Synth Rorschach #59: Scanimate: The Origins of Computer Motion Graphics
Scanimate: The Origins of Computer Motion Graphics from LinkedIn Learning on Vimeo.
This one is for the video synthesis fans out there. As for the Synth Rorschach, see what specific synths you are reminded of watching this one. This one is in via Soviet Space Child.
"Digital artists have been trying to replicate the ephemeral quality of graphics from the 70s and 80s for years. But nothing comes close to the real (analog) thing. Get to know the first computer used for motion graphics and animation, Scanimate, and the men who've kept the machine alive for the last four decades. In this short documentary, Nick Campbell of Greyscalegorilla talks to Roy Weinstock, one of the original Scanimate animators, and Dave Sieg, the engineer who has kept it running all these years. Find out how this system of "tubes and 2x4s" became the predecessor of many modern motion graphics plugins and controls, and how the unusual collaboration between operators and engineers led to some of the most iconic motion graphics of the 1980s—including spots for Super Bowl VIII, Star Wars, and children's shows like The Electric Company and Sesame Street."

"Built into an old plastic alarm clock enclosure from the 80s!
It has four switchable "octaves" for maximum versatility. The synth can be switched on or played via the momentary arcade-style button on the top. Hours of fun! Hook it up to a bunch of effects for even more fun ;)
Made with top-quality parts, has fancy aluminum knobs! Runs on a standard 9VDC center negative power supply (i.e. One Spot®).
Controls are: Pitch, Volume, Octave Switcher, Momentary Play Button, Synth On/Off, Power On/Off. Has a 1/4" TS Mono Output jack."

YAMAHA G10 GUITAR SYNTH FROM THE ALLAN HOLDSWORTH STUDIO COLLECTION
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This auction is for 2 x Yamaha G10 Guitar Synths. One is marked "spares" and I believe the other to be in usable shape but no guarantees. Allan had 4 of these and this is the one he kept so make of that what you will."
via Wikipedia: "Allan Holdsworth (6 August 1946 – 15 April 2017)[1] was a British guitarist and composer. He released twelve studio albums as a solo artist and played a variety of musical styles in a career spanning more than four decades, but is best known for his work in jazz fusion.
Holdsworth was known for his advanced knowledge of music, through which he incorporated a vast array of complex chord progressions and intricate solos; the latter comprising myriad scale forms often derived from those such as the diminished, augmented, whole tone, chromatic and altered scales, among others, resulting in an unpredictable and "outside" sound. His unique legato soloing technique stemmed from his original desire to play the saxophone. Unable to afford one, he strove to use the guitar to create similarly smooth lines of notes. He also became associated with playing an early form of guitar synthesizer called the SynthAxe, a company he endorsed in the 1980s.
Holdsworth was cited as an influence by a host of rock, metal and jazz guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen,[2] Joe Satriani,[3] Greg Howe,[4] Shawn Lane,[5] Richie Kotzen,[6] John Petrucci,[7] Alex Lifeson,[8] Kurt Rosenwinkel,[9] Yngwie Malmsteen,[10] Michael Romeo,[11] Ty Tabor,[12] and Tom Morello.[13] Frank Zappa once lauded him as "one of the most interesting guys on guitar on the planet",[14] while Robben Ford has said: "I think Allan Holdsworth is the John Coltrane of the guitar. I don't think anyone can do as much with the guitar as Allan Holdsworth can."[15]"

Great Sound Cheap Price! AE Modular from Tangible Waves // Superbooth 2019
Published on May 19, 2019 DivKidVideo
"Throughout Superbooth 2019 I heard a wide range of great sounds from the AE Modular system on the Tangible Waves booth. AE Modular is a bespoke modular format 10cm tall, with sheet MDF panels, hand printing and a range of classic bread and butter analogue, some upcoming Mutable Instruments modules in the format, the new Solina, FX and more. Modules range from around €21 to €95 a piece. Very interesting and I'm curious to hopefully try it out for myself in the future."

Podcast 277: Wes Milholen (Grayscale)
Published on May 19, 2019 20Objects
"I've known Wes Milholen for a while - I first met him as he was working on some of his first replacement faceplates. He was part of the Denver/Boulder modular scene, and we spent time at meetups and performances. I always found his crisp and clean designs to my liking, and found him to be a thoughtful developer and talented performer.
He's gone on to do a lot more stuff: module development, more panel designs, and even design work for VCV rack. As you'll hear in this interview, he views design work to be his calling, and it shows in everything that he touches.
We had a great talk - some reminiscing, some product history talk, and a lot of discussion about the world of modular synthesis. Wes has his finger on the pulse of that world, and has some good insight on where things came from and where they are going.
Check out his work at https://grayscale.info/, https://1979.ws/ and https://vcvrack.com/. He's also hanging around mose social media sites and Muffwiggler's forum."

Moog Prodigy 336A Analog Synth - Upgraded CV SN 9893
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This classic analog bass beast Moog Prodigy is in good working condition, looks great as well. We bought this a couple years ago for our studio. It has served up some of the biggest basses and leads on many studio sessions.
This is the rare Model 336A with CV I/O added so that you can sequence / control it with any CV related gear... we did so with amazing results.
The previous owner added 3 more CV jacks on the back (not sure what those are for... we never needed to use them) and also changed the S Trig proprietary jack for a typical 1/4 jack.. way easier to use.
All the knobs were upgraded to a very cool black /silver knob instead of the generic original black knobs."

"The Mono/Poly is a vintage classic that doesn't come around very often, in excellent condition with MIDI.
Works perfectly, no scratchy pots. Zero issues.
Midi mod is by Tubbutec. It's a retro fit so non destructive. I'm including the original processor in case you wanna put it back to stock. Also, I didn't drill out holes for the midi as I didn't wanna mess up the original case. The midi ribbon cable is run through the side in back as shown in picture. Can easily be reverted to stock non-destructive.
Wood sides have very minimal wear as seen in pics."

Moog Memorymoog LAMM Upgraded
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Upgrade was done by Rudi Linhard in 2012, after 1 year of waitinglist time. It works perfectly and comes with Memorymoog Hardcase and custom Faux Leather Cover for the Studio. It was only in my Studio and never on Stage. Now if you never heard of a LAMM Memorymoog before: This is not really comparable with a new Moog One, the LAMM (Lintronics Advanced MemoryMoog) has got all the Fatness, because it IS the Original Synth from 1982, upgraded by the Moogman himself, Rudi Linhard. Rudi has worked many years side by side with Bob Moog and was for example one of the main developers of the Moog Voyager. This Memo has been disassembled completely from A to Z and every little Part that wasn't 100% correct was replaced, so the Synth will last for another 30 Years. The LAMM Upgrade has many completely new Features, like total MIDI Control over the Parameters and Stereo Output, Spread from low to high Keys. This makes the originally already Fat Synth an absolute God after the Upgrade. It always blew me away, when i was editing another Sound. I kept on sticking to Guitar, thats why i sell this sexy Beast that wants to be played a lot. For all the Details from the LAMM Upgrade, please check Lintronics. Purple LED's."

2 x KORG minilogue xd module - 8-voice polyphony in poly chain mode!
Published on May 19, 2019 iamtheswordmaster1
"I had a chance to get my hands on two minilogue xd modules, so I figured, you guys might want to hear some 8-voice polyphonic stuff using the new poly chain mode of the xd line.
In this setup, the minilogue xd module on the right is the MASTER while the unit on the left is the SLAVE. I'm using the KRONOS to send MIDI notes to the MASTER module (a bit of an overkill, since any MIDI keyboard could do this job).
I was literally blown away of the huge sound with 8 voices, so I couldn't resist to create some custom patches for your listening pleasure. ;)
Everything you hear is the two minilogue xd(s). The effects on this machines sound amazing and really great for sound design. A couple of patches use some custom oscillators as well."
