COTK Modular Video on Dailymotion

Moog Modular
Uploaded by deb76

Found a new video source, Dailymotion. This video was uploaded by deb76. I'm wondering if this is our good friend deb7680 of Chroniques De La Mao. Deb, if you are out there, let us know.

Update via the comments:
"That's not a moog, it's a Club of the knobs modular.

You can sort of see it on this clip too."

"I second that - it is COTK-modular. There are plenty more videos on their page"

Thanks, title updated. I can't change the video name as I didn't put it up.

Remember the OP-X? The site's been updated a bit. Title link takes you to some samples and more info. And yes, there is a sample of Van Halen's Jump.

Moog Little Phatty Samples by Eric Frampton

Title link takes you to a 1.4M mp3 of Eric Frampton strolling through the Little Phatty presets.

"This is me very quickly going through some of the presets. No sequencers, no production, just a line out of the LP into ProTools, editing for time, normalized, and nuttin' else."

Thanks Eric!

EKO PONY Synth

via this auction.

If you know more about this piece, please comment, but it just looks like one of those combo string/brass/organ keyboards with preset rhythms. The auction details compares it to a Juno 60. Yeah right. Buyer beware. Interesting piece though. I'm putting this up for the archives...

Handmade Electronic Music

"Early electronic music (& the recording of music itself) was born of experimenting artists & engineers, patiently listening to the bleeps, swoops and crackles of electricity as it flowed through components loving soldered together by hand. The early pioneers of electronic music had to build their own instruments from scratch, finding new sounds as they went, inventing entirely new musical languages & forms, pulling new sounds from the ether.

In Nicolas Collins’ book ‘Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking we shake off the bounds of mass produced software, of expensive consumer electronics and re-enter the exploratory worlds of early electronic experimentalists such as David Tudor & Alvin Lucier, riding the pulsating waves of sonic history through to contemporary hardware hackers & instrument builders such as Xentos ‘Fray’ Bentos, Phil Archer, John Bowers & of course Nicolas Collins himself."

Update: consensus in the comments is that this is a good book.

BTW, If you are into handmade electronic music also check out the NORCAL Noisefest. via Brian Comnes.

Roger Odonnell on Sonic State

Podcast and downloadable mp3 on Sonic State.

"We've got a bit of a treat for you all this week - we're talking Roger Odonnell who's been a touring and studio keyboard player since the 1980's where he began by playing with 80's pop sensation The Thompson Twins, then moving on to the Psychedelic Furs and finally a long stint with The Cure.

Roger talks to us about his recent work - including a new album titled "The Truth In Me" which was recorded entirely on the Moog Voyager, his involvement with the new Harmonic Table AXIS controller, the 80's and various thoughts on a number of synths."

Synthesizer Service Vintage Synth Price List

We all know PrePal. Title link takes you to another price list. This one by the Synthesizer Service Center. The prices are in GBP, but you can easily convert them here.

Update: General consensus is that this is not a price list, but a list of what they have in stock. Dealer prices are usually higher so that's obviously something to consider.
