Peter Brown's (Madonna) Oberheim Xpander Up for Auction?
via this auction"This unit was at one time owned by Peter Brown, and there is a service log on the back of the unit documenting this - see the photos. Here is some information on Peter Brown from allmusic.com: 'Peter Brown first came to fame with the first million-selling 12" dance single, "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky with Me." Brown was a pioneer in home recording, having recorded his seminal hit in his bedroom. (His '70s-era home recording studio is pictured on the cover of Westside/DNA's Get Funky with Me: The Best of the TK Years.) He also co-wrote Madonna's 1985 pop hit, "Material Girl," with Peter Rans.'"

Roland MT-32
via this auction"This listing is for the Roland MT-32 hard-to-find first generation. The first generation has the best audio-quality and is the least noisiest, as later revisions implemented measures that lowered the dynamics and introduced more noise along with overall lower-quality components.
It is a direct relative to the legendary Roland D-50 synthesizer. It works perfectly, and there are no imperfections of any kind. A standard MIDI cable will also be included. Will take a standard Roland 9v adapter."

via this auction"The Legendary MEMORYMOOG PLUS, with ADDED AFTERTOUCH, brought to you out of safe seclusion, nearly as pristine as the day it was manufactured.
The FATTEST, RICHEST MOOG SOUND MADE in a non-modular system. ALL THE CONTROLS AND # OF VCOS OF THE CLASSIC MINIMOOG X 6!
That's right: 3 VCO's per voice, and there are SIX VOICES, 18 VCO's, 12 ADSR Envelope Generators, 6 VCFs, with Program Memory and ANALOG VCO AUTOTUNE (Thank God!) Same controls, same location. Legendary CEM VCO and VCF. And sure, you can make the VCO's "beat" and "roll" with the FINE TUNE vernier control. This is the coveted PLUS version, with refined and updated POWER SUPPLY, MIDI and SEQUENCER.AND, unlike any other MemoryMoog Plus, this one has AFTERTOUCH (aka Pressure Sensing) and VELOCITY Sensing Keyboard (also available WITHOUT it).
SEE THE PLATE?THAT'S THE EXTERNAL CONFIRMATION OF THE "PLUS" FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE ON THIS DELUXE MODEL. (INTERNAL MODS ARE ALSO PART OF THE PACKAGE, INCLUDING UPGRADED POWER SUPPLY)."
MINT MAXED MOOG MINIMOOG with Aftertouch
via this auction"THE REAL THING: The Legendary MINIMOOG, in ABSOLUTELY MINT condition,
fully restored by EME (40 years experience) and functioning perfectly.
WITH AFTERTOUCH AND VELOCITY SENSING ADDED TO THE KEYBOARD!!
MAIN ELECTRONICS UPDATED FOR MORE STABLE VCO'S.
NOW "THE SOUND" WITH THE EXPRESSIVENESS ONLY AN AFTERTOUCH KEYBOARD GIVES.Even Analog Modeling synths exhibit "zipper noise" in their quantizing an analog phenomenon: the opening and closing of a filter. You'll hear the difference immediately. This thing is ORGANIC next to digital, or MINIMOOG re-creations. And of course that individual-component-style Moog Ladder filter shapes and squeezes each note with that unmistakably MOOG timbre control Thank you so much Bob, wherever you are.
The MINIMOOG had several VCO versions. While they all generate the sound the same way, (so "the sound" is always there no matter which version you use) the earlier versions tended to temperature-sensitive at times, and thus drifted in tuning, requiring constant tweaking during performance. That is what you will likely get on other Minimoogs that show up. SOLUTION: Confirm the VCO's are of the LATEST REV. That's what's shown below, and included and calibrated in the MicroMoog MAX here. These were only available in the very latest MiniMoogs.
EXTERNAL CONTROL INPUTS. 0-10VDC.The AFTERTOUCH/VELOCITY are routed, with plugs, to these inputs.
WANT EVEN MORE CONTROL? Inquire about the available OPTION 2,
which brings the several other Aftertouch and Velocity controls and outputs
out onto the front or rear panel, as you order.
ACCESSORY POWER SOCKETS. Several external options, like ribbon controller, sequencer, etc. were made available for the MiniMoog and these jacks allow some of them to be powered. Note the 50mA rating."

Dowser is Hiroyuki Nagashima, Masateru Terai and Takashi Miyagawa. Since their musical approach varies with every piece, their music cannot be described in short, however, it always evokes visual images. Using vintage synthesizers such as EMS, Buchla and latest DSP, the music they produce has sometimes barbaric and sometimes vulnerable feel.They have been working with several leading film directors, including Sogo Ishii, Katsuhiro Otomo, Kunitoshi Manda and Shinji Aoyama."

Mark Jenkin's "The iPad Album" Synth List
See the update in this post. Note "The iPad Album" precedes the new Gorillaz iPad album and technically appears to be the first commercially available album made with the iPad. However it is worth noting iMatik made withe the iPhone preceded both. See this post for reference. One thing that hasn't been done from what I can tell is an album produced and mixed on the iPad or iPhone from start to finish. Note: "Mark Jenkins is the author of "Analog Synthesizers" available worldwide through Amazon(posted here) and an internationally published music technology author and keyboard collector."

MGMT - Kids short cover on Alesis Ion synthesizer
YouTube via adzy31 | November 25, 2008 |
"me trying to recreate some of the sounds from "Kids" by MGMT. this is one take, the drums are from Reason and the rest is all from the Ion.
A few mistakes but i find it hard to multitask... bass, lead, keyboard and foot pedal are too many things for me to do at once :P
fairly short - i was going to record the entire song but thought....if i'm not singing on it, there's no point really, as the background music is fairly repetitive. maybe if i can find someone with a decent voice we can cover it properly?
the audio is straight from my digicam. i recorded the audio in this on the PC but the volume was messed up, and it sounds alright from the camera anyway."
And the original track (note this is not the official video, see below):

Lyrics: You were a child, Crawling on your knees toward it, Making momma so proud, But your voice is too loud, We like to watch you laughing, You pick the insects off plants, No time to think of consequences [Chorus: Control yourself, Take only what you need from it/him, A family of trees wanted, To be haunted] The water is warm, But it’s sending me shivers, A baby is born, Crying out for attention, The memories fade, Like looking through a fogged mirror, Decision to decisions are made, And not bought, But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot. I guess not.

About Abby and Rafael: www.myspace.com/abrafever
Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line.
The story goes like this: December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn't want to shave so I didn't push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I've done so far.
January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on Youtube just for kicks.
April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel.
May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends."

"Built up a Midibox SID on a breadbaord. This is using one 8580 SID out of a a Commodore 64, using one of the default bassline patches.
There is a slight reverb on the first half, then I add more reverb and chorus on second part, also tweaking the internal filter of the SID."

Triadex Muse Vintage Music Synth MIT Digital Instrument
via this auction
"The Triadex Muse is a sequencer based synthesizer. It was first produced in 1972. It was a deterministic event generator that used early digital integrated circuits to generate an audio output that could sound very musical. In this auction you will receive both the Triadex muse and the accompanying amplifier. They both have the original boxes. Even though they were ahead of their time and somewhat of a technical marvel, very few were produced. The cosmetic condition of the units are in excellent condition as seen in the pictures. The original instruction manual and tags are included with the Muse. We don't have the patch cords that go from the Muse to the amplifier to test the operation of the amplifier. So the amplifier was not tested and is being sold along with the Muse in “as is” condition. This is a rare opportunity to own both the Muse and the amplifier. The Muse was designed by MIT graduates Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky in the late 1960’s. Minsky was on the set of “2001 A Space Odyssey”, and taught Stanley Kubrick about Artificial Intelligence as he created Hal. Years later, Edward Fredkin created the Fredkin Prize, which awarded the creator or creators of the first computer to compete and win the World Chess Championship. The Muse is a music composer machine or digital synthesizer and melody composer, involving early logic modules in a unique circuit that allows the possibility of 14 trillion musical note combinations It's an algorithmic music generator that uses digital logic circuits to produce a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters. The four small sliders in the lower-left control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. The switches to either side are used to start and stop the sequence, or to step through it note-by-note. Of the eight larger sliders on the right, four control the musical intervals used (labeled A, B, C, and D), and four control the theme (labeled W, X, Y, and Z). A rest can be substituted for the lowest note by flipping a toggle switch. The exact logic behind the composition engine is rather technical, and not exactly intuitive. The tempo clock can be slaved to that of another Muse, allowing for multi-part compositions. The Muse is the subject of U. S. Patent 3610801, and their patent abstract of this electronic music composer reads as follows: In the apparatus disclosed herein, a note generator is controlled by a long term, quasi-periodic function which is in turn generated by applying digital feedback in preselected combinations around a digital register. The register comprises means for holding a plurality of bits of digital information in a given order, e.g. a shift register or counter, the held information being changeable according to a predetermined pattern in response to input signals applied thereto. Digital feedback is provided by applying to the register at least one input signal which is obtained according to a preselectable or adjustable code from bits of information obtained from various points in the register itself. The apparatus thus, in effect, composes music as distinguished from merely synthesizing sound. It is not known exactly how many Muses were made, [cyberlegend has it that only 280 to 300 were made] but they are very rare, and were never available in stores. The Muse originally had an even rarer accessory, the “Light Show”, which flashed colored lights in time to the music. It was a very simple circuit and was constructed of, believe it or not, G.E. colored Christmas lights.
The specs are as follows:
Model – Muse
Serial no. 00729-113
AC 115-125v 60CPS 40w
ok50Hz
Amplifier model no. AS-1
Serial no. 00072-108 "
