Roland System 100 Model 102

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"The Expander 102 section is a keyboard-less version of the 101, designed to stand upright and behind the main Synthesizer 101. More than one Expander 102 can be added to make your system fatter and fatter! The Expander is identical to the Synthesizer except that it replaces Portamento/Glide effects with a Sample-and-Hold feature for the LFO, the Noise gen. Is replaced by a Ring Modulator, and the A-440 tuning osc. Is replaced by weak/strong sync inputs and a mix-in jack. The Expander is an excellent way to add more oscillators and synth effects (the s&h and ring-mod) to a System 100. The oscillators can be synced if you have both modules. The 101 & 102 are already internally patched and ready to produce sounds, but that can be bypassed by external patching."

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 (1980)

"We Miss You, Bob" via the Bob MOOG Foundation

"As you may have realized, today is the second anniversary of Bob's death. We talked about a lot of things we might say today, but in the end, it all came down to "We miss you, Bob."

We hope you'll take just a minute today to remember him in your own way. Maybe turn on the Voyager, listen to a favorite Moog artist, or picture him in your mind's eye.


If you'd like, stop by our MySpace page to leave us a note. Post your thoughts on MySpace

All the best,
The Bob Moog Foundation
Make a gift 'In Bob's memory...'"

x0xchild - Roland Drumatix TR-606 Finds its Way Home

via Ghostdog.

Here's a story for you. Ghostdog's first drum machine was the Roland TR-606. He picked it up when he was 14. Eventually he sold it. 25 years later he picked one up again. When he looked at the serial number, it was the same exact one. No joke.

Here is a shot of the TR-606 and his son OSCar. Cool name! I wonder if he'll write it with the capital OSC when he gets older.

TinySynth monophonic hybrid synthesizer
Tiny Synth is a simple, may be minimum, compact and integrated synthesizer. It was developed around a single MIDI controlled digital oscillator, including too a VCF, VCA, LFO, and AR ASR envelope generators.
The main project idea was to keep as simple as possible the construction and calibration, with a relatively cheap cost.
