Update via Steven Cain in the comments:
"It is actually based off of the MaxiKorg K3 (800DV) from the era. From the same lines as the 700, 700S and 770, the 800DV had an architecture more closely resembling this than any of the other 3 models, mainly in that the controls were set on a faceplate instead of in an organ topping design as the 700 & 700S were. The sliders and switches are the exact same as the 800DV, and if my guess is correct (I have unfortunatly not had the pleasure of playing one) it is in the deep 64' waveform the 800DV offered, a truly floor rattling range, far beyong the standard 32' offered on most synths since."
Original auction description:
"The Sound.
This thing is unbelievably fat. It's a one-oscillator monosynth, but they really do not make them like they used to. It has a smooth but slightly gritty sound all of its own. It does not sound like the syruppy-sweet Roland synths of the same era, and it also does not sound like the MS-20 and other MS-series synths that KORG released starting in 1978. The filter is most likely based either on the MiniKorg 700 or the 770 from the same era. There are five selectable waveforms: Triangle, Square, Saw, Pulse and "Phaser". All of them sound organic, alive and FAT. The Triangle wave seems to have some kind of attack transient at the beginning that gives it a girthy bass kick kind of sound. I suspect the "Phaser" form is either PWM or something similar. How it is achieved is beyond me. I have gigged with it live and it sits very nicely at the bottom of a mix. This thing just oozes power. Additionally, even though the keyboard is only 25 keys (two octaves), the user can select three different octave ranges, extending the full range to five octaves. In the higher range, even though it is a "bass" synth, it gives you a great seventies style prog lead--instant Keith Emerson, should you need it. It can everything from singing lead lines to fat bass plucks to duck farts.
Features.
This is an idiotically simple synth to use (I mean that in the best way possible). There are no modulation routings, no LFO, minimal envelope control. However, the simplicity is actually a strength. There is no setting that sounds bad. The designers really tuned it right--it's one big sweet spot. There is a "Brightness" switch (Resonance) which is either on or off. There is a full "Traveler" (filter cutoff) slider that is usable enough. No mod wheel here, but a couple pitch up and down buttons. It fits in a suitcase style tolex case and it just looks hip. I loved bringing this thing to performances and opening it up and sticking it on a stand. Though envelope controls are few, there is enough control to shape healthy bass sounds.
Additionally, if you are interested in a MIDI retrofit, there is already a place for a 5-pin MIDI socket. As this was created years before MIDI, you might wonder why. It seems that there may have been a plan for a DIN socket for some type of control, so they punched the hole in the housing of these models but then never used it. It is located right beside the power switch.
Condition.
As should be evident from the pictures, the whole tolex case is intact. It features the letters "TGHS" on the front in white. This is most likely from a high school band, and I do not know the origin. Functionally, it is in 100% working order, which still amazes me sometimes as it is 40 years old."

Future Retro Introduces the 512 Touch Keyboard Playing the Arp 2600 & Buchla Music Easel
Future Retro 512 Touch Keyboard Playing the Arp 2600

Future Retro 512 touch keyboard playing Buchla Music Easel:
Published on Jun 2, 2016
"Simple demo of the Future Retro 512 keyboard controlling the Buchla Easel. The 512 has an adjustable CV output so you can achieve .469V to 1.34V per octave control voltages to control a wide variety of synths including the common 1V/Oct synthesizers, and this 1.2V/Oct Buchla. Works with EML and EMS synthesizers too!"
New demos here: Future Retro 512 touch keyboard plays the EMS Putney, Minimoog Model D, EML 101, & Eurorack
Previous posts featured the assembly of the new 512 Touch Keyboard from Future Retro. We now have details and what it looks like completed.
Details via Future Retro
"The 512 is a capacitive touch keyboard, packed with a unique blend of truly musical features to enhance your creative experience. The 512 is available with or without the optional rack ears that allow it to fit in a standard 19" rack enclosure, taking up only 4u spaces.
Why is capacitive touch better? Quite simply, eliminating mechanical moving parts found in traditional keyboards makes a product that will never wear out, as mechanical keyboards do. No more intermittent key contacts, or failed aftertouch circuits to worry about! In addition, capacitive touch provides a much faster response time for playing notes, and allows multiple forms of expression to be executed by the performer.
There are five main functions of the 512. It can act as a keyboard, arpeggiator, sequencer, MIDI to CV converter, and MIDI to MIDI converter. The 512 can control both MIDI and CV/Gate synthesizers simultaneously. Pitch, Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Gate, Velocity, Aftertouch, and Clock are all available in both their MIDI and CV form. CV's follow the 1V/Oct standard with positive polarity Gate signals, allowing the 512 to control the majority of analog synthesizers both past and present.
KEYBOARD
The 512 provides 9 octave ranges for the 29 full-sized keys (although shorter in length than typical keys) with response to Velocity and Aftertouch. Users can define one of five different Velocity and Aftertouch curves to apply to the keyboard, and dial in the range for each curve to customize the response. The Pitch Bend provides positive and negative pitch bends, and the bend range can be adjusted for full or half range. Mod Wheel is also provided as a modulation source.

"This jam uses all internal sequencing. The Korg Volca Bass, Korg Volca Keys, Arturia Microbrute and Teenage Engineering PO-12 are all on sequencer duty. The Arturia Microbrute supplies a simple low end bass line while the Korg Volca Keys handles the lead synth sequence. The Korg Volca Bass supplies a short bass fade out sequence & Teenage Engineering PO-12 plays a 4 bar loop using 4 patterns in chain mode. The Microkorg and Roland Boutique JU-06 are played live. The Alesis QX49 controls the Roland Boutique JU-06 via midi. All this is recorded into Ableton which is used as a multi track recorder/mixer. Waves Supertap 6 is used for Delay. Enjoy !!

Ripcord - The Plug 'n Play Anywhere USB Power Cable Seeks Funding on Kickstarter
Update: Ripcord is funded!
This one in via MATRIXSYNTH Member, Caroline who is working on Ripcord:
"Ripcord, the 5V to 9V USB cable, works with synths like the Korg Volca, is 78% funded in Kickstarter with 2 days to go
If you haven't seen Ripcord yet have a look at http://kck.st/25CeE4W - it's for powering gear that needs voltages other than 5V from a USB port.
The small-batch version is in use by thousands of musicians all over the world right now, but we've redesigned it from the ground up, with more power and better features..
Gaz Williams and Nick Batt from Sonic State talked about it in their latest Volca Vibes video.

'Silvered Stomp' by Robots Against Children
Hi all,
So, I've come to realize something. I tend to get bored very easily using the same gear so I'm constantly pulling things off the shelves and putting them together in new configurations. I'm fortunate because I have enough gear to do that and it helps to keep me learning and engaged but it is probably not always the best thing to keep me getting better.
I've noticed that every time I put a brand new set up together, my first go with it is generally a little rough around the edges. It seems it takes me a while, through working several different tracks on the same set up, before I can really dial in the sound and music.
This track is a first go. More or less, just a "rough and tumble" acid techno workout to start dialing things in with this rig. There are things I certainly like about it but I can concede to myself that I have room to grow here. Regardless, I hope it is enjoyed. Hope you all are well."

New, Historical Bob Moog Timeline Features Rare Archival Material & Getting Geeky: Synthesizers and Brainwaves
via The Bob Moog Foundation:
"We are proud to announce the release of a new, historical Bob Moog timeline, which traces the historical evolution of Bob's professional path. With nearly 100 different posts, the timeline reveals brand new archival material, including some never before seen family photos, documents, and letters, as well as many points in Moog history that are little known.
This is the most comprehensive timeline on Bob Moog that you will find online.
Check out the timeline here.
All of the historical images on the timeline can be expanded for better viewing, and many of the posts have expandable text for those seeking a deeper understanding of Bob Moog's history.
We will continue to add to the timeline periodically. Be sure to check back and see what's new!
We have labored over this timeline, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Let us know what you think by emailing us at info@moogfoundation.org."
"Moog modular historian Thom Holmes returns with an examination of Richard Teitelbaum, who made the earliest and boldest use of the Moog in improvisational music, and was co-founder of the free improvisation ensemble Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV). Teitelbaum befriended Bob Moog and asked him to find a way to amplify sub-audio brainwaves to use as control voltages with the Moog synthesizer.

5U // Corsynth - C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier
Published on Jun 2, 2016 DiscoverNoise

5U 011-
Here is the demo of the Corsynth C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier in 5U (MU). A lovely module to get some bangs into your modular sound. Shown here are all inputs and probably most of the combinations of multiply and divide. Tested was this module with a sine, saw and square wave coming from the CotK C921B (see my demo *cough*).

Roland MC-202 Sequencing (With Elements & DPO)
Published on Jun 2, 2016 11brassmonkey11
"I was kindly lent a Roland MC-202 for the week and I finally got some time to work out how this thing operates!
Here is me working out how to input a couple of basic riffs and sequencing some external euro rack gear (notably the Make Noise DPO and Mutable Instruments Elements).
It's a quirky little thing with that classic Roland sound. Although sequencing this is at times very frustrating, the 202 really excels at putting odd rhythmic ideas and what not (not demonstrated here)"

"a live improvisation using a home made axoloti synth and a controller keyboard. The patches consists of 8 short mono midi sequencers, each with it's own sound."
Always get a kick out of people playing synths in the forest. One of the harmonica sounding background synth lines that weaves in and out (6:47) reminds me of COIL's The Snow Ep. Listen below at 1:00. Love that sound.
