via Moog Music"Moog Music Inc. is proud to present Dr. Joseph Akins’ five part series on the fundamentals of synthesizer programming. Dr. Akins is an associate professor at Middle Tennessee State University and strives to teach his students a complete understanding of synthesizers and computers as tools for modern music production. In this five part series Dr. Akins uses a Voyager to teach the process through which a synthesizer’s sound is generated and the techniques needed to program your own sounds and sonic experiments. In part one of this five part series Dr. Akins gives a brief history of synthesizers, goes over basic synthesizer theory, and overviews basic signal flow."

I Dream of Wires' Solvent Eurorack Modular Noise
"Here is a new modular noise improv, created by Jason Amm (Solvent) on his Eurorack system. Watch your speakers - this often loud and ugly. Note - the "storm" begins just after the six minute mark.
Cylonix Cyclebox digital VCO module module (0101 mode) provides the rhythm and modulates (via the Cyclebox's Lag Out) the LPF & HPF of a WMD Micro Hadron Controller dual VCF module. The Cyclebox audio is going through the WMD filter. An LFO modulates the Mix-CV on the WMD, alternating between the LPF & HPF channels. Delay is from a Pittsburgh Analog Delay module through one channel of Intellijel Corgasmastron dual VCF module in HPF mode. A drone is introduced - a Pittsburgh Generator dual VCO module through Intellijel uFold wavefolder module - also fed through the WMD filter. The Generator is modulated by a Livewire Dalek Modulator module. The three elements (Cyclebox rhythm, Pittsburgh delay, Generator/uFold drone) are faded in and out manually via various mixer and attenuator modules.

YouTube Uploaded by TheAnalogLab on Feb 3, 2012
"Korg PS-3300 recently repaired and restored by The Analog Lab
The PS-3300 allows you to tune each individual note on the front panel of each module. We decided to take this opportunity to put it in Just Intonation and play some Satie.
The main problem with this unit was all of the connectors for the bus bars attached to the circuit boards were cracked."
Doepfer Dark Trilogy
"The Dark Trilogy (Polyphonic) synthesizer is a semi-modular synthesizer based on the Doepfer Dark Energy. It consists of three Dark Energy synthesizers and one Dark Time sequencer. By linking them internally or stacking them, a three voice synthesizer is built.
The Dark Trilogy is a custom semi-modular synthesizer. All the audio outputs are moved to the back. Therefore the CV 4 output is used.
To control each unit with the separate glide option a multicable is made from the keyboard to the units. The rotary knobs are built on top of the keyboard..."
Recent Round of Ebay Scams
Minimoog with Koa Wood
Synclavier 6400 System with Keyboard
ROLAND JUPITER 8 / JP-8 SN 110897
The first is still on eBay with 4 bids. The second two have already been pulled. Usually they have an embedded gif like the above with a low Buy it Now and request to contact them offline. I didn't see these when I posted the three, so I'm wondering if they were added later, or if I'm just losing my mind. Anyway, keep an eye out for them. Always buy through eBay and use your credit card through Paypal if you can. If Paypal doesn't take care of it for you, your CC company should. Never give your personal info to the seller and avoid communication outside of eBay if you suspect anything. They might be after more than the $1800. Also be careful of people trying to string you along past the eBay feedback period. I got scammed once on a Prophet-5 that way. The seller convinced me to drop it off at a tech friend of his who actually had a valid shop and listing in the phone book. By the time I got it back unfixed it was too late to leave any negative feedback.
Another scam that appears to be going on is one where the "seller" contacts you offline on an eBay auction you didn't win and offers to sell it to you because the winner backed down.
Thanks goes to Joakim for catching the Jupiter and Sergey for the heads up.

RL Music Synth Pics - Custom Emu Modular, Rhodes Chroma & More
Regarding the custom Emu: "Here's the full high-res picture of my Emu Modular that I took in Aug 2010, just after KSR had immaculately restored it. This is a rather unusual system in that it was built from a kit, although the keyboard controller was the standard Factory unit. You may be able to tell from the picture, but this could operate up to 16 note polyphony so was powerful and sounded simply beautiful. This was I sold in 2011 to a huge Modular fan whom also had purchased some Roland System 700 block from me previously. I hope you like the picture :o)"
"Here is a nice picture of a Rhodes Chroma & Expander I sold to a very nice Austrian Surgeon/Synth enthusiast back in 2009. Both units were fully restored by Kent Spong of KSR....to perfection as always :o)"
Techno...Electro...Whatever....

"This is a rhythmic patch featuring the 258v and ZOe modules. The saw section is driven by the first sequencer from the 251e. The square section is the kick/bass. The ZOe is FM'd by the saw of the 258v. The 259e provides the snare and the 266e is the source for the hat."
ELECTRO HARMONIX Big Box MICRO SYNTH
via this auction
"Here is a an Electro Harmonix Big Box. This older version of the pedal has become a desired for its classic folded body, self adjustable pot accessible on bottom, and reported longer sustain than its newer counterpart. This particular version also lends itself to extraordinary mods, that can be seen throughout the Web.
When I got this pedal a time back, I could never get it play like I wanted. After reading online blogs and posts, I found that there is a reported learning curve that accompanies this pedal. It is analog monophonic, and requires a proper technique and style of play. I personally could never adjust to it, and could not determine if it was just my inability, or faulty pedal. Not having access to another pedal to compare it to, I contacted Electro Harmonix to see if they could check it out for me. They were very cooperative, and gave me an address and instructions of were to send it to to have it inspected. They said they would charge a flat fee of $25 and for that amount , test and recalibrate the unit to factory specs. This would include the service and return shipping! I thought this sounded like a great deal. I became occupied with other projects and never got around to it, and am now selling it.
This being said, the pedal is in great cosmetic condition with minor wear(see photos) Because I can not guarentee that the pedal is playing at 100%, It is being sold AS IS., and at a lower than general price. As mentioned above, If you found that the pedal is not playing as intended, ElectroHarmonix will test and recalibrate the unit to factory specs, for $25.00."

"Baby brother of the Yamaha E-1010. Almost identical to the E-1010 except lacks a few of its features. In addition to a delay section is a modulation section in which you can create some fantastic sounding chorus/flanging sounds.
Below is the manual for the E1005.

Internally- Apart from any repairs, it has been disassembled and cleaned, all electrolytic capacitors replaced, all switches and potentiometers cleaned, has the "switch mod" for better reliability, all trimmers on the oscillator card replaced, the edge connectors resoldered, new 1% resistors and it's been fully calibrated. The keyboard has been disassembled, cleaned, key contacts cleaned, all parts inside have been relubed, it has new key bushings (action feels great) and the keyboard, pitch/modulation cinch connectors have been replaced with better molex connectors. This one does have the "buffer board" for better tuning."

"This video is of just under 1/2 of the 1st Official $PLURJ! Noise Piece. Created with my $PLURJ! modular synthesizer that I've created / built, using 2 x Voltage Controlled Oscillators as audio sources and many, many other modules as modulators. It'd take forever to describe the patch. Outside of that - no effects were used. It's all pure $PLURJ! noising away. I hope you (noise / experimental enthusiasts), enjoy. :)"
