MOOG SOUND LAB: Tegan & Sara, Living Room

YouTube Uploaded by MoogMusicInc on Jun 6, 2011

"Tegan and Sara re-envision their single "Living Room" from their album entitled "If It Was You," filling it with Moog Guitars and the ultra low end of the Taurus 3 Bass Pedals. Sara uses the Full Sustain mode on the Paul Vo Collector Edition Moog Guitar to create swooshing string pads to accompany Tegan's upbeat acoustic guitar.

Ted Gowans uses the E1 Moog Guitar in a couple of ways: He's using Mute mode during parts of the versus that give a real staccato feel, then switches over to Controlled Sustain where energy is given to just 1 or 2 strings at a time.

Shaun Hubert makes use of his hands and feet with the Taurus 3 Bass Pedals, bringing a massive low end growl to the song. There's also an Etherwave Plus Theremin being used to sweep the Taurus 3's filter via the CV output on the theremin.

Rare Vintage BODE FEEDBACK STABILIZER

via this auction
"Up for auction is a rare BODE 742XR "Feedback Stabilizer". Apparently, this is a variation on Harold Bode's "Frequency Shifter" design (as used by Moog in the coveted Moog modular series).

This version was originally geared towards feedback suppression applications (hence the name), and was generally used for live sound situations. I'm told that it has potential for modification into the "frequency shifter" zone, but, haven't really looked into it further. I DID, however, put signal through it, and it does seem to alter the audio (a phasing "tremolo" effect, of sorts), albeit subtle. The potential for modding it to do more seems to be there, but I'll leave that for the next owner to figure out. Generally, it does seem to work as originally intended, but could probably use calibration.

On the back are two empty sockets for line input/output transformers, which were offered as an option (which would be accessed via the barrier strip on the back of the unit) but are not necessary to the functioning of the unit, as the inputs and outputs on the front are the "normal" connections. Here's a link: http://www.vasulka.org/archive/Artists1/Bode,Harald/FeedbackSynth.pdf"
