"In this interview, Herbert Deutsch recounts his life in music—including the genesis and collaborative process behind creating the first Moog synthesizer with Bob Moog. These two pioneers of synthesis worked together to create a portable electronic instrument with endless sound potential, thanks to the power of “voltage control.” The Moog prototype is an essential part of music history; its sound has continued to impact popular and experimental music alike since the 1960s. Today, Moog Music, Inc. continues to revolutionize synthesis—while paying homage to the root notes of its past."
"This is a powerful MIDI prototyping platform that converts incoming MIDI events into electrical signals that make experimentation easy!
A few years ago we built a synthesizer prototyping tool called Protosynth. The project was such a big hit that people requested the ability to buy their own, so we designed a powerful MIDI controlled version!
Over the last few years, we have refined Protosynth Midi to be powerful, flexible, and easy to use.
Protosynth Midi are built in limited quantities by hand here at the Tymkrs Wrkshp. Every unit is assembled, tested, and given a unique serial number. The beautiful handmade hardwood cases with traditional joinery hold your circuit at an angle so you can tinker in comfort and style!"
"First run with the Roli Seaboard Rise 49 into Expert Sleepers FH-1 controlling a single voice from the modular (2 Dixie II's, Cyclebox and STO sub, into Korgasmatron). Processing by Malgorithm and then Clouds. Pitch and gate from FH-1 (obviously). Using custom script from Roli, the XY pad has been mapped to the outs of the FH-1 and is used to control bit depth and sample rate in the Malgorithm, as well as size and position in Clouds. Pressure controls the mix on the Malgorithm. The slide parameter of the Rise is routed to a VCA, which controls an LFO routed to the frequency of the LPF (Korgasmatron)."
"listen with headphones or proper monitors.
Attention, deep fat bass inside.
from my modular directly into the camera (except a little tune from MI Ambika through El Capistan)
still working on my techno maschine:-D
nice filtersweeps from Doepfer Wasp in highpass mode and Happy Nerding MMM VCF n stereo lowpass mode.
unfortunately some hickups from the reset of a sequencer I still have to solve.
Instruments are:
TT808 Kick
DPO-RxMx-MMG-Optomix Bass
Nebulae-Optomix Sample
Telharmonic-Lxd Pad
Mysteron High Hats
Erbe Verb for Reverb
DubJr for Delay"
"First mins spent on the 2 panels I cleaned from the Serge Paperface.
TBK sequencing + trying a NTO FMed by PCO + Variable Slope VCF.
No effects added and the volume is also not corrected."
"An itinerant Model 15 stopped through Synth City a few weeks back. There was just enough time for our product specialist Wesley Groves to coax a wall of droning doom and pitch black dark ambience out of the synth, presented here in one live take. No talking, no patch breakdowns, just pure live Moog power.
Equipment used: Moog Model 15, Moog 953 keyboard, Moog CP-251, Moog MF-104M Delay, and Strymon Blue Sky Reverb."
"We've been asked if there's a demand for a Linndrum cover in 2016. The answer is obvious: NO! It's only love"
Thought this was pretty cool. I used to get some the same question regarding some of the posts that have gone up over the years here on MATRIXSYNTH. In case anyone still wonders... We do it for the love of synths. :)
