommended by the distributor in Spain is € 683 including VAT. Will be available from early November."

"Electric Light" - on Elka X-1000
YouTube via organfairy | October 13, 2010
"Again I have played a quite modern song on the Elka organ. This time the victim is 'Electric Light' by Danish band Infernal.
I have recorded it as a mixture of sequencer tracks on the organ and multitrack recording on the PC. And to make the video slightly more colourfull I found my little rotating light.....thing (can anybody tell me what that gadget is called?)."
Galapagoose Live on The City Rises
Galapagoose Live on The City Rises, RRR, 02-10-10, Pt 1. from rambl on Vimeo.
"When Melbourne's Galapagoose (galapagoose.tumblr.com/) came into the RRR studios in Melbourne two weeks ago he set The City Rises alight with his 40 minute, 100% live set of deftly played head nodders and foot stompers. We've had calls, emails, likes, reposts and several hundred listens since he was on, and that was just for the music!
Now we have the videos to prove just how live it really was. I chose a few choice moments but if you want to hear the entire, epic 40 minutes go to: thecityrises.com/2010/10/the-city-rises-044-w-galapagoose/
And keep an eye out for Galapagoose in your area code...
ps. If you are interested in the machine that Galapagoose is using check out monome.org/ and be prepared for some seriously masterful geekery!"

Squarewave Parade Ming Ming Stereo Analog Ring Mod
via this auction
"Free State Custom Electronics
the Squarewave Parade Ming Ming - Used
Only 10 Made!!!
Here is a description from the Squarewave Parade website:
'yet another silly name. this is a stereo ( dual mono ) analog passive ring ( or "balanced" ) modulator that is also capable of producing an octave up if only one input is used (achieved via internal switching - there are no other controls). unlike most ring modulators you will find this one does not come with a built in oscillator. this is done on purpose to give you the chance to use your own modulator and as a result it gives you a much wider range of possibilities. everything from AM radio static to tempo matched drum loops can be used to modulate your source. use of line level instruments like synths, mixers, and sound cards would be ideal. being a passive design ( meaning it does not require any power source to operate ) you will need to increase the level of quieter signals, such as guitar, to get the ring to work. you can do this by adding a pre-amp, booster, distortion pedal, channel of a mixer, etc... before that input. you may also want to boost the output depending on your intentions. its made with hand matched germanium diodes for minimal signal bleed which i also matched between each of the two units inside. the transformers on the input and output will also yield a nice thick organic distortion when over-driven.'"
