"#NCState: @NCStateEngr Alumni & @moogmusicinc president Mike Adams returns to campus this Thursday (3/22) to talk about his career post @NCState and about #Moog Music’s past, present, and future: lib.ncsu.edu/events/amazing…"
"Mike Adams graduated from NC State in 1979 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. For the past 15 years he has served as president of Moog Music, the Asheville headquartered company founded by Robert Moog. Adams will talk about his career post NC State and about Moog Music’s present and future."
Sonic Scenarios is a series of videos chronicling the features, designs and sounds of Eurorack format synthesizer modules with sound designer Mike Kiraly — Presented by Control.

"The Mantic Conceptual FLEX is an amazing and unique effect originally designed and released in a Guitar Pedal format. We recently teamed up with the Mantic team to adapt the pedal into a Eurorack module.
In this video we go through the features and knobset of the Mantic Euro Flex integrated into a modular synthesizer. We run bass lines, Drums, and an entire mix through it by using it as an auxillary send on the WMD Performance Mixer.
Other modules include the WMD Arpitecht,WMD/SSF Spectrum. WMD/SSF MMF, WMD/SSF ADSRVCA. All rhythms are triggered by a WMD protorype trigger sequencer, which is coming soon ;).
"Available soon at dealers worldwide and at WMDevices.com
We recently helped our friends over at Mantic Effects adapt their popular FLEX guitar pedal into the Eurorack modular format.
Initially released in 2014, the Mantic Flex lead the charge in the recent upsurge of PLL (phase locked loop) popularity and continues to set itself apart from other PLL's in that it is an original design and not a Schumann derivative. The Flex Pro is voiced and biased to offer what we found to be the most readily usable range of PLL sounds in a broad musical context, without compromising the users ability to experiment.
Notable users include Nick Reinhardt, Adrian Belew, Jack White, Justin Meldal-Johnson, Simon Francis, Claudio Sanchez, Ikey Owens, and Juan Alderete.
Added features in the Eurorack module include full voltage control, integrated input VCA, a dry/wet mix, VCO Offset control as well as a CV Octave control that interacts with the VCO Offset.
"´Make Noise asked me to do a reel for their Morphagene Eurorack module - here it is: https://freesound.org/people/makenois...
You can of course use the sounds with any DAW or Sampler, too. If you like what I do, support me by buying my music: https://hainbach.bandcamp.com/"
"Old Nik says: "The MonoWave(X) is a early GEM from Paula Maddox... The unknown (to many) ancestor of the Modal Electronics 001/002! It's super! Think PPG Wave and Moog Model D had a baby, and that is the MonoWave(X)..."
Manufacturer Description:
The Monowave was the brainchild of UK electronics designer, Paula Maddox. Paula has been designing and building synths for many years as well as releasing her own unique music realized on her impressive modular creations.
Paula wanted to build a synth the roots of which lay in the PPG. Originally intended as a monophonic bass synth, the Monowave has uses beyond that.
The Monowave is a wavetable synthesiser with 256 waves available for each of the two oscillators. Each oscillator also has a sub-oscillator. The filter is a copy of the Moog filter, there are separate envelope generators for the filter and amplifier, and a simple LFO. The panel is very 'retro' and 'traditional' with knobs for every function and a simple display. Internally, the circuitry is all analogue (except for the digital circuitry used in the oscillators)... no wimpy DSP thank you very much - this is a 'real' synth!!
Paula has now released the MonoWave as GPL and has given me permission to release the PCB and a Component Kit for those that unfortunately missed the first, limited run.
The new MonoWave (X) is a rebuild of Paula's popular MonoWave I and is being re-released with her permission. The new design reduces the original multi-pcb design down to 2 pcbs.
In addition, the front panel design incorporates a 2x16 LCD Module (the original MonoWave only had a 1x16 Module) allowing software developers to extend the user-interface.

This is one of those, "Why didn't this ever exist before?" type of apps. SynthPatch is essentially an unlimited, digital book of patch sheets for your synth. Currently it supports patch sheets for the Minimoog, SH-101, and Pro-One, but more are set to come in the future. Note it does not support the transfer of patches to the synths, as they are pre-MIDI. This is for jotting down patch settings like the old days, only super convenient and unlimited! :)
"SynthPatch provides a simple, and compact way of storing patch notations for non-preset synths. We’ve all lost too many paper sheets and photos of settings ourselves, and wanted to create a better way to save favorite sounds.
Currently, SynthPatch supports the Minimoog, SH-101, and Pro One. It includes custom presets, unlimited space for new presets, and will grow to include additional synths, sharing functionality, and more in the future."
