DEWTRON Apollo vintage analog modular synth

via this auction

"Maybe it's an Apollo, I'm not sure by the descriptions. It was a DIY project from some ready-made modules of Dewtron at the ver early 70's. It was commonly known as an affordable alternative of the EMS synths as: VCS-3, AKS, and Synthi-A. This one was bought from the first owner, the one who built it in his youth. I'm sorry but I can't even start the process of renewing the instrument due to my duties and the lack of time. The machine needs reparation and I can't tell you much more. There's a huge stack of tech-description of each circuits as oscillators, noise generator, ring modulator, LFO, and specs and many original Dewtron product description booklets come with the machine. At least 100 pages. I can't test it, so take it as is. Wonderful mirror-cap potis and vernier dial knobs like on the EMS synths. Later I can offer you a very nice pin-matrix module."

But now I am selling it, After a RTA I have been out of work since before xmas so sadly its needs must, and I am skint so I need to raise some income. This Moog system was used by Edgar Frosse of Tangerine dream fame for his only solo London gig. However I have lost the paper work to prove it so its just an everyday Minimoog for sale. "

Roland CR-78 vs Moog FreqBox (Solvent demonstration)

YouTube via s0LVentCIty | Feb 24, 2011 |

"Hello my name is Solvent, and I like my electro funky.

This funky little setup consists of a Roland CR-78 drum machine, a Moogerfooger FreqBox VCO, with some help from an MFB Urzwerg analog sequencer, and Ableton Live.

The CR-78 and Urzwerg are synced to Ableton's midi clock. The CR-78 is going into the FreqBox's audio input. Initially you hear the dry CR-78, but then I fade the mix, from 100% source to 100% VCO. The FB's VCO pitch is being sequenced by the Urzwerg, while at the same time it is hard Sync'd to the CR-78's audio signal. Then I bring in a audio loop of the same CR-78, recorded into Ableton just a few minutes before.
