"This is a vintage Monophonic analog synth with lots of unusual features. This synth has an old school Roland sound which is completly different from later SH series synths. This synth was serviced by Oakleysound a couple of years ago and is in full working order. It also has CV/Gate/VCF freq sockets fitted (by analog solutions) so can by intergrated into a MIDI setup. The synth is built into a flight case and includes the music stand but no manual."

via this auction "This is a circuit bent synth noise machine with lots of knobs and buttons and switches. with a glitched out caisio cheapy keyboard that is prity dang rad. the synth runs on 9v battery the keyboard runs on 6 aa there is a dummy cell in an extra space in the batery pack. the synth has 8 momentary buttons that are ajusted buy the pot above them there is a toggle for each one so you can leave them on to preset your sound four pots and keys are relative to eachouther so to tune from low to high or whatever the outher for are seperate and more for modulation basicaly turn knobs and push buttons untill someone tells you to stop. the keyboard has an added crush switch and pot to controll it 2 body contacts for sizzle noise and 2 body contacts for glitching there is a reset button for when it crashes and a green glitch button that makes it faser and somtimes glitches great random sound generating machine. ther is one 1/4 out for the synth and volume knob also a sustain switch there is 2 1/4 out for the keyboard and 2 volume knobs"

Hope you like it. If I had CNC mill and stuff I'd be happy to make a few of these. Now I have to do everything the slow way. Took forever to even get this far.

The MFW provides short bursts of noise that seem to be somehow tied to the EML's output, which in this case is almost wholly rhythmic. Fun."

The Beastie Boys have been rocking crowds the world over for more than 25 years; they are the undeniable innovators of both hip hop and rock and roll. Known for looking forward and backward, the Beastie Boys were among the first to embrace the phat analog Moog sound in the late 80s and early 90s at a point when the world of synthesis had gone largely digital.
How fitting it was to have the Beastie Boys swing through town and perform a ribbon cutting ceremony on the Foundation's MiniMoogseum installation in the Orange Peel, once again championing the Bob Moog and his legacy of pioneering synthesis.
Dubbed the MiniMoogseum, the eight foot high showcase serves as the first permanent installation of Bob Moog's archives, including one of his Grammy awards and relics from the early development of Moog synthesizers. Michelle Moog-Koussa, who serves as the Executive Director of the Foundation named after her father, explained that Over the decades to come, hundreds of thousands of people will see the installation as they visit the Orange Peel... which was recently voted in the top five in the country by Rolling Stone magazine. The "MiniMoogseum" can be thought of as a small scale version of the future "Moogseum", coming soon to the Asheville area.
Beastie Boys join a growing group of celebrity musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Keith Emerson, and Billy Corgan who have all voiced their support of the Foundation's mission to teach science to children using musical instruments. In the video the band expresses that they are ...proud and happy to be here at the beginning of this beautiful thing.....the Moogseum. They continue by saying There should be a Moog synthesizer in every classroom.
This video marks the first in a new series of videos and blogs that the Foundation is calling "Voices" -- reflections and ideas from the wider Moog community, focused on how Bob Moog inspired their creativity.
Making the MiniMoogseum a Reality: Volunteers and Sponsors
The MiniMoogseum was designed and built by a team of volunteers and sponsors—the foundation playfully refers to them as Rockstars--including Gene Felice, Domus Aurea Woodworking Design, Steve Dunnington and Mike Pieo.
Materials for the project were donated by Cormark International, Speedy Graphics, Moog Music, Asheville Hardware and Henco Reprographics. This project is the first step in an iterative process for the Foundation. The full-sized Moogseum, scheduled to open in four years, will feature interactive and experiential exhibits that inspire the next generation of Bob Moog like innovators, as well as an intimate performance area, where musicians from around the world can participate in the Foundation's programming.
Special thanks to Meg, Rhino & Jon Leidel for capturing this even on both video and photo!"

Many thanks to Thib for this awesome work and don't forget to have a look at his website to discover his whole world : thediggest.com"
"This is a rare item [see update below].with CEM3389/5508 chip it sounds closer to original PPG than normal Micro-Wave synthesizers. OS VERSION 2.0." I'm assuming this is in comparison to the Microwave II. Anyone know if there were different versions of the original Microwave?

"The Machinedrum SPS-1UW MKII is the sharpest rhythm producing tool in existence. It combines extremely flexible drum synthesis methods with a sampling engine. The powerful sequencer is the icing on the cake.
The Machinedrum SPS-1UW MKII, where UW is short for User Wave, is a drum machine equipped with numerous drum synthesis methods as well as a sampling engine. But this is not your ordinary beat box, it's something far better. Both synthetic and sample based sounds can be manipulated to great extents. In a matter of seconds a vocal sample can be transformed in to a kick drum. Change a few parameters and a hand clap is suddenly a hi hat. Your imagination is the only limit.
Live performers have a trusty companion in the SPS-1UW MKII. Capture loops from a turntable, slice and rearrange the recorded material while adding effects and filtering. The ultra-flexible sequencer allows for total control of all your sounds and samples. All in real time."
YouTube via cuckoomusic — May 22, 2010 — "Yesterday I made a MIDI controller with the help from Captain Credible! My initial goal was to make a controller for Ableton Live's LOOPER. But since it's MIDI it can be used for just about anything. It's my first MIDI box, so don't expect anything breathtaking ;) Check it out!
"modded with CV & Gate & Filter CV in's.. It does have them on the back (Stock), but as anyone who has tried to CV up a MC-202 will explain, as the CV & Gate go through it's processors, it becomes all laggy and unusable.
also added a Filter CV control in, so you can sequence the filter if you want to.. (ie, so you could route velocity to filter)
This mod bypasses the CPU, and sends the CV and Gate signals straight to the Synth section. If no plugs are plugged in, it reverts back to it's original state, ie, Stock MC-202. (This is if you want to use it's internal sequencer to sequence it etc)"

"Health Club Music is a custom boutique builder with typical build/wait times for its units. This auction is the only place where you can get one of these beauties already built - no waiting! I tried it with my vintage synth keyboard and got everything from wild oscillations to serious synthy distortions to sweet envelope filter sweeps. It can also do a ridiculous variety of self-oscillation, even with no input signal. Even though the Switcheroo sounds great with my keyboard, I think it more suited for loops, mixes and drum machines. DJs and producers should love it! I just sold a sweet Jomox M-Resonator, and this Switcheroo is like an M-Resonator on steroids! But, like the Jomox, the Switcheroo is too much filter for me."
