David C Lovelace & His Better Half Wanders Into The Moog Sound Lab

via David Lovelace on Facebook:

"We actually wandered into this room off the street accidentally. The door was supposed to be locked (there's video surveillance, so don't try it, Asheville interlopers!), but my connection with this company charged the building itself to become self-aware and allow my entry into its secret, twinkling synthmeats."

Dave of course is the author of The Packrat (August 2012 strip below), and he created the MATRIXSYNTH Packrat on the right of this site way back in 2006. Thank you Dave! Be sure to check out his site http://www.umop.com/ for tons more including music, tron keytar, and his lovely mother-in-law.
He also did the unforgettable artwork for a number of Metasonix products.




Update via Dave in the comments:

"Aw, thanks! Lee-Ann and I had a great time there with Jason Daniello, Moog's AR Manager. She showed us around the factory (more pics of that coming today) and basically let me be a 12-year-old in a music store, making a lot of noise and wondering how much of this stuff I'll get to own when I grow up. While I was there I drew a Packrat comic for them on a big 18x30 pad, mounted on an easel, with Sharpies. They took a video of the process which should end up on their YouTube channel or maybe just their website, not sure... anyway here's the best shot I was able to get of that drawing... as is apparent I got pretty hammered on mai tais at Trader Vics in Atlanta the night before..."

Emu SP1200 SN 107632 with Original Box

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"For sale is a rare and vintage Emu Sp1200 original grey model 7030 sampling drum machine. This is the nicest Sp1200 you will EVER FIND. MINTY condition, I couldn't find a single blemish and screen is still bright enough and easy to ready in daylight. Comes with one original disc and even includes the original box (matching SN written on it) with original foam cutouts (box is in ok shape, has a lot of tape on the outside of it). The Sp1200 is a classic with awesome 12bit sound that was used on hundreds of your favorite albums back in the day. Really great sound that I'd take over any of the Akai MPC series, even the 60. It's fully functional condition, all features were tested and working without issue, no bad pads or buttons or bad outputs. I will throw in a couple extra discs containing original Emu sampler library sounds and OS 1.2 (not pictured). Also includes power cable (not pictured)."

Mattson Mini Modular/Divison 6 SQ816 Sequencer Demos

SQ816 running mute by MMModsynth
http://www.mattsonminimodular.com/
http://www.division-6.com/

"Quick demo of the MMM/Division 6, SQ816 sequencer.
Highlighting the running mute. The running mute function kills the main gate when the button (or footswitch) is pressed.
The setup is two CV busses running two independent voice chains.
The B bus is fired from either the main gate or, from taps in the 2,3,5,and 7 stage gate outputs.
When the running mute is pressed, only the B voice chain comes through until the foot swith is released. Then, the main gate kicks in and all stages on both voice chains are triggered.

NOT a pro production. Just a quick recording while testing the system."

SQ816 Ping Pong-Random demo
SQ816 Ping Pong-Random demo by MMModsynth
"Programmed 16 channels in a chromatic major scale from C, up two octaves to C# on stage 16.
Set the C#'s in mute (stage 2 and 9) and left the channel 16 C# active.
Have a "Kick" generated on stages 1 and 11 with a "snare generated on 5 and 13.
Started in forward mode than, switched to Ping-Pong mode. I have SOS mode enabled (Start on Stage) which provides a double hit on the endpoint stages.
The strings are a bit loud but. The point was that it was in Ping-Pong mode while in C, running up and down the scale.
When I transpose to C#, I kick in the random mode.
When switching back to C, I kick it back to Ping-Pong mode. The sequencer re-enters Ping-Pong at the point and direction that it left when launched into Random mode.
Definitely not a pro production but, gets the control point across."

Circuit Surfin' (july 2012)

YouTube Published on Jul 27, 2012 by squidfanny

"Quick bit of fun with some current Circuit Bent projects.

The Little Yellow things are lovely Analog Drum Synths, The Grey thing is an HR-16 Digital Drum Machine & the Red thing is an ASR-X Sampler with a glitched-out DSP effect.

Acid line comes from a dusty old TB-303 clone with crackly pots (future project, awaiting some TLC).

Search past vids for more on these various machines."
