"Check out our new archive-inspired t-shirts and cool threads for the babies in your life!

We are delighted to share our new "Dr. Bob's Archive Series" line of apparel with you. Using art and graphics found in vintage materials from Bob's extensive and historic archives, this line will highlight the path of innovation and creativity that Bob cultivated throughout his career.

Thereminsa T-shirtIt's only fitting that we launch the line with our "Thereminista" t-shirt. This lovely graphic was taken from a 1964 R. A. Moog Co. catalog that featured four theremins and a new theremin amplifier.

The "Thereminista" shirts are available in both men's and women's styles. Our brand new logo graces the back left shoulder.

We couldn't let our 5th anniversary pass without sharing this super geeky-cool "SynthHead" graphic. We found it on an announcement for a course on "synthesizer instruction" that Bob was teaching.

Our "SynthHead" tee is available in men's and women's styles. Our new "Dr. Bob" logo graces the back left shoulder.

Finally for the babes in your life we have a special selection of "Dr. Bob" t-shirts and onesies to inspire their budding creative spirits!"

Vintage Analog Synthesizer 70s Project Synth

via this auction

"An Analogue modular type Synthesizer. In all honesty I can't tell you too much about it. It powers up and I can get it to generate White noise out of the noise output.

It seems to be modular in it's operation and I don't know what im doing in that regard. So for all I know by plugging in a few ins and outs it could be generating some fat pulses and sounds. It looks like something that should on the control panel of the tardis."

Rhythm Studio Hornet Synth


via Pulse Code, Inc

"Here is the first synth we are adding to Rhythm Studio. The first of many. It is a subtractive synth with design inspired by the EDP WASP and Korg Monotribe. It will have a ribbon style keyboard. The oscillator produces three waveforms simultaneously, along with noise. The controls were kept as simple as possible while still giving you loads of sonic possibilities.

Look out for the Hornet in the first major update of Rhythm Studio (coming soon).

More specialized synths are on the way!"

NES Advantage Noise Synth


YouTube Uploaded by mike19822058 on Aug 25, 2011

"HandmadeElectronicInstruments.com
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80497002/nes-advantage-noise-synth

This device consists of three square-wave oscillators built into a NES Advantage controller. The joystick plays 4 pitches and the frequency spread is tuned with the first knob at the bottom. A and B control two additional oscillators with their own frequency controls. These also utilize the original TURBO effect which sounds like a stutter each with a on/off and speed control. The oscillators nicely modulate each other creating a wide array of noise.

Player select has been repurposed as a power switch, select and start have been replaced by red lights, and slow works as a way to hold down the A trigger and free up a hand.

There is a master volume control. Output is in the form of a standard 1/4" jack at the end of the original cable, which makes it easy to connect to amps, effects, or recording equipment. It is powered by an included external 9 volt battery."

The National Anthem of Japan :: Kimi Ga Yo - performed by Billy Cardine

Realistic MG-1 by MOOG


via this auction

SN 1237 or 1437

pics of the inside below.

"Though this bares the Realistic brand name and only has the Moog name in small print, this synth was manufactured by Moog Music in their factory and just sold at Radio Shack stores under their brand name. The circuit board has the Moog logo that you've all seen many times before (see the pictures below).

I put the Rogue name in the title because this unit was designed to be a budget version of the Rogue for the home user. The funny thing is though that it actually has a few extra features that are missing from the Rogue:

1. Indivdually switchable waveforms for each oscillator (rather than ganged on the Rogue)
2. Individually switchable octave for each osc (rather than ganged on the Rogue)
3. Ring Mod sound source (called Bell Tone)
4. Extra poly section. This is often referred to as the "crappy 'organ' sound", but it's an extra feature that can be useful.
5. Internal power supply with attached cord (the Rogue has an external power supply that has a unique connector, so replacements are difficult to come by)

The only things the Rogue has over the MG-1 are:
1. Performance wheels (the MG-1 has sliders for mod depth but no pitch bend ability).
2. Fully variable keyboard tracking (the MG-1 has off, half, full - switched)

There are a few other quirks that this unit has because of it being aimed at the home market. Many of the controls has different labels (Oscillators are called Tone Source, Attack and Decay are referred to as Rise and Fall Time, etc). It also has RCA outputs on the back. There is a 1/4" headphone output on the front which is what I'ved used and it works great. Many people mod theirs to replace the RCA with 1/4" inputs. There are two RCA inputs but they just pass the sound through uneffected so that users could play along with their record collection. Many people have modded those inputs to pass through the Filter section. MIDI can also be added to this unit by mod.

This unit is usually found for less than the Moog Rogue simply because it doesn't have the Moog logo on it. If you want that famous Moog sound for less, then get this synth! It has great features and has some serious bass to it!"

Accelerator Chord Sequencing (audio begins at 00:22)


YouTube Uploaded by bigcitymusic on Aug 25, 2011

"This board is amazing. We started digging into the sequencer functions and there is just so much this beauty can do.

One feature we really like is being able to hold a sequencer step pot and enter a note in. In fact you can enter whole chords into the sequencer memory virtually instantaneously. Just push and hold the desired step's knob and play the note or chord. Nice!"
