All tracks generated using custom patches I made on the Blofeld with a TR-8 providing rhythm backing. I sent the choir sounds through a JH Triple Chorus module I built.

Big Sky and Timefactor effects used here and there. All tracks recorded direct to Cubase SX3 via E-mu 1616. NO additional eq, compressors, etc. were used."

Published on Jan 29, 2016 Endangered Audio Research Video

Only 3 Prebuilt Tabletops Remain - SALE - $329:

The last 3 prebuilt tabletops come with a Filter Mix In/Out switch, as well as Moog-style knobs (like the one featured in the video).

We are also selling off our remaining stock of Gristleizer box faceplates - contact mark@endangeredaudioresearch.com if you would like to reserve one.

If you want a Gristleizer Eurorack module, I’m sorry, but you’re too late! We’ve sold out of them as well, and will be retiring The Gristleizer line for good (though our circuit will arise again in an even newer, updated form and under a new name, TBD).

For those of you who’ve bought a Eurorack module, the filter will sound the same in yours as in this video. Also, you can now find it on Modular Grid!

A bassline with the Roland System-1m by Jordan Passmore

Published on Feb 3, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo displays a bassline being played by the Roland System-1m synthesizer. Ableton is doing the drums (using Fairlight samples)and the MIDI sequencing for the System-1m. The bassline is being tweaked live and consists of mostly PWM and sawtooth settings."

Moog Receives Outstanding Technical Achievement Award at 31st Annual TEC Awards

"Moog Receives Outstanding Technical Achievement Award for its Modular Recreation at 31st Annual TEC Awards

Anaheim, Calif. – February 3, 2016 – Moog Music announced that it has won an award for Outstanding Technical Achievement from the NAMM Foundation for its faithful recreation of the Model 15, System 35 and System 55 modular synthesizers. Moog Music CEO and President Mike Adams was on hand to accept the award, which was presented in the Musical Instrument Hardware category at a special recognition ceremony on January 23rd during the 2016 NAMM show.

'It is an immense honor to be recognized with a TEC award for the Modular Recreation,' said Adams. 'The award is a testament to the genius of Bob Moog’s original designs created over 40 years ago, and the hard work our team at Moog Music has put into faithfully recreating these classic instruments.'

Presented by the NAMM Foundation, the TEC Awards celebrate the best in professional audio technology and sound production. TEC award recipients are selected by a panel of respected industry professionals from the audio and creative disciplines. In addition to its win for the Modular Recreation, Moog Music was also nominated in the Musical Instrument Amplification & Effects category for its MF-Chorus and MF-Flange Minifooger analog effects pedals.

Modular Recreation
Following its recreation of the Emerson Moog Modular system last year, Moog began handcrafting three more modular systems starting in January 2015. These Modular Recreations include the System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15 analog synthesizers. Each system matches the original product specifications, manufacturing techniques and processes from the 1970s. Every module is built just as they were in 1973 - by hand-stuffing and hand-soldering components to circuit boards, and using traditional wiring methods. Even the front panels are photo-etched aluminum, a classic process rarely used today, to maintain the classic and durable look of vintage Moog modules.

About Moog Music:
Moog Music synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments are designed and lovingly handcrafted in the Moog factory in downtown Asheville, N.C. Moog Music and its customers carry on the legacy of Dr. Robert Moog, inventor of the Moog synthesizer and Founder of Moog Music Inc."

5th Annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge

"In celebration of the creative curiosity that fueled a young Bob Moog and all of those that follow in his footsteps, Moog is sponsoring its 5th Annual Circuit Bending Contest.

This year, Moog’s circuit bending challenge is to take a battery powered device and circuit bend it into an instrument capable of creating new and unique sounds. We want others to be inspired by your device, and share in the experience of creating something new and exciting. Your project has to be completed in a manner that can be replicated by others. You’ll need to create a step by step list of instructions so that anyone else can replicate the process and create the same instrument. Just to make things a bit more interesting, you’ll need to complete the entire project for $70 or less."

The following is a playlist of last year's finalists.
