Moog Muse | Bitimbrality &
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we explore the bi-timbrality of Muse.
We first look at the bi-timbral nature of Muse and how voices are allocated to each of Muse’s two timbres. We then take a look at the Voice Control module of Muse, and how you can use SPLIT to restrict Timbre A to the left side of the keyboard while Timbre B is restricted to the right side. We also look at how you can change the keyboard split point, swap timbre settings, and explore how you can restrict voice counts per-timbre. Finally, we look at STACK and how timbres can be layered on top of each other for deeper sound design possibilities."
Muse | Spatial Binaural Spread
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we look at some of Muse's spatial and binaural features.
We begin by looking at the Pan Spread control, which by default spreads alternating voices in the left/right stereo field at increasing width. With this we can take a mono synth sound and create something much more enveloping. Next we look at spatial (sometimes called ‘binaural’) modulation with the LFO PHASE SPREAD setting in the VCA more menu. With this setting enabled and an LFO set to per-voice (instead of global) as Pan Spread is increased the LFO will be inverted in the right channel. When used to control a parameter like the volume, this turns a simple tremolo effect into something similar to a rotating Leslie speaker cabinet. Finally, we look at random Pan Spread voice placement."
Bad Gear - WHAT??? I actually have to PLAY IT???
video upload by AudioPilz
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Elektron sequencers are the prime excuse for aging synth hipsters with weird accents to completely neglect any attempt to get good at playing keyboards.
However, today we are going to talk about the 2013 Analog Keys and although it might be the only keyboard instrument from Elektron’s product portfolio history that doesn’t lead to immediate design-induced retina burn, the keys is NOT the problem here.

Oberheim TVS-1 (restored)

via this eBay listing
"This is an extremely early TVS-1 with serial #0017 built on 10-24-1975.
The SEMS have been completely serviced and gone over, recapped and had all pots and switches disassembled and cleaned, and in some cases, the carbon resistive element was changed out for new.
This was originally a 1-voice system that had blanking plates that covered the sequencer and 2nd sem positions. I have installed the 2nd voice as the wiriing was already there for it. I do not have another sequencer to put in it though. I have seen one for sale online and could purchase and install it for an interested party.
The power supply has also been recapped and rebuilt. I have completely stripped and rebuilt the entire pratt read keybed and installed new lubricated bushes. J-wires have all been cleaned up and so the action plays like a brand new synth again."

Moog Minimoog Voyager Aluminum Edition SN 014 w/ Black Central Panel

Compared the top middle panel to others in previous posts here.
"Basically the sickest, sleekest, stone cold coolest Voyager of all time. To say it's rare is an understatement. They only made 100 "Aluminum Edition" Voyagers and less than a handful of those were made with the all black front panel. I've been following these for years and I've only ever seen two including this one.
The all black panel wasn't the original design speck for the Aluminum Voyagers - as you can see from other Aluminum Voyagers on Reverb and from pictures online. I showed it to a friend who worked at Moog for 10+ years as their main repair tech and he'd never seen one, but speculated that it was probably custom built at their factory by an employee who built it custom for themselves.
But whatever the case, it's absolutely stunning and really modernizes the the look of the synth. The Aluminum Edition is cool, but this thing looks like a Ferrari! Easily the coolest piece of kit to come through the studio. Not a scratch on it! Comes with a gooseneck lamp and a Moog rolling rack case (that's immaculate as well)."
