"We got our hands on both a Voyager and Model D and decided to set them up together to discover how they sound.

See http://sound-guru.com/mg for some Sampler Instruments made from these instruments (EXS24 & Kontakt).

Recorded at Blackdown Studio (http://blackdownstudio.com). HD recommended for better audio.

Also, apologies for my incorrect pronunciation of "Moog". It's how I've always said it, and it's hard to get out of the habit."

VINTAGE ELECTRO HARMONIX BASS MICRO SYNTHESIZER


via this auction

"POWER CORD VERSION. We do not know the manufacturing date. Our best estimate is the early 1980's

Comes in original box and includes all original paperwork including warranty card (though we doubt EHX will still honor it)

The Bass Micro Synthesizer has the same feature set as the Micro Synthesizer, but includes a trigger and filter sweep range especially tailored for bass guitar. The same fat analog synth textures give your bass a whole new range of possibilities: from percussive stabs to backwards-sounding bowed sounds."

"Here is a track featuring a Esq1 ( earlier model metal casing, sturdy and heavy as hell )
esq1 is the moving drone/pad
3 different long and complex envelopes controlling each osc's pitch.
plus some parameters automation ( pressure,vel,mod wheel...etc ) via ableton to make it even more moving, evolving on a relatively long period of time
the mood is rather dark and abstract."

Crumar SPIRIT SN N1 00020

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"This is one of the most powerful and certainly the most mind-boggling vintage analogue monosynths around. Designed by (the big man himself) Bob Moog, Tom Rhea and Jim Scott in the early 1980s for Italian company, Crumar (from MARio CRUcianelli, in case you were wondering).

Rumours abound as to how many of these were actually made - they arrived at rather the wrong time and were eclipsed by the digital DX7 - as few as 100, definitely not more than 300. This baby is serial number 20. What's more, this exact instrument was previously owned by the legendary and sadly long gone BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Who knows what TV themes and incidental sound effects it has graced? A proper collectors item."

Oberheim DRUMMER Perf/x midi interactive programmer


via this auction

"Breathe new life into your drum machine, percussion module or workstation. Drummer is an interactive drum pattern sequencer that signals an end to the tedious chore of programming each and every beat, without resorting to stiff "Robo-Beats".

Drummer features one hundred drum "Patterns", including user programs.Each Pattern can be assigned one of 100 rhythmic "Feels", a tempo, time signature. and one of eight "Extra Percussion" settings, creating a Drummer "Preset". It is these "Feels" that give Drummer its characteristically human fiavor. Each Preset can be assigned to play one of the sixteen programmable "Kits" in the Drummer, used to organize the percussion and drum sounds in your rig. Presets can be strung together in up to sixteen full "Songs".

Like any good drummer, the Oberheim Drummer listens and reacts to your playing. Dynamics, fills. and other features can all be set to follow and respond to your MIDI performance in one of the unique Drummer "Jam" modes. Files can be saved and loaded via MIDI. Four footswitch jacks allow for real time performance control of the Oberheim Drummer.

Drummer
The Oberheim engineers have designed the perfect tool for creating drum pattems, rhythms and fills to interface to drum machines and modules...the Drummer. By adding the Drummer to a MIDI setup, stilted mechanical drum pattems are a thing of the past. The Drummer is easy to use and makes drum tracks come alive allowing more time to be spent on other aspects of the music.

With over 10,000 different rhythm possibilities, the Drummer has just about everything needed to expand drum programming. In addition, there is a built in sequencer which will allow new patterns to be recorded. Finally, if that was not enough. the Drummer has an interactive mode called "Jam" which will follow the tempo set by MIDI IN data (from a keyboard or drum trigger).

The Drummer will become a valuable addition to live performances. recording sessions and compositions. Now everyone can have drum tracks that sound like they were played by a live drummer. Here are more of the impressive features of the Drummer:

· Randomized "human" drum fills
· 16 Programmable drum kits
· 100 Presets (Pattern and Rhythm)
· Song Mode (Preset chain)
· Programmable Fills in Song Mode
· Jam Mode (Drummer will follow playing styles)
· Supports MIDI Sysex for storage of Pattems and Songs
Four foot switch inputs (Start; Break; Add Percussion; Fill-In )
· Programmable Tempo and Time Signature."

Variations on Incontri di Fasce Sonore

Audio comes in at 1:21.

"Incontri di fasce sonore is one of Franco Evangelisti masterpieces.
Recorded in 1957 at WDR, Cologne, it is one of the classic scores of the integral serial music era.

This is a preliminary study to investigate the possibility of playing 1950s serial music with the Buchla synthesizer and Max/MSP.

I've programmed 315 mixtures of 7 sinusoidal tones in Max/MSP following the score's instructions,
then I've played them with the Buchla, creating a variation piece.

• Sound generation: MAX/MSP

• Music interface, amplification, spatialization, ring modulation, frequency shifting: Buchla 200e

• Reverb: Jomox T-Resonator

• Reverse sounds: EHX2880
