Bob Moog Foundation's Ignite Gala Sparks a Crowd
[BMF's Michelle Moog-Koussa and Toto's Steve Porcaro]
"Encino, CA - October 2014... The First Annual Bob Moog Foundation Ignite Gala is one for the history books, exceeding even the most optimistic expectations.
Held to benefit the Foundation's hallmark educational initiative, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, the event brought a full house of the best and brightest in music, recording, science, and technology to the splendid Encino, California home of Michael and Edie Lehmann Boddicker.
Guests were treated to an intimate candlelight dinner, capped by an amazing performance by a star-studded house band that included keyboardists CJ Vanston (Prince, Tina Turner, Toto, Joe Cocker, Spinal Tap) and Steve Porcaro (Toto), bassist Leland Sklar (James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Toto), drummer Joe Pusateri (John Lee Hooker, John Entwistle, the Muppets "Animal"), guitarists Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan) and Tony Valenziano (The Stand, Smash), and singers Joseph Williams (Toto) and Rob Giles (Circa Zero, The Rescues), as well as a guest performance by theremin virtuoso Michael Gough."
[The House Band: Joseph Williams, Joe Pusateri, Steve Porcaro, CJ Vanston, Jeff Baxter, Tony Valenziano, Leland Sklar]" Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Bob Moog Foundation's hallmark educational initiative, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, a 10-week experiential curriculum teaching children about the science of sound through the magic of music. Now in its fourth year, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool currently serves more than 1,000 second-grade students in 55 classrooms. Executive Director Michelle Moog-Koussa, shared with guests the Foundation's plans to expand Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, including an upcoming pilot program in Southern California.
Visitors were welcome to see and play many of Boddicker's vintage instruments from his extensive collection, including a rare, custom engineered Moog modular synthesizer, Polymoog, Minimoog Model D, Moog Drum Controller, Big Briar theremin signed by Bob Moog, Moog String Filter, and a custom Multiple Resonance Filter Array-24 designed by Moog himself. Within the rooms of Michael Boddicker's studio, guests were treated to exclusive previews of new inventions in the Inventor's Corner including the new Vo-96, a revolutionary acoustic synthesizer for guitars, the Jambé, a new electronic percussion instrument, and Center Point Stereo monitor, which delivers a 300 degree sound field from a single cabinet."
'We were absolutely overwhelmed by the attendance at our first Ignite Gala, and by the tremendous support we have received,' remarked Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation. 'This is just the first in a series of events we have planned to raise awareness for the Foundation, and it is clear that Dr. Bob's SoundSchool is a program that resonates with educators and parents nationwide. We're looking forward to our next event.'
'It was a tremendous honor for me and the band to pay tribute to Bob Moog's pioneering legacy by performing at this event for the Bob Moog Foundation," stated musical director CJ Vanston. "What a great way to honor the legacy of a man whose innovations have brought so much to contemporary music.'"

Shruthi-1 Programmer / Editor with 3 Voiceboards
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Shruthi is a hybrid digital/analog monosynth.
Its hardware design is deceptively simple, but the sonic range is wide: sometimes grungily digital like a PPG-Wave, fat
and funky like a SH-101, videogame-y like a Commodore 64, weird and warm like an ESQ-1 ; but more often than not, truly original.
Contrary to the hardware you can purchase at the music shop next door, a Shruthi isn’t designed to be industrially manufactured.
Indeed, its assembly doesn’t require any specialized equipment, besides a screwdriver, cutters, a soldering iron and two hands.
You will receive a fully assembled, tested and working Shruthi-1 "Editor" with two Voice/Filter-boards and the "Hardware" Editor in one case.
With the "digital" Programmer you are defining and editing the sounds directly on the synth. Each Filterboard has it's own audio in and output (6,3mm) and
is midi controllable.
The installed voice/filtercards are:
- Roland IR3109 Filterboard (Demo of the actual unit) with Original Roland IR3109 Chips and Capacitors.
- Tubeohm Ladder VCF (Demos can be found here)
The third voice/filtercard is the SVF Filter from Mutable Instruments:
- Demo"

frequencycentral continuum phaser module

"Vendor Info:
Continuum has it’s roots in my previous guitar effects pedal designs. First there was Causality 4, then Causality 6, then Gemini Dual Core.
Continuum looks and acts rather like a VCF, in fact that’s exactly what a phaser is, an all-pass VCF. There’s far more to phasers than just sweeps up and down from an LFO, so Continuum has two CV inputs, so you can use a variety of CV sources simultaneously.
The topology of Continuum is 4 swept OTA all-pass filter stages with a fixed all-pass filter stage either side of the swept core. There’s a switch to select regen over odd or even stages. Most phasers stick to odd stages, but there are undiscovered sonic possibilities using even stages of regen.
Continuum @ Modular Grid
Wanna hear it? First, let’s phase some pink noise:
Continuum Noise
So now, with a couple of VCOs as audio, let’s send S/H into one CV input then an ADSR into the other, while slowly turning up the resonance:
Continuum SH Env
Now, a single VCO as audio, with ADSR to one CV input of Continuum, and slowly introducing a -1oct sub osc to the other CV input:
Continuum FM
Finally, here’s how it sounds phasing my Roland RS-09:
Continuum RS09"

"Vendor Info:
Frequency Central proudly announce the release of the ‘System X Filter’.
It’s a clone of the Roland System 100M VCF, and uses 2 x LM13700. There’s an additional 12dB/oct output which is 180 degrees out of phase with the 24dB/oct output. Mixing the two outputs will give bandpass.
First up, classic 24dB/oct LPF. The two VCOs are my Hearn Morley HMVCO1c, there is a little -1oct subosc added as FM of the VCF towards the end of the clip:
Roland-12 1-24dB-LPF.mp3
Next, the 12dB/oct LPF output, again a touch of subosc FM towards the end:
Roland-12 1-12dB-LPF.mp3
Finally, by mixing both 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct outputs in equal amount we have the bandpass mode:
Roland-12 1-Bandpass.mp3
Module width: 10HP
Module depth: 65mm
Current draw: +10ma/-10ma"

Rare Plan B Model 10 Polyphonic Envelope Eurorack Module
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This seems to be also one of the "older" modules from the series. It works fine without any issue.
Reason why the module is called “polyphonic” is because it can output 4 different type of voltage “envelope” at the same time.
More info about this module here and here"
"The PlanB model 10 is a multifunctional module, not only a simple envelope.
The name “polyphonic envelope” does not describe the functions of this great module, the reason why they called it “polyphonic” is because it can output 4 different type of voltage “envelope” at the same time.
In fact the M10 is way more versatile than an envelope, this is really similar to the Bananalogue VCS module, a multitask voltage controlled cv generator .
The main task is the ENVELOPE.
The envelope consist of an AD env with RISE (0.5 ms-5 min attack)and FALL (0.5 ms – 5 min decay/release) controlled not by gate signals but by Triggers.
The attack and decay time can stretched x8 times their duration with the TIMEBASE control knob (so the complete envelope can last from 0.5 milliseconds to 20 minutes).
You can stretch the time manually just turning the knob or controlling it with the VC TB (voltage control timebase).
The VC TB can act in positive or negative, so it can add or subtract.
Than there is the level of the env, which is bipolar too , so it can act as a positive or inverted envelope.
On the left there are the 5 connectors for the 4 different envelopes generated:
EOC
EOA
RAMP
2x AD (with ad contour switch)
The AD acts as the classic “trig” envelope, with 3 different contour (log, lin, exp).
The RAMP is a ramp with rise time 2x the RISE control time.
The EOA is a sustained square which falls when receive a trig and performs the AD cycle at the “End Of Attack”.
The EOC acts as the EOA but the AD starts at the End Of Contour.
LFO MODE
The rise-fall cycle can be looped and can also work as an lfo.
Using the rise and fall it can produce various waveform between the tri, square, saw, ramp…
The interesting thing is that the timebase knob can control the time of the lfo, so it a vc lfo, the other thing that can lead to creative results is the fact that the rate of the lfo is not controlled by the timebase only, but it ’s a mix of the rise and fall time.
So the shorter is the R&F the faster will be the lfo rate.
VCO MODE
The third interesting mode is the vco function.
The module has a triangle-core , so it can sound useful even as a vco.
To get the vco mode you have to switch into LFO and use fast R&F time and “tune” the oscillator with the timebase function and VC TB to control it with a keyboard cv.
It does not reach very high frequencies but can be used on the low and mid range as an audio modulator or a audio source.
TIPS:
I noticed two useful tips:
As the core is a TRI-core the envelope create a sort of clip when, reached the max value,start the fall.
To avoid the clip it’s useful to use a lowpass filter post the VCA.
In LFO mode don’t connect any source to the trig in because the summing of the two sources can damage the module , too high voltage!"
