On the Precise Model 635:
"A.F. Sine, Square, and Pulse. SN# 2656. Vintage unit powers up but is otherwise untested; sold as-is but everything appears functional and this unit has been thoroughly cleaned."

Not synthss, but rather a cool piece of test equipment. You can see the seller's other items for more. Would make for interesting DIY cases. Thomas Dolby has been known to use similar devices [see this post].

MINIMOOG MINI-DOCUMENTARY 1970s & New Moog Legacy Site

A Brief History of the Minimoog, 1970s

YouTube Uploaded by MoogMusicInc on Apr 28, 2011

Secret to the Minimoog sound comes in after 6:10.

I'm guessing this and the new site is the huge new project from Moog.
"Follow the life of the Minimoog Synthesizer from its inception through its prolific contributions to poplular music throughout the last 4 decades.

In this first installment documenting the journey of the Minimoog synth through the 1970's, we explore the musicians and the people that were instrumental in bringing the instrument to prominence. We also sit with one of Moog Music's earliest engineers, Bill Hemsath, who recalls the process of the Minimoog's birth and sheds some light on what sets the Moog synthesizer apart from other analog synths."

Check out the new Moog Legacy Site here. The whole site appears to have gotten a facelift.

Messing with the Modcan Super Delay


flickr By parasitk

Modcan SuperDelay first ten minutes by parasitk
'I just received a Modcan SuperDelay in the mail today as part of a trade. Ten minutes after I installed it I recorded this. Just getting a feel for all the sonic options. Modulating the regeneration (feedback), delay time, trying the tracking filter on vs. off.

Starts off fully dry, then I shift the balance to fully wet. The wet/dry mix alternates variably from there.

View the pic for the basic patch.

Sound source is Modcan Dual VDO. The Modcan VCDO and Cyndustries Zeroscillator are being used as LFOs. Blacet Binary Zone provides the sequence, and Metalbox Dual AD some envelopin'."

Analogue Solutions Vostok Demo (Kind of...)


YouTube Uploaded by FatSynthDude on May 4, 2011

"The studio's in like a hundred million pieces, so I thought I'd finally sit down and do that Vostok demo I'd been meaning to do, but with a little bit of a twist. Instead of just recording dry Vostok and/or multitracking, I sampled a bunch of percussive noises into a Korg ESX-1 and an ES-1. The pad sound was made by sampling into an ESI-2000 and then sending the output through the ES-1, the bass and lead synths were sampled into the ESX-1's keyboard parts, and then a live Vostok track was sent through the ESX-1 for gating. All sounds did originate from the Vostok. For most sounds, only delay and reverb effects were added. There is some chorusing on the pad and the kick and snare sounds were sent through a DECIMATOR!!!!!!! (CRUSH, DECIMATE, DESTROY!!!) I really enjoyed making this and hopefully will get to do something like this again soon. :-D"

4th of may


YouTube Uploaded by skoulaman on May 4, 2011

"This weekend I found a nice TD-alike sequence. The Doepfer Dark Time sequence runs trough the Waldorf Micro Q (on 2 note polyphony) and than through the Moog Little Phatty. The interesting thing is that I use the 2x8 option of the DDT, so 1 row is for one note of the moog ( 2 osc.) and the Waldorf (3 osc.setup) and the other row is for the second note of the Waldorf (also 3 osc. setup). I had again a lot of recording problems (both audio and video) so this is not the best track. May be I must put some money in other things then synths and sequencers. The Moog is echoed with the Yamaha E1005 and the Waldorf with the Ibanez DM1000.

Simmons Digital Clap Trap Demonstration


YouTube Uploaded by 76420236 on May 1, 2011

"This video is a demonstration of the Simmons Digital Clap Trap. Watch, listen and be amazed as the Clap Trap adds hand clap and noise in sync with the audio input. The audio source used as the clap trigger is a music cue from a '60s TV show set in Hawaii and, later in the clip, from a movie that may have been about a cat from outer space. Source audio was sampled and looped with a Boss SP-202 (Dr. Sample). Both sounds are then run through the BOSS SE-50 stereo effects processor which is used first only as a dry mixer with a phase effect setting used at the end."

Audio Oscillators with the LZX Visionary


YouTube Uploaded by lzxindustries on May 4, 2011

"This (long) tutorial shows how you can use some audio eurorack oscillators to create and modify video signals for use with an LZX Visionary system. Modules used include the WMD Gamma Wave Source, Wiard Oscillator, MakeNoise QMMG, and the Toppobrillo TWF.
Sorry about the poor production and editing!

Two notes: Some of the short video clips in the beginning used an LZX TVFKG and video mixer as well as the modules in this demo.
The output of the Wiard Oscillator always appears as a pulse wave because the input to the VBM was clipping. It is actually possible to get the full variety of waveforms when using the Voltage Interface I, or by more carefully setting the VBM controls.

Tutorial created by Johnny Woods, May 2011."

"Pardon the 15 minute length, but here's an introduction to a proof of concept synth I'm tinkering with. It was inspired by the "additive heaven" synth included in Max for Live. I left out a LOT of features that would make it a real synth so that the flow is easier to follow. I'll have to clean it up and break this tutorial down into more bite sized chunks. Hopefully this tutorial can inspire more experiments by others though!"
