"I'm playing omnichord and analog waveshapers (see details below) with Lukas Ligeti on drums and glockenspiel.
More specifically, I'm playing an omnichord put through a Metasonix TM-1SE, into a Moog FM-102 ring-mod, into an Electro Harmonix Micro-POG, into a Pigtronics Echolution."

"Ligeti & Frasconi @ The Tank.
Lukas Ligeti: drums & glockenspiel
Miguel Frasconi: omnichord & analog waveshapers.
December 8, 2010. NYC.
Transcending the boundaries of genre, Lukas Ligeti has developed a musical style that draws upon downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, electronica, and world music. Known for his non-conformity and diverse interests, Lukas creates music ranging from the through-composed to the free-improvised, often exploring polyrhythmic/polytempo structures, non-tempered tunings, and non-western elements.
While best known for his menagerie of glass musical instruments, Miguel Frasconi has long explored the sonic possibilities of electronics. Tonight he will be using a combination of devices that enable tactile control over a vast array of electronic sounds. Frasconi is the director of Ne(x)tworks, one of NYC's leading new music ensembles, and teaches at Bard College where he directs the Bard Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk)."
Bob Moog Foundation Inspired Moments of 2010
"Inspired. That word is embedded in the history, ethos and mission of the Bob Moog Foundation.
Bob was inspired by the possibilities of unlimited sonic reality and by what he called "the network of ideas." The convergence of those ideas and possibilities in Bob's work effected millions of people around the world who were in turn inspired by his inventions and the music they spawned. This inspiration, and the way it changed people's lives, drives the very heart of our work in igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history and innovation.
Be part of the inspiration. Donate today.
In 2010, the inspiration that is rooted in Bob's work has manifested itself in some of my proudest moments in the Foundation's history:
* In April we concluded "Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Moog" exhibit at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California. Over 200 items from Bob's archives were on display, seen by over 20,000 people.
* In May, we made modular synthesis accessible (thanks to Amos Gaynes and August Worley) by transforming Erik Norlander's legendary "Wall of Doom" custom modular Moog synthesizer from a 6' x 7' monolithic structure into six portable rack mount cases. It was featured at our spring fundraiser Moogus Operandi. This unique instrument will travel once again this spring (and beyond), giving audiences new insights into the origin of synthesis.
* In October, the Bob Moog Foundation wowed standing-room-only audiences at Moogfest with historical, educational and technical panels and discussions, drawing the attention of the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal . That same month, preservationist Seva Ball finished restoring and transferring 88 reel-to-reel tapes from our archives.
* Throughout the year, we exposed children and adults to the science of sound through MoogLab; we gave people all over the world a rare glimpse into some little known facets of the Moog legacy through historian Brian Kehew's detailed explorations of moments in time captured in material from our archives; and we reveled in the varied and important work of our corps of committed, talented volunteers.
What inspires you? Unbridled musical exploration? Innovative methods in education? Unknown history brought alive to illuminate the future? Opening people's minds to a world of possibilities that in turn make them more creative thinkers?
This is our work-- the work of the Bob Moog Foundation. We illuminate history so that it might serve as a lesson for the future. We provide unparalleled opportunities for young and old to explore sonic realms and sculpt sound as an avenue to ignite creativity through science.

CEM3350 and the Rhodes Chroma
This came in on the Rhodes Chroma list via Heinz:
"Here a discription of the CEM3350 what I believe it's working. Note all components red marked in the schematic are always present in the Chroma. All OTAs are LM13700.
What is new is SW 2. If it is set to the right position we got a BP response. Together with SW1 to right postion we got an Allpass. The circiut is not adapted to the Chroma yet. Frequency control is set to somewhat 0.5V/Octave. My problem at the moment is the Q-control. When I'm pulling the FIX input to ground (no pos. feedback) the filter behaves as described. Because I have no audio sweeper I did't know what is the Q when stepping trough from 0-6 with Q-control. My only choice is the pink noise source as a audio source and measure the increase of output level at a fixed frequency i.e. 32. But - the source isn't bad but not the best. So what I need is more measurements from different Chromas to have an average. Ok - the next problem. The LM13700 needs current sources for control. Thus the expo converter is hooked up around a PNP array. Hard to find and all controls have the opposite direction. But the good news. The filter is breadboarded and on my bench. It oscillates from 16kHz to appr.12 Hz (better as in simulation). Because I have no quad PNP array I've glued two 2SA798 together. In other words - the filter works.

King Capitol Punishment Glamour Box Synth
via this auction"the glamour box is an all analog dual oscillator synth with wave shaping and hurting the sounds of the glamour box may be affected by an external audio signal.
facilitates a wide range of maddening sounds ranging from sick static to modulating volcanic eruptions which are shoveled into all out sub-thunder explosions, and grated scraping high frequencies. the glamour box has an external audio input that smashes incoming signal inside of the two sweepable oscillators creating a vortex of intense \ distorted schizophrenic undulations.
features::
master volume control
wave shaper/hurter (controls the way osc1 modulates the osc2 wave shape)
two oscillators (each potentiometer tuned)
lfo (affects the pitch of osc #1 lfo wave shape a square)
lfo rate control (potentiometer adjusted)
osc 2 volume control (potentiometer adjusted)
external audio signal input (gain is adjusted with potentiometer)
gain booster for external audio input
internal summing amplifier mixes together: oscillator 1, oscillator 2 & external audio input
and violently spits the mixed signal out into the filter
the triangle composed of the three small knobs in the center
the bottom knob of the small triangle is a gradual selector of the frequencies which are tuned by sweeping the upper right and upper left knobs
externally powered by a regulated 9 volt dc (standard barrel type) power adaptor."
