Moog Minimoog Synthesizer Autographed by Bob Moog

via this auction

"This is a beautiful 1974 Moog Minimoog synthesizer (serial# 6572) that was autographed by Bob Moog.

At the 2000 NAMM show I brought the top wood trim of this instrument to the Big Briar booth, where I met Dr. Moog and asked him to sign it. He was very gracious and broke into a big grin when he saw it, as of course he recognized right away what it was. In fact, he held it up for others to see, taking a bit of delight, I'm sure, in asking who else knew what this little wooden stick was! Since that day I have always treated this instrument as a reminder of the moment I got to meet the late, great grandfather of synthesizers and have cherished his signature on it as a direct link between his hands and the legendary instrument he created. Of all the Minis out there, how many have that distinction?...

This Mini has the later ua726 containing VCO board installed. I don't want to open a debate about which generation of oscillators sound "best" but I will say that the VCOs track rock solid compared to other Minis I've played. When I detune the VCOs to get just the right fat spread I want, this is maintained up and down the keyboard and across the footages. Solid. But then again, never can I get them to perfectly line up and cancel each other out...that's the organic beauty of these oscillators, and why this instrument sounds so alive. Speaking of alive, the VCOs sound raw and huge. End of story."

The Synthesizer 3000

The Synthesizer 3000 from Matthew Lawless on Vimeo.

"Here is a short product advertisement I had to do for an assignment in Cinema 4D class. I created the synthesizer from scratch and used a mini synthesizer model that Dan McPharlin created. I don't know anything about synthesizers, so the information is about a completely different synth.

I had the hardest time rending this too, well the main reason why it was so difficult was because my school computer would stop rendering every 15minutes. It told me the license had expired on Cinema 4D, so much for an up to date school. Sorry I had to complain. Oh well Enjoy!

Roland Rhodes Model 660 Music Keyboard Synthesizer

Anyone know more about this one?

Update via vince66 in the comments: "I had one of these in the late 80s/ early 90's. Sound wise it's pretty much the same as a Roland U20 but has much better midi implementation, and it reades the u110/u20 rom cards."

HTML5 Online Synths

HTML5 and Javascript Synthesizer from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"A synthesizer running in a modified version of firefox (minefield)."

In-browser Synthesizer and Sequencer with Envelope and Filter control from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"My latest processing.js demo using David Humphrey's experimental Firefox build. This demo uses my new javascript dsp library PJSAudiio github.com/corbanbrook/pjsaudio

PJSAudio Oscillator module generates a signal which is sent through a Low Pass Filter and ADSR Envelope and then written to the soundcard through the HTML 5 audio tag."

HTML5 Audio with Realtime Javascript Low Pass Filter from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"Uses a modified version of Firefox which allows for reading and writing of raw audio data.

Reads from first (muted) audio tag, passes through a low pass IIR Filter (implemented in Javascript), and then Writes processed signal to a second audio tag, all in real time, frame by frame."

Bloop HTML5 Instrument inspired by Brian Eno's Bloom from Bocoup on Vimeo.

"This is a demonstration of a simple touch screen video instrument by Al MacDonald (twitter.com/f1lt3r). The instrument is built using the Firefox web browser with no plug ins, inspired by Brian Eno's Bloom application available on iPhone.

We used Firefox's Audio Data API to generate tones with JavaScript and push them to the audio stream of the sound card. The circles on the screen respond to touch events and are rendered using the Canvas element.
