Korg MS-50 expander module

via this auction

"The bass on this is insane, even deeper and fuller than the MS10, MS20. Much more interesting Lo-pass filter as well, along with tons of cool features like Sample & Hold, Integrator, Inverter, Multi-s. Fully patchable with loads of features, this makes a great cheaper alternative to the Arp 2600. One interesting feature is there are inputs in the oscillator section that can take both Korg MS series Hz/V scaling and the standard Octave/V scaling that most other analog synths use, so you can play the oscillators with a wide variety of synths and still be in tune..."

The Moog Drum Machine

via It's Full of Stars where you'll find additional details and pics.

"According to an anonymous reader Moog did make a one-off drum machine for composer Eric Siday, and what a beauty it is! It's currently housed at the intriguing Museum of Music in Paris, which has a website here."

Update via Suit & Tie Guy: "I believe this is one of the four machines built for the famous 1969 'Jazz In The Garden at MOMA' concert. after the show it was repackaged and sold to Eric Siday.

it's possible and likely that these modules were also built for Carl Palmer's drum rig for the Brain Salad Surgery album. based on the panel controls it would seem reasonable to assume this. it would be great if someone close to Carl would find out if this is the case."

Additional note via Suit & Tie Guy: "By 'these modules' I meant 'they pulled the films out and made a few for Carl as well' as opposed to the idea that Carl owned these pieces, which he did not."

Update: turns out Carl Palmer's drum rig was not Moog but custom built. If anyone has more info on it, feel free to comment or shoot me an email via the email icon on the bottom right. The following is a video of Carl Palmer featuring his electronic drums back in 1973. [I originally mentioned that this post stated he used a Moog 1130 Drum Controller for Brain Salad. I heard from a reliable source that he did not].

Buchla Beat 10

YouTube Uploaded by boobtube356 on Dec 25, 2011

"Percussion experiment using the 291e and 255. Then more crud added for fun. If you ever wondered what you can do with eight slew limiters, here you go.

Bass kick = 291e channel A fed back into itself (no external sound source).
Channels B&C processing noise from the 266e.
All three channels use the built-in 291e VCAs (292e not used).
255 supplies EG modulation, 250e supplies pulses.
291e ALL output goes straight to the 206e (only one mixer channel required).
Main sequence is the 259e v21 tracking mode, morph modulation.
261e + 285e does the standard plinkity plink at the end, taking unattenuated pitches from the QRV section of the 266e."
