New Moog Eurorack Modules - Geodesic Samplers & Geospatial Reverbs

Another one spotted by Soviet Space Child, via @hami.

These are part of the Global Synthesizer Project at Moogfest posted earlier here.

Moog's New BFAM - Brother From Another Mother - Synthesizer with Step Sequencer

via @hami

Another surprise from Moogfest. The knobs reveal it all. Single oscillator, noise, mix knob for the two, filter, Envelop, sequencer glide, gate length, clock rate, run/stop button, step knobs and step gate on/off switches.

Note the "Moogfest 2016 Engineering Workshop" on it. This is the one off synth for the event originally mentioned here.

New Minimoog Model D in the Works? Spotted at Moogfest!

Minimoog Model D Pilot Production

Published on May 19, 2016 Moog Music Inc

Update5: We now have confirmation with an official video from Moog Music.

"After more than 30 years, the Minimoog Model D returns with a pilot-production run at Moogfest 2016 in Durham, NC. Handcrafted in the Moog Pop-Up Factory, the pilot-production units built during the festival will only be available for purchase on-site in the Moog Store by Guitar Center."

Update6: and a video from Moogfest:

Moog Reintroduces The Minimoog Model D - Moogfest Video

Published on May 19, 2016 Synthtopia

"At Mioogfest 2016, Moog Music has reintroduced the classic Minimoog Model D.

We talked with Moog's Nick Montoya about the new Minimoog Model D, what's changed and what they've kept the same.

They've gone to great lengths to recreate the iconic Minimoog sound - but also added a new LFO, a better keyboard and support for additional control voltage options."

Inside The New Minimoog Model D

Published on May 22, 2016 Synthtopia

"At Moogfest 2016, Moog reintroduced the classic Minimoog Model D.

We talked with Moog's Nick Montoya, gave us a tour of the inside of the new Minimoog Model D, and explained some of the lengths they went to to nail the original Minimoog sound, and also what they changed to make the new Minimoog more reliable."

How To Build A New Minimoog Model D Synthesizer

Published on May 26, 2016 Synthtopia

"At Moogfest 2016, Moog reintroduced the classic Minimoog Model D synthesizer.

They also had a 'pop-up factory' onsite at the event. Basically, they moved their production line to Durham for the week and were assembling the new Minimoog's at the festival.

We talked with Moog's TJ Mills, who gave us a tour of their assembly process.

They start from a collection of individual parts and pre-assembled components from suppliers. The circuit boards, for example, are supplied pre-populated, using a variety of new and 'new old stock' parts. And the metal components are supplied reshaped and drilled to Moog's specifications.

In the video, TJ discusses what gets done at each stage of their assembly process, and how they calibrate and test the synthesizer once it is assembled."


Original post:

This one in via Soviet Space Child, via @Peff

I heard a rumor that it might have been shown at the Musikmesse, but there were no images at the time. This looks a bit more legit, unless of course that's just a vintage Model D being refurbished for Moogfest. :)

Update: via the Herald Sun: "A Moog Pop-Up Factory, featuring the interactive Global Synthesizer Project and assembly of Minimoog Model D synthesizers, opens in the Power Plant Gallery of the American Tobacco District."

Note the plural in "assembly of Minimoog Model D synthesizers". These are real and new. Soviet Space Child also noticed the three MINI jacks on back and the lack of an S-Trig jack on the left.

Update2: Another pic in via Soviet Space Child below. This one shows a dedicated LFO knob in the mod wheel section.

Update3: One more image of the parts spread out below and a quick video test of one being played by Gene Stopp.

Update4: Suggested price is $3499

For anyone who's interested, or new to modular, I hope the information below is helpful. I always got so much from reading other people's patch descriptions that I think it's only fair I put mine out there too.

Enjoy

Most of the modules are receiving some modulation from Make Noise WoggleBug and Xaoc Batumi in various ways.

First set of random sounds are being driven by Malekko Varigate clocking the René. VCO is the Endorphin.es Furthrrrr Generator and all waveforms are going into a Make Noise RxMx who's then feeding out to the MA35 VCF from Manhattan Analog.

Lead synth line is Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas running into WMD Aperture filter. WMD Mini Slew is being tweaked it goes into the WMD Amplitude. I'm running this line from the Stillson Hammer Mk2 by Industrial Music Electronics (The Harvestman) with the CV and Gate running into the Shakmat Modular - Bishops Miscellany that allows all the realtime sequencing fun.

Bassline is 3 synced AJH Mini Mod VCOs into the AJH VCF, Make Noise Maths is handling all the envelopes including filter. Runs out from there to the OTO Biscuit and back into the modular.

Pads are the 4xwavetable Mutable Instruments Braids sound. WoggleBug is slowly and randomly moving the clock on the Make Noise Pressure Points to change the chords. Sound is treated by TipTop ZDSP running the Valhalla Shimmer card and into the WMD Ultrafold to give it some drive later on. Then out of there into the Godbox Humpback VCF.

This all runs into the Intellijel DubMix and Expander where I've got the three Aux channels running out to a Moog MF-104M Delay, Strymon El Capistan delay and Eventide H9 (Spring setting) respectively.

Drums are all samples in the Rytm.

I think that's most of it. Lots of additional modulation by my hands. That's the point of course!"

"I found a great way to get some very vocal sounds from the Mother-32/MF-102 combination. The attack and decay controls allow for some remarkable fine-tuning of the articulation. Learn more at www.experimentalsynth.com"

Roland Jupiter 8 Walkthrough by GForce Software's Dave Spiers

Published on May 18, 2016 GForce Software

"GForce Software's Dave Spiers does a walkthrough of Roland's last flagship analogue polysynth, the legendary Jupiter 8.

01:32 Key Modes
05:13 Keyboard Assign Modes
06:26 Hold
07:38 Arpeggio Section
09:35 LFO Section & VCO Modulator
16:45 VCO 1
18:48 VCO 2
23:06 Filters
31:28 VCA
33:44 Envelopes
34:15 Bender & Modulation controls
40:19 Patches and Patch Presets
42:27 Final Track

The final track makes use of multiple JP-8 recordings and a single TR-808, all sync'd to Logic via the Roland SBX-1. The only additional instrument was Stylus RMX, used for additional drum duties

NB: While most of the audio examples have no added external effects, a few of 'prepared earlier' examples do.

Oh and next time I'll use a more stable stand!"
