"Moog Geddy Lee Model D Minimoog. Excellent new condition as I received it when I bought it new. Note that any blemishes (considered normal for production) in the red are in the wood. This is me being extremely picky, but I want to mention it. See the pics."
"Full color glossy photos of vintage synthesizers from the Museum of Synthesizer Technology with descriptions
118 pages, nice solid paper stock
In excellent condition with very light shelf wear on the covers
Pages are excellent with no writing, stains, or highlighting
The bottom right corner of the cover has a pressure mark - I tried to show this in the last photo.
Note that the red marks on the page ends in the photo are not stains on the pages but are from the red waveforms printed at the bottom of each page.
This book is rare and out of print, and would make a great addition to any synth collectors bookshelf."
"A new track I put together on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker. I've been goofing around with the Lydian mode more, and finding it really inspiring. This was just a short/simple thing that came out of that. I also found a midi controlled video playback app (SmashCut for iPad) and used a spare channel to send some fun CC to make the background. The video is from the 1920 film "A Trip to the Moon"
"What if your Blipblox could control reality? Speed up, slow down and reverse? Big thanks to Dren for this fun video. How is the Blipblox inspiring your creativity?"

"In the 1970s, composer John Chowning used early computers to experiment with extreme
vibrato effects. Modulating the pitch of a sound with an LFO gives a nice vibrato, but raise
the frequency of the LFO into the audio rate and all of a sudden dense new textures are
created. In this episode we look at how to create harmonics using basic waveshapes
through processes such as Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), and
distortion effects like saturation and wavefolding.
Written, hosted, filmed, and produced by our team of electronic musical instrument experts, this new seven-part educational video series makes learning the fundamentals of synthesis accessible, engaging, and inspiring for anyone curious about science, music, and how the two worlds converge. We set out to create a series that brings you as much technical knowledge as it does entertainment and joy as you watch each episode!
We invite you to follow along with us at home with a printable worksheet corresponding to the contents of each weekly episode. https://inmusic.to/bdhnff3m

"ALT is an analog synthesizer designed for drones, soundscapes, and complex generative melodies.
after 3 years of development, ALT is finally ready.
this video shows the final version of the instrument and goes over the concept, the main features, and what has been added since the prototype version that was shown last year, such as custom scales, a second filter, FM and AM, new MIDI modes and more.
we also show different ways to play ALT with sequencers, and how to use its filters and delay on external instruments.
ALT will be available to pre-order next week, and will be shipped in december.
pre-order information will be sent out in the next newsletter on friday, november 14th.
