MOOG Voyager 50th Anniversary Edition with VX351 CV Expander
via this auction
via the seller: "I bought this in a charity auction to help victims of the Tsunami and Earthquake in the Tohoku area. The original owner was the keyboard player for several well known J-Pop bands. However, it seems he played digital synths on stage, and this Moog had really never been used. I have also only used it very minimally, so it is in excellent condition.
Comes with a custom hardcase, a printed copy of the manual, and also the VX351 cv expander which i bought new only a few months ago. Cable for the expander is also included."

To Tell the Truth - Yoko Kanno - performed by Randy George, theremin
YouTube Uploaded by ooo6 on Oct 18, 2011
"To Tell the Truth - composed by Yoko Kanno. Performed by Randy George on theremin, with music from the original sound track of the animation series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
http://randygeorgemusic.com
http://facebook.com/randygeorgemusic
Thank you dear Yoko Kanno, your melodies have touched my heart. I am so grateful for your contribution to the universe of music.
This video is dedicated to the those people who have it within themselves to speak from a place beyond the mind. To speak from a place of boundless wisdom, from the human core. To Tell The Truth requires immense courage because we live in a world where the the truth has purposely been hidden, and the only place to find it again is by going within and having trust in the heart.
The theremin is the only musical instrument in the world that can function as an interface for utilizing organic fluid motions to express what is deep inside a person's heart and soul.
Thank you, Lev Termen, Robert Moog, and Thierry Frenkel, masters of the art of weaving electronics and music. I am able to sing with my hands because of these three great people."

WASP VCF Clone
YouTube Uploaded by FrankenMusik on Oct 18, 2011
"Demo of a WASP VCF Clone.
I am using the KORG EA-1 mainly for sequencing of the square wave based synthesizer (just above the VCF).
First part is just the synth then, i patch the sound through the EA-1 which is connected to the VCF.
Ads excellent dimension to sounds.
Has multiple filter settings
Also has distortion switch."
Vintage ARP Odyssey Synthesizer
via this auction"The frequency modulation on this synth is amazing but often overlooked, i.e. you can route the output of the sample and hold MIXER (prior to the s/h)
to both VCO 2 and to the Filter cutoff! Speaking of the filter, this Synth has the smooth 4075, a 24db Low pass VCF, the second filter is a HP filter great for cutting the lows on more cutting sounds."
Doepfer A-157 Trigger Sequencer in the Works
via PatchPierre.Net
"This is what Dieter Doepfer's feedback was, when this step-sequencer got mentioned this week in the Doepfer A-100 Usergroup :
'...it will definitely come !
At present we are waiting for the new PCB prototype with 16 x 8 buttons and LEDs.
Our first plan to use two pc board with 8x8 buttons and LEDs did not work because this would cause a gap between the steps 8 and 9 because of the space required for the PCB connectors.
Our plan is to separate the 16x8 button/LED board from the control unit as it seems that there are two groups of users: those who vote for a simple, easy to use (and soon available) version and those for a "sophisticated" version with additional features (probably with LC display to handle all functions).
The plan for the simple version is to have only two clock/start/stop inputs available (clock #1 for the units 1-4, clock #2 for 5-8) and a simple memory management (similar to the TR808).
For the "sophisticated" version there are plans like independend first/last step for each row, copy and paste functions between rows and memories, right/left shift of complete rows, longer patterns (A, AB, ABCD), maybe intros, fill in's, track programming, more than two clocks and some more.
To handle these additional functions probably an LC display and additional buttons will be necessary.
But this information is very preliminary.
One could use the standard control unit at first and then replace it by the high end version as soon as it is available.'"
AudioThing TapeStation - Novation BassStation for Kontakt
Update: Details, download, and documentation are up on AudioThing.
Details captured here for the archives. Be sure to see AudioThing for the download and PDF. "What happens when a ’90s analog synth meets an ’80s tape recorder? We sampled a famous Analogue Bass Synth to tape using a new old stock cassette, and boxed it into a Kontakt Instrument. The original synth produced fat basses and sharp leads, but now the raw tape sounds and unstable pitch add perfect elements for “tron” like sounds. Each waveform (Sawtooth, Square, Pulse 5%) was sampled chromatically from C0 to C7 and each sample is more then 6 seconds long.
In the custom Performance View a Saturation and Limiter Input Gain are added to the original synth’s parameters.
Introduction Price: $9 (goes $12 on 24/10)
2 Oscillators (Saw, Square, Pulse 5%)
12-24dB/oct filter
1 LFO (Random, Saw, Triangle) for Pitch and Cutoff
2 Envelopes
24 Factory Presets
24 User Presets (save function within the Kontakt GUI)
Sample resolution: 44.1Khz / 24Bit
Size: 200 MB installed
Custom performance view
Native Instruments Kontakt 4.2.2 full retail version is required"

New Synths & Effects Coming to Pulse Code Inc's Rhythm Studio
via Pulse Code
"As hinted at by our new app icon, we are adding another subtractive monosynth in the classic Moog style.
It will be a 2 oscillator synth with oscillator sync and ring modulation. The oscillators themselves will be modeled, so it isn’t going to have perfect waveforms, but will look and sound more like real hardware.
The new synth will also have a 24db resonant ladder filter and full ADSR envelopes for both filter and amp.
Besides the new synth, we have 4 more effects:
E.Q.
Phaser
Auto Filter
Amp Distortion
All of the work above has either been completely coded, or is almost done, so we can gaurantee that it will make the next major update."

How the Animoog X/Y Pad Works
If you are curious how the X/Y Pad on Animoog works, Bob Borries has a great page that illustrates what it does. See the site for the animated gifs and a little more info.
via Bob Borries in the comments of the original Animoog post.
"The X/Y Pad has 8 horizontal timbres zones that crossfade in the up/down direction. You can assign a different timbre for each zone, Each timbre has an oscillator going through audio processing with parameters you can change in the left/right direction."

Brochure display stand theremin
YouTube Uploaded by TechnikAlsace on Oct 18, 2011
"I was asked to develop a pitch-only theremin with a smooth and "convenient" sound, easy to setup, stable in tuning, no "negative" zone, which should serve as "ear catcher" integrated in a brochure display stand.
The brochures inform about the Node Festival "From the Theremin to the analogue Synthesizer" which will be held in Lausanne/Switzerland from January 28th to 29th, 2012. I'll be there... who else?
More info: http://www.node-rdv.ch and http://www.loopline.ch
Enjoy!"
This one reminds me if the old joke where you put a twenty dollar bill next a theremin at a party.

10 Vintage PAiA EKx series kits
via this auction
"And indeed you must be a fan or an old timer if you remember these kits, the PAiA EKx Experimenter Series kits.
The concept was, if you were a bit more advanced DIY-er than the usual kit assembler, these kits allowed you to customize your own build of a complete module utilizing the provided Curtis CEM chips, circuit board and a handful of support parts. Kits were available for VCOs, VCFs, a Dual Channel VCA and a VC ADSR. They come with a data sheet for the chip and an assembly manual for the card.
This auction includes one such finished module, a VC ADSR made using a PAiA 9700 series Frac panel as the faceplate. It worked the last time I tried it, which has been several years ago. Should still work but I can't say for sure, so I won't. Has a standard PAiA power connector attached. VERY basic functions (no repeat function) but lots of mini jack VC ins and voltage outs, including an attenuated output and a fixed output.
Here is the deal on the unbuilt kits - the foam pieces that used to hold trim pots, sockets, etc. have turned into dust. TOTALLY. So all the bags with the parts, minus the Curtis chips which are packaged separately, are full of the black foam dust. It's a mess. You could clean up the support parts or throw them away. What you are really buying these for are the circuit boards and Curtis chips. The rest are common parts, and the included parts (things like trimpots) are pretty cheap ones.
Some of the bags have been opened and are probably missing some of those support parts anyway, but all but one kit has the Curtis chip and circuit board present. I do not claim all those support parts are there. They have been shuffled around for years and most likely some of the kits are missing some resistors, caps, etc.The following kits are included in the auction:
1 EXx-10 VC ADSR
1 EKx -20 VCF
6 EKx-30 Dual VCA (can be set up to be Exponential or Linear response)
2 EKx -40 VCO (ONE OF THEM IS MISSING THE CURTIS CHIP)
a small bag of parts
and the assembled EKx-10 VC ADSR module
I make NO PROMISE that the Curtis chips are good. They should be, as they are still in the original packs, but who knows..."
