Pink Floyd - On The Run【OP-X PRO-II】
Published on Oct 10, 2012 by virtualoberheim
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/description.html
"Using the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog Oberheim VSTi plugin to play the famous Pink Floyd "On The Run" sequence from their legendary "Dark Side Of the Moon" album.
The used preset is "Floyd On The Run" which can be found in the famous bank which comes with the synth. To be able to fill in the notes step by step the arpeggiator preset has to be switched to "Record" which is a small 8-step sequencer.
After playing in the single note steps the sequencer playback can be started hands-free with the damper pedal by quickly depressing and releasing it again within less than half a second (time filter). The same action again stops the playback.
The original synth used for this sequence was an EMS VCS3 which also exists as a more handy case version with included foil keyboard called EMS Synthi A.
OP-X PRO-II is hosted in an Acer Aspire One 270-26Dkk netbook using Hermann Seib SaviHost as vst host and Asio4all drivers over the built in audio card which manages to process up to 10 voices including effects glich free. Because of the small screen the virtual keyboard of OP-X PRO-II doesn't fit the screen and so ony the operation panel of can bee seen which itself luckily fits.
The used MIDI keyboard was an E-MU Xboard 61 which is connected direcly over usb to the netbook which also powers the keyboard.
The patch also can be auditioned with the demo version of the synth:

"The Korg Polysix is a great source of rich pads and morphing harmonics. The strings can be warm, dark and atmospheric.Has that swirly, warm but aggressive filter and rich buttery VCOs, both due in no small part to the SSM chips used in the Polysix. The analog phaser and chorus effects are excellent and add an extra dimension to the Polysix sound.The arpeggiator is smoother than smooth and the chord tracking feature is a real throwback to the 1980s.
With a knob, switch or button for all parameters makes it easy and intuitive to program and gives you great results quickly."

via the listing: "This is a great collectible, the ultimate synthesizer poster! It was originally a HUGE painting that hung in the reception area of Oberheim's Los Angeles factory. The picture was of all the sounds that could be made from a synthesizer, circa 1982! Wind, angels, horns, harp, helicopter, bass, guitar, flute etc. A great concept and beautifully painted. Underneath it all, you see the Oberheim synth (I think an OB-XA). The painting was so popular that it has reproduced as a promotional poster for dealers. I have a framed one in my studio and kept this one as a spare.
It's about 24x32 approx. This poster has never been framed or hung, and I would say is in 9 out of 10 condition, near perfect..."

Overdriving the Moog Voyager
FAT MOOG: How to make your Moog Voyager sound FAT, overloaded, unstable, about to lose it...etc
Published on Oct 10, 2012 by timtsang3
"This is a simple "overload" trick that's been posted on the Moog Music Forum for some time now (http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14154), and I found it to be real helpful. you totally dont need a distortion pedal if you have a Moog Voyager. The whole thing IS a distortion pedal."
Note there are different ways to overdrive the filter. Via MBlom in the thread: "But at least in theory there are two different ways you can overload the filter/VCA. If you send one of the outputs back into the mixer you get a feedback loop where the resonance might self oscillate. But if you use an insert jack and put it in the Mix Out/Audio Filter In you can boost the signal from the oscillators prior to the filter. This creates an overload as well but no feedback. So if I'm not misunderstanding something, you actually have two different types of overdrive in the Voyager. Right?"
The audio levels are also different between the line outs on the back the headphone out on front.
And via Sound on Sound on the Old School: "Mildly exasperated, I turned to the rear (or upper) panel, which is largely the same as the Voyager's. This means lots of quarter-inch voltage inputs (11 in total) for interfacing with expression pedals, or modular gear such as Moog's own Moogerfoogers. An effects loop insert point is provided too, ideal for plumbing in external effects after the mixer section and before the filters. This is one of those simple additions that prove to be genuinely worthwhile in practice and had me digging out a wide collection of old effects processors. Adjacent to the insert point, the external audio input is on hand to process any source you fancy — including the Old School's own headphone output. This version of the Minimoog trick sounds a trifle different in this incarnation; indeed, with the levels cranked up it threw up some of the most extreme (and occasionally scary) noises in the Old School's repertoire."
