Moog Catalog Featuring Rick Wakeman, Jon Lord, Chick Corea, Jan Hammer, Keith Emerson, Tony Banks
"The Moog Philosophy
'If you're into synthesizers, you have a lot in common with us. We're concerned, and maybe you are too, about some of the hype that's been around on synthesizer design. It's the kind of hype that places too much importance on gimmicks that don't have any real musical purpose.
Musicians Like You Help Design Moog Sinthesizers'"
via Astronauta Pinguim where you'll find the rest of the scans and a full write-up.

I'm missing the sixth person in the title. Anyone know who it is?

An Interview with Vince Clarke on Astronauta Pinguim
On his massive synth collection:
"I think I seriously started collecting synths in the early 90's. And then, having run out of space, I stopped. I realized, the only keyboards worth owning were the one's that would be useful to my music making process, and that is still true today. I try to incorporate as many different synths as possible into my music, rather than favor one particular keyboard over another."

The Moog 1125 Sample & Hold
Astronauta Pinguim has a post up on the Moog 1125 Sample & Hold. You'll find additional pics, some history on the module, and instructions on how to use it (captured in the bottom pic below).
"The 1125 Sample and Hold is a device that captures the voltage range of the synthesizer, creates a pattern and repeats it constantly. The waveform (sawtooth or random) of this pattern is controlled by a slider on the left side of the 1125 -the other two sliders are a glide and the scale controla. Two knobs in the center of the equipment, one for speed (rate) and other for the sample pattern are located above three on/off switches: one to record and the other two to start and stop the sample (a red light indicates when it is working).
Five switches on the right side complete the unit: one to control the extent of sampling, two on/off switches controls the outputs of the instrument, an on/off switch controls the trigger and another controls the size (short or long) of the gate."

Herb Deutsch Interview on Astronauta Pinguim
"In 1963 Herb Deutsch met Robert Arthur Moog at a conference of the NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) in Rochester, NY. The year before, Herb had built a Melodia model theremin, from an article written by Robert Moog on “Electronics World” magazine, in which Bob explained step by step how to assemble the theremin and this was the initial subject of conversation between them.The ideas evolved very quickly, and they decided to work together in a project to build a sound synthesizer, based on the principles of voltage controlled that were already being developed by Bob. In 1964 they designed and assembled the first prototype of the Moog synthesizer and, among other things, it was Herb who insisted on the idea of using a keyboard similar to a piano, because it would be more practical to composers and it would also help to increase the sales of the new instrument."

Jean Jacques Perrey Interview on Astronauta Pinguim
"Jean Jacques Perrey was born on January 20, 1929 in a small village in the north of France. When he was 4 years old, Santa Claus brought him his first accordion (on Christmas Eve, 1933) and, after that, he was possessed by a "little demon of music", as he says. In 1952 while attending medical school in Paris he met George Jenny, inventor of an innovative musical instrument called Ondioline. This contact with Georges Jenny was only the first of a series of meetings with personalities who passed through the life of Jean Jacques Perrey and that somehow have marked his whole career. Because of his enormous talent to play the "ondioline", he was invited by the famous singer Edith Piaf to take part in her shows - as a musician, playing the Ondioline..."

Astronauta Pinguim on the KORG VC-10 Vocoder
via Astronauta Pinguim where you'll find the full post including more pics.
"Produced between 1978 and 1982, the Korg VC-10 vocoder was the most popular among the many vocoder models made in the 70’s by several manufacturers. When the VC-10 came on the market, both the Korg - originally called Keio Electronic Laboratories - as the voice decoder (or vocoder) had some years of existence. What Korg did was attach a synthesizer to something that already existed and that was what made this instrument extremely popular: portability and the convenience of having a vocoder that didn't require external instrument to generate audio signal and modulate the pitch. They created a "self-sufficient” vocoder – you could only plug a microphone into it and was all ready to go!"

MATRIXSYNTH T Spotted on TV - Lirinha with Astronauta Pinguim on Keys
AO VIVO: Lirinha no Estúdio Showlivre
YouTube Streamed live on Nov 21, 2011 by showlivre
Show starts at 6:30. I believe this is the second time MATRIXSYNTH was featured on a TV broadcast. There was one on French TV posted here. I keep hoping to find a MATRIXSYNTH card somewhere on the IT Crowd.

"Is the highlight Lirinha Studio Showivre (www.showivre.com) broadcast live on November 21, 2011.
Singer-songwriter presents Lirinha your disk, Lira, work that marked a new phase which now follows the artist in solo work, after more than 10 year career with Cordel do Fogo Encantado.
In Lira, the musician reinvents itself with a sound that goes through the use of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, percussion and drums, resulting in a surprising and innovative foray into territory that is familiar: the fine line between music and poetry. Lirinha shows his maturity as an artist and songwriter, evolves into a cohesive work, with strong influence of the references that populate his songs."

Cantor e compositor Lirinha apresenta seu disco, Lira, trabalho que marca nova fase do artista que agora segue em trabalho solo, depois de mais de 10 anos de carreira com o Cordel do Fogo Encantado.
Em Lira, o músico se reinventa com uma sonoridade que passa pela utilização de guitarras, teclados, sintetizadores, percussão e bateria, resultando em uma surpreendente e inovadora incursão em território que lhe é familiar: a tênue fronteira entre a música e a poesia. Lirinha mostra seu amadurecimento como artista e letrista, evolui em um trabalho coeso, com forte influência das referências que povoam as suas canções."
