But it's famous for Art Of Noise cover version.
So it's featuring Minimoog Voyager Select Series Fire/Walnut.
...And Happy 79th Birthday to Bob Moog on May 23, 2013.

富士フィルムの化粧品「アスタリフト」のCMにも使用されているアート・オブ・ノイズの「ロビンソン・クルーソー」。
元々この曲は1960年代のテレビ映画「ロビンソン・クルーソーの冒険」のテーマ曲をアート・オブ・ノイズがカバーしたもので、TOKYO-FMの深夜番組「ジェット・ストリーム」にも使用されていました。
今回、新たにシンセサイザーでカバーしてみました。"

New Somatic Circuits VOICE EXPANDER MODULE

Similar to the Oberheim SEM, "The VEM or Voice Expander Module provides the Core Element for a synthesizer voice. It is part of the Luna Modular CORE SYSTEM series. Designed to integrate into an existing Euro Modular synthesiszer system or as the core element. The VEM also provides an affordable polyphonic solution.

The module is comprised of 3 sections;
VCO - Voltage Controlled Oscillator
VCF - Voltage Controlled Filter
VCA - Voltage Controlled Amplifier

This module has been designed to provide a standard synthesizer signal path. Both the VCO and VCF have a normalized output to allow isolation of each section for external use or processing to be returned back to the module through the Mix-Inputs.

Presented with minimal essential controls and with maximum control inputs. All inputs and outputs are direct and need an external attenuator if level control is required.

The absence of attenuators for the signal and control levels lowers costs and frees up valuable HP space. This design feature allows better use of space as attenuators can then be used for other signals.

The VCO is a full range oscillator sporting Saw and Pulse waveforms.

The VCF is a 2pole Multi-Pass filter with self-oscillation at high resonance.

The VCA is a clean and fast VCA with zero CV feed through.

This is the 'TYPE-1' module. This indicates the style of the module, 1 VCO, 1 VCF & 1 VCA."

Roland MKS 30 w/ Johannes Hausensteiner Mod & New Chips

via this auction

"If your viewing this listing you now what it is. but this synth comes with a great deal of extras far beyond the average MKS30. All six voices have been completely restored and socket-ed, so if one chip ever fails you will never have to send your entire board to a technician. Just buy another chip! But i highly doubt these will fail anytime in the near future. the restore and socketed voice chips alone make this synth a great steal. This synth also come with the full Johannes Hausensteiner mod (v3.6) which you can find all the specs below. this mod is no longer being sold by Johannes Hausensteiner , and i cant find it anywhere except on his website. So it is wise to put this synth in your collection. The adjustable chorus on this synth sounds amazing. you can use is with your favorite editor or the Kiwitechnics PE. auction includes roland mks 30 w/ restored voice chips and Johannes Hausensteiner mod and firmware installed, power cable. thank you and happy bidding. All international bidders must contact me first. Immediate payment is required. thank you!

1.1. Key Window Function

There is a new 'Key Window' function, which means that you can specify a split point and only MIDI notes above or below that split point will
be played by MKS30. This needs two new parameters for each patch:

#52 .. KEY WINDOW NOTE: specify note number (0..99)
It is possible to input numbers only from 0 to 99 from the MKS30
front panel and also from the MKS30 editor program (which is not
a restriction as the highest note played by MKS30 is #96).
#53 .. KEY WINDOW MODE: BELOW (o) / ABOVE (

via this auction

via the seller: "This is a Black & Gold MKII Arp Odyssey 2810. I adopted this baby from a keyboard Beta Tester, whose entire house was stacked to the roof with vintage keyboards! I moved into the world of Moog and it's time to move this amazing synth into the hands of a true Arp aficionado. This is an instrument worthy of any studio in the world and if you're a passionate musician and an enthusiast of vintage gear, then this is the machine for you.

This synths range is tremendous. From hilariously unusable sound effects to meat n' potatoes bass and leads, the Odyssey is legendary for a reason - it's a totally inspiring machine to work with. The experience of using this synth is beyond amazing. If you're making music with feeling from an inspired place, I can assure you the interface of this machine will greatly improve your wanting to play/create. Soft synths are useful and awesome sounding and I have loads of them, but they pale by comparison.

List of things I've had done to this machine:

-Repaired and restored throughout, including the following:
-Restored both oscillators.
-Repaired poorly done modulation to oscillator circuits.
-Repaired damaged foil pathways.
-Restored filter operation
-Cleaned keyboard contacts
-Stripped and cleaned boards
-Full service to all slider pots
-Fully calibrated, tuned up and tested.

All of these things were done by a VERY experienced tech at Advanced Musical Electronics..."
