"Tim Davis was killed in a motorcycle accident last month. Tim was a gifted musician and an electronics genius. This synth was a lifelong project and hobby of his. It was purchased the year he graduated high school (1972) and has been with him ever since. I included two pics of an original Moog Sonic Six for comparison.
As you can see the main panel has been removed and replaced with clear plexiglass. In the upper portion: fourteen 1/4" I/O jacks have been added on the left side, eleven 1/8" I/O jacks have been added along the top, 32 various switches, buttons and I/O jacks have been added along the bottom. The original speaker was removed and replaced with a panel of 29 dials and a button. In the lower portion 13 various switches, dials and ports have been added and a replacement speaker (marked ELP) has been mounted. There is a hand written label that says 'TYMCLAVIER', I believe this is a reference to the Synclavier Digital Synthesizer. I have a notebook containing hand written instructions on the use of this creation as well as hand drawn diagrams of many of the circuits involved.
I can not explain the modifications that have been made because I am neither a musician nor an electrician. I can say that I have powered up the Moog and it works. It needs to be refurbished as the keys are not all making good contact when pressed, some are scratchy & some are faint.
This is NOT a stage ready instrument! This is a project for the person who understands the science behind analog synthesizers and enjoys exploring the unknown. This was clearly a labor of love from a man who signed his name Tim "Moog Man" Davis. I hope that this instrument can find its way into the hands of someone who will appreciate the technical genius that created it and enjoy the creative path it leads them down."
"If you've been following our recent videos (vimeo.com/27918905) you know that pretty soon a lot of your music apps are going to start working together. We got our hands on a beta copy of Sunrizer, which will add support for virtual MIDI. In this video, we improvise a little song with polychord, using both apps at the same time."
"A recent unrestored Moog Modular System went for $33,000
Here is your chance to get a restored, fully functional system at a great price.
This Moog modular is all original, and was made in 1969!
All modules have close serial numbers, with matching stamped manufacture date from March 6th, 1969.
It has been well preserved over the years and is in excellent shape for a 40+ year old instrument.
This synth is fully functional and has recently been restored and fully serviced, including a recap, touching up the keyboard for perfect triggering, with replaced bushing for smoother action, and a cleaning of all pots and jacks.
Cosmetically it is in great shape too, the only major issue is the rear a small piece of wood was cut away to tuck the keyboard cables under.
You aren't likely to find another one from this year in such all original and nice condition.
Here is your once in a life time chance to own a vintage Moog Modular!
