Herb Deutsch's Moog Vocoder (Bode) 16-chan 327A Up for Auction

via this auction

"Just serviced. Rare Moog Vocoder Model 327A/MBVO (16-channel), co-designed by Dr. Harald Bode & Dr. Bob Moog. This unit is a piece of musical history, too, as it was owned by Dr. Herb Deutsch, who co-designed the first Moog synthesizer in the early '60s with Dr. Bob Moog. Seller knows Herb Deutsch personally & acquired the unit from him directly (authenticity can be provided). Includes copies of manuals/documentation & patch images. The Moog Vocoder was used by artists including Wendy Carlos, Moog Cookbook, Devo, Saga, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and filmmaker/composer John Carpenter, among others.

In 1979, Moog Music released its vocoder, although its design and architecture are almost identical to the Bode 7702 model (see image of Bode Vocoder with a "cross-over" patch). It's a 16-band analog vocoder, which separates voice/synthesizer sounds (carrier signal) into frequency-bands ranging from 50 to 5080 cycles-per-second. It does not have any internal oscillators, so it is designed to be used as a signal processor for external carrier & modulator wave sources. The modulator is typically a vocal or drum beat used to modulate the carrier/synth sound being processed. It has microphone & line inputs, as well as 16 synthesizer inputs (1 for each frequency-band), and 16 outputs. This 16-channel cross-matrix patching system provides incredible flexibility, allowing for full external patching between synth & vocoder sections. Other features include a high-frequency bypass, a short 6ms response time for capturing fast percussive sounds, sample-and-hold, and a global bypass switch to turn off the vocoding effect (it has no built-in output mixer, MIDI or CV/Gate).

Sounds great! Recent service included replacement of parts, cleaning & otherwise. Includes power cord, but no patch cords (Seller can refer Buyer to patch cord vendors). The handles/rack-mounts are reversible. 115v/220v switchable. In good physical condition but has some surface scratches, etc. Message Seller with any questions. Moog Vocoders have sold for more than US$5,000 on eBay & private transactions in recent years.

Own a piece of musical history, and a great addition to any modern studio!"

"Own a piece of rock 'n’ roll history! Eddie Jobson's customized Hammond C3 organ, played with his late-1970's progressive-rock super-group: UK (band-mates: John Wetton, Allan Holdsworth & Bill Bruford/Terry Bozzio). Featured on UK's albums "UK" (self-titled debut), "Danger Money", and "Night After Night" (live in Japan); notable tracks: "Alaska", "Nothing To Lose", "Danger Money", "Carrying No Cross" & "Night After Night". Seller acquired organ directly from Eddie in 2003. (Authenticity can be provided.) Organ was just serviced & “restored” by a renowned Hammond technician, including new tubes. It works & sounds incredible!

This is one of two Hammond C3's (manufactured in the mid-1950s) customized by Pro-Co of Kalamazoo, MI. One went to Rick Wakeman (Yes, etc.) in ’76, the other to Eddie Jobson in ’77 (Eddie was formerly with Roxy Music, Frank Zappa and Curved Air). The organ has enhanced percussion, direct output, built-in phase-shifter & Leslie speed control, custom presets personally hand-wired & labeled by Eddie, standard & custom Leslie interfaces, plug for remote pedal volume or effects send/return, and remote Leslie speed-control pedal connection. Painted black (excludes bass pedals, bench, music stand and Leslie or tone cabinet). Organ is in good physical condition (high “C” of lower manual has small chip). Includes Eddie Jobson's large Anvil[-style] flight case...

Photo descriptions (selected):
#2 Custom Leslie speed-control & Chorus panels, and Eddie’s custom draw-bar presets.
#3 AC power and standard Leslie connections.
#4 Custom box with 1/4” direct (DI) output, special Leslie audio & speed control XLR outputs, and Leslie remote speed-control pedal plugs.
#5 Rear view of console, including new tubes, Phaser unit (far right), isolation transformer for Leslie interface, remote volume/effects plug, and Eddie’s hand-wired custom preset patches.

#6 is Eddie Jobson playing the C3 with ‘UK’ (other keyboards in photo not included).
#7 Plug (TRS/ring-tip sleeve) for remote volume control or effects send/return.

Here's a video featuring the organ in 'Nothing To Lose'" [above]

Gamma Jam

YouTube Uploaded by bigcitymusic on Aug 13, 2011

"Here's a little Kraftwerk-like jam showcasing the WMD Gamma Wave Source wavetable oscillator module.

Our TR-909 Rim Out is clocking the Kilpatrick K4815 Pattern Generator and one side of a Livewire Dual Bissell Generator as a simple Attack/Decay envelope generator.

The pitch CV of the K4815 is running to the other side of the Dual-Bissel, using it to generate portamento. This is much more fun than your typical portamento as you have control of up and down glide rates.

The new Critter and Guitari Pocket Piano GR is being played using its new mono glide mode, which sounds really nice!

For filters on the Gamma we're using a Division 6 Filtaire, modulated by the Livewire Vulcan's sinewave, and a Metasonix R-54. We're also using a Metasonix r-51 as our VCA and the Flight Of Harmony 'Sound of Shadows' karaoke delay."
