Awesome shirt! :)

"I am working on a new cover and needed a certain sound. How to get it?: sampling a pipeline.
* * Guess the song I will be covering?. Write it in the comments section. * *
This sample will need some post production though, but It is a good approach to what I need."

"T-t-t-t-techno! Just another dungeon jam.

Jupiter storm through the WMD aperture filter (which is awesome btw). Mutant bass drum through Red Dragon filter. MI Elements. And I put the Eventide Space Reverb on the Mutant Hot Glue send and return. I hadn't thought of using external pedals in the modular signal chain like this but it works great."

Bob Moog Foundation - Moogtastic Synth Portrait of Bob Moog - New Years Card

Pictured is the art on a New Years card sent my way via The Bob Moog Foundation. Click on it to see the synths. :) P.S. The card is actually a bright white. Apologies for the poor lighting; my room isn't the brightest at the moment. You can find better pics over on the Bob Moog Foundation's site here.

The art is the Moogtastic mosaic featured on a T-Shirt and poster available at The Bob Moog Foundation shop.

The following are some details on the design:

"Our remarkable new Moogsaic design, so named for its portraiture of Bob Moog composed of over 250 hand-drawn synthesizers, modules, and sonic components, was created for the Bob Moog Foundation by illustrator and animator David C. Lovelace. From close-up, the image looks like an interesting collection of electronic instruments, but from just a few steps away, Bob's image and his intense gaze clearly appears.

The Gildan Ultra Cotton short-sleeved art tees are digitally printed to maintain the integrity of the design. They are available in sizes S-3XL.

The 11” x 17” poster is printed in Bob's home town of Asheville, NC on heavy poster stock. The poster features a unique archival image of Bob, as well as his signature, and is sure to be an inspirational focal point in your studio, home, office or classroom!

It features the following quote:

"I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer.""

Bob Moog Foundation Squarewave to Heaven Synth T-Shirt by David Lovelace, Posters, & Interviews

Soon to be a classic, this t-shirt was conceptualized and designed by our graphics guru David Lovelace. It has been so popular in Germany that we listed it on Amazon.de as well. Check it out here.

"Inspired by Bob Moog? So are we! The Bob Moog Foundation strives to ignite creativity in children and adults through the intersection of science, music, and technology. Your support helps our ongoing work inspiring young children about the science of sound through our hallmark educational project, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, and our historic preservation of the Bob Moog Foundation Archives, which includes thousands of schematics, photos, notes, vintage catalogs, personal correspondence, instruments, and more. In the spring of 2019 both of these projects will converge in a Moogseum in downtown Asheville, NC."

"Starting today and running through Tuesday, January 1st, all of the art and festival posters (many signed by the performing artists!) on our online store are 25% off!

"Our executive director Michelle Moog-Koussa was recently featured on the podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz, which explores the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds. Both she and theremin virtuoso Rob Schwimmer appear alongside the podcast's host, Dallas Taylor, discussing the theremin's history, functionality, and its link to Bob Moog and his work.

You can listen to the podcast here.

Michelle was also interviewed by Heather Anders of 98.1 The River in the Foundation's hometown of Asheville, NC. Heather delved into all of the Foundation's work, with an exploration of the plans for the Moogseum.

You can listen to that insightful interview here."

Boss DR-110 analog drum machine (1983): unboxing, tutorial, review and TR-808 bass drum mod.

Published on Nov 26, 2018 2kB of Fun

"Boss made a couple of budget analog drum machines. After the first, the DR-55, they came with the Dr. Rhythm Graphic in 1983.

In this video the DR-110 gets unboxed, you will see how to operate it, and it wil be modified to make the analog bass drum a longer bass drum, to mimic the sound of the Roland TR-808.

The iMac G4 in the back captures the sound from the DR-110 using classic Phonic Firefly 302 FireWire audio interface.

Filmed with a Nikon D850 in 4K, a 28mm 2.8 AIs and a 85mm PC-E Tilt-Shift lens.

I'm wearing a custom made Korg DS-8 T-shirt."

Side note: 2kB of Fun has a cool video on a vintage electronic game systems book here (and a top 5 list here).
