Rubicon TZ demo

Published on Sep 21, 2012 by UncertainMusicCorps

"Little demo to show some of the timbres you can get from the Rubicon oscillator with through zero FM.

What you hear is just the sine output from the Rubicon. The FM index is being modulated gently at audio rates from an AFG.The (linear) through zero modulator input is driven from an E350 Z output. I then do a slow manual scan through the entire wavetable in bank A of the E350, switch to bank B for a while and then return to Bank A.

Note sequence is generated randomly from A-149-1 clocked by Stoicheia. The sequence is multied to the 1v/oct inputs of all 3 oscillators."

Octatrack Pro Tip #9 - Track Trigging

Published on Sep 21, 2012 by ElektronHQ

"Try it out for yourself! Download the Project file for this Pro-tip here:
http://files.elektron.se/pro-tip/PROTIP9.zip

Tracks can be disconnected from the sequencer. This makes it possible to start and stop tracks individually, which can be used for live improvisations. The first eight [TRIG] keys trig disconnected tracks.

Moog Prototype "Thingamajig"?

via this auction

Piece of unrelated DIY work, or something actually from the early Moog days.  You be the judge.  This one is from the seller listing a number of Moog items from an estate sale supposedly of an early Moog engineer.  I'm curious who that might be.  The following is the item description:


"The auction is for a Moog thingamajig. I am not sure what this is. It is labeled only as a frequency divider. It was found with the Moog gear I have. Came from what I believe to be the estate of an early Moog engineer. as you can see it is in beyond rough shape. Case broken and missing parts. Boards damaged. Very incomplete. Yet its has some value to the Moog collector. Was this a custom built piece? A prototype? A rare part of the modular system? I do not know. But is for sure a missing link in Moog synthesizer history. Likely the only one to, well, sorta exist. So, here is what I see. We have 12 input, output sections. 12 pots labeled as scale.
12 breadboards underneath loaded with cap and resistors. Most boards look damn near identical. With one board looking a bit more complex. This excludes the 13th broken board, that may be a power supply board. or output board. The keyboard looks to be touch/force sensitive. Output jacks are labelled 1,2,4,8. With a switch for internal or external on each set of input, outputs. Check the pics. If any of you Moog junkies out there got any ideas. Please share. This is the first of a few unreleased Moog items I will be listing. I also have a Moog Apollo synthesizer. Which is from what I can tell a final rendition of the Polymoog keyboard, previous to its release. And another keyboard named the Moog "Polypreset".
Which shares some likeness to a Polymoog. But is really unique in features and layout."

Update: see this post for an update on the possible Moog tech this belonged to.

Minimoog Voyager Select Series to be Phased Out with Price Drop

via Moog Music
"Moog has announced its plans to discontinue production of the Minimoog Voyager Select Series, the top selling backlit analog synthesizer of all time.
Over the last 6 years the Select Series has been used in studios and on stages around the globe. Whether it’s Madonna, Dr. Dre, Alicia Keys, CeeLo Green, Lady Gaga or Sugarland, the custom combinations of color and finish reflects the unique aesthetic and personality of its owner. Moog will continue building the Select Series through the end of the year, with the final Select Series leaving the factory on Jan 1, 2013.

This is the last chance ever for prospective buyers to purchase a Select Series Voyager, but it will also be their best chance. During the remaining months of production, Moog has reduced the selling price on all Select Series Voyagers from $3,659 to $2,999.

“We felt it was important to give musicians who had always dreamt of customizing a handcrafted Voyager a final chance to build one at an unprecedented price," said Mike Adams, CEO Moog Music Inc. “We are a small company that still builds by hand, so sometimes we have to make hard decisions about ending the life of even our most favorite products. However, history has shown that discontinued Minimoogs, like the Model D and the Old School, have a tendency to become highly sought after collector's items. I'm sure we'll see them on stages and in studios for years to come.” said Adams.

The discontinuation of the Select Series comes just as Moog begins celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Minimoog Voyager. The first Minimoog Voyager introduced the world to the next generation of analog synthesizers in 2002. To honor this milestone, Moog has created an interactive ten-year retrospective containing the untold history of the Voyager, artist profiles and performances, free gifts, and other announcements that are yet to come.

Minimoog Voyager Select Series will be gone by 2013. Until that time the price has been reduced from $3,659 to $2,999. Available direct from the Moog website or your favorite Moog Dealer."
