NYC Composer Michael Whalen on the Minimoog Model D Signed by Herb Deutsch

video upload by moogfoundation

"'... It's a piece of art ... a piece of history.' - Michael Whalen

Recording artist, synthesist, composer, and producer Michael Whalen on why the Minimoog is so iconic, and why this one, in particular, is priceless.

Enter to win this stunning vintage Minimoog Model D in a custom walnut cabinet, signed by synthesizer pioneer Herb Deutsch https://bit.ly/DeutschMinimoogRaffle

The Minimoog featured is serial number 11,535, built at Moog Music’s Cheektowaga, NY factory during the late 1970s. It has an estimated value of $10,000. Due to the highly-coveted nature of this archetypal synthesizer, and the iconic signature from Herb Deutsch, it is likely to increase in value. This Minimoog has been meticulously restored by revered synthesizer technician Wes Taggart of Analogics, who also crafted its new custom walnut cabinet enclosure. It is in excellent technical and physical condition.

The raffle begins on February 9th, to commemorate Deutsch’s 90th birthday, and serves as an homage to his seminal contributions to the Moog legacy. It ends on March 7, 2022, at 11:59pm ET, or when all 4,500 tickets sell out, whichever comes first. Tickets are $20 each, six for $100, 14 for $200, or 40 for $500

Funds raised from the raffle will be used to expand the Foundation’s hallmark educational project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which has inspired over 20,000 elementary school students 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 pioneering legacy and the science of sound and synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum, which opened in late May of 2019, has welcomed over 14,000 visitors from all over the world, despite significant challenges due to the pandemic.

Our last raffle sold out so be sure to purchase your tickets early."

Hmmm...it's awesome 😍🤘

It's a really good granular fx with a lot of modulations and 2 fx sections. An incredible tool for sound design.

Good job Arturia 😉👍"

The Rare 360 Systems Digital Keyboard (Overview & Demo)

video upload by Syntaur

"Nick Zehr Moon shows off the super rare 360 Systems Digital Keyboard, just refurbished at Syntaur. Introduced in 1982, only about 200 of these were manufactured. The Digital Keyboard is a somewhat like a 'digital Mellotron', but instead of tapes, it uses EPROMs - groundbreaking technology at the time - to store 8-bit samples for playback. It also features a CEM-based analog filter."

NEW! AJH Synth DUAL RVG Random Voltage Event Generator

An Introduction to this Eurorack Generative CV Source video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This is the all-new, Limited Edition DUAL RVG module for Eurorack modular. It is based on the original EMS Random Voltage Generator, providing the functions of the original, but adding substantially more. It uses the same uni-junction transistor ramp & hold circuitry of the original, incredibly rare vintage unit. It produces 2 separate random voltages, that can be triggered by it's internal clock or external gate signals. However, unlike a a common Sample & Hold, it also has random variation of it's internal clock, the amount of which can be added/adjusted manually, or controlled by CV. Additionally, it has a gate output that can be used to trigger other modules in time with it's internal LFO, and also has Triangle and Sawtooth outputs, which are also affected by the internal LFO, although these can also be used as a voltage-controlled LFO, as the module's internal clock speed can also be controlled by CV.

This super-flexible Eurorack recreation is both authentic to the technology, character and behaviour of the original, whilst offering a serious amount of random goodness for experimental, generative music, whilst also having provision for more controlled duties, from regular twin Sample & Hold duties, to voltage controlled frequency modulation.

The Dual Random Voltage Event Generator (Dual RVG) is a faithful replica of the vintage EMS Random Voltage Generator. It is an all analogue design which generates two separate random voltages that can be timed either from the internal LFO or from an external clock. However, one of the most interesting features is that varying amounts of randomisation can be added to the internal clock rate with the Time Vary control - so with this we can randomise time period in addition to voltage.

The TR-IN input allows an external clock to be used instead of the internal LFO. When the LFO is stopped two new random voltages can be generated with each press of the manual Trigger button.

We have added many useful features that were not present on the original design, including Level and Offset controls for both outputs, adjustable Slew on Output 1, control of internal LFO run / stop from an external Gate signal, control of LFO rate using an external CV, and the LFO output is brought out to the front panel as both a Sawtooth and Triangle wave and both of these waveforms are skewed as Time Vary is added to the LFO rate. We have also added a gate output that produces a gate for each internal clock pulse, and this gate length changes in proportion with the time variance. The duty cycle of the gate can also be varied from 1% to 99%.

Module Width: 14hp

Module Depth: 26mm (Including power lead)

Current Usage: 95mA Positive, 70mA Negative

Provisional Information
We have taken the original EMS RVG design and re-created it in Eurorack format, and added many extra features that make it a considerably more useful in a modern day modular system, but of course it can also be used with other synths too and with a suitable conversion cable it can be used with the original EMS VCS3 and Synthi A or Synthi AKS.

Limited Edition
The Dual RVG will be available with either a Black (Dark Edition) or Silver front panel. Just like the original EMS RVG the circuitry uses vintage unijunction transistors for both the ramp and hold and LFO circuits, these are quite rare and we have only obtained enough UJT's to build a limited number of modules, Therefore the Dual RVG module is being released as a once only, strictly Limited Edition of 250 units worldwide.

Expected delivery in first quarter 2022, and it can be pre-ordered from many AJHSynth retailers.

"Just let it warm up and it will stay in tune.

Everything works as it should, keys, knobs, switches are all working fine.
The only switch needs to be pressed slightly harder is the memory push button #7 but hey it works just fine.

Works on 240v."
