"I am transitioning from making music only on a laptop 100% to an almost all hardware basis. In order to get all the MIDI talking together I'm using an iconnectmidi 2 which still requires a computer as a host. Which is kinda cool as I bought the push and love using it as I am not a keyboard player. Ableton makes it so easy to get everyone talking. Without relying on VST's and a mouse, the completely different mindset it takes to interact with each piece of gear on it's own terms is so wonderfully refreshing!"

Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit Pole Banners to Benefit BMF

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

"December 11, 2013 (ASHEVILLE, NC) – Over Halloween weekend, Asheville, North Carolina came alive with sonic enlightenment through the Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit – a celebration of artistic expression across multiple genres and eras. Headliners included Nine Inch Nails, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Neutral Milk Hotel, Animal Collective, Gary Numan, and more. Vertical banners announcing the festival and headliners graced the downtown streets. In a continuing effort to give back to the community in which the festival was held, Mountain Oasis organizers have donated the banners to the Bob Moog Foundation. The banners will be auctioned on eBay beginning Wednesday, December 11, 2013.

The 10 day auction will feature six banners measuring 60”x30” made of 20 ounce smooth vinyl. The signage includes the name and logo for the festival and the logo/image for the respective headlining bands.

Ashley Capps, president of AC Entertainment, the organization which produces Mountain Oasis, states, “AC Entertainment is proud to offer continued support to the Bob Moog Foundation’s educational and historic preservation initiatives, both of which were featured at the festival. We believe in music as a medium not only to entertain, but to enlighten and we are heartened see the Foundation’s efforts to teach science through music flourishing with their growing project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool."

Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, acknowledges “AC Entertainment has been a major supporter of our efforts for four years. With their help, the Foundation is affecting the lives of thousands of children in Western North Carolina and beyond. We inspire the future through innovative education. The auction for the banners, in addition to the support generated through the festival itself, will help keep our organization healthy and growing.”

WALDORF MICROWAVE 1 Rev A

"WALDORF MICROWAVE 1 Rev A... with CEM 3389 and OS 2.0..."

via the Waldorf-User FAQ:

"Q: What different microwave I versions are known?

A: Rev A:
- frontpanel dark metalic blue, not painted, anodized metal
- rotary encoder has 52 ticks per revolution, has rippled, metal shaft with slot
- uses Curtis CEM 3389
- LCD has black characters on green background
- case is black


Rev B:
- frontpanel is made from Nextel, gray-blue, silkscreening blurry, rubs off
- high quality red dial
- rotary encoder has 24 ticks per revolution, has even, flattened plastic shaft
- uses Curtis CEM 3387
- LCD has green characters on black background
- case is grey

I assume that the change from Rev A to Rev B was not done by a step-function, so
there could be mixtures of all the attributes...

sonically they are nearly the same. The change of the filter didn't changed the microWave sound that much. And although the older version used the same Curtis filter chip as the big Waldorf WAVE, the sound is totally different.

There is also a single microWave with a chrome front plate (and a spare front plate like this in the hands of an ex-Waldorf employee). And the 99 last microWaves build came named "the mean green machine" with a green front plate and some spikes to put the unit on the shelf. Also included was a document in the look of a contract. It said you are not allowed to play folk music and that you have to feed the mean green MW I with all available software upgrades."

"This is a very rare, one-of-a-kind guitar designed to function as a regular guitar and an organ complete with multiple organ-style settings located on the guitar. It even includes the original organ volume pedal!..  The organ portion of the instrument is a 6-note polyphonic circuit which allows full guitar chords to be played. The guitar section always remains playable but organ notes can be played alone or simultaneously with the guitar. The frets are divided into six segments creating independent contact switches for each string. This allows several noted to be played by making contact with the string against the fret. The expression pedal is then used to bring in the organ sounds so the player can have only the guitar signal, only the organ signal or both at the same time. As stated above the truss rod is not functioning properly but all notes can be played on the neck without any fretting out or significant buzzing."
