"This kit includes everything you need to turn a standard MemoryMoog into the very latest Plus version + the final Autotune and PSU upgrades, all hardware, all stickers, nameplates, Latest Roms, original large Moog schematics, instructions, the lot. That means you will have full MIDI, the Sequencer and everything else. It also incudes the PSU upgrades and the full Autotune upgrade which will make your synth tune much more reliably. It is pretty comprehensive! The kenton MIDI kit cost £400 alone, so i think this is fairly priced considering the rarity and the fact your MM will still be original after fitting, not forgetting this will make your MM more valuable."

Marshall Allen and the Steiner EVI Update

I updated this post with a link the the article in the NY Times. Note Marshall Allen played with Sun Ra in the Sun Ra Arkestra.

"Mr. Allen, who turned 85 last month, has been a member of the Arkestra for more than 50 years: he joined the ensemble almost at its origins, spearheading its reed section and faithfully minding the various edicts of its namesake leader. When he took the helm himself in the mid-1990s, after the deaths of Sun Ra and the tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, Mr. Allen set his sights on continuity. He has kept the band together and working, with one eye trained on the legacy of an expressly future-oriented music."

more instructions and assorted silliness in video."

"Oh, I Just had To ad This Video Of My Moog Little Phatty & Roland Fantom-S. What A Great edited Patch coming from The moog! The Roland Fantom S -61 had a great Guitar Patteren and drum Seqence. Basically, the patterns itself had to have a moog lead to make this Work. I thought This Demo would show a very expressive example of how moog Instruments make the analog world come alive. I hope I showed a good enough example to inspirer other moog users to create some fabulous patches."
