Some Subdivisions on an Oberheim OB-X8!

video upload by Ryan Javens

"A friend of mine let me try out his Oberheim OB-X8 and captured this video of me playing some Subdivisions. Please excuse the sloppy playing, I was just having fun! This synth sounds absolutely massive and I hope to own one someday. The Signals album in particular really made me fall in love with the Oberheim sound. I know it buries the guitars in the mix a bit too much for some, but I'm ok with it 😂."

Runner from Mehr Music Machines (west-coast sequencing)

video upload by NOISEBUG

"Mehr Music Machines - Runner is a sleek looking west coast sequencer that super playable and equally fun when patched as a control surface or utilitarian voltage present manager. Runner features three rows of five stages (steps) and can be clocked forwards and backwards at the same time. Each stage has a dedicated button that will force the sequence to a given stage, ignoring clock advances for the duration of the button press. With no clock the buttons will let you to play the module like a mini keyboard. This can also be performed via external gates utilizing the five gate inputs for direct step-address variations . Furthermore there are dedicated outputs for all gates generated via panel buttons, and another output for triggers. Trigger outputs (when the sequence is moving) there are no menus or shift buttons, runner is 100% analog.

Patch ideas not shown in this video:

Clock runner at audio rates for wild wave shaping
Reserve one of the rows for your VCA, create dynamic patterns.
Extend sequence length with a sequential switch

Runner is 22HP and currently available at Noisebug."

via Noisebug

"Inspired by the West Coast modular synth pioneers, this 100% analog CV and Gate sequencer will remind you what makes modular synthesis so special. No nonsense, no menus, no shift function, just voltage

Runner features the following:

100% analog signal path
Five voltage stages for each of the three rows [three voltage outputs]
Two clock inputs for forward and backward sequencing [both can be used at the same time]

Manual stage gate button [can be played as a "keyboard" or preset manager]
Global gate output [outputs a gate at every new stage progression]
Stage gate inputs [send a gate to any stage gate input, and the sequencer will hold that stage's position for the duration of the gate]
Row of red LEDs to track the sequencer's position

Great for pitch sequencing, CV sequencing or use as a keybaord/preset manager"

Demo video upload by boogdish

"New DIY Synth module. A graphic envelope generator. PCB/Panel/Microcontrollers are available on my site and a PDF with schematics/parts list etc https://www.bartonmusicalcircuits.com..."

A fun, tactile way of controlling modules. Compatible with 12V or 15V systems. Jacks are wired offboard, but all toggles and pots are mounted to the PCB. This design requires a slide pot from the Bourns PTL30 series, check for availibity before ordering."

Hands on with Groc: Layers, Effects, Time path

video upload by oddment audio

"I received some new samples from a fantastic musician/producer. This was was good motivation to make an example using multiple layers. In this one I take a beat, mess with a bunch of parameters to create effects and store the patch. Then I create a second patch on layer two where I use Groc's time path envelope to move through the first few notes of the sample before sustaining. Again mess with some stuff, the re-start the beat on layer one to hear the two together. Enjoy!"

The Bob Moog Foundation Raffles Minimoog Signed by Peter Gabriel

via The Bob Moog Foundation

The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce its fall fundraising raffle for a fully restored vintage Minimoog signed by legendary musician Peter Gabriel. The raffle runs from October 7, 2024 at 7 am (EST) to October 28, 2024 at 11:59 pm (EST).

Tickets are $25 each, five for $100, 12 for $200 or 35 for $500.
All proceeds benefit the important work of the Bob Moog Foundation.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left the Moogseum shuttered for the foreseeable future, the support from the raffle is more important than ever.
Please consider purchasing a bundle of tickets.

The Minimoog being raffled is serial number 8538, created in Moog Music’s Williamsville factory in the mid-1970s. The Minimoog was fully restored by the lauded Kent Spong Restorations, whose three decades of synthesizer restoration has included work for Hans Zimmer, Vangelis, and hundreds of others. It is in excellent technical and physical condition.

Read more and purchase tickets HERE.

On the back of the Minimoog, Gabriel has inscribed:

“To the Bob Moog Foundation. Hello. Love, Peter Gabriel, 04-09-2024”

It sounds a bit cr@p...BUT... // Alesis HR-16

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I've heard so many good things about the ALESIS HR16 I thought I'd revisit it and got my hands on this one from Perfect Circuit's used section on their website. I gave it a good go, but it's hard to use in a mix. Something like the Roland TR626 (I'd put it in a similar bracket) can fit in a mix easily and the sounds can sit there pretty much in their own right, unprocessed and sound like a finished track. With the Alesis HR-16, not so much.

I find most of the sounds too realistic, which I realise sounds an odd thing to say - but in most finished tracks the drums don't sound like they do in a rehearsal room or when sound checking. The sounds on the HR16 seem to need a lot more attention which defeats one of the joys of using a drum machine."

Patching on the Kodamo Mask1 Bitmask Synthesizer: three patches from init #kodamo #synth

At one point I get up into the higher masks, which get a bit trickier to use."
