Moog Model D and Subsequent 37 HUGE SOUND!!!

Published on Aug 24, 2018 synthartist69

"Can you guess what keyboard is standing against the wall not being used??? Now, about the Moogs. The debate goes on and on. Which is better, the Moog Model D or Subsequent 37? This is not a comparison but a video of both of them together. Personally, I will take simplicity and better sound over more options so the Model D is best for me. The Subsequent 37 has patch memory which I love having and it sounds great, just not as great as the Model D. In person, there is a BIG difference. On Youtube comparisons the difference is not as vast. They are kind of like an Oberheim OBXA vs an OB8. The OBXA is more alive, in your face with a little more grit. The OB8 sounds tame, a little compressed if that is the right word. Playing the Sub37 makes me feel good but the Model D makes me feel GREAT! And of course, the Model D has 44 keys which is helpful for my style of playing vs 37 keys. Both are awesome synths!"

Not to mention three oscillators on the Minimoog vs. two on the Subsequent 37.

Fun with the Crumar DS2 Analog synthesizer, moving pad LFO Filter melody

Published on Aug 24, 2018 Expanding Sound

"The Crumar DS2 is a one of a kind instrument. I'm not sure they even made 1000 of these. My serial number is 200. Anyway, It's weird and I love it. I was having fun with this Pad that had a moving filter LFO, and figured I would share my noodling."

"My first shot at writing and arranging a complete track using just the modular, a sequencer and a mixer. This is recorded live with all audio from the modular recorded straight off the desk. Enjoy!

"Here's my first attempt at live sequencing with the ZOOM ARQ and the Peak. I'm quite impressed with the ARQ, it can do a lot of useful things. Maybe I'll post a review next week."

Looking for a Fix

Published on Aug 21, 2018 Audio Illustrator

"Audio Illustrator James Newman and the James Newman Groove orchestra are pleased to present "Looking for a Fix"

This is a musical portrait of the concept that nothing really works right. and ultimately everything is broken and needs to be fixed.

Everything around us is in a state of decay and on a course of destruction and ruin. The day that we are born is the day that we begin to age and eventually decay, decline, and die. All that we grasp and hold on to also slips away in decay. Nothing is immune, but everything is looking for a fix.

Romans 8:20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Tentacles Lab 0013 Wela's Dreams (Film Version) Synthstrom Deluge

Published on Aug 23, 2018 Tentacles

"Last winter in a rainy night, our friend José Wela filmed this images that inspired us to make this new theme.
Lab0013 is made entirely with the Synthstrom Deluge. All the synths, samples, and FX are from the Deluge itself.

Mastered with Logic 9.
Filmed with a GoPro.

This is our musical laboratory, a place to cook new compositions, where we experiment with our music toys. Some of them will end in our albums, some not. Time will tell...

Rare PPG 1002 Up for Sale

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

The last post featuring one for sale was back in 2008.

"PPG 1002 extremely rare vintage analog synth + cv / gate + audio in (serviced)

Up for sale is an (1) extremely rare PPG 1002 synthesizer, build around 1976. Approx. 20-25 units are been made and probably not more than 10 are still alive, so it's a unique chance to buy one. The first owner was PPG employee Lutz Vogelsang, we can prove that. He sold it to a friend and we are the third owner. Lutz installed a useful external audio input mod with a low/high gain switch on the front panel. You can overdrive the filter beautifully now and when you connect the 'output II' into the ext. audio input you can create an additional resonance to the sound.

We serviced the synth and installed a v-trig / osc / filter input to control it with another device like a sequencer. The sawtooth oscillators, snappy filter and weird modulation possibilities makes this a monstersynth. It sounds amazing!!

Cosmetically the synth is in near mint condition with only some minor signs of use. Please check all the detail photos for a good overall impression.

The service report is part of the sale. It is a 220v version with European plug installed. There is no serial number on the synth."
