EXPERIMENT 82725: Moog Muse Ambient Synth Drone
video upload by Bill Wolfer
"An ambient degenerative drone patch. No arpeggiator or sequencers were used. Oscillator two is synced to Oscillator one. LFO 1 and LFO 2 are modulating the frequency of Oscillator two with non-synchronized sample & hold waveforms. The filters are in series in bandpass mode, and are being modulated slowly with a sine wave from the modulation oscillator. Plenty of diffusion delay is added, along with Moogerfooger Clusterflux chorus and plenty of reverb. It's all one track, recorded as is. Machine melodies.

The Rare Tuttivox by Harald Bode
video upload by HAINBACH
"I have been very interested in the work of German inventor and engineer Harald Bode. His essays and instruments were hugely influential on Robert Moog, Don Buchla and many others, and laid the ground work to the synthesizers of today. Sadly, most of his more experimental designs don't survive. But some of his more conventional instruments do, like his adaption of the proto-synth Clavioline he made for JΓΆrgensen, the Tuttivox (with involvement/Patents to Rene Seybold). When one crossed my way, I could not resist. But when it arrived, I was in for a bad surprise."

Crumar Spirit includes over 430 sensational presets in 12 categories
Producers will find immediate inspiration in Spirit's extensive preset library, created by a talented sound design team led by veteran sound designer James Terris. And don't miss the Spectres for Spirt Preset Pack (sold separately), featuring an additional 100 additional presets by James Dyson.
A "Little Synth" Designed by Legends
Crumar S.P.A., based in Castelfidardo, Italy, was a notable player in the 1970s musical instrument industry, specializing in home organs, digital pianos, and multi-sound keyboards, and with a significant focus on the U.S. market. Sante Crucianelli, the son of the owner, became the driving force behind Crumar's design and strategies. Crumar became known for its open lab culture, frequently allowing competitors to test instruments, a rare practice for the time. Another key figure during this period was Luciano Jura, a designer, musician, and programmer. Luciano became crucial as Crumar's point of contact with synth pioneer Bob Moog, which led to a collaboration that resulted in the creation of Crumar's Spirit synthesizer.
Although many details have been lost due to the passing of key figures and the closure of Crumar, the development of the Spirit synthesizer in the U.S. is well documented. Key contributors to the project, codenamed "Little Synth," included Moog engineer Jim Scott, Moog clinician and electronic music historian Tom Rhea, and Bob Moog himself. The project likely began around 1980 or 1981, and incorporated elements from earlier projects by Scott and Moog. Rhea played an essential role in defining the Spirit's key features, such as the keyboard scanning setup, panel layout, functional architecture, and technical documentation. The Crumar Spirit went into production and was released in late 1983.

Muse | Moog Influence on Matt Johnson of Jamiroquai's New Solo Album | Jazz Cafe London
video upload by Moog Music
"Join @MattJohnsonskeyspace, the eclectic, funk-driven keyboardist of Jamiroquai, at the Jazz Cafe in London as he dives into the Moog instruments that helped shape his upcoming solo album.
For Matt, the Muse is more than a synth, it’s an instrument that talks back. With deep modulation possibilities and an assignable macro knob for expressive, on-the-fly control, Muse lets him program in advance and still play with complete spontaneity.
Alongside Muse, Matt’s Moog collection includes Messenger, his original Minimoog, the Moog One, and the Voyager — each adding its own character to his signature sound.
We love being a part of this musical journey."

RITM-2 Synthesizer (1982) - 1 OSC Clone Moog Prodigy
video upload by LFOstore
"According to information that is actively circulating and being replicated on the Internet, the RITM-2 synthesizer was created in 1982 by Viktor Anatolyevich Nikulin, an engineer at the Kirov Musical Instruments Factory, at the request of a musician friend.
The device was well-received by the company's management, and in 1984, it was put into mass production, which continued for 10 years. During this time, the instrument's design underwent three further improvements. It was the only Soviet synthesizer where all components and controls were housed on a single printed circuit board.
Functionally, it consists of one tone generator, a noise generator, a sound signal mixer (triangle, saw, rectangle, noise), a low-pass filter, two full-format envelope generators (attack, decay, sustain, aftertouch), and a low-frequency modulation generator. It is a portable keyboard instrument weighing approximately 9 kg, housed in a plywood case with a lid.
The front panel had two versions: black and white. The main feature of the instrument, which determined its character, long life, and fame in the professional environment, was its unique and harsh sound.
The production capabilities of the enterprise were quite modest, and only about three thousand instruments were produced over the course of 10 years. RITM-2 was produced exclusively on orders from the administrations of houses and palaces of culture, as well as from leading communist enterprises that had their own musical groups.
During the Soviet period, it was impossible to purchase a rare instrument on the open market, and the RITM-2 was not widely known among musicians who were not affiliated with amateur groups. It was not until after 1993, when the Soviet government's support for amateur music, along with the cultural palaces and the Soviet government itself, ceased to exist, that the RITM-2 synthesizer began to find its way into the hands of professional musicians both in Russia and abroad.
The electronic musical synthesizer Rhythm-2 is a single-voice
keyboard instrument designed for solo, ensemble, orchestral performance of musical works of various genres, as well as for educational purposes and obtaining new sound effects. It can be used both in pop orchestras and at home in conjunction with an amplifier-acoustic device having an input sensitivity of no worse than 0.775. It is possible to use a low-frequency amplifier of a radio receiver, TV, tape recorder. The sound quality of the synthesizer will depend on the quality of the amplifier-acoustic device used.
On the Rhythm-2 synthesizer, it is possible to imitate the sound of classical musical instruments (keyboard, string, reed, percussion) with a certain degree of authenticity and create original sound effects (wind noise, the sound of a passing train, the sound of a sea wave, a shot and the whistle of a bullet).
The synthesizer can be used to play melodies with randomly changing pitch or timbre."

Moog Muse | Bitimbrality &
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we explore the bi-timbrality of Muse.
We first look at the bi-timbral nature of Muse and how voices are allocated to each of Muse’s two timbres. We then take a look at the Voice Control module of Muse, and how you can use SPLIT to restrict Timbre A to the left side of the keyboard while Timbre B is restricted to the right side. We also look at how you can change the keyboard split point, swap timbre settings, and explore how you can restrict voice counts per-timbre. Finally, we look at STACK and how timbres can be layered on top of each other for deeper sound design possibilities."
Muse | Spatial Binaural Spread
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we look at some of Muse's spatial and binaural features.
We begin by looking at the Pan Spread control, which by default spreads alternating voices in the left/right stereo field at increasing width. With this we can take a mono synth sound and create something much more enveloping. Next we look at spatial (sometimes called ‘binaural’) modulation with the LFO PHASE SPREAD setting in the VCA more menu. With this setting enabled and an LFO set to per-voice (instead of global) as Pan Spread is increased the LFO will be inverted in the right channel. When used to control a parameter like the volume, this turns a simple tremolo effect into something similar to a rotating Leslie speaker cabinet. Finally, we look at random Pan Spread voice placement."

PMS Performance Music Systems SYNTAR
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
Don't miss the demo in the listing, previously posted here.

"This is the very rare 1980 Performance Music Systems (PMS) SYNTAR. The SYNTAR licensed the Electronic Music Systems EML designs made famous in the ElectroComp EML 101 and arranged them as a two oscillator synth with a multimode filter, Sample/Track & Hold, LFO, two EGs: ADSR and AD. All of the pots are sealed Type-J and some of them use the unique center 0 style for mixing in LFO or ENV. The oscillator wave forms are selected using a pot rather than a switch, which allows for a full range of shapes and you can go through low pass, bypass and highpass modes in the same linear fashion.
Sonically the SYNTAR is its own beast though most similar to the EML ElectroComp 101 and capable of growly moog style bass and leads with colorful resonant filter sweeps to very subtle pure tones thanks to how wave forms are variably dialed. The two printed pages are excerpts keyboard magazine's analog synthesizers features some details and pictures of the SYNTAR being shown at NAMM.
The left hand controls feature 9 wood blocks that control pots to allow for:
pitch up, pitch down
pitch modulation
sustain
filter up, filter down
filter modulation
amplitude modulation
nose. [sic]
Portamento control can be set to be directional and has a linear or exponential glide.
The power was rebuilt and includes a few modifications for CV and GATE out so that the SYNTAR could be used to drive modular analogue synthesizer. The Pratt-Reed keyboard has new bushings.
The original ATA flight case and a one off custom vinyl gig bag are included as well as a 50' and a 25' cable and stack of original patch sheets. The cable handles power, audio, external audio in, CV and gate so that you only plug in the 10 pin milspec cable to the SYNTAR.
The flightcase foam is collapsing, but fortunately the velvet covering is intact over it. The flight case is solid. This synth is now 45 years old with components from the mid 1970s. The original type-J sealed pots are all working, but are scratchy."

One of my favorite tracks.
Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne from the album Blizzard of Ozz (1980)
Featured the Moog Minimoog, the Logan String Melody II and the Roland VP-330
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
