Published on Feb 19, 2016 anthony burchell

Patch notes:
Main chord pad voice: Mutable Instruments Elements with some modulation on the Geometry coming from the Mutable Peaks in LFO mode.
Second Lead Voice: Pittsburgh Waveforms into the LPG being modulated by the Pittsburgh Envelope. The out of the filter is going into the WMD DPLR (doppler) for delay.

The demo video shows some self-made and some factory sounds from the rare Tiracon 6V analog synthesizer from the year 1987.

The Tiracon 6V is made in GDR. I saw this synthesizer first at the Leipziger autumn fair in 1987. It was the second synth made in GDR after the Vermona Synthesizer from 1982.

VCF: 24 dB low-pass with resonance

"Really nice well taken care of Memorymoog plus #3311 that has recently been completely serviced/restored, tuned and calibrated. It works exactly as it should. There are no dents or major cosmetic issues. Just a few minor signs of use. What you are buying is a really pretty Moog that I'm positive you will be happy you purchased. The wood is in excellent condition and it feels and plays fantastic.

In addition to being a good looking Moog with only minor signs of use (a few light scratches etc) no expense has been spared making sure this Moog functions like new. The following was recently done by a Moog expert with 30 years of experience working on these:

Cleaned chassis and fan
Cleaned and re-seated all internal connectors
Cleaned and burnished all pushbutton switches
Cleaned all controls
Cleaned all jacks
Cleaned all PC boards
Cleaned and burnished all keyboard key contacts and pads
Replaced memory backup battery
Calibrated power supply
Tested and touched up all six voice tuning and tracking calibrations
Tested all functions and calibrations
Replaced several chips that are known to fail over time with NOS chips
Now all the knobs move silky smooth and it sounds massive/fantastic. A complete service really makes a difference. I know a lot people "upgrade" the fans on these but that involves drilling holes in your precious Moog so I passed on that idea. Other than that I spared no expense on making this function as good as it could.

There are only about 10 guys in the states who are qualified to work on Memorymoogs in my opinion and half of them will take two years to service them and charge over 100 dollars an hour. I think having a 100 percent serviced Memorymoog that has been taken care of is a bargain compared to an "as is" Memorymoog that can turn into a money pit. I think whoever buys this will be really happy. It will be ready for the stage or studio right out of the box!"
