"Early oscillator board. Serial# 6064
from legendary Mike Bucki former Moog employee and currently running Modusonics. There is only one problem. I have to replace a new 3rd oscillator waveform knob on order from synthesizers.com."

RAB Meets Playboy

via Dave of umop.com and creator of our favorite synth rat, The Packrat: "Just working on a cartoon for playboy.com featuring characters from Retarded Animal Babies. This pic shows a scene with the Hamster character playing on a 90% autobiographical synth rig. There's a weird red & grey keyboard that's totally made-up, otherwise it's my Plastica rig. The Axis keytar isn't done yet, but Customsynth will be finishing it in the hopefully not-too-distant future. The white JD-800 ("Gandalf") that he made is in there, a boring ol' TR-61, and a Nord Lead Anniversary. The brand names have all been changed, since these companies may not want to be associated with completely filthy animations." :) Note Dave also plays in Paralax. You can find a few of his vids previously posted here.

AtomoSynth Mochika2 Now Available

follow-up to this post.
via these auctions
"www.atomolabs.blogspot.com
Make insane effect loops, cool phrases, fat basslines or crazy percusion rhythms, change the sound in real time by tweeking the knobs on stage or in studio or connect it to your favorite effects (delay, flange, etc, etc)and create a wide sort of rhytm textures and soundscapes with this beautiful lighted analog sequencer synth box...

And now sync it to any midi device like a drumbox midi sequencer or computer and play live!!!

This synth features one analog square and saw waveform VCO (voltage controled oscillator) with a huge pitch range, from subsonic to ultrasonic sound.

One square and triangle waveform LFO (low frequency oscillator), that modulates the VCO for the vibrato effect creating old school arcade Atari-like sounds.

White noise generator that triggers the VCO and can create percussion like sounds.

8 step Sequencer with note on/off switch and pitch knob for each step

It features a 1/4 inch audio output, 1/4 inch CV Output (to control other analog gear).

The Mochika2 features a MIDI input to sync the Mochika with any midi device sending midi clock signals, the mochika can sync 1, 2, 4 and up

to 8 times the tempo of the master clock midi device, also it can be used as a midi to gate converter to sync other analog gear using the CV output of the Mochika2.

Also the instrument is ligthed with 1 bright green led that indicates the LFO Rate, and 8 blue leds to indicate the step that is being played. Very useful when you play it on a dark stage.
The Analog Sequencer is packed in a cool laser cut clear acrilic case that shows all the hand made analog circuitry.

The instrument is powered directly from 110V or 220V AC.
Dimensions: 230mm(W), 170 mm(D), 80mm(H. incuded rubber feet and knobs)
