Moog Offers Free CP-251 with Any Synth Purchase Through December

"ASHEVILLE, N.C. (November 14, 2008) – Effective immediately, through December 31, 2008, Moog Music is offering a free CP-251 Control Processor ($399 value) with the purchase of any Minimoog Voyager, Old School or Little Phatty synthesizer from an authorized Moog dealer.

Details are available at moogmusic.com/controllers/.

The CP-251, which offers a four input CV mixer, lag processor, multiple waveform LFO, two attenuators, four-way multiple, noise source, and sample & hold circuit, is an historical link to the original, large Moog modular synthesizers from the ‘60s, like the one used in Switched-on Bach. Based on Control Voltage technology, The CP-251 expands the sonic potential of all Moog instruments; from the Minimoog Voyager to The Moog Guitar.

d-20

"unpacking the d-20 i purchased from ebay."
This reminds me of an Orange and Black ARP Odyssey I picked up on Ebay. It was in pristine physical condition. Superbly packed with a ton of bubble wrap. As I was opening it and seeing a glimpse of the synth I was thinking of how great of a packing job the seller did, until... I get to the synth. The person had taped the bubble wrap to the synth itself including the side panels! I managed to get the wrapping off with minimal damage except for a pinky nail sized bit of one of the side panel's finish.

"Recorded on 3 stereo tracks. All sounds from the MS-10, delay and reverb from the Lexicon MX300. The hardest part is to sync the LFO (modulation generator) with the delay effect."

JoyKontrol

via Seb's Synth-DIY Page where you will find more info.

"Too many knobs to tweak? Ever wish you had more hands? The JoyKontrol allows control of up to 12 parameters with just 2 hands! It has both analog CV outputs and MIDI output.

Each joystick is 3-axis (X - left/right, Y - up/down, Z - anti-clockwise/clockwise) and the MIDI output can be configured to send a different controller message for each direction of movement. This allows up to 6 different MIDI parameters to be controlled from a single joystick. (Keeping things purely in the analog domain there are 3 CV outputs per joystick.)

The joysticks used are hall effect devices, so there's no pot tracks to wear out (it's all done with magnetic fields). They are typically used in industrial control, wheelchairs, etc. so they are very rugged - perfect for some hardcore tweaking!

The analog CV outputs go from -5V to +5V, centering at 0V. The MIDI side of things is completely configurable:
* There are 5 settings memories.
* Each axis of a joystick can be configured to send a single MIDI controller, pitch bend, aftertouch or program change message, or to send a different MIDI message when moved in each direction.
* The DATA knob can also be configured to send MIDI (and the sent value is displayed, so this is useful for example for program change messages).
* The range of the sent MIDI values is configurable, and the minimum value may be greater than the maximum value to invert the polarity of the output.
* When editing, the controller type and minimum/maximum values can be 'learned' from the MIDI input."
