'Silvered Stomp' by Robots Against Children

Hi all,

So, I've come to realize something. I tend to get bored very easily using the same gear so I'm constantly pulling things off the shelves and putting them together in new configurations. I'm fortunate because I have enough gear to do that and it helps to keep me learning and engaged but it is probably not always the best thing to keep me getting better.

I've noticed that every time I put a brand new set up together, my first go with it is generally a little rough around the edges. It seems it takes me a while, through working several different tracks on the same set up, before I can really dial in the sound and music.

This track is a first go. More or less, just a "rough and tumble" acid techno workout to start dialing things in with this rig. There are things I certainly like about it but I can concede to myself that I have room to grow here. Regardless, I hope it is enjoyed. Hope you all are well."

Erica Black series are high-end modules with unique functionality. Only the highest quality components are used and all inputs and outputs are protected against undesired overvoltage. When designing the Black Series, we did not economise on the module width, we put design and usability first. Big knobs are assigned to functions that make difference in sound. The Erica Black series are a range of modules that together make an entire synthesizer.

New, Historical Bob Moog Timeline Features Rare Archival Material & Getting Geeky: Synthesizers and Brainwaves

via The Bob Moog Foundation:

"We are proud to announce the release of a new, historical Bob Moog timeline, which traces the historical evolution of Bob's professional path. With nearly 100 different posts, the timeline reveals brand new archival material, including some never before seen family photos, documents, and letters, as well as many points in Moog history that are little known.

This is the most comprehensive timeline on Bob Moog that you will find online.

Check out the timeline here.

All of the historical images on the timeline can be expanded for better viewing, and many of the posts have expandable text for those seeking a deeper understanding of Bob Moog's history.

We will continue to add to the timeline periodically. Be sure to check back and see what's new!

We have labored over this timeline, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Let us know what you think by emailing us at info@moogfoundation.org."

"Moog modular historian Thom Holmes returns with an examination of Richard Teitelbaum, who made the earliest and boldest use of the Moog in improvisational music, and was co-founder of the free improvisation ensemble Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV). Teitelbaum befriended Bob Moog and asked him to find a way to amplify sub-audio brainwaves to use as control voltages with the Moog synthesizer.

Korg Minilogue Sequencer Presets (part 1)

Published on Jun 2, 2016 synth-love

"Demo of the Minilogue preset sequencer patterns. I go through each pattern with the sequencer on. Afterward, I play a few notes of each patch without the sequencer so you can hear how the patch sounds without the sequence playing."
