video by Moon Armada

"The Photon Blaster: a rhythmic-noise generator that is played by shining strobing LED's into and away from a pair of light-sensors.

Each LED has controls for the speed and shape of the strobe. The LED's and sensors can be moved around to control the response.There is also a pair of CV inputs for controlling the LED's externally.

There are also additional controls for changing timbral and rhythmic aspects of the sounds.

The entire enclosure and and controls (including buttons and knobs) are constructed from Lego bricks.

For more information, photos and tickets, visit https://bit.ly/MinimoogRaffle2021

The raffle is open internationally from March 1, 2021 until 11:59pm ET on March 29, 2021, or until all 4,500 tickets sell out, whichever comes first.

Funds raised from the raffle will be used to expand the Foundation’s hallmark educational project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, currently inspiring over 3,000 elementary school students per year through the science of sound. The raffle will also help support the Moogseum, an immersive, experiential facility located in Asheville, NC, which brings Bob Moog’s legacy and the science of sound and synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum was closed for five months in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The vintage Minimoog Model D being offered, serial number 8903, was built at Moog Music's Buffalo, NY-era factory during the late 1970s, has an estimated value of $6,500, and will only go up in value given the highly coveted nature of the synthesizer. This Minimoog has been carefully restored and future-proofed by the renowned synthesizer technician Wes Taggart of Analogics, and is in excellent technical condition. Taggart, also a lauded woodworker, fabricated the custom cabinet from rare African Makore wood, which is known for its beauty, strength, and durability.

video by Most Wanted: Music

"Most Wanted: Music - The Hybrid Music Conference - enables practical know-how transfer, enhanced networking, idea exchange and delivers new perspectives and business models for the music industry. https://mwm-berlin.de/​

Session: Music Instrument Design for the Powers of Ten
Speaker: Tatsuya Takahashi
Video presentation: Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

We are delighted to welcome Tatsuya Takahashi of KORG. Here’s what he had to say about the session- "Making a living from designing musical instruments is a funny business. On one hand they are commercial products. On the other, they are forms of expression. I'll be navigating my experience of grappling with this duality through how many times each project is manufactured - in powers of ten. From the big hit volcas to the personal projects that are painfully close to my soul, each project has a different story to tell, but there's also a continuum that runs through them all."

"Introducing the Godwin Drummaker 45 Computer System.
A stand-alone auto-accompaniment machine with four instrument groups:
A drum machine, a bass section, a chord section and arpeggiator.
The Vermona DEG 500 is in use in the break for wobble effect, otherwise it's the Space Echo spring reverb and Chorus in action.

We've previously made a video demo-ing all the functions of the Drummaker 45, you'll find it" [posted here]. Also see this demo by M. Schmied.
