"The last I heard, the eight was discontinued but the 16 is still an available product for the foreseeable future. Of course that could've changed in the last month 🤷🏻♂️"
If you are set on a Moog One, check with dealers on the right for availability.

Today was hot. Funny how 92 doesn’t feel too bad after 100.

"(testo italiano in basso) Here's some tweaking on the GRP A2, an Italian high-end analog synth module with a great sound. VCO1 can produce the usual waves, plus 'sharktooth' (a triangle/saw hybrid), and a saw/square hybrid with PWM; VCO2 has an all-analog version of the 'supersaw' concept, that can also be applied to triangle and 'sharktooth' waves. The filter is a two-pole multimode with lowpass, bandpass, highpass and notch - plus a lowpass/highpass in parallel stereo. The A2 offers flexible modulation routings via a series of selector knobs, without the use of patch cords. The signal path is totally analog, including the LFOs, envelopes and S&H. I couldn't resist adding a *very* slight bit of ambient effect. No other processing was used. Many thanks to Paolo Groppioni, the A2 designer, for entrusting me with the instrument to review.
Un po' di azione sul GRP A2, un modulo di sintetizzatore analogico italiano di alto livello. Il VCO1 può produrre le forme d'onda usuali, più la 'sharktooth' (un ibrido fra triangolare e dente di sega), e una combinazione di dente di sega e quadra che può essere modulata in simmetria; il VCO2 ha una versione tutta analogica del concetto della 'supersaw', che può essere applicato anche alla triangolare e alla 'sharktooth'. Il filtro è un multimodo a due poli con passa-basso, passa-banda, passa-alto e respingi-banda; è presente anche un passa-basso + passa-alto in parallelo, con separazione stereo. Il percorso del segnale è interamente analogico, inclusi gli inviluppi, gli LFO e il Sample & Hold. Non ho resistito ad aggiungere una *piccolissima* dose di effetto ambientale; nessun'altra modifica è stata applicata. Un grande ringraziamento a Paolo Groppioni, il progettista dell'A2, per avermi affidato lo strumento. SOTTOTITOLI DEL VIDEO IN ITALIANO DISPONIBILI.

"Don’t have a Buchla 200 and Digital Keyboards Synergy to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁
Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness. Why not put it on loop - then you can have it bubbling away in the background while you do other things. Or maybe check out the playlist I have made with all the Background Modular Series videos: [playlist below]
A note on the patch: The Buchla (cloned) MARF is sending note and velocity (ie CV) data to the Synergy via a Kenton CV to MIDI converter - a very handy unit if you have a lot of analogue sequencers!
The Synergy is extremely flexible and you can set virtually any parameter to respond to velocity - and using the Kenton you can send any CV to modify the velocity over MIDI - something I am exploring at the moment
The Buchla 200 chimes really well with the Synergy. Don spent most of the late 70s and 80s exploring digital synthesis - starting out with hybrid systems (the 500 and 300 Series) and later fully digital systems (the Touche, 400 and 700 Series). The Synergy was developed at exactly the same time taking fully digital ideas to their logical extreme. It is a very capable system and the pairing with the 200 Series is sublime"
"#5 of my monthly challenge 😁 I know I'm late 🙄.. one more time, because the outro tooks me a lot of time, but I think it was worth it !
This time I decided to create a more complex setup, including 3 Volcas 🎹 What do you think about my transitions with the Volca Sample ? I wanted to try something new ..
The setup: Novation Circuit Tracks: Drums, arpeggio, pad Volca Keys: Lead melody Volca Bass: Bass Korg NTS-1: ping-pong delay, reverb, chorus, build up with the noise oscillator"
"The Dirtywave M8 tracker is a nearly flawless device, but that doesn't mean the user experience couldn't be improved. Electronics create noise, MIDI adapters use multiple dongle types, and controlling the M8 Tracker could be a bit more performative. In this video, I will share solutions to these problems."
