The Man - The Legend: Dave Rossum Talks Filter Design

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Bob invited the iconic filter chip designer Dave Rossum to our booth at NAMM to talk about his filter designs. Caution: It gets super nerdy!

In the video, Dave shares the incredible story about how he came up with the design for the 2040 filter on a napkin over lunch with Tom Oberheim, how he avoided stepping on Bob Moog's toes when designing the 2144 filter, and what the sonic differences are between these two chips.

Groove's Bob Coover also talks about his thought process behind choosing the filters for the 3rd Wave Advanced Wavetable Synth. It's all about the grease and the groove!

The Sound That Shaped Music | Minimoog Model D | Bob Moog Tribute Edition

video upload by Moog Music



"A Limited-Edition Piece of Synth History. https://inmusic.to/y65ybz6e

In 1970, the Minimoog Model D redefined modern music-making as the first portable, performance-ready analog keyboard synthesizer—bringing the Moog sound to artists worldwide. This tribute edition honors that legacy and the visionary spirit of Bob Moog.

For artists like Gary Numan, Jimmy Jam, and Mark Mothersbaugh, the sound of the Minimoog Model D was a catalyst. Loved for its warm, analog tone and intuitive, straightforward design, this timeless synthesizer’s influence transcends genres and generations. Its distinctive basses, soaring leads, and classic filter character established the Model D as the archetype of what artists and listeners still imagine when they think of the synthesizer.

This limited-edition production run features a custom quartersawn oak wood enclosure, a unique back-panel decal, and an included SR Series travel case, along with 100% analog circuitry and all the modern functional enhancements from the instrument’s 2022 release.

To honor Dr. Bob Moog’s legacy and impact on modern music technology, $500 from each unit sold will be donated directly to the Bob Moog Foundation, supporting the Moogseum, Dr. Bob’s Sound School, and the preservation of the Bob Moog Foundation Archives.

"A Special Run of an Iconic Instrument

We designed this limited-edition production run with intentional details that commemorate Bob Moog's earliest synthesizer models. The instrument features a custom badge that uses a metal photo-anodization process, which harkens back to the modular panel graphics found on the System 55, System 35, and Model 10 synthesizers, as well as select early R.A. Moog Co. Minimoogs. The instrument features a custom quartersawn oak wood enclosure, a unique back-panel decal, and an included SR Series travel case, along with 100% analog circuitry and all the modern functional enhancements from the instrument’s latest reissue.

Each Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D synthesizer is assembled by hand in our North Carolina production facility, and only 500 in total will be built by our small team."

About the Radio Show:
With a strong accent on the raw, the rockin’, the weird, and the obscure, Go Go Kitty is a surprise-filled two-hour trawl through the moldy and mysterious vinyl vault, shellac silo, and digital crypt of hopelessly obsessive musicologist and record junkie Peter Aaron.

About the Peter Aaron:
Peter Aaron is an award-winning journalist who has authored several books on music and has served as the music/arts editor of Chronogram Magazine since 2006. His writing has appeared in the Village Voice, the Boston Herald, and other publications, and online at AllMusic and All About Jazz. He lives in the Hudson Valley.

About Dina Pearlman-Ifil
Dina is the only child of Alan and Buena Pearlman and grew up with ARP Synthesizers as a backdrop for her childhood, traveling extensively and being exposed to innovative and cutting edge technology. In her early years she spent time playing in rock and roll bands, as well as dance and theater. For the past thirty years she has worked as a versatile visual arts and design professional, creative director, and educator. She has also worked extensively in photography, graphic and web design for several decades, and has a broad understanding of visual communications media.

In the last few years before his illness, Alan Pearlman started to re-examine the brave new world of synthesizers that exists today, many decades after his iconic and groundbreaking 12 years as the inventor and founder of ARP Synthesizers. During this time, he brought his daughter into the conversation. After his death in January 2019, Dina realized that the need of keeping his legacy and passion alive, and with the help and encouragement of many of his former colleagues as well as the wonderful Michelle Moog-Koussa, she started the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation and ARP Archives."

An Interview with Marcus Ryle: Inventor, Visionary, Entrepreneur

video upload by FerroCity

"Would you believe me if I told you I knew a guy who quit school at 16 and went to work in the Caltech Music Lab. At 18 was handpicked by Tom Oberheim, founder of a leading and pioneering synthesizer manufacturer of the same name, Oberhiem. This “kid” went on to help design Oberheim’s OBXa, then Oberheim’s first sequencer and drum machine.

From there he cofounded a design company that built the first electric drum pads for Dyna Cord. The first affordable sequencer, drum kit and digital tape recorded, ADAT, produced by Alesis.

WANT more! That design company grew into the legendary first guitar amp with digital sound modeling, Line Six Amps and effects pedals.

In this episode Marcus Riley shares not only the secrets of his accomplishments but what you need to know to drive you to accomplish your dreams."

Building music. Cable by cable. | Ģirts Ozoliņš | TEDxRiga

video upload by TEDx Talks

Spotted this one searching the TEDx Talks channel for the recently taken down Sounds of Tomorrow video. I'm not finding this one with Ģirts of Erica Synths on the site, so up it goes. Note it's from 2019 and an interesting look back on the time.

Video description:
"Instruments can open a world of opportunity for creative expression. And when that instrument is a synthesizer, that opportunity becomes nearly limitless. What does it take to open the floodgates of creative exploration? In the mind of Girts Ozolins, it takes making musical instruments more accessible to the masses. Girts' interest in electronics, electronic music and synthesizers developed when he was only twelve years old. Now he is a founder of Erica Synths, a successful company that develops, manufactures, and exports electronic music instruments. They are used by thousands of people around the world — some worth mentioning include Martin Gore from the English electronic band Depeche Mode and the famous German composer Hans Zimmer.
Erica Synths' main export products are modular synthesizers — they're played in every corner of the world, covering every continent except Antarctica.
Girts strongly believes that electronic music technologies are the best combination of creativity and engineering. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx"

From Order to Chaos | Sound Architecture 01

video upload by _marcozoppi

"| Sound Mechanics of Chaos and Randomness |

In this video, I explore chaotic systems in modular synthesis, starting from Rob Hordijk’s ideas on feedback and nonlinear patching, and developing a system that lives between control and unpredictability.

Why chaos? Because perfection is static — chaos is alive. Small changes create massive transformations, generating evolving, organic sound structures that never truly repeat.

This approach goes beyond 'perfect' modulation and embraces instability as a creative tool for sound design, composition, and generative systems.

Special Guest 🎤
In this episode, I also interview Federico Intrisano (Jolin) about modular development, philosophy, and experimentation.
