Winter 2024 Fundraising Raffle: One-of-a-Kind $20,000 Eurorack Synthesizer

We are excited to announce our final fundraising raffle of 2024 featuring a one-of-a-kind Eurorack synthesizer comprised of 52 modules from over 30 Eurorack manufacturers located in 10 different countries. The system, curated by modular synthesis educator Chris Meyer, was inspired by Bob Moog's legendary Moog modular synthesizers in mind. It has a retail value of $20,000.

The system features:

3 Analog Oscillators | 2 Digital Oscillators | 8 Filters | 3 Percussion Voices | Spring Reverb | Analog Phase Shifter | Vocoder/Filter Bank | Frequency Shifter | Digital Multi-Effects | Moog-style Analog Sequencers | Wood Encased Keyboard with MIDI Interface and Arpeggiator | Custom Black American Walnut Cabinet with Chromaesthetic Lighting |

All modules and other components were donated by the manufacturer to make this raffle possible.

Tickets for the raffle are $20 each, 6 for $100, 14 for $200, and 40 for $500

The raffle ends on Friday, December 20th, and is open internationally.

Proceeds from the raffle benefit our important work in science education, archive preservation, and the operation of the Moogseum in downtown Asheville, NC. The Moogseum continues to be challenged by the long-term financial effects of Hurricane Helene, making this year-end fundraiser critically important.

The Art of Merging African Polyrhythms with Futuristic Sound Design | Hydrasynth | Machinedrum

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the Elektron Machinedrum and Analog Heat +FX, crafting some truly otherworldly rhythms for an upcoming Frequenseers scene.

The focus? Merging African polyrhythms with futuristic sound design. I’m layering ancient rhythmic traditions—syncopation, call-and-response, and cyclical grooves, then pushing them through modern bit-crushing distortion, harmonic saturation, and dynamic filtering.

The result? A sonic journey that bridges the ancient and the modern, weaving the pulse of ancestral drums into an Afrofuturistic soundscape. These rhythms don’t just move the body, they resonate with the soul, telling stories of a timeless connection between rhythm and evolution.

The Frequenseers live in a world where time is fluid, where tradition meets innovation. Through sound, I’m exploring how these hybrid beings communicate—vibrations that are equal parts history and prophecy.

"The MCO (mk II) is a highly versatile digital VCO and voice module inspired by 90s/00s digital synths shrunk into just 6HP. Here we take a look at its features using the DigiWave wavetable oscillator voice. The MCO is in stock and available now from all ALM stockists worldwide!

The MCO offers a broad collection of unique, high-quality synth voices, each with extensive, customizable parameters. These parameters can be directly controlled or modulated through assignable internal and external sources. Certain per-voice parameters support audio-rate modulation, including FM, sync, and DSP. Each voice also supports up to four-voice chords, external-triggered envelopes, multiple LFOs, and dual audio outputs for comprehensive desktop like synth functionality.

Voices include a multi dimensional wavetable oscillator based on the original MCO, a complex additive synthesis engine, a multi mode ’JP’ type digi-synth with super saws and more, a fully featured vocoder, a lush virtual analog implementation, a bass synth for both kicks and sub sonic tones and finally a rebirth and porting of our discontinued SID GUTs chip voice.

The MCO is designed to be familiar, quick and easy to use with a high resolution colour display and a rich visual user interface."

Nonlinearcircuits MACRAME | LOGORRHEA | VCF 1

video upload by cirtcele

"Macrame is a 6 channel mixer with voltage controlled level and panning. It uses two SSI2190 chips to do all the work.

You can use the SET pots to operate the level and pan manually, or use CV to get things moving around and up and down.

It has two synth level outputs, two line level ¼” jack outputs and a stereo line output (which works fine with most headphones too).

For some reason, probably because I was slightly askew on post-op painkillers when designing this, the panel is 21HP. I guess this means I need to release more odd HP modules to avoid gaps in cases."


LOGORRHEA

video upload by cirtcele

"Logorrhea is kind of a vocal filter; basically it is the back half of a vocoder crammed into 8HP. There are two inputs, 10 filter channels, a white noise channel and a thru channel, to feed thru the original signal(s). It uses two SSI2190 chips to do all the work.

There are no knobs.

To use, patch in one or two audio signals. Ones with lots of harmonics sound best, pulses, squares or wave-folder outputs, not sinewaves.

Patch in a bunch of CVs to set up your sounds, it expects 0-5V CV signals.

OUT is all channels mixed together.

OUT A is thru, LP (low pass), BP2, BP4, BP6 and BP8 (BP = bandpass).

OUT B is noise, BP1, BP3, BP5, BP7 and HP (high pass).

Using OUT A and OUT B in a stereo mixer (such as NLC Macramé) is nice with panning to move the sounds around."


FAST AND BULBOUS VCF
video upload by cirtcele

"This module uses the SSI2140 chip which is based on the SSM2040 VCF, tho with a few updates.

My first thought when I read the datasheets was that it would be great to design a module that could switch between a phaser and a VCF. Looking back at old SSM2040 designs, it seems most of the usual suspects (T. Henry, J. Blacet, C. Anderton et al) had much the same idea.

This module is based on Anderton’s design in Device 1-6 (yes, I spotted the error) with modifications to suit the SSI2140 and Eurorack.

There are 4 switches, one for each OTA stage, to select between (all pass (phaser) and low pass filter mode. You can have quite a lot of fun with 2-3 switches in one mode and 1-2 in the other.

There is a dry mix pot to mix the incoming signals into the OUT signal, which is taken from the 4th OTA stage. This is probably more commonly used in Phaser mode, but there are no rules, so do whatever you like.

POLES is a weighted mix of the outputs of each pole, it is a bit shy when all switches are turned to Low Pass but perks up very nicely when one or more switches turned to Phaser.

The SSI chip is a bit tight to solder, have your bottle of flux ready, otherwise it is a pretty easy build."

ORBITAL RECON STATION DELTA / large spaceship ambience & distant voices / binaural delta wave

video upload by BRiES

"The ORS Delta has been orbiting this moon for weeks now. The ship's bending and twisting due to the tidal pull of the nearby gas giant. It's designed to withstand these conditions but still... the constant creaking sends shivers down my spine. Micro-meteorites are hitting the hull relentlessly. It's weird to find so many of them close to a moon. I guess there's rings around this planet? With the outdoor sensors being offline it's hard to tell really. Air-conditioning and heating systems seem to be fully operational. There's people on board somewhere but I can't seem to locate them. Where's this music coming from?

Headphones are required for the full experience.

There's a bit of information about this patch in this video (somewhere):"

"I just received the LIVEN Ambient Ø from Sonicware, and tested it with an improvised track.

The synth separates into 4 distinct tracks: I've sequenced the Drone and Pad layers, and play with the Atmos and Noise. I've deliberately chosen to play with low and medium frequencies to make it a melodic track, but less atmospheric than my usual sounds."
