Minimoog Prototype Exhibit Coming to the Moogseum For One Weekend Only!



via The Bob Moog Foundation

"We are excited to announce the Minimoog Prototype Exhibit at the Moogseum for one weekend only. The exhibit is offered in partnership with the Museum of Music Technology (MMT), which proudly stewards the four prototypes as part of its vast collection of synthesizers and other music technology in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. The temporary exhibit will take place November 14th - November 16th, 2025, marking the 55th anniversary of the first Minimoog being shipped on November 19, 1970.

Members of the MMT staff will be on hand to answer questions about the prototypes. Tickets are $16 per person. The Moogseum is extending its hours to accommodate the interest in the exhibit, and will be open from 10-6 all three days. Advance ticket reservations are strongly encouraged.

The Minimoog began in 1969 as the “Min A”, a five-module unit created by R.A. Moog Co. engineer, Bill Hemsath, to provide easy demonstrations for the larger famed Moog modular systems. Just over a year later, and after three subsequent iterations and the involvement of several engineers, the Minimoog was in production.

Come learn about the fascinating progression of this iconic analog synth, talk to the people who understand the deep history, and see the four ultra-rare prototypes in person!

Reserve your tickets here."



Also there's one week left to go on the Bob Moog Foundation Fundraising Raffle For Vintage Minimoog Signed by Todd Rundgren [link to video].

"One Week Left to Enter The Raffle for Minimoog Signed by Todd Rundgren!

We are in the home stretch of our fundraising raffle for a fully restored vintage Minimoog, serial number 4605, signed by the legendary singer, songwriter, and producer Todd Rundgren. This stunning synth is in excellent technical and cosmetic condition, and is ready to be yours.

Read more and enter to win the Minimoog, valued at $6,500, here."

A Hybrid Eurorack Performance System with ALX-106 from WMD // Machina Bristronica DivKid Discussions


video upload by DivKid

"Here Alex from WMD ‘ALX-106’ joins me on the DivKid Discussions stage at Machina Bristronica, back in 2023 this one, to chat WMD Clutch (their hi hat module) and to demonstrate the WMD Metron’s ability to sequence and perform alongside other WMD (and non WMD) modules in Alex’s hybrid Eurorack performance rig. The combo of laptop, controller & Eurorack is a house music performance machine! Impressive."

Discover the POWER of Feedback with Isobar's Umbra


video upload by Metamyther

"Discover Umbra, the cutting-edge stereo feedback accumulator designed for adventurous sound designers, new from Isobar. With its unique approach to feedback through a send and return effect loop, Umbra opens up massive sonic possibilities, delivering everything from subtle textures to chaotic walls of sound."

00:00 - Intro
01:20 - Vhikk X Example
04:46 - Drum Example
06:49 - Saturation
07:35 - Multigrain
08:17 - Cursus Melody



"Umbra is a dual channel feedback processor with three discrete transistor core VCA pairs. Route any eurorack-level effects, compressors or filters through its send/return paths to create feedback loops ranging from subtle textured echoes to howling walls of sound. The input level VCA is positioned before the feedback circuit, allowing time based sounds to fade naturally when the VCA is closed. A soft clipping stage after all feedback keeps levels controlled while adding nonlinearities and character. The left-right channel normalling allows for both mono-to-stereo or true stereo operation.

Features:
- Discrete transistor core VCAs for input gain (L and R), VCA pair for return gain, and VCA pair for feedback amount.
- Switchable between stereo operation and serial mono operation, where the output of the left channel enters the input on the right channel, doubling up on feedback and processing, indicated by the color of the LEDs. Orange L and R channels = Stereo operation, Orange L channel, Blue R channel = Serial operation
- Asymmetric diode soft clipping distortion at output.
Level LEDs for input level and return level, to keep feedback, drive and gain under control.

Uses:
- Adding a filter, filter bank, delay, reverb, waveshaper, or any other effect into the feedback loop.
- Heavy soft clipping distortion.
- No input feedback mixing.
- 3 stage VCA with distortion"
