Pointless Noodling on the Moog Opus3

YouTube via mee3d

"More noodling, this time on the opus 3 combi-organ/synth from Moog. Many years ago on the moogmusic forum I was asked to put up some examples of the Opus but never got round to it so here is a little video instead. This particular unit was recently sold on ebay and was my third opus3 over the 25 years that I have been mucking around with synths. Highly underrated for a moog synth... one of my favourite moogs along with the Model D, Multimoog, Source, Polymoog and memorymoog."

Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Double analog synth

via this auction
"very rare (only five produced!) Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue, combining two Little Boy Blue synthesizers, along with white noise/dark noise generators, and a Mysterious Reactor chaos circuit. The synth has four sawtooth oscillators, the noise generators, two envelope followers, the Mysterious Reactor circuit, and two preamp inputs. The synth can run stand-alone or you can use it to process external audio via two 1/4" inputs. Unlike most modern analog synthesizers, the oscillators are transistor-based, no chips, for extra analog goodness.

More info can be found here."

TECHNICS SX K 700

via this auction

"Heavy duty steel chassis, pcm technology, with efects, drums, 128 patches, aftertouch (a must have), and built in sequencer. Not at all bad for 1985"

I'm guessing there's no extensive synth editing on this one. If anyone knows, feel free to comment or let me know. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site. Note Technics actually did create a couple of full blown synthesizers, the WSA1 and the SY-1010. You can find both in the archives via the Technics label below.

Update via MiK in the comments: "Just added the repair photos to my page about this thing - which is still quite imcomplete."

"This video demonstrates using TouchOSC, OSCulator, Ableton Live and AudioDamage's BigSeq plugin. TouchOSC is an interactive control surface that outputs OSC messages, which can then be converted to MIDI notes and CC data by OSCulator and other programs.

In this video, check out how much fun it is to control BigSeq with TouchOSC!

Technical Information:

Screen recording was done with iShowU HD. This is my first time using it, and I'm quite pleased so far.

shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html

The audio recording during the screen recording wasn't so good because I was using the MacBook's built-in mic. Attempts to get my external Firewire audio interface routed into iShowU HD through Soundflower were unsuccessful at first, but I'll make sure I get that working for future videos.

The iPod Touch was recorded with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 camera."
