Bob Moog Foundation: Adam Holzman Live at Static Age in Asheville NC
video upload by moogfoundation
"On Saturday, June 29, 2024, Holzman will perform a synthesizer and piano concert at Static Age Records.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m. For the performance, Holzman will create all sequences and loops in real-time analog without the assistance of a laptop using a variety of synthesizers. When asked to describe the concert, Holzman stated, “It will be sort of Tangerine Dream meets Keith Jarret.”
Tickets for the performance are $20 per person: bit.ly/AdamHolzmanLive.
Holzman is a masterful keyboard player, educator, author, and cartoonist who has spent his career performing with some of music’s biggest names while releasing numerous highly acclaimed recordings. From 1985-1989, he performed more than 200 concerts worldwide with jazz legend, Miles Davis, serving as Davis’s musical director in 1988. Holzman also toured and/or recorded extensively with Grover Washington Jr., Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, and many others. Holzman has frequently collaborated with British rocker Steven Wilson and is featured on many of Wilson’s acclaimed releases. Since 2012, Holzman has consistently placed high in Classic Rock and Prog magazine’s ‘Best Keyboard Player’ category. In addition to performing, Holzman wrote Creative Synthesizer Technique, which can be purchased at the Moogseum or online, and teaches part-time at The New School University in New York City.
Funds raised from ticket purchases for the concert and workshop will be used to expand the Bob Moog Foundation’s hallmark education project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which has inspired over 30,000 elementary school students through the science of sound. The auction will also help support the Bob Moog Foundation Archives and the Moogseum, an immersive, experiential facility located in Asheville, North Carolina, which brings Bob Moog’s pioneering legacy and the science of sound and synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum opened in 2019 and has since welcomed over nearly 35,000 visitors.

Quantizing with Dàil from Instruo
video upload by NOISEBUG
https://www.noisebug.net
"The Instruō dàil is a high resolution quantiser, precision adder, MIDI-to-CV interface, and USB MIDI Host with a very small form factor suitable for any system.
As a quantiser, scales can be defined locally as well as externally via MIDI. The USB Host port will accept and power class compliant devices offering convenience and immediacy to melodies and sequences.
As a precision adder, existing signals can be offset by any defined chromatic interval. Transpose anything with accuracy using the calibrated buffered throughput which runs parallel to the quantiser engine. This feature alone makes for a great companion to any sequencer or 1V/octave source within a system.
No longer is a single repeating octave of quantised notes a limitation. dàil features a fully bipolar quantiser engine through which any multi-octave spanning scale/chord/arpeggio can be engaged immediately from your MIDI keyboard. Patterns can also be programmed onboard with precision with the ability to auto fill from a wide range of major and minor starting points.
Small form factor, big feature set!
dàil will suit any scale of system adding flexibility and immediacy to your melodic needs.

Elektron SID Station SN F10100780-81

"This VERY RARE Sid Station MOS 6581 Synth by Elektron is a unique synthesizer with a rich history. The device was originally designed as a tribute to the sound chip of the Commodore 64, the MOS 6581 SID. It has since evolved into a powerful stand-alone synthesizer with a distinct sound. Unit is in near-mint cosmetic condition and I’ve pointed out any scratches in the photos. Sounds and works perfectly.
Featuring a variety of functions and controls, this synthesizer is perfect for musicians and producers looking to create authentic vintage C64 sounds. Whether you're using it in a studio or live performance setting, the Sid Station MOS 6581 Synthesis by Elektron is as authentic as it gets.
The sound of SidStation is, of course, very similar to that of the original Commodore 64. The SID chip is well known for being noisy. By design, the oscillators never stop outputting signal—even while not in use. It's this flaw, however, that is part of the character and sound of the SID chip. Tuning stability on this unit’s particular chip is the best I’ve ever heard.
The SidStation is capable of producing all the waveforms of the C64, Triangle, Saw, Pulse, Mix (which is a mix between Saw and Pulse) and variable Noise. Besides this is the synth, a 4-part LFO-modulation system which can be used with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and various combinations of these filters (including a Notchfilter). All of these are controllable by the four knobs on top of the SidStation."

Vox Concrète (AlfaVox System A1905 - Modular/Analog Synthesizer)
video upload by Stephano Gavilanes
"I time-traveled back to the early 60s along with the AlfaVox System A1905 synth on hand. It was an interesting trip, bumped into Brian Wilson who gave me a couple of production tips, and came back with this session. Although the AlfaVox was holding a peace sign ☮️, and wearing flowers around🤔
Now on the serious note, I recorded this track in multiple long takes (no edits), improvising with the patches and knobs, and combining it with my 'secret sauce' sequencer. Most sounds are from the AlfaVox, plus a Theremin with only light reverberation on the master track👌🏽
Headphones or loudspeakers suggested!✨
