XAOC Devices Moskwa Sketchbook

"This is a collection of analog modular synth compositions showcasing the creative capabilities of XAOC Devices Moskwa roto sequencer eurorack module. Each auditory sketch on this project was recorded live in one take over a 3 week period with no outside sequencing from the computer. I originally intended to record 5-6 sketches for the project... but the Moskwa ended up being so fun and inspiring that I wound up with 13 compositions for this project.
This release comes with a PDF Moskwa sketchbook featuring art by Shiro Fujioka and visual patch diagrams of some of the sketches heard on this album that you can try and or re interpret with your own modular synth."

"credits
released 09 February 2013
All analog modular synth composition performed and produced by VoltageCtrlr aka Shiro Fujioka at Akashic Mountain Studio.

Special thanks to the XAOC Devices for the inspirational instruments and support on this project.

Extra special thanks to The Wigglers for the inspiration and your ears."

Oberheim OB-Xa with Midi and MRam with Unlimited Patches?

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

via this auction

"Oberheim OBXa made in 1981. Where to start? First she's had her keybed restored with super low action. It almost feels like you're playing a toy, I'm dead serious. Is just that light of a touch now. No more "click click." Next I've added midi to her from electrongate.com which is the business of Paul White who worked at Oberheim all those years. The midi is the exact replica of the factory midi from the early days of Oberheim. Next I've added the MRam card which eliminates the need for a battery PLUS you can store an unlimited amount of programs if you can find it LoL. Of course all these upgrades are not permanent so you can go back to original if you wanted too. Lastly she got some brand new sides, awesome black walnut. Just look at that wood grain! The originals are not included."
