"Moog Realistic MG-1 (genuine 24dB/oct Moog filter) with mobius sequencer"
"The MG-1 is a 2-VCO monophonic/polyphonic analog synth with a genuine 24dB/oct Moog filter. On the MG-1, the VCOs are referred to as 'Tone Generators'. It can produce sawtooth, square and pulse waveforms, and the oscillators are detunable and syncable. A simple ASR (attack, sustain, release) envelope called 'Contour' can be applied to both the amp and the filter. The LFO section provides triangle or square wave patterns as well as Sample-and-Hold. Additionally there is a simple Ring-Mod effect called 'Bell'.

Unique to the MG-1 is a slider on the far right side of the keyboard which controls the volume of a simple 10-voice polyphonic organ sound. This feature makes it at least a little more versatile than theRogue. There are 1/4inch inputs and outputs, Pitch-Trigger (CV- Gate), Stereo Out, Aux In (Filter In). It is used by Peter Gabriel, Nortec, 808 State, Remy Shand, and KMFDM."

MPC5000 Demo Track

via Boele of SCD:

"I am betatesting the new MPC5000, which has a VA synth on board. And a quite good sounding one as well. Did a demosong for it.

SynthSCD.mp3

It has a three voice synth on board with all kinds of filters (some
*very* good sounding ones!), two ADSR's, 2 LFO's, sync, crossmodulation, ringmodulation, noise, etc.
The VCOs have sine, sawtri (really from saw to triangle wave), Pulse, White Noise, Pink Noise, Red Noise and PWM)
Filters: Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, BandStop, BandBoost, Model 1, Model 2, Model 3, Vocal 1, Vocal 2 and Vocal 3. Most filters with choosable 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles!
Envelopes are snappy. There is a stereo spread that positions the indivual position of each VCO in the stereofield.
There is great arpeggiator as well, plus you can route the synth through the build in effects (to many to mention, and very nice ones in there as well).
The synth is *completely* controlable with the so called Q link
controllers: 12 buttons, 8 knobs and 4 sliders. The user interface is very cool.

The song is pure MPC, only the drums are samples (also from the MPC).

Regards, Boele"

The MacBeth M5 "Love Machine"

click here for a couple more shots of the blue and white Tim Love MacBeth M5, sent my way directly from the man himself, Ken MacBeth:
"That is a custom M5 designed for artist and producer Tim 'Love' Lee some two or so years ago. I called it the 'Love Machine'... For your viewers' interest- here are some other pics =] Looking back at it, I think it has an almost futuristic meets art deco flavour!

Regards to all, Ken"

Buchla 222e Shipping

"I thought your readers would be interested to know that Buchla and Associates is finally shipping their 222e, Multi-Dimensional Kinesthetic input port module(s). I picked up mine friday and have not taken the rings off since:) This system will be featured quite a bit on the upcoming Fuxa record, "Electric Sound of Summer" due out later this year."

Thanks Tom! That is one gorgeous system.
