"Here is vintage analog six-channel drum synthesizer "Marsh-UDS", manufactured in USSR in mid 80-s... On each channel it has tone, noise generators with different tweakable parameters, like pitch, decay, pitch envelope, noise cutoff\envelope. Can be trigged by pads, CV GATE, short audio signal.
"The BASE Pack is born from a quest Moog engineers embarked on with help from researchers at The University of North Carolina at Asheville to discover the most primordial sounds known to man. The result is the Biomimetically Augmented Synthesis Expansion Pack (BASE Pack) for the Animoog synthesizer. The BASE Pack is a collection of timbres and presets that radically extends the sonic capabilities of Animoog from the purely electronic realm of its Moog ancestry into a richly organic world of biological sound.
In addition to the over 40 new Timbre files, Moog recruited top sound designers to craft 25 powerful new presets which demonstrate the range of BASE sounds that Animoog can now emit. Some of the Presets included are Extravasation, Eructations, Bad Beans, Bathtub Bubbles, and Oops Sorry Excuse Me. Some of the Timbres included are Sploot2, WetGas1, Dribbly, WetSquish2 and Excuse Me.
Animoog is available for the iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod Touch in the iTunes Store. Animoog version 1.0.2 includes the new "Animoog Store" where users can purchase new Timbres and presets from within the app itself. The BASE Pack is only the first in a series of wide-ranging, boundary-pushing sonic updates to come.
"Many years ago, a young and naive Nine Inch Nails were asked what TV shows they'd be interested in appearing on. As a joke (and likely drunk), they thought of the most absurd choice they could come up with at the time. They were then informed their bluff had been called and were actually booked on said show... They hopped in their Honda Civic touring vehicle (hatchback) and travelled many miles to (I think) NJ for the big show. They had a laugh making fun of the people, their fashion choices and hairstyles. Life was good. Years later, the internet is discovered... There's a moral in there somewhere. Come to think of it, Skrillex may indeed owe me some publishing on that hairdo..."

"The Museum of Synthesizer Technology was opened by synth pioneer Bob Moog in 1994, in a leafy part of Berkshire UK.
The museum offered the largest collections of analogue synths ever assembled, and this video features an insight into the museum and demonstrations of some of the classic analogue synths from distinguished keyboard players such as Jonn Savannah (ex-Squeeze, Lene Lovich, Jona Lewie,Nik Kershaw, Stephen "Tintin" Duffy, ABC, Van Morrison, Melanie C, The Catch), Nick Magnus (Steve Hackett, China Crisis), Rick Smith (Freur, Underworld), Bob Moog himself, keyboard wizard and author Julian Colbeck (Yes, Steve Hackett), author Matthias Becker, and Paul Wiffen, well-known music journalist for Sound On Sound magazine, demonstrator for the EDP Wasp and co-creator of the OSC Oscar synth, and patch programmer for the Elka Synthex.
Synths featured are Moog System 3, Buchla, ARP 2600, EMS Synthi, Yamaha CS80, EDP Wasp Deluxe, Elka Synthex, Moog Memorymoog, Roland VP330 Vocoder, Minimoog, Prophet 5, ARP Odyssey.
The museum closed its doors in 1998 and became a studio specialising in Analogue Synths, this is a great chance to pick up a fascinating souvenir of what was a great assembly of analogue synths."
