Free Befaco Workshop Coming to Barcelona This Saturday and Sunday

via Befaco

The modular DIY synth workshop will be this weekend at The Hangar, Barcelona.

No previous skills needed.   The event itself is free.  If you'd like to build and take home a kit there is a fee to cover the cost of course.  Other synth projects are also welcome so this appears to be an event geared to those interested in synth DIY in general.

"On Sunday evening/night, we will finish the workshop with what we call a 'Patch Meeting', a special kind of modular event for interchanging patch and music ideas between 'Noodle nerds'.

The entrance is free for both workshop and meeting. For the workshop you just pay for the kits you want to build if you want to build some Befaco modules (other synth projects are also welcome)."

Ondioline Olivier Briand

via Olivier: "here you will find some démos of my grandfather's Ondioline....he made it with a Kit in 1956, so this is a unique model. The unit was not working and all condensers have been changed, so i was happy to play again with it and demonstrate it."

Video description:
"Petits tests autour de l'Ondioline de mon grand père fabriquée en Janvier 1956, elle reviens de révision et re-sonne enfin !
Modèle unique fabriqué en KIT.
Vous pourrez l'admirer et l'essayer lors du prochain "Synth-Fest" à Nantes en 2015 les 2/3/4/5 Avril au "Dix" place des garennes."

Moog Prodigy, Upgraded 336BX Model with CV, S-Trigger, Audio In SN 3561X

via this auction

"This moog has worked on numerous hits. It comes in excellent working condition and extensive work has been carried out to upgrade the Inputs and Outputs. A must for any music and vintage gear lover."

The listing title also states "Audio Vocoder in & out".  Curious if that just refers to standard filtering of the audio in or if it's somehow rigged to "vocode" the oscillators along with it.  One band vocoder?  I'm guessing not.  If anyone knows feel free to comment.
