Going polyphonic with the Moog Slim Phatty and Little Phatty

YouTube via SourceDistributionTV | January 06, 2011 |

"Or to be more precise, duophonic! Both the Moog Little Phatty keyboard and the Slim Phatty module are monophonic instruments, but chain them together with MIDI and you can create a polyphonic Moog system! I wish we had more Slim Phatties lying around but at time of writing are currently sold out :'~|

That's a good thing though, right? If you have one of these synths (or a Voyager which can also be chained), and know someone else who does too, get over there and try this out!

Anyhow. This vid is unfortunately in mono (onboard camera sound too), and most certainly not a musical statement, as we had just received the Slim Phatty and I was just testing that the setup works! I had individual synths to individual speakers and in stereo, in person, it sounded AMAZING. You'll have to forgive my complete inability to play a keyboard. God bless MIDI. And Dr Bob Moog."

Nanoloop - 8BIT Sequenzer/Synthesizer

via this auction

"Nanoloop for Game Boy is a sequencer / synthesizer cartridge for Game Boy consoles. It allows to create electronic music without further hardware, using headphones or external speakers for sound output.

The idea of nanoloop is to simplify the stepsequencer concept as far as possible while keeping the gamesome, yet addictve character of loop-based music creation. The minimalistic graphical user interface was specifically developed for the Game Boy's small screen and has been optimized for keypad operation. Despite the simple design and usage, it provides access to the raw sound synthesis components and allows to create complex musical structures."

Note: I created a Nanoloop label. Prior to this I was just using the Nintendo label. I added the label to a chunk of posts, but not every one as Blogger search in the editor did not bring up all posts. Remember, always check out corresponding labels, in this case Nintendo, for more. Also use the Google search box on the right.

White Face Arp Odyssey Mk 1 & Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds

via this auction

"This is the rare "white face" version of the Arp Odyssey. It was the first version of the Odyssey ever made and has a different sounding filter than the later ones, when they started to rip off Moog. It's a matter of taste, but I greatly prefer this version as it sounds more metallic and industrial. Apparently, so does Trent Reznor as he used it for the synth lead from "The Hand That Feeds." Take a look at it next to a Buchla 200e in the video:[below]. The serial number is 282188"
