Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh Interview on NPR on the New Minimoog Model D

NPR posted an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh on the synths that changed pop music. Click through and hit the red play button on the top left. The Minimoog Model D gets the focus. This one in via Ali.

via NPR: "Long ago, electronic music was created on massive consoles the size of refrigerators. But in 1970, the Minimoog Model D was unleashed, and its impact was nothing short of revolutionary. It was the driving force behind new sounds that emerged in years to come — jazz-rock from Herbie Hancock, electrifying pop from Michael Jackson and futuristic music from Devo, the rock and synth pop group perhaps best known for 'Whip It.'

This year, Moog Music is reissuing the Minimoog, hand-building them almost exactly as they were over four decades ago. Mark Mothersbaugh, a composer, producer and Devo founding member, joined NPR's Rachel Martin to explain the Minimoog's significance — and his pure love for the instrument. (One of Mothersbaugh's own Minimoogs from the mid-'70s joined the interview as well; hear the full conversation at the audio link.)

The revelatory thing about the Minimoog, Mothersbaugh says, was its portability: You could fold it up and travel with it. 'In the old days, synths were like people standing around in lab coats touching knobs and dials,' he says. 'And this allowed you to move out of that environment into nightclubs.'"

Roland MC-505 Groovebox with Aira Skin For Sale

via this auction

You might remember this one from this post.

"Here is a unique opportunity to acquire a one of a kind Roland MC-505 Groovebox.

Completely stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt, this 505 has had two replacement pots which came direct from Roland, the last ones in stock we were led to believe. The other pots have been rebuilt.
A new reproduction slider has also been fitted as the originals are now unobtainable, this has been carefully trimmed to match since the picture was taken. And finally a replacement Tact Switch.

As you can see from the pictures, the power supply has been fully re-capped using Nichicon capacitors where possible.

Also visible from the pictures you can see that the screen is unmarked with no lines etc, which can be common on these.

This 505 has a custom skin made by StyleFlip, which was designed by ourselves to give the 505 the look of a modern Aira, which really brings it up to date. This is made of a special material which makes for easy removal and re-application. If you find that you are not 100% happy with the fitment you can simply peel off carefully and re-apply to your liking.
