"Oakley Modded Korg Micro-Preset.

When I got this it was only in a fair condition. The case was broken and some original parts had been replaced. Since it wasn't a perfect specimen I decided to modify it extensively.

The mods were designed to enhance the sound not change it. The basic signal pathway is exactly the same - but the control over the sound is now far greater. The two internal Korg35 filters are freed of their preset characteristics and are both allowed to go their separate ways. The Synthe section now has it's own dual EGs (based on the Oakley Little-EG circuit) while the preset voices can now utilise the original Synthe's EG (VAR) or their original preset envelope (PRESET) with a flick of a switch. The original Synthe EG can now be switched between AD and AR modes.

The internal mains supply was removed and so was the little speaker and amplifier circuitry. This makes the unit lighter, safer to work on (useful when heavily modifying it) and most importantly gets rid of the mains hum that the Micro-preset normally suffers from.

The unit is now powered from an external AC power pack."

bending and cranking the OP-1 from Brian Biggs on Vimeo.

A simple little demo with the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and it's new accessories the Bender and the Crank. There are a lot of things one can do with the Bender and the Crank, and the couple of things here aren't even the most interesting.
The Bender is acting as an "LFO" on the parameters of the Digital synth of the OP-1. The Crank is operating the Endless Sequencer, like a music box.

Futureretro 777

"These units are rare as only roughly 600 were made over a decade ago. Here is some more info about the unit:

'The 777 is a monophonic analog synthesizer with a digital sequencer. Built with the highest quality of components, the 777 is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis, has solid cherry end pieces, with top of the line knobs, switches, and electrical components. This machine is built to last.

The 777 is capable of reproducing the oh-so-famous sound of the TB-303 in every way, but that's the least of it. TheTB-303 has only six knobs and one switch to control the sound, while the 777 has all these, plus five times more. There are 32 knobs and 7 switches to be exact, all instantly available with their single dedicated feature. The sequencer part of the synthesizer contains 28 illuminated keys, keeping all the features readily available for the user to tweak at any time. No menus, no virtual analog synthesis--this is the real thing!

5U Moogerfoogers

via gearmedia

"Putting final touches on the panel art for the #moogerfooger 5U panels."

Update via @GearMedia.

Additional details via here.

"It's not 100% clear from the Matrixsynth post but this @GearMedia Moogerfooger Panel project (GiMP for short) is a personal DIY project of mine that I've been slowly working on (or not working on) for over a year. The panel designs have been 90% done for quite a while. I even posted some initial designs on @Muffwiggler.com last August to some warm praise and thankfully positive feedback. I'm only now getting a number of blank panels to prototype the conversions with. (life gets a bit in the way sometimes)

These will NOT be for sale on the GearMedia.net webstore …yet. Depending on community interest, build time, complexity, and costs it MAY never be a service or product that is officially or otherwise offered by GearMedia.

I have yet to convert one, let alone take on the task of converting many. I would love to be able to sell these as kits or as a complete conversion service… give it time. It may happen but it's a hobby project for now. It may not always be. You'll just have to be patient with me and see what happens.

Happy Synthesizing!
