Panther Modules

"Designed by Ken Stone, and bought to market by Laurie Biddulph of Elby Designs, TheBeast is proud to present The Panther Modular.

The module range is intended to work within the current market framework, set out by doepfer, analogue systems, et.al, but, insted of simply offereing yet another 'moog ladder' filter, to offer some truely unique modules, be it in function (Ken's 'Super Psycho LFO' is a fortcomming module) or in sound (try recreating the Steiner filter eleswhere!)

These modules, of course, are fully compatible with the Eurorack systems offered by Doepfer, Plan-B, Analogue Solutions, and the like, and electronically compatible with Analogue Systems modules, although different power cables must be used."

Sonic Boom and His EMS Synthi AKS

Click here for more images via Charlotte.

Update: The doll according to Charlotte now resides with Sonic Boom. She made it two years ago and gave it to him when she went to see him live. Her brother made his head, you can see more of his quality work here (pretty cool smurf art). I asked Charlotte if she had a website to see more of her work. She doesn't, but she is part of the beloved Tigersushi Corporation. You'll find some interesting posts there. She likes to work collectively with her bother. "I would love to make more action figures from musicians and of course moreover playing analog synths, well... maybe one day."

Moog Freqbox mf-107 Oscillator. Hexfix93’s Take.

You can find the full take here.

"The moog freqbox, a versatile fx pedal unit that can be used as an oscillator in a modular synth setup. When I first plugged them in, I noticed how huge they sounded. How alive. They reminded me of the older moog stuff, like tarus pedals and model d minimoog. With two, the oscillators would beat and sound pretty vintage. These things are FAT. The biggest. The sync sounds were so mean and huge, it would make my whole house shake. I ran these into my doepfer custom eurorack filled with rare boutique modules. I loves how the moog oscillators sounded through the polivoks filter the most. I prefered these oscillators for BASS duties. There is this warm beef that you get in the 60 to 200hz range on the low end of the frequency spectrum. No other synths and oscillators can pump this style of sound out. These pedals really did sound more vintage to me than the little phatty and the new minimoog voyagers. They had plenty of high end frequencies which I think are lacking a tad on the newer moog synths."

Moog Guitar review spotted

'Hello to all!

I just returned from the Ethermusic Festival, sponsered by Moog Music, in Asheville, NC.

Prior to my set on Thursday night, Jason Danillo from Moog Music expertly demo'd a new product from Moog Music that is simply called:
"The Moog Guitar".

I am not a guitarist myself however I was very impressed with what I learned and heard about this product. I run the risk of sounding like a "salesperson" however I want to share with you what I learned and heard regarding the Moog Guitar.

My first impression of this instrument is that it was an electric guitar with built in (software driven) fx in the body of the guitar. And I would add, super CLEAN fx. And the infinite sustain, for example, was INFINITE with no noise, glitches, etc. However, my guess about the theory of operation was mistaken.

The guitar utilizes built-in ebows -- I'm not sure how many are built into the guitar however there is a least one per string. As many readers here know, the ebow imparts energy to a string to set it into vibration and keep it vibrating forever. The engineers at Moog took things to another level -- for ebow technology can do the opposite: it can be used to remove energy from a string, too.

Each string is independently settable -- some can sustain, others can sound in the normal (unsustained manner), others can produce a staccatto pluck -- in fact, on [sic] of the sounds is a strum followed by a bow. This is all user-settable. Jason strummed a chord and as the chord died down a "bowed string chorus" came up -- as if an entire string section was doubling Jason's guitar part.

My first thought was: Ohhh... my looping friends would LOVE this.
And the tone was really clean. During Jason's demo, he mentioned that some people can't believe that this is all being done on the strings until he unplugs the guitar and folks listen to the strings themselves.

I look forward to hearing the "buzz" about this product among the looping community as well as the theremin community (which includes many guitarists and loopers).

While ebows have been around for awhile, this new product takes things to another level.

Best wishes to Moog Music. May the new Moog Guitar inspire many musicians and be another success story for Moog Music.

All the best to one and all.'"
