"The MiniMoog Model-D, born 9/10/1973, Serial # 3073
Historically, the Minimoog is considered the very first synthesizer for musicians. Compact, affordable, simplified and based on the megalithic modular Moog synths, the Minimoog became the most popular synth of all time, and still is to this day!

Prior to the Minimoog’s release in 1970, synthesizers were custom built to order, and required a great deal of technical knowledge to be able to wire up and create a sound. The Minimoog changed all that by hard-wiring the most basic but essential of components into a compact keyboard any musician could not only play, but dial up some great sounds on. Thus, the Minimoog was the first synthesizer to show up on the shelves of music stores around the world. It features three oscillators (one of which can be used as an LFO) that could be individually tuned and offered multiple waveforms.

The Minimoog's internal wiring configuration and front panel layout has defined the general synthesizer configuration for decades. Every adjustable parameter is so clearly laid out on the front panel that the Minimoog makes a great teaching tool for anyone interested in classic subtractive synthesis. Input jacks allow you to run your own external audio through Moog’s famous 4-pole (24db/octave) low-pass filter, modulation and amplifier circuits too!

Support Synth Anatomy covering this year's Musikemesse!

"Synth Anatomy - Musikmesse 2015 - please support - http://www.gofundme.com/oq9gzc

I plan to make a journey to Frankfurt (Germany) Musikmesse 2015 to work there as reporter. I want to inform people with the latest news on software and IOS Synthesizers and make videos about them. Also I plan to interview some developers and their future ideas or updates to coming.

This will be a non profit work and cover only the travel and work fees. There are no profit at my side because I will tell you news about my love to software synthesizers.

This week the Arturia iMini"

Paraphonic Doepfer A-100

Published on Mar 16, 2015 Computing.Sound

"Looking at all the new monosynths, which came out 'recently', that are including a paraphonic mode made me want to try 'paraphony'.

I adapted the A-152 patch from the Doepfer homepage,
instead of the A-162 I used the A-171-2 VCS and only two A-110-1 VCOs."

"The Broom Institute presents: Instructional Video A for the game 'Synthesizer', a 7 day roguelike challenge game from 2015."

Thought this was interesting. I've reached out to Pango on YouTube to find out if this is or will be available for others to try at some point. I'll post back if I hear from him.

Roland System 100 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Model 101 and Model 102

via this auction

"The synthesizer 101 is a completely self-contained analog semi modular single-Synth. It features a 37-key keyboard (no performance controls, velocity or aftertouch), and a controller. The design is similar to the Roland SH-series analog synthesizer. The controls for VCO, LFO, VCF low-pass / high-pass filter, VCA with ADSR, Noise, and portamento / glide effects are easy to reach. There is also a handy A-440Hz tuning oscillator, as shown on the Minimoog.

The expander 102 is upright behind the main synthesizer 101. The expander has in addition to the VCO, VCF, ADSR, LFO and mixer on sample and hold function and a ring modulator. The expander is an excellent way to expand the 101 to a system with multiple oscillators and synthesizer effects such as S & H and ring modulator. The expander 102 is much less than the 101 because many people only 101 could afford alone.

The synthesizers have all the right parts 3.5mm jacks to which they are ideal synthesizer with popular Modular modules eg Doepfer connections and can be extended.

The equipment is in fully working and also slightly good optical condition for their age. The 102 was partially revised a few years ago in Japan. Of course, there are some signs of wear and signs of aging such as scratches etc. See example in the pictures next to the S & H section. But the system is finally over 35 years old! It was owned by a rock band at that time, they modified it with DIN plug to quickly connect the two main modules using only one Din cable. This Modification is fully passive and could be removed but it was made at that time so i left it as it was..."
