Trogotronic 665 Analog Synth

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"Trogotronic gear is designed and built by W.T. Nelson of Bastard Noise / Man Is The Bastard. Here is the builders description of the device.

'The Trogotronic Model 665 Subterranean Analog Artifact Explorer: ideally suited for expeditions into the realm of analog higher-order thresholds whose existence is poorly addressed (more often forgotten completely) in the algorithms that math stooges write for large audio electronics firms who seek to capture real life analog circuits in stale equations computed by cheap microprocessors. Turbulent, complex and unstable areas of analog sound difficult to navigate let alone discover with even the most sophisticated and expensive analog synthesis gear are readily accessed with a twist of this eight-knobber. Sharp, ragged and searing solos tones; horrifying torturous particle blasts and soothing lengthy Venusian jungle bird calls that cycle lazily (with a bit of fine tuning exploration).

With an interface that is simple and concise but a range that spans great heights and depths, the 665 also transforms and modulates sounds that are sent through it'"

"More music at umop.com/parallax.htm

The wife and I were lucky enough to get a tour of the Moog factory in Asheville, NC recently, and while there I spent a little while in the sound lab making spacey noises. It was like being inside my own brain. I could have set up a tent in there."

Via the seller: "In this auction we have one of the most tricked out, one-of-a-kind, nothing else like it Commodore 64 computers in existence!
