Vintage Moog Opus3

via this auction

"This Moog features a beautiful dark walnut stain wood cabinet. The Opus 3 is a string/brass/organ polyphonic instrument with a 49-note (C-C) keyboard. It features a very noisy chorus and 2 VCF's, one for brass section and one for the string section (with switchable high, low, or band-pass filtering and resonance). The Opus 3 features stereo outs and each of the sections can be panned."

"We're just messing around using the Tetra MAPS as a master clock/pitch source. Modules for this patch: Malekko/Wiard Borg, Boogie, Noisering, Anti Oscillator(primary osc) ; Bananalogue/Serge VCS (slewing CV from The Tetra) ; 4ms Atoner(CV mixer and secondary osc) Noise Swash for fuzziness ; Analogue Systems rs60 EG(off camera). There's some really great sounds coming out of the Anti Oscillator. Pairing it with the Borg as a low pass gate sounds super awesome. We're still amazed by the Malekko Wiard modules. Affordable and super BadA$$ sounding!"

"My recent visit to Ralph Lundsten's studio in Stockholm Sweden...
Got to play with his infamous polyphonic sequencer and his "Love Synthesizer", which was designed for kissing.

My pictures of Ralph's crazy studio - Pictured is Ralph and Christian Bernard-Cedervall, good friend and host of the experimental and always excellent HelterSkelter Radio Show (http://www.myspace.com/helterskelterradioshow)
