"Another thing that makes this Rogue great is that somebody has already removed the dreaded "black foam" gasketing from under the keybed. Why? Moog Rogues have a common problem: The foam rubber used to dampen the keys tends to rot and melt all over the electronics. It must be removed before this happens otherwise it can cause electrical damage. It's always something to watch out for when buying a Rogue. Fortunately for you, it was removed by a previous owner of this synth. That means this Rogue will continue to go go go!
Another sweet trick with this keyboard is to use the "audio in" to bypass the keyboard and run another instrument through the Moog filter. Not many keyboards can do this. Great for guitar, bass, horns, etc!"

Unlike traditional instruments with strings and keys, the Theresynth™ has no boundaries - you play it in the air using light as your sound source. You'll get unlimited tones and octaves by combining the "speed" & "range" controls. The momentary trigger/on-off switch allows you to play individual notes. Then turn on one of the Magic LED Wand's 7 strobe settings for some intense oscillations, creating outerworldly sounds & new dimensions. It's perfect for dramatic, live performances, recordings or just jamming on-the-go (via the built in speaker). They're available in 5 colors (purple, red, orange, yellow and white) with your choice of white or black graphics. See more and get yours only at: chamberofsounds.com" or Ebay
via Michael on the Waldorf list: "Hello Chaps, We just released this template for the Wave... Why? Of course the Wave is so easy to program from its control panel... but... if you are in a DAW workflow where you'd like to automate all Wave parameters from C4 this might be of an interest to you. Please note that you need a special version of the Wave OS that disables MIDI sysex check-sum; please contact Werner S. via the unofficial Wave website.
You have Wave C4 template screenshots plus audio demo here
Cheers, Michael"
Note they have templates for other synths as well.

Halfway I use the Xphorm function to morph from one sound to another sound. The melodies are played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and the Roland XP-80."

I wanted to make the board self supporting, so i messed about making it into a euro module. Its not glamorous, or particularly well thought out, but i think itll work (its populated now, but i dont have all the ics at present)

Following in the footsteps of the Tank's celebrated Bent and Blip Festivals, In/Out seeks to bring computer generated music and visuals into the limelight with a special day of workshops and performances in hopes of welcoming a new audience as well as satisfying veterans of the scene.
With performances from key members of the computer music community such as Brian Crabtree (creator of the legendary 40h matrix controller), Peter Kirn (editor of www.createdigitalmusic.com), Jay Smith (founder of Livid Instruments), as well as representatives from NYU and the monome communities, In/Out Fest is set to be the computer music event of the year in New York City.
Attendees are not only invited to indulge in an evening of music spanning from abstract glitch compositions to the Earth-shattering dance tunes of Making the Noise at the ludicrously low price of $10, but to engage performers and instructors in discussions concerning the emerging discipline as well.

YouTube via CremeDeMentia. Also see this post. via GetLoFi "In this video, Alex shows us how to add a GetLofi.com LTC Module to a Gameboy. The LTC Module oscillates within a specific frequency range. When you take its output and patch it into a Gameboy, the Gameboy now reads this variable oscillation instead of its own internal crystal's oscillation, giving you control over the Gameboy's pitch and computation speed. The Pro-Sound Mod is patching the audio signal from the Gameboy's volume knob directly to its output, resulting in a louder signal with more bass."

"/// About the Blip Festival Trash-bin symphonies and ray-chasing pixel pushers herald the explosive return of Blip Festival New York City, 2009. The three-day music and arts festival returns to Brooklyn's Bell House December 17th, 18th, and 19th and is presented by Manhattan arts organization The Tank, in partnership with NYC artist collective 8bitpeoples.
Entering its fourth year of celebrating the best and brightest from the realm of chipmusic and its related disciplines, the festival showcases the use of the former heavyweights of computing such as the Commodore 64 and Amiga, the Atari ST and 2600, and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy to create arresting music and visual art.
The festival, now one of the worlds largest and longest running events of its kind, continues to evolve with a greater breadth of international artists, a growing sophistication of styles and creative vocabulary, and a forward-thinking enthusiasm driven home by over two dozen of the worlds best musicians and visualists.
If there's one thing festival-goers can expect, it's to have their expectations blown away. And the high-energy, low-res live experience is also supplemented by daytime workshops, film screenings, and open mic events -- all in an open, friendly, all-ages atmosphere, accessible to the hardcore fan and the chipmusic neophyte alike.
///Blip Your own Adventure Video Contest! In partnership with Plogue, we are hosting a Fan Video Contest where filmmakers, videographers, ytmnders, animators and interested amateurs are invited to take their own crack at capturing the Blip Festival in a funny, awe-inspiring, insanity inducing viral bliplet! You can read more details and rules at: http://blipfestival.org/2009/blog/11/20/blip-your-own-adventure-fan-video-contest/ http://www.plogue.com/
///And that's not all! We are planning more special events, workshops and screenings. Stay tuned.
YouTube via s0LVentCIty "Solvent Improv #3 - This will be the last video with this Modcan/808/x0x setup.
OK so here is a techno/acid improv. Pretty sloppy and boring in several sections, I know... But I uploaded it because I think there are a few really cool sections in here too. It often sounds very busy, like there's a lot going on, but this is really just an 808, x0xb0x, Mbase Kick, and processing via 2 Modcan modules --- the Frequency Shifter, and the SuperDelay. All of those intricate (or sloppy, depending on the section), rubbery bass sounds are coming from the x0xb0x into the Super Delay module, with it's delay time CV-in being modulated by the Modcan sequencer (clocked via 808 trigger). The result sometimes reminds me of Soul Oddity or some of the early Schemetic 12"s (wonder how many people will recognize that obscure reference!?). Anyway, this Super Delay module was inducing some severe gear lust, so I'm almost relieved that they're discontinued - because I definitely cannot afford one.
Those familiar with my music will know that this is not the kind of music that I release. With a few exceptions, I really don't even like techno, so I don't know why I've been cranking out so much stuff like this lately. So far it's just for fun.., we'll see... But this is definitely *not* the kind of material you can expect from my upcoming album (coming out May 2010 on Ghostly).
"Moog Taurus II bass analog synthesizer pedals, good condition with all pedal/keys funtioning, synthesizer part functions as it should, both oscillators, with adapter and 4 different paper settings sheets, and atlas sound mic stand that you mount on top of the pedals and attach the synth/brain part on top of that."
