"***notice that the theremin needs service*** Up for sale is my R.A. Moog Co. Troubador Theremin with serial number 1001. Which means it's the first one made, probably by Bob Moog himself on 3 October 1969. Unfortunately it's not working. One of the coils is broken and the power lead needs work. It's sold as-is, untested. I've been looking years for a second example to fix this one, without result so far.. Optically there are signs of use, some screws are missing, some wear and tear at the front panel and bottom plate."

"Extremely rare, extremely heavy, and not fully functional: here is the fabled Synamp from Moog, interestingly a native UK voltage example. The power amp is not working, and the spring tank needs to be replaced. But this is what it does have working well even before servicing: a vintage Moog graphic with drive level control and overload LED, and four channels of comprehensive Moog parametric EQ, each with input gain with overload LED and effects send level, and three sweepable bands for each channel. Cosmetically, check the photos. The important parts are a good 7/10, but some of the rest is not. It's not pristine for sure. But it is a very special piece. CORRECTION: the tatty but original Moog wooden road case goes with the second Synamp in this auction, not this one. That means that there is no reverb tank at all with this one (the tank sits in one of the wooden case lids) - but a pretty simple job to house and connect a replacement. This example is still seriously heavy and solid without the wooden case.

There will be a second Synamp in this auction in non-working condition, and possibly the massive speaker cabinets (as seen) that they were designed to work with - though their huge power could only really be used in a decent sized space. See lots 30464 and 30465."

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 4: Original Soundtrack

video upload by Moog Music

"The soundtrack from the fourth episode of Synthesizing with Moog invites you to dive deep into one of the synthesizers signature components, the Voltage-Controlled Filter. While different oscillator shapes could create a bed of tone and harmonics, the Voltage-Controlled Filter allowed musicians to sculpt a distinct sound out of all those harmonics and even shape that sound over time.

We hope you enjoy this music created by Moog electronic musical instrument experts Max Ravitz ( / patriciaaa ) and Gunnar Haslam ( @lasynthesehumaine6932 ).

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 4: Resonance

video upload by Moog Music

"In 1964 the modular synthesizer was born, and one of its signature components was the Voltage-Controlled Filter. While different oscillator shapes could create a bed of tone and harmonics, the Voltage-Controlled Filter allowed musicians to sculpt a distinct sound out of all those harmonics and even shape that sound over time. A key component in synthesizing existing sounds, the Voltage-Controlled Filter was also capable of creating sounds no one had ever heard before, giving birth to whole new genres of music and defining the sound of electronic music to this day."

Kenton CV upgrade

Preset tone selectors with full manual override
Early Korg analog tone: warm, raw, and full of character

Generative Patches: DFAM+Mother-32+Subharmonicon. Jam Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

📚 DMS Generative is a collection of 25 patches for the semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32 + Subharmonicon. This genre of sound design is highly popular within modular culture, and the Moog Sound Studio offers an excellent feature set to explore it.
🎛 Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo shifts, pattern uniqueness, the alternation of short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, and glitchy bursts throughout sequences — all of these elements are part of the soundset.
🎚 Generative timbres can serve as a strong addition to, or the main element of, ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots or loops, and obtain unique material for further processing.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/moog...

🕹 The key idea behind the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined — they cannot exist independently:
🔹 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
🔹 A sequence from one synth may change parameters on another.
🔹 Trigger interactions, clock/rhythm, and run/stop modulations break predictable patterns.
🔹 Audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies, intervals, or wild experimental inharmonic tones.
🔹 Alternatively, they can be used as audio sources routed into another synth to be processed through its unique filter and envelope — giving the signal a “second life.”
DFAM, M32, and SUBH each play distinct and defined roles — it’s not a sound mess, but a tightly integrated system where the synths work in close cooperation.

Erik Norlander's Farfisa Compact Duo CD/30 Dual Keyboard Organ

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation

via this Reverb listing

"A rare vintage combo organ with that unmistakable Farfisa sound. Removable, fold-out bottom reveals fold-down legs (one or two screws missing but still functional) and hard-wired power cable. Cable connects to the external Farfisa F/AR unit which provides power and contains the spring reverb. This unit is functionally good but it could use some internal contact cleaning in a few areas. We coaxed some very usable tones out of it in the demo video! The case itself has been "well-loved," showing moderate surface scuffs from travel.

–

This is the Compact Duo CD/30, one of Farfisa’s higher-end models from the late ’60s; basically a two-manual version of the Compact with expanded voicing and richer tone-shaping options. A favorite among garage rockers, psych bands, and analog synth fans alike.

Features:

Two manuals (upper and lower keyboards) for split/layered playing
Vibrato, tone boost, and percussion controls
Bass and organ voices with classic Farfisa tabs
Mark I version
The Compact Duo was used extensively by Pink Floyd (Echoes, etc.); a favorite for its gritty tone and punchy presence on stage and in the studio.

30% of the sale supports the Bob Moog Foundation, preserving the legacy of electronic music and inspiring future generations."

The Florian Schneider Collection to Be Auctioned at JULIEN*S November 19

"THE FLORIAN SCHNEIDER COLLECTION

Auction to be held at Musician's Hall of Fame & Museum, Nashville, on November 19

An incredible collection of more than 450 artifacts from the life and career of Florian Schneider, co-founder of the pioneer electronic band Kraftwerk."

Pics and videos featuring some of the gear below, and his Lederhosen for good measure (thanks greg!).

Update: the post has been fully updated with all the synth related gear. This may just well be the longest post to be featured on the site. I wanted to capture all the pics for all of the details including notes, scuffs, and of course serial numbers. It's an interesting look into what he used, the condition he keped his gear, in some cases, how he actually used his gear. Note the phonetics on the keys of the Casio CZ-101 and DX-100. Note the Midi Switch Box with a built-in speaker? What's that about? Note the camouflage key strap on the Korg RK-100 Remote Keyboard. Did he pick it out himself or did the keytar just come with it? Note the repeat midi controllers and the MIDI saxaphones. Wind was his primary instrument. You'll find a ton of the acoustic gear he used in the other listings. This is a fascinating insight into both what and how he used his gear.

Rack Mount Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder

Starting Bid $5,000

Estimate $20,000 - $40,000 USD

A late 1970s Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder with no serial number from the personal studio and collection of Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (see images). While it’s said that only a few dozen of these Vocoders were produced, a few examples made it into the hands of forward-thinking musical artists including Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk, and of course, Kraftwerk, who used a VSM-201 like this on their albums Man Machine (1978) and Computerworld (1981). The VSM-201 has an intelligible sound that has not yet been bested by modern gear. Includes power cable. This VSM-201 has been removed from its wooden enclosure (which bears the serial number plate) and modified with a metal rack mount casing, presumably for live use. Requires 240v, IEC power cable not included.

Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 9 inches

Category: Kraftwerk, Equipment

Provenance: PROVENANCE From the Estate of Florian Schneider
