1969 Moog IIIP Vintage Modular Synthesizer For Sale or NYC Studio Use


video upload by tonetweakers



"The Moog modular was one of the first commercially available synthesizers. Sold in different configurations, the Moog IIIP consisted of 3 portable cabinets. Containing ten (!) 901 series oscillators, the best lowpass and highpass filters in the biz, and a magical spring reverb that makes things sound more organic, we can't think of any other synth that matches the warmth and fatness of this genuine 1969 vintage Moog modular. Wendy Carlos’s classic album Switched on Bach and I Feel Love by Donna Summer were recorded on similar Moog modular systems. We just finished refurbishing this gorgeous example (assuming we don’t find any problems as we continue to test it). Restoration was done in stages and took many months to complete. Total tech time spent was around 85 hours. We hit a snag when some parts we ordered turned out to be fakes - a sadly common occurrence these days - but we eventually managed to track down some legit replacements. We originally planned to sell this system, but after spending some time patching it, we don’t know if we can let this one go! If this system was set up in a commercial studio here in New York City where it was available for use, would you be interested? If so, please email us. Or, make us a serious offer and if it's tempting enough, maybe we'll sell it. We'd also consider trades for similar vintage modular systems (Roland System 700, Buchla 200, Polyfusion, Emu Modular, ARP 2500, etc). We have a smaller (single cabinet) real vintage Moog Model 15 that's ready for sale.

We buy sell trade refurbish vintage synths and electronic musical instruments.

Synthetic Sound Labs Releases Model 1015 Lowpass Gate Module in MU Format



Synthetic Sound Labs has just released its new 1 MU width 1015 Lowpass Gate module.

The SSL 1015 Lowpass Gate is a modern "Vactrol" VCA / VCF module inspired by Don Buchla's original 292C. Depending on the selected mode, a lowpass gate can act as a VCA, 2-pole lowpass filter, or VCA/VCF combination which is well known for creating organic plucky sounds. When in filter mode, the 1015 adds a unique resonance feedback which allows a variety of controlled percussive sounds and wild oscillations.

Previous lowpass gate designs used cadmium-sulfide photocells (CdS) which are currently banned in the EU and possibly several other nations. The SSL 1015 may be one of the first to utilize a Vactrol design that replaces the CdS photocells with a newer technology - helping protect our environment and is therefore welcomed Worldwide.

An option for the CdS version is available at additional charge by direct factory request for USA based shipments only.

SSL uses quality fiberglass-epoxy printed circuit boards, precision automated robotics and meticulous hand-crafted assembly assure years of trouble-free service.

Synthetic Sound Labs has been in the analog synthesizer business since 1973. The 1015 is yet another in SSL’s growing line of new synthesizer modules. Proudly made in the USA.

Pricing is $275 US - available directly from SSL and through distributors worldwide.

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

5/11/25 Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence (modules listed in description)


video upload by Cfpp0

"5/11/25 (Slope generator and sub oscillator sequence) SSL 1240 + LWSS CGS01 + Synthesizers.com Q123 & Q125 + muSonics Attenuators & Multiples & Wave Folder + Happy Nerding FM AID + Zerosum Inertia The Scorpion Tail + Blue Lantern Mixer + Alesis MIDIVERB II + ElectroComp EML 200

I spliced two takes one after the other. In the first, the 440 Hz tone from the Synthesizers.com Q123 Standards module, gated by the Blue Lantern mixer, is the constant bell-ish sound panned left. Throughout the whole video I am selecting divide or multiply on the Lower West Side Studios CGS01 Sub Oscillator, which varies the sequence. The Synthetic Sound Labs Dual Slope Generator bipolar output to CGS01 input A. CGS01 output A to .com Q123 to muSonics Multiples to Free State FX Macro Digital Oscillator V/OCT input and to Happy Nerding FM Aid CV input and to .com Q125, with Q125 output to muSonics Wave Folder CV input. Macro output to FM Aid carrier input. Macro sine out to muSonics Wave Folder to Multiples to Zerosum Inertia Scorpion Tail audio in and to Blue Lantern Mixer input 4, with spectral wave folder switched on, triggered by SSL 1240 fall gate out. CGS01 output B to CV in on Scorpion Tail. FM Aid saw out to Mackie Onyx 1640, panned right, with reverb from Alesis MIDIVERB II. Blue Lantern mixer VCA output to Mackie, panned left, with MIDIVERB II. Zerosum Inertia output panned center, dry. The drone is four VCOs on two EML 200, with internal spring reverb, modulated by their master sine waves."

Vanilla Synth by muSonics – Boutique Analog Beauty at Superbooth 2025


video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare

"At Superbooth 2025, I had one of those “stop in your tracks” moments when I stumbled across muSonics' Vanilla Synthesizer — and luckily, got to hang out with the incredibly thoughtful creator, Amos, who walked me through the philosophy and craftsmanship behind this stunning instrument.

The Vanilla Synthesizer is a 5U modular analog synth, but don’t let the minimalist look fool you — under the hood, this thing is loaded with sonic personality and beautifully engineered references to vintage legends:

🎛️ The filter takes inspiration from the SEM/Oberheim lineage, offering that sweet, musical, slightly gritty character that feels alive at every knob turn.

🎚️ The mixer section is modeled after a vintage Moog CP3, giving your waveforms a subtle analog saturation that glues sounds together in a way no plugin can touch.

🔁 Normalized patching means you can play without any cables, but every section can still be overridden, so it's flexible for both beginners and modular veterans.

🌰 All of this is housed in a gorgeous solid walnut enclosure, handcrafted and finished in Illinois — it’s a tactile joy that looks like a piece of mid-century art as much as a synth.

What struck me most wasn’t just how good it sounds — which it does — but how thoughtful the whole instrument feels. It’s clear that Amos isn’t just an engineer, but a true musician and synth lover who’s building tools meant to inspire.

This isn’t mass-market gear. It’s boutique, handcrafted, analog music woodwork. And if you’ve ever wanted a synth that feels like an heirloom, this is it."

April 30th 2025 Patch Variation #2


video upload by John L Rice

"Just exploring the patch as one tends to do. Here I’m using a second Moon Modular 569 sequencer to control the first one instead of the sequential switch I used in the previous video [posted here]. The result was simpler but still interesting to me. I also changed up the synth voice a bit, using a MegaOhm LPG instead of the SSL tube VCA and processing its output with an Oakley/Krisp1 Flanger."

Using Moon Modular Sequential Divider Switches To Control Sequencer Step Position


video upload by John L Rice

"I’ve long loved the Moon Modular 564 Sequential Switch (directly inspired by the PPG 313) and love the Moon 569 sequencer as well, but I’ve often wished that the 569 somehow had an additional row of switches that could be used to set how many clock pulses a step would stay on each position like the 564 does. This is my attempt to use two 564 switches with the 569 to make it happen, with some limitations. Of course using an external voltage controlled clock to drive the sequencer with one of the sequencer rows controlling the clock can achieve similar results, but that sort of patch isn’t as predictably playable."

The Seventh of Four


video upload by davidryle

"A new project idea to use the synthesizers.com Q170 MIDI GATES module to affect broad changes to the composition within the modular system.

The Q170 has eight output jacks for sending 5V gate or trigger voltages to the modular system. I used my DAW (Cubase) to construct timings for various parts of the modular.

The first four outs were used as pulse gates for the Delptronics and TipTop drum modules. The Kick, Snare and Open and Closed HiHats.
The fifth out is to the Q169 vco's AMP input. That vco is used for the bass line so controlling the on-board vca will mute or enable the voice.
The sixth out was to enable the Dove D900 sequencer to run/stop. The sequencer is feeding pitch voltage to the Synthetic Sound Labs Woven Spirits (MI Plaits). This is the chord pad sound. I used the DAW to pulse the gate info when I wanted the sequencer to reset at certain parts.
The seventh out was to send a continuous gate to the STG Soundlabs Time Buffer. The Time Buffer is receiving a sync-bus 24 ppq clock and run signal. I have a panel access to these with jack inputs so I sent the 5V gate to the RUN input. This allowed me to use this to start and stop all sequencer motion from the DAW.
The eighth out is to a Lower West Side Studios triple switch. This switch is used to add an offset voltage to the Woven Spirits Harmonic control.
The other fun part was playing the LWSS triple attenuator. I had three parts run through the module. The pair of STG VMS sequences were percussive background parts switched in and out as needed. The third part was a pulse version of the pad sound.

The Matrix duet in the mid section was clocked from the STG Time Divider module. Both Matrix were set with very closely aligned slider settings but the "Z" sliders were offset for variety. They sent pitch voltage to the TZ-VCO's from SSL. The duet were sent through the STG Post Lawsuit Filter and an Empress reverb/delay pedal.

Other outboard effects were the Meris Hedra for the bass line and the EMX Grand Canyon for the steady pad sound."
