Some Holiday Cheer From The Bob Moog Foundation

Some holiday cheer sent my way via The Bob Moog Foundation.

Look what showed up in my mailbox just in time for Christmas!  The Bob Moog Foundation 2016 Calendar, "Circuit of My Mind T-Shirt", and a personally signed card. You can find the Calendar and T-Shirt along with other cool items in their online shop.  I have to say they are very nice quality and I look forward to proudly wearing my T.  There is a great inscription on the back. You can check it out in their online shop here.

Thank you Bob Moog Foundation! Happy holidays to you, and thank you for what you do for the synth community. You are one of the few organizations able to introduce the world of synthesizers to those who might otherwise not get the chance, for example through Dr. Bob's SoundSchool for kids.

Vintage Oberheim Ads & AES Documentation

This is pretty incredible. To the left is "A 'RING MODULATION' DEVICE FOR THE PERFORMING MUSICIAN" by Thomas E. Oberheim of Oberheim Electronics presented at the 38th AES Convention on May 4-7, 1970.  Below are additional paraphernalia including a sticker and advertising materials.

"This sale is for an assortment of 1976 Oberheim documents.

Everything was stored, folded, in the 'Synthesizer Expander Module' ad. It shows storage wear and tear and is NOT in great shape. The large multi-folded brochure is in great condition with some foxing. The personal correspondence from Oberheim is in great condition.

Please note that the sticker has been crisply folded for decades and may not stick properly anymore."

Christmas Camouflage for the JUNO-106 via Analogue Renaissance

via Analogue Renaissance

"As panasonic stopped making slide potentiometers a few years ago, the remaining stock of the ones that fit in the Juno-106 is now depleted and none of the available replicas are good enough according to my standards, I designed a new fader kit for the Juno-106. I added some LEDs (you can never have enough of those) to the mix and their brightness follows the position of faders.

The Unobtainium 4-position fader (custom made by Alps) is also included and will be available in non-led version. Most if it will be pre-wired to make installation easier and is designed as such (full analog design, separate power lines, hysteresis and separate reference for the HPF) to not interfere with the Juno's very sensitive readout of the faders. Fully operational protype is there. Some minor design changes need to be done for another prototype run and then it will go into production.

More info soon.

Best regards and Merry Christmas,

Jeroen of Analogue Renaissance.

Ambient Synth Jam - Moog Werkstatt, Roland JP-08, Arturia Microbrute, Roland Space Chorus RE-301

Published on Dec 20, 2015 JimBobJrJackson Earmonkey

"My wife got me lights for the studio. She's awesome! Makes this even more fun. This little jam is all played live. No sequencers. Started with just the Werkstatt playing a pulse wave. Modulate it with the Werkstatt LFO set to square to get the repeating octaves. Add some VCF modulation by routing the Microbrute LFO into the Werkstatt expansion board. Effects provided primarily by Roland Space Chorus Echo. A beautiful tape delay. Some Valhalla Shimmer and Ubermod added midway in the video just to make it even bigger. The JP-08 and Microbrute playing leads and stuff. I think I could do this all day long."

Ambient Synth Jam #2 - Moog Wertkstatt - Roland JP-08 - Microbrute - Roland Space Chorus Tape Delay

Published on Dec 23, 2015

"Live jam with no sequencers or external anything other than some reverb added in Ableton. The Werkstatt is providing the rhythmic pulse from its LFO, square wave modulating the filter envelope quite heavily. The LFO from the Brute is modulating the Werkstatt as a second LFO to get filter sweeps. The LFO out of the Werkstatt is going back in to the Brute and provides a sort of rhythmic texture when I play the lead parts on the Brute. Roland JP-08 filling in. And the whole thing running through the brilliant Roland Space Chorus tape delay. Butter."

Roland Boutique - JP-08 and JU-06 Demo - Jupiter Loves Juno

Published on Dec 5, 2015 JimBobJrJackson Earmonkey

"Who says four voices can't sound big? Anyone who's never layered a JP-08 with a JU-06. Two pad patches I programmed for each synth, recorded in Ableton. Delay and reverb FX provided by Valhalla Ubermod and Valhalla Shimmer."

Roland Boutique - Two JP-08 Modules in Chain Mode Demo 1

Published on Dec 9, 2015 JimBobJrJackson Earmonkey

"Big huge sound out of 8-voices of JP-08. I played the first patch with NO external effects, but there is some internal delay. The first patch is played in Dual mode which gives you four voices in total, but each voice has FOUR oscillators pumping out sound, and slightly delayed or detuned or something. Not sure what Roland has going on there, but it sounds incredibly big. The following few patches were played first dry, then with some chorus added. 8 voices with external chorus can be great. Finally, I show the two units in solo mode which gives you a big huge four oscillators. You could do this by simply layering as well, but in chain mode both units will respond to changes made on unit 1. So if you change the cutoff frequency, for example, it will change on both units. This is just a short little demo. I'll have more coming later."

Roland Boutique JP-08 (Jupiter 8 module) Live Session

Published on Oct 24, 2015 JimBobJrJackson Earmonkey

"I've had the JP-08 for a few days now. Getting to know it. It's very powerful and it sounds fantastic. This is just a little demo of me sitting at the keyboard for a while and tweaking the sounds. I"m not the greatest keyboard player so forgive me there.

Most everything was done in manual mode. There are no factory presets here. The two patches I pull up at the end are ones I created myself. The majority of this demo is all JP-08 recorded straight into Ableton with no FX. When I do use FX near the end, as noted on the video, I am using Valhalla Ubermod for chorus, and Valhalla Shimmer for that shimmery big reverb. The delay on the lead sound is just an Ableton Ping Pong delay. The sounds are played dry first though so you can tell what the synth sounds like without the processing. But let's face it...we have FX for a reason so why not use them.

I will keep making videos because this 12 minutes doesn't even scratch the surface. If there's something you'd like to know about this unit I'll be glad to answer questions or post more video. I always find that helpful when I'm considering a purchase.

If you just want to talk about how awful and stupid the Boutique range is, well, I guess you can, though I'm not sure what purpose it serves. Buy a Jupiter 8 and be happy. Whining about the Boutique units is kind of like kicking puppies and about as worthwhile. I have a Juno 106 and guess what. I like this JP-08 better.

Sorry for the sometimes blurry video. My son didn't know what I wanted him to shoot. And also, the video ends before the audio by a few seconds. Well this is my first video like this so it'll get better"

Disassembled Record Player for module (prototype)

Published on Dec 24, 2015 Dani Dögenigt

"Want to make a compact and simple upright record player for my modular system. This is a very early prototype without speed control or stabilization."

This is pretty interesting. Imaging using various LPs for CV control. New interpretations of classic tracks. Would would Hendrix, the Beatles or even Aphex Twin bring? Another interesting thing to think about is if you made an album using CV control of another album would it be considered copyright violation?

Rare Multivox MX8100 - Analog Synth Controller/Sequencer - 1979

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

via this auction

"Multivox MX-8100 branded a "Computer Basic System." Extremely nice condition for such a vintage unit. Made in late seventies, think I bought in very early eighties. Only minor issue is two missing plastic feet that I must have taken off probably thirty years ago to fit it into whatever keyboard stand I was using at the time. I found one rub mark on back and some very minor wear on edges. See pics for details.

I purchased this at the same time as the SPV-355 Analog Roland Synth I recently sold here on ebay. The control voltage works perfectly with old Roland and Korg Analog Synths. I remember making an adaptor to use with my Minimoog back in the day."
