"MOOG VOCODER - as used on many Monty Python productions

The Gear Garage is very proud to be presenting a fine collection of Monty Python Equipment in very good condition, well looked after and featured on many famous recordings with a unique heritage.

The Moog Vocoder we have here is recognisable from their recording of 'Here comes another one.'

Besides from being a superb and rare instrument it is a piece of history unlike any other. Anyone looking to buy such an article may consider this as an investment as well as a creative tool. Very likely to gain in value on both counts. NOW WITH ORIGINAL MANUAL!

Works perfectly. Good Condition."

YouTube via gearwire
"Join Gearwire's Bill Holland and Korg's R3 for this walkthru where we take a peek at the main panel pluses packed on this petite synthesizer with pleasingly playable keys. Bill plays some popular patches that have been preset in a "favorites" section.

Of course, we don't forget to show a little love to the built-on vocoder. Stay tuned for more of the R3.

Vector Surgeon 1.0

"Hello, good evening, and welcome to Vector Surgeon, the Prophet VS editor/librarian.

What The Program Does
The program currently performs the following functions:
* Transmit and receive patches, singly or in banks, between your computer and your Prophet.
* Load and save patches, singly or in banks, between your computer and its disk drive.
* Transmit and receive banks of waves between your computer and your Prophet.
* Load and save banks of waves between your computer and its disk drive.
* Graphically view banks of patches, allowing copy & paste etc in the same window or between windows.
* Graphically view patches, allowing edits of most parameters.
* Edits of parameters are sent live to the Prophet, in theory keeping computer & Prophet in sync.
* For a nice surprise, turn on MIDI parameter transmit, then do some edits on the Prophet and watch the computer screen.

What The Program Does Not Do
The program does not currently perform the following functions:

* Editing or single transfer of user waves. Sorry. Soon, though.
* Er...
* That's it. Maybe you can find more things it doesn't do :-)"

Cell Phone Synth

spotted this one on modd3d. You can see a video of it here.
"The cell phone piano. Each key on the keyboard is wired into a key on a cell phone - as you play, you are also dialing. The channels are mixed together and amplified through speakers. Every sound the piano makes is generated by one of the four phones. The white keys play notes and the black keys are people saying the number out loud - English on the left hand and Spanish on the right. Some white keys were left over and I made those percussion instruments (the "*", "END", and "#" keys)."

Modular synth controlled from MaxMSP

Modular synth controlled from MaxMSP from Andreas Wetterberg on Vimeo.
"MaxMSP is sending out amplitude variations of a squarewave. This audio signal is fed into an envelope follower, which generates the pitch of the sequence.

The rest is just me futzing about. I'm really hoping to find the *cough* 'time' *cough* to expand this system soon."

Synsonics Model# 5300

via this cl listing, via Jeremy who'd like to know if anyone out there knows more about these. The shots aren't the greatest, but I've never seen or posted one before. Click on the Synsonic label below for posts on other Synsonic electronic drums. via the listing: "Synsonic Model# 5300 ----THESE ARE NOT HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL ELECTRIC DRUMS, but instead, it is a fun set of four drums & a base drum that makes various tones (& some drum/cymbal sounds) that can be altered & played around with. I bought this set about 18 years ago for about $350."

Update: Jeremy found a close-up of the control box on Audio Playground (keyboardmuseum.com) here, via the Synsonics page.
