"This is an original 1970s Minimoog Model D, serial number 9235. 100% stock (except for the AL&M sticker on the back.) It has NOT been modified or refurbished in any way--no MIDI or any other upgrades. It could probably use a good servicing, though, which is why I'm listing this a price lower than you're likely to find anywhere else."
"Vintage Analog Electronic Music Synthesizer, DYI Homemade Custom One of a kind. I designed and built this myself in the 1970's. I still have the schematics. Still works, but has some minor issues. It's big and heavy so I can not ship it so it will have to be picked up locally."
"Whatdaya mean you forgot you had a Moog? Also, synth snobs need not apply.
Ben Minnotte – Telesound 13 (Moog/Realistic Concertmate MG-1)

"The first new piece of music I've written and released since 2012. As a challenge to myself, I tasked myself with creating a song using nothing but my old Moog/Realistic Concertmate MG-1 synthesizer--which is a REAL challenge given that I'm not a synth geek and my keyboard skills are dodgy at best. It also had to sound like something that could've been made and released around the time the synth was made (circa 1982). As such, effects are used sparingly and are confined to the basics (read: EQ, reverb & compression).
Written as part of my ongoing attempts at creating some new, original incidental music for Oddity Archive.
NOTE: Just in case you couldn't tell, the synth pics shown are NOT representative of the patches used.
"XY is a grid-based sequencer. Place notes with the knobs and keyboard like an Etch A Sketch! The grid has two axis that play synth notes and samples at the same time. Make interesting loops by changing the X and Y directions and step count. Link to another Organelle for expanded jammery."
"For over half a century, Moog has been one of the biggest synthesizer brands on the market. Its talented, innovative engineers have crafted countless modular, semi-modular, and keys-based synths that have become and remained go-tos for synthesists all over the world. With so many models to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out which Moog is right for your music-making needs if you're just starting out, but artist and sound designer Lisa Bella Donna is here to help. Check out the video above to watch her explore six fantastic Moog synths and help you choose what's right for you."
"I got to spend a very few minutes with the Korg NTS-1 at Knobcon 2019 and was very pleasantly surprised how much fun it was. The FX especially are great and the fact you can plug an audio source into it make it almost a no-brainer for the $99 price. This is just a video of my short exploration of this nifty little sound maker."
"So aside from using the same name as our own popular SonicLab review series, sonicLAB make some interesting sound design tools. We took a look at Cosmosƒ Stochastic Synthesizer and the VOLbot.
Cosmosƒ Stochastic Synthesiser is a Stochastic Synthesizer treats the sound as a multi dimensional topological object. Producing all sorts of crazy effects."
