Mediamix Joystick Controller for Vintage Moog, ARP & Oberheim Synths

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"Made in the late 70's, this company Mediamix made these awesome joystick controllers that could be interfaced with Moogs, ARPs and Oberheim synthesizers. This one had been used with an Oberheim TVS-1 Two Voice Synthesizer. The controller is in excellent physical condition, but is untested and sold as-is. Obviously from the circular connector, it would take some modifications to the synthesizer to interface this, it's not plug and play."

You can see one installed in this Oberheim Four Voice FVS-1.

EMS Synthi A stolen from Synthorama

Some unfortunate news sent my way vis Swissdoc. Apparently someone has stolen an EMS Synthi from the Swiss synth museum Synthorama. You might recall the video walkthrough just posted here yesterday.

The following is via the curator of Synthorama, Martin Hollinger aka Airböurne (creator of the modular synth by the same name), on the Sequencer.de forum (translated via Google):

"Hello everyone

I finally managed to register on the forum. I'm the owner of the Synthorama and, due to a current event, I'd like to give you a brief update on the museum.

The Synthorama has been around for 25 years and serves to introduce synthesizers to a musically interested public. Almost all instruments can be played and tested here.

But you all already know that ;-)

Unfortunately, there are also people who misuse the museum. Since its inception, there have been four thefts, the fourth on August 2, 2025.

The first was about 15 years ago, when someone stole around 10 modules from one of my Moog modular systems while it was unattended and then filled the "holes" with other modules or even front panels. I didn't notice this for a long time because it wasn't that obvious.

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."

Paradise 😇 (Moog Minitaur // Waldorf Streichfett // Roland S1 // Volca Beats // Mininova // NDLR)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"An unexpected impromptu performance with the same setup as my previous video, hope you'll enjoy it! ❤️

The NDLR is sequencing with:
Drone track: the Moog Minitaur (BASS)
Pad track: the Waldorf Streichfett (PADS)
Motif-1 track: the Roland S1 (ARP)
Motif-2 track: the Roland S1 (ARP)

The DRUMS are coming from the Korg Volca Beats and the LEAD is being played in real-time on the Novation Mininova.

00:00 Intro
01:07 Improvised Solo
02:40 Bridge
03:14 Outro

A couple of tricks I used here:

I used the STUTTER EFFECT of the Volca Beats as a delay here on only one voice (not the master bus). First it's on the Open Hi-Hat and then swapped to the Closed Hi-Hat (creating a sixteenth note rhythm without changing pattern)

I'm using one of the NDLR's LFO (Square wave) to modulate the octave of the PADS.

I've used the hidden CHORUS of the S-1 synth to create the wide ARP 😉"

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."

AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator

video uploads by Scrapcode Modular - from 3 years ago

Playlist:

1. AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator - Product Overview
2. AXIOM - 9/8 Jam
3. AXIOM - Long Pattern

AXIOM is a Eurorack module based on the popular concept of the Euclidean Rhythm, where a defined number of HITS is evenly distributed throughout a sequence.

It allows two CV inputs for each if its four lanes – one for the number of HITS in each lane, and a second for either the number of STEPS in each sequence or for an OFFSET to its starting position.

Each sequence can be assigned a different length, causing the rhythms in each lane to move in and out of phase with one another. A pattern of up to 21,840 steps is possible before repeating if the right settings are chosen!*

An internal clock or external CV trigger can be used to progress the sequencer.

AXIOM is available as either a DIY Kit or as a fully assembled product.

For more information please visit www.scrapcode.co.uk

*Hint – use STEPS MODE and set the STEPS values to 13, 14, 15 and 16.

"Roger Linn is an innovative engineer, designer, and musician best known for creating the LinnDrum, one of the first drum machines to use digital samples of real drums. His groundbreaking instruments helped define the sound of 1980s pop, hip-hop, and R&B, and he later co-developed the Akai MPC series, a cornerstone of modern beat-making. Linn continues to push boundaries with expressive instruments like the LinnStrument.

In this video, Roger shares a story about meeting Bob Moog at NAMM.

Fully Serviced 1974 Moog White Elephant CDX-0652 Vintage Cordovox Combo Organ & Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Moog CDX 0652 video upload by tiff sea



via this Reverb listing

"This synthesizer/organ was nicknamed the 'White Elephant'. It was built in Italy in 1974 by Cordovox. It combines a Thomas organ with a Moog Satellite shared on the upper manual.

The synthesizer voices play only on the upper manual, while the organ voices play on both, with organ and synth sections simultaneously available on the upper manual. The CDX-0652 also includes a batch of 9 preset synthesizer voices which don't appear on a Moog Satellite. The sonic options available are vast, with banks of switches, buttons, and sliders to shape both the combo organ and Moog circuitry. The Moog bass signal can also be accessed on the lower manual and blended with the organ, and the combo organ even has a full percussion bank.

CDX-0652

A dual-manual combo organ with a Moog Satellite grafted onto it. I understand that the Satellite had a very thin sound, nothing like the MiniMoog. It had only a single oscillator and several preset sounds, similar to other semi-preset synths like the Arp Pro Soloist and the Roland SH-2000.

Thomas bought the rights to the Satellite from Moog. The CDX-0652 was designed by Thomas in cooperation with Cordovox. A Thomas version of the Satellite (the "Synthi 1055) and the CDX-0652 were both manufactured by EME, the same outfit that made most Italian Vox organs. Thomas also marketed the Satellite under the "Orbit" name on some of their home organs.

The synthesizer voices play only on the upper manual, organ voices play on both. Organ and synth voices may be played simultaneously on the upper manual. It includes a batch of 9 preset synthesizer voices that don't appear on a Satellite. Unlike the 0642, this one seems to have all of the organ features (many of which seem identical to the 0642) available on both keyboards.

Two Vintage Moog Sonic Sixes

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Synthchaser

One via this Reverb listing, also on eBay

2nd via this Reverb listing, also on eBay

Descriptions follow.

1st Sonic Six: "The Moog Sonic Six is a rare, portable analog synthesizer with classic Moog tone and ladder filter, featuring dual VCOs, sample-and-hold, ring modulation, and a built-in speaker—all housed in a rugged suitcase-style design perfect for studio or stage. Its unique sound-shaping capabilities including X/Y modulation, and vintage character make it a prized collector’s piece and a powerful tool for experimental or classic analog synthesis. While this synthesizer is often offered by sellers at a "high on crack" price, I am pleased to offer this one for less than half of what some delusional synth dealers are trying to get for it.

The synthesizer is in good condition, but the original "Moog" logo sticker on the outside was peeled off. The power switch does not illuminate when the synthesizer is powered on. The synthesizer uses a standard IEC power cord, and one will be included. Please see photos.

This Moog Sonic Six has been serviced by Synthchaser in August 2025. Work done included:

Cleaned switches, pots and sliders
Refurbished keybed - new bushings, cleaned bus bars & contacts
Tuned & Calibrated Synthesizer"

2nd Sonic Six: "This vintage Moog Sonic Six Suitcase Analog Synthesizer powers on and makes sound, but is being offered as-is at a discount due to cosmetic and functional issues. The A, X, and Y oscillators and the Moog Ladder filter appear to be working. This can be a great opportunity for someone willing to put a little work in to get this rare synthesizer below market. The synth is being sold as-is for parts or repair, with no returns.

Please see this video showing the functional status of the synthesizer. : [video above]

Issues I noticed (you may find other issues, but the synthesizer is still being sold as-is with no returns):

Cosmetic: A power cord has been hardwired to this unit in place of the power inlet. The exterior of the case is in rough looking condition and some screws are missing and things feel loose. The synthesizer is missing all knobs and switch caps. Some of the keys are stained. 2 rubber feet are missing, so the case needs something behind it to stay open when in use.

Functional: Oscillator B appears to be dead. The ring modulator appears to not be working (perhaps due to oscillator B not working, ring mod was not tested with external input). Key contacts are dirty and not working well, bushings need to be replaced. The contour generator appears to be broken. The Contour/Pitch Control pot for the filter was replaced with a pot that doesn't extend fully through the panel, so you can't use it. Pots, sliders and switches need cleaning. Calibration needed."

DeaR Sun 🖤 (Moog Minitaur / Waldorf Streichfett / Roland S1 / Korg Volca Beats / Novation Mininova)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This is one of my most personal jams, hope you'll enjoy it 🖤

The NDLR is sequencing with:
Track 1: the Moog Minitaur (BASS)
Track 2: the Waldorf Streichfett (STRINGS)
Track 3: the Waldorf Streichfett (PLUCKS)
Track 4: the Roland S1 (ARP)

The DRUMS are coming from the Korg Volca Beats and the LEAD is being played in real-time on the Novation Mininova.

A couple of tricks I used here:
The Waldorf Streichfett has 2 engines (STRINGS + SOLO), which can be played independently if needed. This is what I did here, where Track 3 of the NDLR is sequencing the SOLO engine, and Track 2 the STRINGS engine.

I'm using one of the NDLR's LFO (Random wave) to modulate (by sending CC) the TONE parameter of the Waldorf Streichfett SOLO engine.

I've used a second LFO on the NDLR to modulate of the parameter the octave parameter of Track 1 (called the DRONE track on the NDLR) which is sequencing the Minitaur, hence playing from time to time a note with an octave higher 😉"

Moog Minimoog Voyager Aluminum Edition SN 014 w/ Black Central Panel

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

Compared the top middle panel to others in previous posts here.

"Basically the sickest, sleekest, stone cold coolest Voyager of all time. To say it's rare is an understatement. They only made 100 "Aluminum Edition" Voyagers and less than a handful of those were made with the all black front panel. I've been following these for years and I've only ever seen two including this one.

The all black panel wasn't the original design speck for the Aluminum Voyagers - as you can see from other Aluminum Voyagers on Reverb and from pictures online. I showed it to a friend who worked at Moog for 10+ years as their main repair tech and he'd never seen one, but speculated that it was probably custom built at their factory by an employee who built it custom for themselves.

But whatever the case, it's absolutely stunning and really modernizes the the look of the synth. The Aluminum Edition is cool, but this thing looks like a Ferrari! Easily the coolest piece of kit to come through the studio. Not a scratch on it! Comes with a gooseneck lamp and a Moog rolling rack case (that's immaculate as well)."

"The SH-3 was produced for only one year- 1974, before making a filter change marketed as the SH-3a. I have heard that the 3a has the Moog style filter and the 3 has a EMS style diode filter. I think it has a character all its own. I think the SH-3 is closer to what Roland had intended to to release and it sounds fantastic."
