WKGB perform Kids Today (studio) - EMS Vocoder

"Winter 1977/78. Guitar, bass, drums, MiniMoog, EMS Synthi AKS, EMS Vocoder, RMI 300B. David Goessling, Dennis Kelley, & me. Mixolydian Studios in Boonton, NJ, 8 tracks & Don Sternecker engineer. Sometime in 1978 or 79 these tapes were used as pre-show tunes for DEVO. The band WKGB (duo of Dave & Dennis) opened for DEVO at Wollman Rink in Central Park that summer.

Dark skies are overhead,
"Not far". God said.
Black smoke and a dead cat,
Kids today know where it's at.

The air is getting hot,
stoned bliss it's not.*
If I could read your mind
I wonder what I'd find.

(kids today know where it's at)

Dark skies are overhead,
"Not far". God said.
Smoke Rise and a dead cat,
Kids today know where it's at.

*or "stoned kids eat snot" depending on my mood that night."

Music Easel: exploration-2 compilation
Published on Jun 14, 2013

"Whoo-Hoo! I was lucky enough to borrow a prototype BEMI Music Easel the other weekend and give it a test drive. Though my flipcam mic doesn't do justice to the full range sound -- know that this is the cleanest, crispest and full bodied sound in all my sonic arsenal. The integrated keyboard is so intuitive and expressive. The oscillators are deep and rich -- great analog sound and feel. Hope you enjoy this little compilation -- maybe more to come with a different set of sounds. It is in the production pipeline! Cheers! Todd"

MOOG Pianobar Acoustic Piano Bar Midi Conversion SN 0009 and 00032

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

via this auction

The piano bar rests on your piano and turns it into a MIDI controller. This brings back memories. Before the Minimoog Voyager, Moog made the Pianobar alongside the first Moogerfoogers. I know the very first Moogerfoogers were by Big Briar, Bob Moog's company before he attained the Moog company name again, but I forget if the Pianobar was first released under Big Briar. The Big Briar theremin of course came out first.  It's interesting.  Bob Moog started with the theremin, sold the Moog brand and then went back to making theremins under the new Big Briar company name only to come back to synthesizers with the Moog brand.

"Modular SK-1 modification with custom paint by Diabolical Devices. This thing is nuts! There is an endless variety if glitches and unique synth sounds. Modifications include (from left to right)

(24) point ROM bending patch-bay. This patch bay will generate tons of playable bends, bizarre sounds, and messed up beats. The 1/8" jacks are backlit with multicolored LEDs which react and change based on What you are playing.

Assignable switches: there are (4) patchable toggle switch and (2) patchable momentary toggle switches.

3- stage square wave synth: this will work as a stand Synth with 1/4" output, the output can be patched to rom points an will cause various reactions and bends, (1/8" jack below patchable switch is also output of synth) or it can be used to modulate the pith control for the SK-1.

Mater Pitch control affects all sounds, it features a bypass switch and status LED.

Sampling input has been moved to the panel. Sampling the square wave synth makes for a lot if fun...
Below sampling input is main power switch an power LED.

Midi: MIDI input will trigger any if the keys on the SK-1 and has MIDI CH selector switches capable of any channel 1-16.

Main Audio Output: This 1/4" jack is the main output for the Casio SK-1. The Original speaker is still installed and working, when this 1/4" out is used the speaker is automatically disconnected.
Below this the DC power Jack has been relocate to panel.

The Last few pics are of the ROM reactive LED backlight. It is a lot of fun to watch.

It's just been serviced, calibrated and PAT-tested by James Walker at Synth Repair Services - so is working flawlessly.
