Winter 2024 Fundraising Raffle: One-of-a-Kind $20,000 Eurorack Synthesizer

We are excited to announce our final fundraising raffle of 2024 featuring a one-of-a-kind Eurorack synthesizer comprised of 52 modules from over 30 Eurorack manufacturers located in 10 different countries. The system, curated by modular synthesis educator Chris Meyer, was inspired by Bob Moog's legendary Moog modular synthesizers in mind. It has a retail value of $20,000.

The system features:

3 Analog Oscillators | 2 Digital Oscillators | 8 Filters | 3 Percussion Voices | Spring Reverb | Analog Phase Shifter | Vocoder/Filter Bank | Frequency Shifter | Digital Multi-Effects | Moog-style Analog Sequencers | Wood Encased Keyboard with MIDI Interface and Arpeggiator | Custom Black American Walnut Cabinet with Chromaesthetic Lighting |

All modules and other components were donated by the manufacturer to make this raffle possible.

Tickets for the raffle are $20 each, 6 for $100, 14 for $200, and 40 for $500

The raffle ends on Friday, December 20th, and is open internationally.

Proceeds from the raffle benefit our important work in science education, archive preservation, and the operation of the Moogseum in downtown Asheville, NC. The Moogseum continues to be challenged by the long-term financial effects of Hurricane Helene, making this year-end fundraiser critically important.

"MICROKORG2 USER PROGRAMS VOL.1 & 2 AVAILABLE AT KORG.SHOP

The adventure would not have been complete if after having actively participated in the development of the microKORG2 and more precisely its UI/UX, I had not made my contribution with some sound design.
I have put together 2 packs of 32 presets available since today, exclusively on the KORG website.
This 8 banks highlight the unbeatable versatility of subtractive synthesis, rendered here by the microKORG2.
Here's an improvisation played with "Bank B.Acoustic Feel" from this collection. Raw sounds.

The Art of Merging African Polyrhythms with Futuristic Sound Design | Hydrasynth | Machinedrum


video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the Elektron Machinedrum and Analog Heat +FX, crafting some truly otherworldly rhythms for an upcoming Frequenseers scene.

The focus? Merging African polyrhythms with futuristic sound design. I’m layering ancient rhythmic traditions—syncopation, call-and-response, and cyclical grooves, then pushing them through modern bit-crushing distortion, harmonic saturation, and dynamic filtering.

The result? A sonic journey that bridges the ancient and the modern, weaving the pulse of ancestral drums into an Afrofuturistic soundscape. These rhythms don’t just move the body, they resonate with the soul, telling stories of a timeless connection between rhythm and evolution.

The Frequenseers live in a world where time is fluid, where tradition meets innovation. Through sound, I’m exploring how these hybrid beings communicate—vibrations that are equal parts history and prophecy.

Since the rules called for only 3 boxes, I was unable to add any FX devices. :-(
In any case, it was fun to have an occasion to use these synths again. Even dry they sounded pretty damn good. :-)"
