Landmarks - Korg PolySix, ER-1, Roland TR-606, TR-707
Published on Mar 27, 2014 traxus12·11 videos
"Bit of a slow jam with the new hardware setup. I sequence the PolySix by recording a MIDI loop into Ableton then go to town twiddling knobs on the synth itself. The drum machines are all synced with Ableton as master clock. I'm loving the 606 and 707. This has been my first chance to really mess around with them synced together. Feel free to post below if you have any questions or comments!

If you are not familiar with Gakken, it's a Japanese magazine that sometimes comes with an included gadget. There was an SX-150 and SX-150 mkII analog synths, two theremins, and a GMC4 microcomputer. A search on Gakken will bring up some videos and pics. You can find Gakken products on eBay here.
1967 R.A. Moog Modular # 1019 For Sale

For sale here.
Update: also on MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS
Description and images captured with permission for the archives:
For Sale: Visibly stunning and working 1967 R.A. Moog Modular III-P in original portable hardwood plywood cabinets, formerly owned by The Monkees, power module 910 serial 1019. The only wood III-P ever produced. Serials start at 1002 and are dated Sept 15 1967. Paul Beaver’s sticker appears on a 911A (Serial 1009) dated Nov 20 1967 and a 901A (Serial 1009) is stamped Sept 21 1967. Rumored to have been played by John Lennon 'for hours to make flying saucer sounds'. Also owned by Bobby Sherman. Appears to be all original, including keyboard, which also works. Includes many original patch cables, five out of six wood covers as well. Powers up and plays. All oscillators output sound. There are some issues with some modules including scratchy pots and or intermittent audio. To the best of our knowledge it's lived in sunny and most importantly- dry California all of it's 47 years. No mold, no mildew, no visible issues less some oxidization on three hexnuts, a couple of very small, minor rubs on 904 and a few strange markings on a few modules in the corners, sort of a sine wave with a slash through it. Cigarette burn on top right corner of the wood keyboard case. Very early mixer(s) & possible prototype I/O module(s) and keyboard interface, all at the bottom of each case with no serials or model numbers. Notice large toggle switches and black & white labeling.
Please Note: We are accepting bids for this highly collectible musical instrument. We welcome pre-qualified buyers to inspect and demo in person. We'd prefer not to ship it. International buyers welcome and please arrange for qualified agents to inspect and ship. Located in Sacramento, Ca."

Will Gregory Moog Ensemble Coming to Brighton
via Tim Mantle on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
via brightonfestival.org
"As one half of the electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, the keyboard-player and composer Will Gregory is one of the UK's leading advocates of using synthesizers and electronic instruments to create new sounds and reinvent old ones. Now he has formed a unique ensemble around eight Moog synthesizers, the technology that elevates music into an exhilarating wave of complex sound. Operatic one moment and computer-game technical the next, Gregory spins the Moog vocabulary of squelches and plops into a hypnotic and relentless sonic sensation to create fresh, intoxicating soundscapes. This concert features Gregory's live score to Rick Holbrook's poignant film The Service of Tim Henman."

Sample & Hold With a Serge Smooth Function Generator
Published on Mar 27, 2014 Doug Lynner·18 videos
"Using a pulse with a long duty cycle into the Hold input the smooth side of a Serge Smooth & Stepped Function Generator can do Sample & Hold too!
Though this is illustrated on a Serge the concepts apply to many modular synthesizers. Let me know how you apply this on your modular synthesizer.
To see the modules used in this patch in detail see the Mystery Serge at http://www.serge.synth.net/gallery/dl....

Make Noise Teleplexer
via Control Synthesizers and Electronic Devices on Facebook
"The new Make Noise Teleplexer is now available. Cool to see M_N expanding their line of touch controllers and taking it a step futher by offering something not only untraditional in terms of operation but also in terms of physical interaction (those of you not keeping up, the metal surface is meant to be played with the ends of patch cables). Bonus: LED Backlit Channel Indactors, nice touch.
Now In Stock"
The Hamlet 2000 Skulldrone
via Ivory Bunker where you'll find additional details, videos and schematics. via Tomoroh Hidari on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"Basically the Hamlet 2000 is a little Lunetta box, similar in spirit to the nand synth I built a while ago or my little blue lunchetta box which is based on the Heterodyne Space Explorer.
Housed in a novelty plastic skull (the size of a shrunken head), the Hamlet 2000 has two Audio- and two Control-Oscillators (LFOs, if you wish). The control oscillators each drive an LED which is coupled to an LDR to form a simple vactrol. These vactrols, in combination with a 100k Pot, each, set the frequencies of the audio oscillators and, unless the control oscs run at “full speed”, rhythmically switch the audio oscillators on and off.
For some additional visual effects the LEDs are “mirrored” by a pair of additional LEDs placed in the eye sockets of the Skull. The signal is summed via fixed transistors (an “on board” trimmer can be used to set the level)."
