Speak & spell mingles in the studio

YouTube via RothHandle
"Yesterday was a reunion of sorts as Claes Eliasson came back to Studio and helped me out to record some fresh overdubs for the new Necromonkey album. The song we worked on is called Tuesday as it was recorded on a Wednesday.

This film was recorded at Roth Händle studos in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days recording and producing artists...The studio started in my apartment and evolved slowly from there. This is the forth location of the studio. The first one obviously was at home...the second and third was at a abandoned shipyard outside of Stockholm. The studio works more or less in two ways either the artists come here to the studio or people send files that I work with...If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, blogs and odd facts. Oh yes and now I am on facebook too with a dedicated roth händle site...I dont know how to link to it but you people are all so internet smart so you can find...if you want to.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias"

"Special edition Thingamagoop2s for SXSW.
Instead of a silk screed metal front, they have a laser cut acrylic face plate and only a photocell and button for controls. The lights are always on and change every minute or so. When you press the button, it makes noise and cycles through five differnt audio presets.

Look for an special edition acrylic Thingamagoop2 for sale soon.

Thanks to Aaron H for the Photo."

Moog Polymoog Synthesizer With Pedals

via this auction

"Polymoog Synthesizer Model 203A, complete with Polypedal Controller and original metal legs.

This one is of the latest generation of Polymoogs, serial number 3795. It actually bears the name Polymoog Synthesizer on the front (instead of Polymoog Keyboard).

This machine has been overhauled extensively. The overhaul includes:

Repairs: this Polymoog has been fixed. It is one of the few around that are 100% functional.

Keyboard contacts have been cleaned and aligned. All seventy-one rubber keyboard bushings have been replaced with brand new ones. All thirty seven indicator LED’s for the pushbuttons on the front panel, as well as their current regulating resistors have been replaced with new ones that are less energy consuming and thus put less strain on the power supply.

All the capacitors on the power supply have been replaced with new ones in order to reduce chances of burn out.

All fifteen hundred solder connections for the polycom and balance card slots on the three motherboards have been re-soldered to reduce occurrence of fuzzy or dead notes on the keyboard.

All eighteen opamp IC’s LM3080AN on the top left and top right circuit boards have been replaced by their modern day equivalent NTE 996. The old LM3080AN is a common cause of failure in polymoogs. The NTE996 is more durable.

All internal adjustable parameters have been tuned and calibrated.

It has been serviced with durability in mind. This is not a guarantee because the Polymoog remains a sensitive instrument that needs care and attention, but the chances of survival for this one have certainly been improved.

Cosmetically it is in pretty reasonable shape. It does show some wear and tear but overall nothing too outrageous considering it’s age. The worst thing in my opinion would be some curling at the corners of the stickers on the left hand side front panel. See pictures.

The Polypedal Controller, model 285A, serial number 1898 PD is working 100% as well and is in good cosmetic shape.

Included with this sale are five spare Polycom cards and three MM5823N frequency divider IC’s to further increase the potential lifespan of this machine."
