New Slim Phatty Pics and Specs

Two shots spotted by Jose Franco on hispasonic.com. Click the images for the super size shots. Note there is nothing on the Moog site at the time of this post.

Googlish translation from Spanish:
"Moog Music officially announced yesterday that as we advanced, the new Slim Phatty, "the more portable analog synthesizer Moog and affordable throughout its history."

Phatty Slim (slim chubby ") is based on the architecture of the Little Phatty (two oscillators, filters, LFO / envelope / arpeggiator). Module can be used as desktop or rack mounted (you can buy optional rack ears or wood side panels).

It will cost 683 euros including VAT and will be available in November. Read on to know the new Slim Phatty further.

* Two oscillators
* Internal universal power supply
* External audio input
* USB MIDI
* Arpeggiator

"Electric Light" - on Elka X-1000

YouTube via organfairy | October 13, 2010

"Again I have played a quite modern song on the Elka organ. This time the victim is 'Electric Light' by Danish band Infernal.

I have recorded it as a mixture of sequencer tracks on the organ and multitrack recording on the PC. And to make the video slightly more colourfull I found my little rotating light.....thing (can anybody tell me what that gadget is called?)."

Galapagoose Live on The City Rises

Galapagoose Live on The City Rises, RRR, 02-10-10, Pt 1. from rambl on Vimeo.

"When Melbourne's Galapagoose (galapagoose.tumblr.com/) came into the RRR studios in Melbourne two weeks ago he set The City Rises alight with his 40 minute, 100% live set of deftly played head nodders and foot stompers. We've had calls, emails, likes, reposts and several hundred listens since he was on, and that was just for the music!

Now we have the videos to prove just how live it really was. I chose a few choice moments but if you want to hear the entire, epic 40 minutes go to: thecityrises.com/2010/10/the-city-rises-044-w-galapagoose/

And keep an eye out for Galapagoose in your area code...

ps. If you are interested in the machine that Galapagoose is using check out monome.org/ and be prepared for some seriously masterful geekery!"
