OB-6/Prophet 6/Odyssey - "Please, no"


Published on Apr 28, 2017 Jae Ryan

"I made a vow to my girlfriend that I wouldn't get into Eurorack until we buy a house. I have friends that have recently gotten into it and the modular bug has been biting me BAD. So I decided I would set out with what I have and try and make the most modular thing possible!

There's no video of me playing this time because I'm actually NOT. I cranked the VCA gain on the Odyssey and used the hold switches on the Prophet and OB and just let them go.

Odyssey is doing the Drone that starts first and fades out in the end.
OB-6 comes in next with some weird random 'noise'

Prophet 6 is holding down the "Melody" and is heavily dosed in the Moog MF delay

They're all running into the Bigsky which is on a cliche shimmer setting but is certainly what makes the track!

No modular anytime soon, but this was certainly fulfilling!

Excuse the annoying video, I needed to make some sort of visual accompaniment but it was of minimum priority!"

Moog Music Introduces the Moog Synthesizer IIIc Limited to 25 Units Worldwide

Moog Synthesizer IIIc (Or: Music For Riding Dragons)

Published on Apr 28, 2017 Moog Music Inc

"In the late 1960s, Bob Moog and a team of ten skilled technicians began hand-building cutting-edge musical instruments that they called "synthesizers" -- instruments that would radically change the landscape of music.

Fifty years later, we are proud to announce the return of the Moog Synthesizer IIIc to production for a very limited time.

Every Synthesizer IIIc will be built using all-original documentation, art, and circuit board files. Moog Synthesizer IIIc production is highly limited. Only 25 units will be produced and sold worldwide.

Sequencer Complement B sold separately."

"The Moog Synthesizer IIIc Returns to Production

Throughout the 1960s, Dr. Robert Moog collaborated with over 100 composers of electroacoustic music to create the synthesizer concept, born of thousands of design decisions and countless conversations. At the time, the available method of producing electronic music was the “classical studio,” a makeshift production environment cobbled together from individual electronic sound-generators such as surplus telecommunications devices, radio equipment, and early tape machines. Moog and the musicians he worked with streamlined this classical studio technique into a system of standardized sound modules.

In 1965, Bob Moog began taking orders for individual modules and customized modular systems. By 1967, he and a team of ten skilled technicians were hand-building production models in an unassuming brick storefront in Trumansburg, NY. The cutting-edge musical instruments that they called “synthesizers” signaled electronic music’s maturation from an awkward and shy intruder in the realm of music to a dynamic and significant medium of musical expression.

The first models were aptly named Synthesizer I, II, and III. With the introduction of the Moog Synthesizer IIIc -- the “c” referring to the walnut “console” cabinet -- musicians could purchase a complete instrument pre-configured for logical access to a range of facilities usually associated with the largest classical studios.

Each synthesizer took weeks of patient, steady crafting to complete, but the payoff would be rich -- a tool that would change the landscape of music.

The world got turned on to the idea of the synthesizer -- and electronic music -- through the visionary works of experimental musicians like Wendy Carlos and Isao Tomita. Sonic masterpieces like Switched On Bach and Snowflakes Are Dancing were made possible by the early modular Moog Synthesizers. These original modular systems designed by Bob Moog are inimitable in sonic character and remain highly coveted for their limitless reconfigurability and vibrantly organic musicality.

Fifty years later, we are proud to announce the return of the Moog Synthesizer IIIc to production for a very limited time.

'Through archival designs, so-called obsolete electronics, and outmoded production processes, we are rediscovering the magic of our past. It’s a privilege to build instruments in this way; it lets us reimagine what future tools can be. There is so much potential in this history.' - Anna Montoya, Moog Production Engineer / photo via deadaudioblog

Every Synthesizer IIIc will be built using all-original documentation, art, and circuit board files. Each instrument features thirty-six hand-stuffed, hand-soldered modules, including ten 901-Series audio oscillators, the 984 Matrix Mixer, and the 905 Spring Reverb. All modules are securely mounted into two hand-finished, solid walnut console cabinets at the Moog factory in Asheville, NC.

Moog Synthesizer IIIc production is highly limited. Only 25 units will be produced and sold worldwide."

Custom or New Roland JDXA MK2?


No details, just this image. You be the judge. I'm not seeing that much of a difference myself. It looks more like a slightly custom matte black JD-Xa with Jupiter-8 style side panels and some white instead of red on the left panel section. Knob caps are block vs. chrome. Not seeing much else different. Feel free to pick it apart w/ the original JD-XA below. If you notice anything else different leave a comment.

Syn Sunday Preview Concert for Denver Open Doors with Mark Mosher and Kuxaan Sum


Published on Apr 28, 2017 Mark Mosher

"On Sunday, April 30th, 5 experimental music artists from Denver will perform Syn Sunday for the City of Denver's Open Doors event. We'll be playing outside under the glass of the MASSIVE Galleria dome at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Early one morning last week, Kuxaan Sum joined me in a mini preview set for the CBS 4 news crew. After the news crew left, we played on and recorded this as we were so inspired by the massive space of glass, metal and concrete and the AMAZING reverb characteristics. This is a some footage of our mini set.

Come on Sunday to see the full concert with:

Dane Terry: noon - 12.25

Victoria Lundy: 12:30 - 12:55

Mark Mosher: 1:00 - 1:25

Chris Frain: 1:30 - 1:55

Kuxaan Sum: 2:00 - 2: 25
