Against The Clock - Tukico (Hoshiko Yamane)
Published on Mar 27, 2019 FACTmagazine
"Japanese violinist and composer Hoshiko Yamane met legendary German synth masters Tangerine Dream in 2011 and has performed and toured with them ever since. In 2013, however, she launched her own experimental side-project, Tukico.
For this week's Against The Clock, Yamane gave us an exclusive look at this project's live iteration, delivering a hypnotic improvisation in just 10 minutes using a loop pedal, a Moog synthesiser and her five-string electric Viola.

WhatTheRack - WhatTheMod module (VCV RACK Patch Excerpt)
Published on Mar 27, 2019 VCV Rack Ideas
"Here is the part of my challenge that WhatTheMod module gave me. This thing takes random module from selected category and gives you already randomized module! So it's good chance to start exploring something more in VCV Rack - new modules, new techniques and etc. You should try it!. Download links:

Oberheim OB-8 Tutorial
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Mar 26, 2019 Resurrection Studios
Overview starts at 4:17. Samples of songs featuring the OB-8 until then. Van Halen's Jump after the overview was an OB-Xa, Rush's Tom Sawyer wasn't an OB-8, so take the examples with a grain of salt.
"This is our Oberheim OB-8 analog synthesizer. I made 3 parts in this video. The first shows pictures of the features and plays music recorded with this actual synthesizer. The second is a live video explaining how an analog synth works, and we do all the tests and play the keyboard. The last part is pictures of the accessories, and music recorded by National Artists with an OB-8."
via this auction, also on Reverb.
"We have owned this OB-8 for over 20 years. It has been kept in our smoke-free studio and is in mint condition! This unit was built in February of 1983. The factory MIDI was in the rear of the synthesizer. The side panel MIDI inputs (as on some others) were the retrofits. I included the page of the user manual which explains this (see pics). We recently sent the synthesizer to Jeff from The Analog Lab, who is the most famous and trusted synth tech in the country. We replaced all of the key contacts, so that the keys and action feel new, and Jeff went through the entire synthesizer and made sure that every single function and control worked, and were tuned to factory calibration settings. We have the receipts for this also. After finishing testing everything, Jeff told me that this is the nicest and warmest Oberheim synthesizer he has ever played, and he has played them all!
This OB-8 has been extremely well cared for. It includes a full flight case / road case, a CD with the factory sounds (brain) and custom user banks all included on the CD (all operating instructions are detailed in the User Manual), both the User Manual and the Service Manual are included, along with a mini cable and adapter to run from the headphone jack of a CD player or laptop, into the interface on the synthesizer for loading and backup storage of program memories. We included pictures of everything, including the inside of the unit so you can see how clean it is :)
There are very few mint condition analog powerhouses like this left. This OB-8 is the grand-daddy of them all. This is NOT something you'll see sitting on boxes in some damp basement needing repair (like other ads I've seen in the past, and it is not on the other side of the world - if you're in North America). To prove what we say is true, I am including a link to a Youtube video where we demo and play this exact synthesizer for you, so you can see that it is everything that we say it is!"

Oberheim OB-Xa 1980 w/ Road Case
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
This one is in need of restoration. Some pics of the inside below. Description follows:
"Early 1980 Oberheim OB-Xa accompanied by an Anvil road case. I am selling this synth as a project because it currently is not %100 up to par. It powers on fine & every knob/button functions as it should with its corresponding LED however there is a loud hum coming from somewhere unknown to me. When keys are pressed I can make out what the synth wants to do but the overall hum is too loud. However, all voice card leds are working when triggered by the keys."

Crumar Spirit Bob Moog Designed MonoSynth RARE 50-100 Made SN 00102
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Super Rare Bob Moog Designed Crumar Spirit Monosynth. Unique sounds, unique routings, excellent condition (minor marks, nothing major). The written specs don’t do the sonics of this one justice..
The Spirit synthesizer from Crumar was an analog synthesizer designed by Bob Moog, Jill Scott, and, Tom Rhea. It features 2 oscillators with basic sawtooth, triangle and square waves that can be synced together. The filter was highly regarded as well. the filter has low, high, and band-pass modes and is switchable between 12dB and 24dB slopes. Another plus is an independent envelope with key tracking. Other features are an external input, ring Modulator, and an arpeggiator with 3 patterns that could be synced with the LFO section."

Novation Bass Station Analog Synthesizer Keyboard SN 0000916 w/ Original Box
YAMAHA CS-30 SN 2041
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The CS-30 is a large, knob infested, black analog synthesizer with traditional features. It is a monophonic synth with extensive analog control and shaping. It has two oscillators with separate outputs, two voltage-controlled resonant filters, two voltage-controlled amplifiers and three envelopes. It also features a ring modulator, external audio triggering and a simple but useful 8-step sequencer for use as a sketch pad, pattern or arpeggio effect. The CS-30 does not have any on-board effects, memory nor MIDI. Although the CS-30 is just a monophonic synth with a short 44 note keyboard it offers a lot of programming flexibility, and plenty of knobs."
