MOOG Voyager Signature Edition with Modwheel LFO Mod

images via this auction

"The signature edition is a collector's item due to Bob Moog's signature of only 600 made. This one is in absolutely mint condition with version 2.5 software and looks just as it did the day I first took it out of the box. It has that awesome Moog sound and is a joy to play and one can spend hours with this thing creating most any sound you can think of...if you are reading this then you already know what it is capable of. I am the original owner and was one of the first 172 to submit my order when Moog first released to the press that they were building 600 of these. I quickly placed my order and this is serial #172 with the cherry wood cabinet. This particular voyager is unique in a way that it has the mod wheel flashing in sync with the LFO rate. I had Moog do this modification after I thought of the idea thinking it would be a cool looking effect to have the mod wheel flash in relation to whatever rate the LFO is set. It is an amazing looking effect watching the blue-lit Mod wheel glowing on and off slowly in the dark or flashing rapidly depending on how the rate speed is set. This is the only known voyager in existence that has this unique feature."

Alesis Andromeda Mix Maker

"The Alesis A6 Andromeda is without any doubt the most powerful and flexible analog polysynth ever made. But all that power and flexibility comes at a price: complexity. The sheer number of patch parameters is almost overwhelming yet most can be easily controlled with all those knobs and switches.

But it's quite a different story for multi-timbral Mix setups. The A6 display is more than adequate for most tasks but using it to set up a Mix can be awkward, tedious and quite error-prone. Mix Maker was designed to make that process a lot easier and user-friendly by providing a familiar and intuitive mixing desk interface to those 'hidden' Mix parameters." [link]

ANDROMIZER 1.2

Random patch generator for the Alesis Andromeda A6.

"Tired of your A6 always sounding the same? (Yeah right ;-)

ANDROMIZE it!



ANDROMIZER is a utility designed to screw up your Alesis Andromeda's current program edit buffer. Utterly, completely, and irretrievably.

ANDROMIZER sends series of MIDI sysex messages to your A6, automatically changing lots of program parameters to random values. The result can be stored in patch memory or tweaked until doomsday and then stored, or even discarded on the fly.

What to expect?
Your instant, self-running, aleatoric chaos patch will not appear just using a randomizer. Remember that the only thing this tool does, is: to give a host of parameters totally random values. Most often, after a complete run of ANDROMIZER, what you will hear is complete silence, because most combinations of parameter values in a system like this just do not make sense. I have tried to reduce the number of useless configurations... but not too much, since such a selection process necessarily means applying personal taste. Be prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking, trying to figure out why the bloody thing sounds like it does (or does not make any sound at all), and how to make it sound more to your liking...

How to use it?
In all the ways it wasn't designed for, how else? :-) Seriously, I could tell you how I've used it successfully to create some remarkable sounds, but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? The only advice I will share: be selective about which modules to randomize. Not all of them are equally useful. And don't forget you can use the Normalize button to (wholly or partly) initialize your patch to default values."

MOOG CEMS X-Y Controllers

currently up for auction on VEMIA.
"RA Moog X-Y controllers all in a row. These five, serial numbers 1002-5 and 1008, are part of the CEMS custom Moog system. Joel Chadabe and the other guys who used the system would set up elaborate interacting sequences with the eight 960/962s, delays, VC mixers etc., and then tweak them with these joysticks."
