Pre-orders open through August 25th!
Join us live on August 21, 2025 at 8 pm EDT as we present the entire ππΊπ―π΅π© ππ¦π¨π¦π―π₯π΄ symposium from April 19, 2005 - Bob Moog’s final public appearance. This historic event, originally organized by Russ Jones of AudioMIDI, brings together synth pioneers Bob Moog, Tom Oberheim, Dave Smith, and Marcus Ryle, with Roger Linn moderating. For the first time ever, the full 1-hour and 38-minute symposium will be broadcast in its entirety.
Note: the original audio recorded at this 2005 event was only captured on the camera mics and is not studio-perfect. We’ve worked to make audio enhancements, including painstaking audio mastering by Harold LaRue (https://haroldlaruemastering.com), to make this once-in-a-lifetime conversation as clear as possible. We suggest turning on closed captioning in order to not miss any of the content.
During the stream, join Tom Oberheim, Denise Smith (Dave Smith’s widow), Marcus Ryle, and Michelle Moog-Koussa (Bob Moog’s daughter and Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation) in the live chat as they share reflections, answer your questions, and provide personal insights into the legacy of Bob Moog and synthesis history.

Roland SH-101 VS My 101-VCF Noise Floor (and What to Do About It)
video upload by gstormelectro
"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025
Today a quick noise floor comparison of the Roland SH-101 versus my 101-VCF under no-input conditions. I've boosted the no-input signal condition by +6dB to emphasize what is happening. And what you can do silence the noise in Eurorack when you don't want it there. I'm hoping that in making this video that it will help discern what is normal behavior to be expected for the modules, and what is not."

Lofi Ambient Electronica w/ Prophet-10, OP-1 field : Barn and meadow 2025-08-21 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with Prophet-10, OP-1 field, and guitar. Ambient electronica where scattered guitar notes emerge within quiet synth textures.
The Prophet-10 plays synth pads with reverb applied through blueSky.
On the OP-1 field, synths are performed with tape effects added via GENERATION LOSS MKII.
The guitar is recorded with an NT-4 microphone and further processed with reverb and other effects in the DAW."

120 Minutes to Make a TUNE (Only Launchkey + Klevgrand Plugins Allowed)
video upload by Novation
"We teamed up with @klevgrand to set ourselves a challenge - can our in-house music producers create a track in 2 hours, using only a MIDI keyboard and a limited set of plugins?
Back in early summer, our very own Vini from Novation and Lucas from Klevgrand met for the first time in Berlin and set themselves the ultimate challenge: producing a track from scratch in only two hours. With just a Launchkey Mini 37, Logic Pro, and the full suite of Klevgrand plugins to hand, how did they get on?
