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."

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 3: Vibrations

video upload by Moog Music

"Sound is a phenomenon of vibrations in the air. In this episode, we look at the source of vibrations on the synthesizer – the oscillator. We investigate how to tune the oscillator to a particular note and how to add oscillators together. We also dive into the topics of harmonics, looking at how the shape of oscillation creates distinct tones with different harmonic characteristics.

Synthesizing with Moog

"'Synthesizing with Moog' invites you on an enlightening journey that answers a complex question: how exactly do synthesizers work? https://inmusic.to/bdhnff3m

In this first episode we go back into twentieth century history to understand the origins of electronic music, discussing concepts like modular design and voltage control to learn how they combined to make the synthesizer instrument we know and love today. We then pose some questions to try and understand how listening works. How is sound created in the air? What does a speaker do and how does a synthesizer control it? How does the ear work? And finally, how do our brains perceive the sound around us? Listening, after all, is the foundation of any musical practice.

EML Electronic Music Laboratories ElectroComp 400/401 Rare 70s Analog Semi Modular Synth Sequencer

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

SN 460 via this listing

Additional Three Wave Music Listings

"Rare Synth/Sequencer in incredible condition! EML made only 300 of these. Serial numbers started at 400 I believe, from what I’ve read they start with each model number. Completely checked through and serviced. Works and sounds great, really unique HUGE sound and a really fun sequencer. We have a great record of putting a lot of care into our shipments and will ship protected. Instrument quality and playability is well documented please ask if you need any other pics or vids. Would make an amazing stage or studio instrument. A couple small scratches on the back, as pictured, slight patina on handle.

EML's 400/401 ElectroComp is a rare semi-modular analog synthesizer/sequencer that first appeared in 1970 and although it was produced until 1984, roughly 300 were made. The synthesizer (401) component can be considered a scaled down version of the EML 500 in some ways. It looks very similar in color and layout but lacks a built-in keyboard. It retains patch-cord signal patching and editing associated with modular synths as well as some switches. Dual VCOs produce a monophonic analog sound which can be shaped by the multimode resonant VCF (filter) with switchable hi, low and band pass filtering. Only sawtooth, square and noise waveforms are available from the oscillators. The envelope section offers only attack and release control (the EML 500 envelope section added sustain).

Complementing the EML 401 modular component is the 400 system which, as seen above, is covered with dozens of switches and sliders. Basically it's an analog sequencer component. It is a 12-tone diatonic sequencer with a digitally controlled voltage quantizer built-in - a sophisticated feature for the time. This allows for a variable number of steps-per-octave ranging from 5 to 60...a very unusual feature which makes the unit very useful for those exploring alternate/microtonal tunings. It also offered voltage controlled envelope generators in 16 stages! These could be programmed for creating pretty wild sequences and patterns.

The EML 400 and 401 system was a response to the popular Moog and ARP modulars from the era. It offered new ways of synthesizing classic analog sounds which may not have been better than its competition, but it certainly was unique. Today these rare instruments can still be found in use by synth anoraks around the world."

Moog Introduces the DFAM | Drummer From Another Mother for the Masses

Published on Jan 11, 2018 Moog Music Inc

Moog's Drummer From Another Mother will soon be available to the masses. The DFAM was introduced as a DIY build-only percussion synthesizer at last year's Moogfest. Anyone who visits MATRIXSYNTH should be well familiar with the DFAM from numerous demo videos from the lucky owners. For those who missed out on the original, you will now be able to purchase your own built by Moog. And it's black, compared to the original. The press release follows. Further below you will find additional details and pics.

"January 11, 2018, Asheville, NC -- Today Moog Music introduces the Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM), the first addition to the Mother eco-system of semi-modular analog synthesizers. DFAM is an original electronic instrument for the exploration of new concepts in rhythm and resonance.

Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) is a highly-interactive, Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer and a vibrant deviation from the traditional drum machine--presenting an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation.

DFAM’s fully analog circuitry behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to input from different individuals. Moog Music enlisted three artists to demonstrate the sounds of the new instrument: DJ Haram, Stud1nt and Umfang--all members of NY’s Discwoman collective. Watch as they explore the new Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer from their own personal creative spaces:

DFAM is the first addition to the Mother ecosystem of electronic instruments and each DFAM includes a package of patch cables, inviting interconnectivity via the synthesizer’s 24-point modular patchbay. Create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 synthesizers together, or fully integrate this analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.

Each DFAM is lovingly designed, assembled, calibrated and tested in Asheville, NC by the employee-owners at Moog Music and has already begun shipping from the Moog Factory to Authorized Moog Music Dealers worldwide.

Starting next week, from Jan 15- Jan 24, Moog will offer free hour-long DFAM workshops facilitated by Alissa DeRubeis and Felisha Ledesma of S1 Synth Library to the west coast subscribers of the Moog Music Newsletter.

Right now, the DFAM synthesizer is part of an interactive interspecies installation at the Cactus Store in Echo Park. Entitled BioRhythmia, the installation uses electromyography sensors to measure the electric energies of a 30 year old cactus. The plant’s energies are converted into analog control voltages (CV), enabling the cactus (a mutant species originally from Bali, but now extinct in the wild) to “play” the synthesizer. Different conditions, different times of day, even different experiences with human passer-bys can affect what the cactus decides to play."

"DFAM is the first addition to the Mother ecosystem of synthesizers and presents an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation. It requires no patching, and absolutely no experience is needed for human-beings of any age to quickly begin synthesizing new and unique rhythmic compositions.

Activated by an easy-to-use analog sequencer, DFAM’s emotive sound begins with a white noise generator and two wide-range analog oscillators - effortlessly transitioning between rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass and resonant bells in an instant. DFAM’s distinctive voice is then shaped by a classic Moog Ladder filter with two selectable modes: Low Pass mode imparts impact and dimension to each sound it touches, while High Pass mode opens the door to naturally expressive strikes, spikes and clangorous accentuations.

DFAM behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to different individuals. 3 dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure that tribal toms breathe, industrial impacts evolve, and sonic chaos can be created or subdued at the turn of a knob.

Each DFAM ships with a package of Moog patch cables that unlock access to the 24-point modular patchbay. Use it to create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 units together, or fully integrate your analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.

Through exploration and experimentation, the vast potential of this expressive analog instrument is realized.

ZW BASSMACHINE rare Wasp style analog synth with Moog style filter

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

via this auction

"ZW BASSMACHINE
Rare Swiss/Italian monophonic analog synth.

Good cosmetic condition example of the incredibly rare ZW-Electronics Bassmachine, which as far as I can find out is a Swiss-Italian design made in extremely small numbers.

I have heard this one working, but it's currently silent, and so sold as in need of repair. This may be as simple as a loose cable in the power supply, so possibly an easy fix.

Two oscillators can be tuned apart or transposed, and there are 10 preset buttons. The sounds are strong and analog, resembling a Wasp or Roland Bassline - while there are no controls for filter etc, the presets vary these settings for you. Internally you can see the distinctive transistor ladder of a Moog-style lowpass filter design.

Intended for collection in NW London and payment in cash. I will ship, cost will be around £20 with Parcelforce in the UK, more overseas, but I don't acceot payment methods which are subject to unexplained delays and fraudulent reversal. Other methods properly regulated by UK banking authorities are fine - bank transfer for example shows up in 15 minutes, is completely secure and creates a permanent record of your transaction. All my 100% positive feedback comes from transactions using either cash on collection or bank transfer, and no other method.

Listed as internally complete but non-working so absolutely no returns. Feel free to make contact with any questions while the listing is running.

Happy Synthesizing!

Sequences can be chained into Songs and edited live while performing.

This unit's in very good condition complete with rack ears and a UK power supply. Some slight front panel and rackmount scratches.

I'd prefer collection in London but I'll ship to the UK, Europe and the USA, after full cleared irreversible payment. I don't accept any payment method which allows unscrupulous buyers to have funds deducted from the seller's bank account while still in possession of their goods, specifically I DON'T ACCEPT PAYPAL, as I only accept payment methods including bank transfer which are subject to UK and international banking regulators.
