Moog Exhibit Covered by The San Diego Troubadour

Read the full article at The San Diego Troubador.
"At first glance, the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California, appears to be the embodiment of a paradox. The ultra-modern facility, nestled amidst a sparkling collection of equally new structures, houses a whole assortment of musical instruments and artifacts that date back many decades. The various guitars, ukuleles, drums, keyboards, horns, gramophones, and amplifiers could easily merit the term "antique" or "vintage." In all honesty, the same might be said about some of the items in the new exhibit, "Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Bob Moog," which opened on August 29 and continues through April 30, 2010. A good number of them showed technological hallmarks of a bygone era like patch cords, reel-to-reel tape units, and oscilloscopes. Yet to simply characterize these as artifacts of yesteryear does a disservice to the forward-thinking visionary that was Dr. Robert A. Moog.

His innovations revolutionized the way music is made."

Plan B Model 28: Messing around with the new firmware

via the Plan B list:

"All,

As I mentioned there's an upgrade of the Model 28 firmware in the works, I've had a chance to play around with it and I'd like to share that with you.

Although the 28 was designed as a master clock as opposed to a external frequency multiplier, the new firmware introduces a sync mode which increases the accuracy when processing external signals.

The following audio example has four tracks:

1) The first is Logic's software sampler (Xylophone) being driven by a M37 LFO which was converted to a midi quarter note string via an Analogue Systems Rs-200.

2) The second track, which appears in the right channel is analog patch playing quarter notes which is also driven by the same clock as the software synth in track 1, once it was recorded by Logic - so no M28 in the mix yet.

3) The third track is appears in the left channel and is an octave up from track 2, and is driven by the M28 quarter note output which is being paced by the same recorded clock as track 2.

4) The forth track, the ring modulated thuddy one - is in both channels and is the M28's serial output being driven by a M24 random voltage that is selecting whether a 1/4, 1/8 or 1/8 trip is being passed to the output.

The first thing you hear is the software synth, then track two fades in the right channel, followed by track 3 on the right and finally the random serial output with the thuddy beats.

One of our beta testers, Don Kim, did another sample recently:

his comments:
'It synced to midi notes much better than before [without the update] that freakout that used to happen while it was trying to find the sync. It just seems to take a measure and it syncs. I added some more fun by changing the notes it was syncing to. Simple polyrhythmic type stuff. 3 tracks of M28 running 3-5 envelopes. two voices using the midi click notes to show where the clock is (if you can't figure which ones, then I think it's syncing well). Also added a couple drum machine tracks using Logic as the master midi clock just to see how it all syncs with external gear.'"
