"quick Malgorithm demo DL for mp3.

basic: M15 saw, at 2:15 in change to Sine, modulation provided by Dual Cyclotron and M10 into Malgorithm and Dalek Modulator into M15. that is all.

then into JoeMeek MC2 then Chameleon Labs 7602s into FireFace 800.

tweaking M15 freq and Dalek some, most changes are from adjustments on the Malg. esp. the volv switches. An amazing module!"

"there are 10knobs for control synthetic sound and touch sensitive drum pad SENS,PITCH,SUB SONIC,FILTER,NOISE,DECAY,BEND,CLICK,FILTER MOD,VOLUME so you can tweak around these knobs and easily get warm and phat analog synth sound from deep bass drum like TR808 or TR909 to industrial noise percussion or spacey disco tom sound! it's very easy and funny to create your own sounds and play it with pad. it also has MIX INPUT,SIGNAL OUTPUT,PAD OUT/IN,DC 12V IN,DC 12V OUT PAD OUT/IN accepts trigger or audio signal so you can also control from your drum machine."

"There are a couple of modifications (done before I got it): Audio In and Out jacks are 1/4" instead of the normal 1/8". There is an extra switching potentiometer next to the CV-IN jack which controls GLIDE. A minor drawback for this knob is that the pitch voltage drops a tiny bit when it clicks from OFF to ON.

I will include information on adding/switching patchpoints so that you can change the I/O configuration or modularize the SEM by adding many more patchpoints. There is also a company making a MIDI In retrofit."

MOOG Minimoog

"Mike at ModuSonics totally cleaned her up, replaced all jacks, added an oscillator buffer board(an original Moog upgrade) for better tuning, CV/Gate In's and Out's, cleaned up the cabinet, etc... etc... I added a picture of the invoice to this auction. Total cost of clean up and upgrades were $1620 USD. Mike worked for the Original Moog Music in the 70's and 80's and used original parts that he had from the old company and had acquired over time.

This Minimoog is in incredible condition for it's age and stays in tune better than some of my newer analog synths!! Everything functions 100% and looks great!!

Serial # 2960 means it has the oscillators that are the most sought after for their sound. Newer Model D's had more stable oscillators, but lacked a little in fatness. Having had the Oscillator buffer board added, these super-fat Oscillators are extremely stable, even right after you power it on.

The CV/Gate jacks let you send and receive CV and Gate signals. You can use it to play your modular synth or use a sequencer that sends CV/Gate signals to play it!! Mike also added a on/off switch for the Glide, so that if you are using it with a sequencer you can turn the glide fully off!!

This is an excellent example of a 100% functional Minimoog that should last someone forever with low maintainance every few years.

Auction Includes: The Minimoog Model D Serial # 2960 in said condition and a copy of the ModuSonics repair invoice.

Akai AX60

"The Akai AX60 is a 6-voice polyphonic programmable analog synthesizer with a 5-octave, 61-note (C-C) keyboard. Each voice consists of only one VCO (switchable between sawtooth, triangle, pulse, or noise waves), however, the filter section features a VCF (Low Pass) with an additional high-pass filter. Fortunately Akai included an Autotune button to tune all of its VCO's and VCF's. There is a single Envelope Generator, an ADSR with additional controls for amount ("depth level") and delay (delay before the attack begins). The "depth level" controls the maximum level of the envelope as well as the sustain level. The AX60 was one of the last analog synths to have knobs and sliders. There are a total of 25 sliders and two knobs. All controls, including split points and effects, are stored in one of its 64 memory locations. There is a handy Edit Recall button to reset the parameters for a patch. Also included is an effects section featuring digital delay and chorus.

The AX60 came with very limited MIDI implementation and no velocity sensitivity. However, it does feature a MIDI THRU plug. It is bi-timbral using the keyboard split points as well as through MIDI. It also features a unison mode making it a 6-VCO mono-synth. The AX60 has a good arpeggiator with an external sync socket.

The keyboard can be split in two at any key with each controller or effect applied to either of both halves of the split. There are 8 memory locations to store programmable split points. The voices can be split in one of the following configurations (left-right) 6-0, 4-2, 2-4, or 0-6 (unfortunately not 3-3). The reason for including splits that have no oscillators on one side is for when the AX60 is used in conjunction with an Akai sampler as explained below.

One of the nice features about this synthesizer is that it has a 13-pin input that alows you to hook it up to an Akai sampler (S612/700, X7000) and input the samples to be processed with the AX60's internal synth engine (VCF's, VCA's, effects, etc...). Combined with the keyboard splitting capabilities, this alows you to play the sampler via one of the split sides. The sampler/AX60 combination is unique in that it is one of the few ways that samples can be treated with real analog filters."
