ARP 2600 Synthesizer w/ 3620 Keyboard - New VCF, Ring Modulator and 1 new VCO

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

via this auction

"ARP 2600 synthesizer, including the 3620 Keyboard. The 3620 is the preferred keyboard for the 2600, as it includes an LFO, Vibrato, Portamento, second CV output for 2-voice operation and jacks for footswitches.

This ARP has had some recent repairs. VCO-1, the VCF and the Ring Modulator are all brand new, and made by CMS.

As a 41-year-old instrument, it of course has some issues. The keyboard, although fully-functions, could benefit from calibration. Also, VCO-1 works 100% when patched, but the normal is disconnected. As you can see in the photos, the sliders in the voltage processor section are missing their tabs, although they are 100% functional. Finally, the lid for the keyboard is included, but the lid for the console is missing...

FUNCTIONS:
3 Voltage Controlled Oscillators 03 Hz to 20 KHz in two ranges
Five waveforms include: variable-width pulse. triangle. sine, square, and sawtooth
1 Voltage Controlled Lowpass filter Variable resonance, DC coupled. Doubles as a low distortion sine oscillator.
1 Voltage Controlled Amplifier Exponential and linear control response characteristics
1 Ring Modulator. AC or DC coupled
2 Envelope Generators
1 Envelope Follower
1 Random Noise Generator
1 Sample & Hold with internal clock
1 General purpose Mixer and Panpot
1 Voltage Processor with variable lag
2 Voltage Processors with inverters
1 Reverberation unit
Twin uncorrelated stereo outputs
2 Built-in monitoring amplifiers and speakers, with standard stereo 8-ohm headphone jack
1 Microphone Preamp with adjustable gain
1 Four-octave keyboard with variable tuning, variable portamento, variable tone interval, and precision memory circuit

DIMENSIONS: Console 32" x 18" x 9x Keyboard 35" x 10" x 6" "

Multi Cassa Drum Machine v Arturia Microbrute analog synthesizer - ambient Jam

Published on May 7, 2015 Guy Schneerson

"My new MultiCassa Drum machine meets my Microbrute in an ambient Jam session.

The Multi Cassa is an amazingly original Grove box that produces organic rhythms using 3 analog oscillators with frequency, resonance and distortion, 4 clock dividers with each oscillator having a mixer for two of the clock dividers.

The Microbrute goes through lots of effect pedals but the Multi Cassa is not processed. the hole recording has been slitty enhanced in Ableton

Voice-controlled drone/noise

Published on May 6, 2015 Girid - John Burtell

"In my basement testing out a voice-controlled drone/noise program I designed for an upcoming live performance. Testing a new projector as well."

Some additional info on what is happening from John Burtell:

"In anticipation of an upcoming live performance in June, I decided to test out a voice-controlled drone/noise patch I created. The software used is Analog Box 2.42. Basically what's happening is every time my voice rises above a given threshold, an oscillator bank is fed through one of three processes (modulated filter, two-oscillator 'bass' synth, and a string resonator bank). The result, in turn, is fed into a loop. Parameters for all of the processes are changed based on the frequency content and volume of my voice."

You can find info on Analog Box here.

"Analog Box is an open-source, circuit based, modular software synthesizer. You put sound objects on the screen, connect them together, listen and adjust. When you find something you like, you can record it to a wav file, or just save the circuit and play it again later."

Switched-On: The Birth of the Moog Synthesizer Exhibit Ends This Month

via The Bob Moog Foundation:

"Switched-On: The Birth of the Moog Synthesizer, comes to a close this month after a successful year-long run at The History Center in Tompkins County in Ithaca, New York. The exhibit celebrates the seminal creation of Moog modular synthesizer over 50 years ago. On Saturday, May 16, 2015, a week before what would be Moog’s 81st birthday, The History Center and the Bob Moog Foundation will honor Moog’s life and legacy through the Bob Moog Birthday Bash, which will include a day of performances, discussions and presentations by notable musicians and Moog experts.

The celebration begins with a special screening of the Moog documentary at Cinemapolis in downtown Ithaca at 5pm on Friday, May 15th. Trevor Pinch, co-author of Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer, will introduce the film. Michelle Moog–Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation will lead a questions and answer session afterward.

The following day The History Center will host several presentations featuring unique insiders’ perspectives including those by: Roger Luther, former General Manager of Moog Music in Williamsville, NY and creator of Moogarchives.com; Michelle Moog-Koussa and Herb Deutsch, who will host a listening party exploring the 84 minute audio letter that Moog sent to Deutsch in 1964 with the prototype of the Moog synthesizer; and legendary producer and technician, Malcolm Cecil, co-founder of TONTOs Expanding Band and co-producer of four early Stevie Wonder albums. Sean Michaels, author of Us Conductors, a novel based on the life of Leon Theremin, will round out the day of presentations.

Nighttime musical performances include Electric Golem featuring Shueh-Li Ong on theremin and Malcolm Cecil on synthesizer, followed by Mother Mallard with legendary Moog synthesist David Borden, and concluding with a performance by Herb Deutsch.

Birthday Bash attendees will also be able to partake in the featured exhibit, which closes at the end of that day.

A complete listing of happenings as part of Bob Moog’s Birthday Bash, can be found at bobmoogbirthdaybash.splashthat.com and on The History Center in Tompkins County’s Facebook page."

Pittsburgh Modular Announces Switch Eurorack Module

"Take control of your signal path! The Switch is an analog, four channel signal switch with gate control and dual, assignable output busses.

Designed for performance, the Switch offers an interactive way to manage audio and CV signals within a complicated patch. A human or machine controlled signal router that utilizes four independent channels of manual and/or voltage controlled analog switching.

Each channel offers a manual on/off switch that acts as a master on/off control for the channel. With the master on/off switch flipped in the off position, the channel can be enabled or disabled using an external gate signal. If the external gate goes high, the switch opens, if the gate goes low, the switch closes. Easy.

The output signal is routed to three potential destinations. The first is a dedicated channel output jack. The remaining destinations are Bus A and Bus B. The signal can be independently routed to Bus A and Bus B by using the Send Bus Switches. The two Bus outputs can be switched between Bus A and Bus B for maximum signal control.

The Switch module uses fourteen manual switches and four CV inputs to allow intimate control of audio and CV signals. Each channel is routed through a dedicated, four stage switching circuit to ensure maximum signal isolation.

The module is available now exclusively at shop.pittsburghmodular.com. Production of the Switch was limited to 60 modules.

More information is available at pittsburghmodular.com/switch."
