MCU BASED PROGRAMMER UPGRADE

In July 2025 a new MCU-based programmer pcb was installed giving it functionality and patch storage not available in the original. More details below and available here

64 programs in 8 banks of 8
Programs are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. No battery needed.
After a program is loaded, only controls that have moved are "live", so patch editing is now possible.
Manual mode forces all controls to be "live".
Optional (non-volatile setting) periodic flash of current bank selection
Optional (non-volatile setting) quantization of coarse freq for oscillator 1 to octaves
Comes with 24 pre-programmed patches, which can be over-written later if you chose
Smaller pcb mounts on four of the existing standoffs, providing better access to pcb underneath
Implemented connectors are the same as original programmer for easy installation
All IC's are socketed. All components are through-hole.
20-turn trimpot for easier one-time oscillator tuning adjustment
SYNHOUSE MIDIJACK UPGRADE

In 2009 a Synhouse Midijack was installed - More detail below and here

MIDI channel selection (to select MIDI reception channel 1-16)
MIDI panic button (to silence stuck MIDI notes)
MIDI Off mode (useful for keeping unused synthesizers silent onstage or for selecting built-in / local analog keyboard control and external control via control voltage gate interface jacks, also known as CV/gate control)
MIDI On mode (normal operation)
4-note buffer (for musical trill effects and for relaxed performance with automatic error correction)
Single note triggering (for legato performance)
Multiple note triggering (for articulated performance)
MIDI transpose select mode (for deeper bass)
Analog CV calibration mode
Receives MIDI Note On messages (full range, MIDI notes 0-127)

"The Korg Trident is a polyphonic multi-section synthesizer released by Korg in 1980, combining three distinct synthesizers within a single instrument: a polyphonic section with two VCOs, alongside dedicated String and Brass sections.[1] The polyphonic synthesizer section allows for eight-note polyphony with dual oscillators. The String section offers an ensemble effect and simple attack/release envelope controls, whereas the Brass section features an independent filter and a dedicated ADSR envelope. These sections can be assigned to two different regions of the keyboard independently, and the Trident also offers a flanger effect along with a joystick for pitch bending and modulation."

"Vintage Moog MultiMoog, serial number 1109, likely built in 1978 during the first year of production. This is a powerful and expressive monophonic analog synth made in the USA (Williamsville, NY) — and one of Moog’s rarest and most performance-oriented models from the late '70s."

Abandoned Factory Find - Does This High-End Mic Still Work?

video upload by HAINBACH

"This summer, ‪@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER‬ went to Italy and were kindly allowed to explore the old Bontempi Musical Instrument Factory in Potenca Picena. A massive building and once an important part of the industrial infrastructure of the area, it has been decaying for two decades now and is home to swarms of pigeons. Most of the inventory is sold off, but we still found exiting remnants of the glory days in the rubble. Check out Sam’s video for a full tour, and stay tuned to what I found, as well as bit of history later."
