As Promised, here is the "extended cut" of my RA Moog IIIP (1969). I go through the overall layout of the system, a brief history on Moog portable cabinets, a demonstration of the different modules, and finally a few sound examples. I will admit, time gets lost when not following a script, so the chapters keep things moving along :). Thanks for the all the views, comments, likes etc .. I really appreciate it!!

Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see lots of photos of synths and recording stuff!!

Knif BBD In Session

video upload by GSF AGENCY

"Thanks Pete Min @lucysmeatmarket

A stereophonic, analog bucket-brigade tube delay with a fully analog signal chain and clock generation.

1200 ms of delay.
Four NOS Special Quality pentode vacuum tubes.
Continuously variable tube distortion.
Self-adapting anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters for the widest possible frequency response.

Put a source in.
Get magic out.

With 1200 ms on tap, you’ll have your second great idea ready before the first one even comes back around.

Analog. Alive. Unapologetic.

KNIF BBD: Source in, magic out.

As for the riffs, Siouxsie, Dead Can Dance, & Cocteau Twins? What do they remind you of?

2/24/26 SSL 1660 + STG Oscillator + Zerosum 6550-99 & Scorpion Tail + Alesis MIDIVERB II + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"This is a montage of several tests of the second STG soundlabs Oscillator we recently picked up, sequenced by the Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 The Matrix Algorithmic Composer. The STG saw output is panned center, with the triangle output panned left, through the Zerosum Inertia Scorpion Tail. Eventually the STG square output is controlling the Zerosum 6550-99 thyratron oscillator."

Synthesizers.com Q106 & Q106A Oscillator Modules Back In Production

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

Hosted by Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com back in 2017.

via Synthesizers.com

"This week, we’ve officially begun production on our Q106 & Q106A Oscillator modules! Here’s everything you need to know to get even more excited:

Q106 Oscillator

The Q106 Oscillator is the foundation of any synthesizer providing the basic waveforms used to construct sounds. With a total range of .05hz to 20kHz+, the Q106 operates as a powerful audio oscillator and a full-featured LFO. Check out the Q106 Oscillator Patch Trick video [posted here]

Q106A Oscillator

The Q106A Oscillator combines the features of the popular Q106 oscillator along with the Q141 Aid module, all in a dual-wide panel. Additionally, the Q106A provides AC/DC switching of linear and exponential frequency inputs.If you already have a Q106 oscillator, use the conversion kit.The Q106A is compatible with the Q161 Oscillator Mixer."

Knif BBD / Modcan videos pt 2 via Drew Neumann

"'So I set up this simple patch…'
🎧🎧

While the patch would take a while to describe in great detail, here are the main points. All of the audio in the clip is coming from the Modcan processed through the Knif BBD in realtime. The Moog Subsequent 37 is sending arpeggiated notes, modulation, and pitch wheel to the STG Continuo, which is converting that to control voltage (plus internal LFO) and gate for the modular. The pitch CV is then routed to a Wiard Mini Wave, which imposes various quantized key modes and scales on the pitch. The gate signal is routed to various envelopes, LFO resets, and the Milton Sequencer (upper right) to clock everything together and keep it in sync. Milton is handling several duties including pulse width offsets for the oscillators, CV offsets for the filters, Wiard Mini Wave 2s wavetable select, and trigger outputs for the rhythmic parts. The "voice" is 3 oscillators (one of which is processed through the second Wiard Mini Wave for wavetables) through the Moog 904a filter, 2 more oscillators going to 2 Arp 4075 filters panned hard left and right, 2 oscillators plus ring modulator and spring reverb acting at the "cymbal," white noise and Dark Star Chaos triggered by Milton for additional percussion effects. The Knif BBD is tap-tempo synced to the Moog Subsequent 37's arpeggio clock. From there, everything is messing around with the Knif BBD controls, selecting notes on the Moog, and noodling around on the Modcan's front panel controls.

"Nine Modcan B modules, three Synthetic Sound Labs modules, Mellotron M4000D, Roland Integra7, and Strymon and Lexicon effects.

So many fishies, left in the sea. So many fishies, and my synthesizers and me . . . 😁

SynTesla Presents 5U Animator Module

video upload by SynTesla

"SynTesla presents the Animator 5U module.

The electronics for this module were conceived by the brilliant mind of Yves Usson. It is a new kind of module, quite different from what one usually finds in a modular synthesizer.

The Animator (temporary name, we need to find a better one) will generate a modulated mix of four waveforms of different pitches and types from a simple external sawtooth wave.

This module is a real achievement because it is 100% analog. It will be available in the next SynTesla 5U systems."

Just another day at the studio.

Q119 Driving Juno‑6 & MS-10

video upload by rimela

"A quick experiment using the Dotcom Q119 sequencer in random mode to clock the Roland Juno‑6 and feed its filter input. One of the Q119 rows also drives the Korg MS‑10 to generate shifting random intervals. Pure analog unpredictability."

MDLR JAM 04 - Live 5U Modular Session

video upload by rimela

"In this patch, the Korg Polysix becomes part of the modular ecosystem. Its filter CV input is driven from the modular. Chord progressions are rythmically shaped by trigger and clock signals coming from the Roland TR-505. String layers from the Roland RS-09. Drums are the Corsynth DR 01/02/03. modules. Recorded live in one take."

This thing sounds absolutely HUGE !!

Comes with the original lid as well (see pictures)"

MDLR JAM 03 - Live 5U Modular Session

video upload by rimela

"A live-recorded modular improvisation shaped around a bleak, dystopian atmosphere. Phaser-washed Polysix pads set the mood. Clock and triggers come from the Roland TR-505, driving the system in sync.
Captured in one take – no edits, no overdubs – just the patch unfolding in real time."
