Bob Moog Foundation Raffle for Minimoog Signed by Stevie Wonder, Moogseum Update & Summercamp
via The Bob Moog Foundation
"Every year we endeavor to bring you a truly exceptional Minimoog as part of our annual raffle. This year we are honored to offer a gorgeous vintage Minimoog in excellent physical and technical condition, played by the phenomenal Stevie Wonder and signed with his fingerprints, which are affixed to the synthesizer in a brass and plexiglass archival enclosure!
You can read more about the Minimoog, and purchase tickets here: http://bit.ly/2019MinimoogRaffle
Tickets are $25, 5/$100 or 12 for $200. All proceeds go to benefit Dr. Bob's SoundSchool and the Moogseum (opening in a mere two months).
This is the first time that Stevie has signed a Minimoog, making this a one-of-a-kind offering! Please join him in supporting the Bob Moog Foundation's important work. Purchase your tickets today and help us spread the word so we can make this the most successful raffle to date!"
On the Moogseum
"Wonder what we've been up to lately? In addition to teaching almost 3,000 students about the science of sound through Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, we've also been working hard to bring the Moogseum to life. We'll have more details soon, but we are still aiming for an opening at the end of May.
The Moogseum will feature two interactive timelines, an immersive video dome, lessons on synthesis for the novice to advanced learner, a re-creation of Bob's workbench, and much more.
As we close in on our goals for this one-of-a-kind facility, we need your help to bring it to fruition. Please consider making a donation to support this effort to bring Bob's legacy to life. Donate here.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our work!"
And Announcing Our 2019 Summer Camps:
"Back by popular demand, we are once again offering our experiential, fun Science of Sound and Science of Synthesis Summer Camps for kids ages 7-13 in the Asheville area.

Rare RYK M185 analogue sequencer

via this auction
"This has seen very little use, it is a module from the limited 2009 manufacture run of 20 units.
There is a bit of rack rash but screw would cover it.
Serial number is 185008.
It has the latest, updated V3.1 firmware, which allows for a new split sequence
mode.
This is the original sequencer that some other Eurorack clone is based upon.
It's layout and design are very similar to the original 182 sequencer, but with much
more added features.
- The knobs control the CV/pitch.
- The big switches control step length in clock pulses, and
- The smaller switches select different gate modes [mute, single, repeated, legato].
Extra functions are accessed by holding the reset button for a few seconds:
- Programmable per-step portamento
- New split sequence mode where the sequence can be split in two with different loop lengths for each section.
Module is tested and working properly.
Here is a video of a similar module" [posted here]

Roland RS-505 Paraphonic String Synth SN 871618

"Roland RS-505 Analog string synth in truly outstanding condition.
Regarded by many as the best string synth ever made.
This unit is in fabulous original condition and is very hard to fault. The wooden veneer is in excellent condition and the front panel, knobs and keys are in superb condition.
The rear jacks are still clean and shiny which is a good indication that this unit has always been stored in its case and away from the elements.
This is also an indication that the internals have not been compromised over the years by any corrosion.
It sounds absolutely amazing, very dark and moody."

Powertran Transcendent DPX

"Up for sale is my Powertran Transcendent DPX polysynth. Originally sold in kit form in 1979 for the princely sum of £375 plus VAT (so about £1500 today then, if you take a bit of Ted Heath style inflation into account). I bought mine around 20 yrs ago and it worked perfectly and sounded fantastic, especially through a bit of outboard, although it did occasionally get a bit temperamental when you played the lowest octave. The electric piano, which you can play in unison with honkytonk, and the strings were quite special and it made for some decent Ray Manzarek emulation, if you're into that sort of things. Since then, it's been sitting on a stand in my home studio not being played and the time has come to let somebody else enjoy this piece of synth history.
Unfortunately, upon testing it ahead of listing, it appears to have developed an issue which may or may not be an easy fix and I don't have the time to delve into this further, hence it is sold as parts or not working with no returns offered. On the piano side of things, some of the keys don't produce a sound and one or two occasionally play a cacophony of noises, which I assume is the brass/strings kicking in. When you switch to the voice section, you get a lot of sounds playing at once without being triggered. The volume control also appears to have stopped working, although I probably only every changed the volume with my desk so it may never have worked. It did get marginally less awful after I had left it powered on for a couple of hours.
On a more positive note, these are as rare as hen's teeth if being unique and distinctive is your thing, it's in very nice cosmetic condition with only minor marks to the solid teak end cheeks and all the keys are clean and white with no chips. I've opened the lid so you can see the condition of the internal circuitry. I can't see any rust or signs of anything horrible going on in there, but be your own judge. As you probably know, this was sold as a DIY kit and as such the circuits are (allegedly, I haven't tried) easily accessible and easy to work on. Google doesn't offer up much on this, but I found a full set of articles online that talk through building one, show schematics and an overview of what it does (see below). There is also a parts list so, should you need to replace any electronic components that may have given up the ghost in the past 40 years, you can check whether they are likely to be available and how easy they are to swap out prior to bidding. My assumption is that the original DIY-er had more in the way of ambition than talent." Magazine scans via the Wayback Machine.
