"There were not many of these pedals made. According to the records there were 500 made and less then 100 exist today. This pedal is perfect working order and sounds incredible."

Anyone confirm the count? These used to come up fairly often.

Realistic Moog MG-1 Synthesizer Concertmate Monophonic Analog Synth SN 4643

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

via this auction

"Realistic MG-1 Synthesizer, made by Moog for Radio Shack. It is a 2 oscillator Analog Monophonic Synth. Serial # 4643

This MG-1 model is basically a Moog Rogue, without the Pitch and Mod wheels.

Unlike the Rouge, it has two additional "voices" in the mixer section, "Bell Tone"(a ring mod type sound based off Oscillators 1 and 2), and "Poly-Phony"(separate tone source with its own tuning, allowing chords to be achieved).

This specimen is in excellent physical condition. All slider caps and knobs intact. All switches and keys work, it sounds sweet.

There is slight cracking in the stick on panel graphic, which is purely cosmetic, see the last two photos. Doesn't affect playability or functionality.

Aprox. 7.5ft long 3 prong power cord.

Great source for cheap, dirty, and warm analog Moog bass. This was my backup, never gigged with it.

Unmodified. 2 RCA outs in back, 1/4" headphone stereo out in front.
This is a perfect candidate to modify and add 1/4" output jack, and/or a midi retrofit kit."

Buchla Music Easel iProgram Card Tip No. 3 from Todd Barton & Upcoming Quadraphonic Performance

Published on Nov 29, 2014 Todd Barton

"Just realized even when the iProgram Card for the Buchla Music Easel is in "remote" mode you can still get CVs out of the physical Easel's Inverter out, Envelop Detector out and Mod CV out jacks.
Thus you can synchronize, affect and connect other Buchla modules to your Easel. And you can control, program and save those Easel output settings via the Easel iPad app."

And the upcoming performance featuring Todd Barton & Bruce Bayard:

"Quadraphonic: Space as Metaphor

Beginning Friday, August 1, Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard, performing as the duet Control Voltage Therapy, presented a series of concerts every First Friday at the Schneider Museum of Art. The concerts were every First Friday, August through December beginning at 11am. This coming Friday will be the final concert in this series. The performances are free and open to the public. Performances begin at 11 a.m."

"THE electronic drum sound of the 80s!

This brain contains 6 drum modules: 1 bass, 1 snare and 4 toms. Pretty much works as it should. I've never used the mixer section since I've always used the individual outs for panning and processing."

Elektron A4 & RYTM - Paradise Lost

Published on Nov 29, 2014 DJjondent

"Here I'm mainly experimenting with the Scene Mode on the Rytm Drum machine. The Analog Four is just providing some background sounds.

The more I use the Rytm the more I realize that its real power lies with parameter locking. The Scene Mode gives you instant parameter locks."

Koushion 4.0 MIDI CC Sequencing with Moog Slim Phatty & Little Phatty

Published on Nov 29, 2014 experimentalsynth

"Some first experiments with sequencing MIDI CC values with the Koushion iPad app. New features in ver 4.0 allowed me to control multiple CC parameters simultaneously while also sequencing notes.

In this example I'm using Ableton as a master clock, to provide beats and to route the MIDI data from Koushion to the Moog synths (Little Phatty & Slim Phatty) and a (clock synced) Line 6 Echo Pro. The heart of the timbres I'm using here come from sequencing (on both synths) Osc 2 frequency on an oscillator sync patch, and filter envelope decay. I'm also sequencing Envelope Generator amount on the Slim Phatty for some additional variation.

This just scratches the surface of everything you can do with this setup. The Moog synths were great to use for this since you can also see the CC sequencing in action.

Koushion is great integrated into a larger setup like this, or as a stand alone sequencer. Check it out on the App Store."

Koushion is on sale this weekend on the app store.. Original price: $7.99; Sale price: $5.99 through Monday.

An Interview with KORG's Fumio Mieda & Hiroaki Nishijima

via @YabanKim

"my talk (german) with #Korg #Synthesizer-gurus Fumio Mieda & Hiroaki Nishijima http://www.amazona.de/report-korg-vintage-die-ms20-entwickler-fumio-mieda-und-hiroaki-nishijima/ … @matrixsynth"

Googlish translation here.

"Amazona:
Can you briefly tell how you came to Korg?

Fumio Mieda:
At first I had to construct no interest in synthesizers, but desire a new organ and therefore met Mr Kato, that was so 1968/1969. He listened to my ideas and gave me the OK to build a prototype for him. Because there should be two manuals and I had thought different functions, it took around one and a half years until I had finished the organ. So, at least I thought it would be an organ, but the people I showed it said: 'This is no organ, which is a synthesizer!'.

A Doepfer A-156 can be a fascinating semi-random sequencer
