"Very rare vintage Big Briar 91A Theremin signed by Bob Moog. It's in fantastic shape for its age and fully functional. This one has an additional timbre control that was requested by a previous owner, added by Stephen Dunnington of Moog Music. Apparently it was to make it sound more like Clara Rockmore’s custom instrument. These hardly ever show up for sale, grab this collectible piece before its gone. Previously owned by thereminist Peter Pringle, then owned by a famous musician who delivered it in person to our shop. Before delivery it was checked out by well respected and theremin authority Mike Buffington."

This is a basic demonstration of the 291 vintage buchla filter clone by Roman Filippov. I am using it in conjunction with the 258 dual oscillator clone by Dunnington Audio, UK as well as a Buchla USA 281h/292h combo. The filters are being used in parallel. The Q setting is at top of its range. I have them calibrated for a modest max Q setting. I have a randomly generated pattern emitting from the 218e using a latched arpeggio.

The 291 Dual Voltage Controlled Filter is made up of two bandpass filters with adjustable Q, Center Frequency, and Bandwidth. The Center Frequency and Bandwidth are also voltage controllable.

Moog Subharmonicon Reviewed and Explained

Published on May 23, 2018 loopop

"The Subharmonicon is a lovely, interesting and different synth from Moog. Only around 100 were hand soldered and built at Moogfest's 2018 Engineering Workshop, and there's no information currently about whether it will be released commercially.

Even though availability is scarce, I decided to put together a review of this instrument, because the way it works is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to sound generation and sequencing. Also, one would hope that Moog will eventually mass produce the Subharmonicon, as they did for most, but not all past Engineer Workshop projects, like the DFAM and Werkstatt.

This review includes an interview with Steve Dunnington from Moog, who led the Subharmonicon project. Steve talks about the vintage synthesizers (Trautonium and Rhythmicon) and composition theory (Schillinger system) that inspired this synth.

So what makes the Subharmonicon special? Two main things. First, it has six (!) oscillators. These are sawtooth oscillators, a tribute to the original Trautonium. There are two main oscillators and each has two sawtooth sub oscillators, which can follow its main frequency at subharmonic intervals – divisions of anywhere between 1 and 15.

The second thing that makes it special is its sequencers. Each of the two oscillator groups has a sequencer dedicated to it. Initially, it may seem these sequencers are limited because they only have 4 steps each. However, the Subharmonicon sequencers aren't designed to just be played in a regular step-by-step fashion. Rather, their cadence is powered by up to 4 tempo sub-dividers, also based on the principle of subharmonics. This rhythmic core produces sequences far longer than 4 steps, repeating and skipping notes in very interesting and surprising ways. Each of the two sequencers can be configured to control either the pitch of its main VCO (and sub oscillators) or just modulate the subharmonic divisions – thus generating different chords on a per step basis.

In addition to new elements above the Subharmonicon contains controls we're used to seeing in Mother-32 and DFAM: a resonant low pass filter, AD envelopes for the VCA and filter, and a 32-jack patch bay with access to many of the internal controls."

MoogFest 2018: Sub-Harmonicon Classroom Drone Session

"This is my first patch with the MoogFest 2018 Sub-Harmonicon.
I just used a bit of background noise reduction to take away the noise of the large classroom we were in... Many thanks to the people at Moog music, everyone that helps make the MoogFest possible and a Mega-Ultra-Gigantic Thanks to Steve Dunnington for all his hard work. Thanks bro!

The Moog Sub-harmonicon is a combination of two electronic instruments.

Moog DFAM Analog Percussion Synth 28 Min Techno Session w/Modular FX & Samples

Published on May 6, 2018 mylarmelodies

"I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I think the Moog DFAM is one of the most interesting analogue products to come out in years, from any company - you could play a (seriously nuts) show with only a DFAM, some delay, and a few samples - so having just got my very own one yesterday, the first thing I wanted to try was that. This was the result!

In this video I have clocked DFAM to the modular, and what you're hearing is:

1. Predominantly DFAM with added clocked stereo pingpong delay from Intellijel Rainmaker, and reverb from the Make Noise Erbe Verb (DFAM is on the channel marked '808' on the desk)
2. Plus occasional additional percussion from Tiptop Audio's One sampler (x2) plus the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter and the ALM Akemie's Taiko. These are being sequenced by the modular via the Euclidean Circles module by VPME and the Abstract Data Event Boss.

So yes, as you hear...the DFAM is insane. Imagine it through a big system. Steve Dunnington @ Moog found a hell of a patch. I can not recommend it enough."

Rheyne - Sequenced Jam #34 - "DFAM Jam" (Moog Drummer From Another Mother)

Published on May 27, 2017 Rheyne

"First video with the Moog "Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM)" from Moogfest 2017. I assembled the module in the Engineer Workshop, led by Steve Dunnington who designed it. All notes are triggered by the Moog and Make Noise hardware in the rack.

The DFAM is solo'd at the beginning and end of the video from a state change on the Make Noise Tempi, which I controlled using Lemur on my phone which was taped to the camera. This was sent as a MIDI message from Lemur to an iConnectMIDI 4, and then to one of the Mother-32 modules where it was converted to CV, which was sent to the Tempi's state change CV input.

The module has much more versatility than what's heard and displayed here. More coming soon."

"A tour of the entire Moog assembly line in one minute! After I had a chance to play the Voyager Steve Dunnington took us in to the main production room. Moog has much larger accommodations now, but in 2002 the entire facility was only 3 or 4 rooms including the shipping area. Mike Adams' "office" was the corner of the front room and he sat behind an old green metal teacher's desk. The "breakroom" was another corner-- a picnic bench covered with a vinyl red and white checkerboard tablecloth. It was charming, warm and intimate. Thanks to all the folks who built and continue to build the greatest electronic musical instruments on the planet."

MOOG LIVES. PLAY ON. | The Making of the Little Phatty & Its Discontinuation

Published on Sep 9, 2013 MoogMusicInc·253 videos

"The Little Phatty was released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog. Following the passing of Dr. Moog, The Little Phatty was the first Moog synthesizer designed by Moog Music's Chief Engineer, Cyril Lance.

Over the course of its seven year production run, the Little Phatty has gone through three incantations including The Tribute, Stage I, and Stage II editions. During that time, the Little Phatty has become one of the best selling professional analog synthesizers in history. Its sonic impact on modern music can be heard on thousands of records, and its signature swooped-back silhouette can be seen in top recording facilities around the world as well as on the stages of internationally touring musical acts such as Rush, Jack White, Queens of The Stone Age, No Doubt, Bernie Worrell and the hit shows American Idol, Nashville and Portlandia"

Update: and the official press release:

"ASHEVILLE, NC – September 9, 2013 – Moog Music today announced the discontinuation of the Little Phatty Stage II analog synthesizer. Moog plans to continue building a limited quantity of units at their factory in downtown Asheville while parts and materials last, which is not expected to be more than two months. The Little Phatty was released in 2006 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Moog Music founder and synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog. Following the passing of Dr. Moog, The Little Phatty was the first Moog synthesizer designed by Moog Music's Chief Engineer, Cyril Lance.

“After Bob’s passing, we faced the immense challenge of creating a new synthesizer that would embody the values that we all treasured in Bob," Lance recalls. “We worked around the clock to develop an instrument that was founded on his continually forward-looking view of synthesis."

Over the course of its seven-year production run, the Little Phatty has gone through three incantations including The Tribute, Stage I, and Stage II editions. During that time, the Little Phatty has become one of the best selling professional analog synthesizers in history.

“The Little Phatty represented a key foundational element in what would become the future of Moog Music," said Michael Adams, Moog Music President & CEO. "It was the synthesizer that proved to the world that Moog Music would continue to create market leading, forward-thinking synthesizers. The fact that the Little Phatty remains an industry standard instrument for artists and producers to this day, is a testament to its design.”

The Little Phatty Stage II is still available in limited quantities at stocking dealers in standard and custom colors while supplies last. For pricing and availability, please visit www.moogmusic.com/dealers.

Moog Slim Phatty Receives Outstanding Technical Achievement Award

"Moog Slim Phatty Receives Outstanding Technical Achievement Award During TEC Foundation Ceremony

Powerful Descendant of the Iconic Minimoog Model D is Recognized as Best in Musical Equipment Technology / Hardware Category

ANAHEIM, Calif. – January 25, 2012 – Moog Music has announced that it has won an Outstanding Technical Achievement award from the TEC (Technical Excellence & Creativity) Foundation in recognition of its Slim Phatty analog synthesizer, launched in 2011. Mike Adams, CEO/President; Cyril Lance, Chief Engineer and Steve Dunnington, Product Development Specialist of Moog Music were all on hand to accept the award during a special recognition ceremony held at the 2012 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA on Friday evening.

"It is an honor to be recognized with an Outstanding Technical Achievement award by the TEC Foundation,” commented Mike Adams. “The Slim Phatty is an enormously flexible and expressive instrument and is of course a direct descendant of the Iconic Minimoog Model D.”

Massive Moog Sound in a Small Package
Based on the powerful Little Phatty sound engine, the Slim Phatty features the classic Moog Ladder Filter, the touchstone of analog sound design. In addition to shaping the sound of its on-board oscillators, the Slim Phatty's filter is a valuable production tool that can be used to process external audio, or to sweeten a variety of audio sources with everything from smooth analog warmth through wet, resonant filter sweeps.

The Slim Phatty's convenient size makes it an ideal voice expander for existing gear, with two oscillators of massive Moog sound that are always just a MIDI cable away. A new Tuning Scale feature and editor allows easy exploration of alternate scales and tunings. Microtonal, just intonation, quarter-tone, world music scales and more make the Slim Phatty suitable for international travel.

In addition to the world of MIDI and USB gear, the Slim Phatty's Control Voltage inputs give it unlimited realms of expression and sound design possibilities. "Modular synth" style patching with Moogerfooger effects processors, the CP-251 Control Voltage Processor and other Moog synths creates soundscapes previously available only on large modular systems. Connecting to the Etherwave Plus Control Voltage Theremin adds unique and intuitive new modes of expression.
