Exploring Moog Sub 37

Published on Jan 15, 2017 BoBeats

"Today I am exploring the Moog Sub 37 and its LFOs. It has 2x LFOs and many ways to modulate parameters. It is perhaps not as deep as say my Analog Keys but you can create some really cool stuff on it. This is me playing two notes having the LFOs do the movement of the sound."

Furby Organ Diary Pt1, How to sync a circuit bent furby to a synth

Published on Jan 15, 2017 LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

Those eyes!!!

"So I'm planning on building quite a large project involving 50 furbies from a concept idea notebook from 2011. it involves each furry being tuned and hooked up to a separate key.

but it didn't go smoothly to start with so i started to build something else. which was a furby with 2 simple bends, but the major difference between this and other circuit bent furbies is its able to be synced to a synthesiser.

The schematic is at the end of the video! screenshot it, I've omitted any extra components to make it super simple!

it uses just 2 5v relays. i used EDRZ01A500 if you type that in on the electronics shop of your choice, or eBay! you'll find it. also you can find the pinout on the data sheet.

the relays basically just turn on the circuit bends on the furby when there is enough voltage to do so!

the 2 bends i used are very common and can be found on this site for more info :- http://circuit-bent.net/furby-bending..."

"Vintage Original EMS Synthi AKS synthesizer in NEAR MINT condition.My father purchased a EMS Synthi AKS synthesizer in ruff condition.For many years he kept this Synthi in its original box and never put a hand on it.The unit is currently in working order and has been basically untouched and un-used."

Good price as well considering.

Update: I have a couple of reports in that this one might be a scam. Priced at 5,271.81 it may be too good to be true. As always be careful!

Update2: here it is from 2012.
