“This 2600 has seen NO touring work and came out of a Studio where it was maintained in original excellent condition. There are 5 small 1/4in tears in the tolex. Two of them still have the rolled tolex intact, 3 are missing the fabric. One seamed corner on the keyboard case has a straight line tear at the crease. A SUPER easy restoration to perfect. The pictures show a no BS condition of the instrument. There are a few light scuffs and some dirt here and there. The left side metal re-inforced corner pieces have some rust. Again, easy to restore. The panels, pots, sliders, jacks and electronics are PERFECT. It sounds great, it looks great and we have TWO...make this one yours for a fair price.”

Not much more to say about this 2600. It works perfectly. The sliders and parts are all original and work without scratching. It has the NON-potted modules (read: can be repaired), Duo-phonic keyboard. Original cables are included. No manuals. The only thing keeping the case from being perfect is some cleaning and the vinyl repair of a few VERY small tears. The hardware looks great, nothing bent, nothing caved in. The left side has some rust on the hardware that would clean up pretty easily with some scotchbrite. The panels on both the keyboard and the synth are flawless.

"Serial number 5555, and has the original service tag from 1974. Here is some info about this particular model:

Minimoog D Moog Music (1972). These ones are the "famous" old osc. board but these osc board are not at all the same as the RA & Musonic. This is the common version of the Mini D. Their tunning was better than the first models (RA & Musonic). All serial numbers until SN 10175 were issued with this "original" oscillator board. If you remove the back metal cover (few screws) you'll find the completion date of your Mini. First Moog Music models have metal panel (not only the RA and the Musonic). The later one (but before SN 10175) have full plastic panel. Modulation wheels are smooth white and perhaps the last models (but before 10175) the white ribbed plastic. Inscriptions around knobs are different than on the RA & Musonic models."

uPhase+ Video Apps4idevicesMusic

"Before you read the App Store description, I would like to say 1 or 2 things... (Perhaps 3... or 4...!) First, a big thanks to the developer for creating uPhase+. Secondly uPhase is really unique on the App Store! (I think that Musicians who don't use an iDevice miss out big time... there are so many foolish developers in this world who create so many foolish Apps... and for a such a small price...!). Thirdly: to use uPhase+ for the first time, you have to learn the basics of how it works. So take get a glass of milk a chocolate cigarette and sit down and read this post (or go straight to the of developer's website)... Please make this small effort because this will enable you to enjoy uPhase+ fast... Fourthly, uPhase works really well, I had the honour to work on it for a whole week and didn't find any bugs. The App is really steady, so "bravo" again to the developer. Fifthly, Recording and AudioCopy are already in the works and will come in a future update. In conclusion, uPhase+ is a Killer App and is the kind of App which shows how important it is for a musician to own an iDevice in this day and age!

'Developped by a composer, uPhase+ is a virtual instrument geared towards live play. It focuses on giving the player total control over phasing patterns that can be spatialized on up to seven devices. 

A "Solo Mode" acts as the app's lab, allowing the player to refine and save patterns before setting up a networked session. 

uPhase+ is a door to Interactive Minimalism.

-12 Video tutorials on uPhase.wordpress.com help you to make the most of uPhase+.

-Conceived from the ground up for iPad, fully multi-touch interface.

-Beautifully recorded piano samples, modifiable in real-time via an in-app sample editor (all samples by Bluemorfo).

-Network up to 7 devices via wifi to spatialize patterns.
When networking devices, only one of them needs to run uPhase+. The others can connect via the free companion app, uPhase Client.

-Example Session included to get you going.

-Crisp graphics take advantage of the New iPad's retina display.

-Optimized to require very little bandwidth, even when networking 7 devices.

-Depending on demand and feasability, future updates will add requested features. WAV output is for the moment at the top of the list.'"

Elektron Analog Four - Processing Machinedrum


Published on Nov 27, 2012 by MrDataline

"Wanted to show how you can make use of the inputs on the Analog Four. All drum sounds are made by the Machinedrum and it is being fed into the Analog Four, using filters, overdrive and FX. I tried to 'abuse' the FX so you can get a feel how 'nice' sounding these new algorithms are, especially when after assigning LFOs to FX parameters...

This machine feels so 'right' to perform on. Total hands on control for those squelching synth lines!

Would like to show more, but all in good time!

Super Fat Analog Roland Guitar Synth Video

Super Fat Analog Roland Guitar Synth - GR-300 VG-99 Control Voltage MIDI Demo

Published on Nov 26, 2012 by WayneJoness

"http://www.joness.com/gr300/vwham.htm Inspired by the original Analogger GR-300 video using control voltages [embed added below], this clip shows a simple VG-99 GR-300 patch being modulated using MIDI CC commands for filter cutoff and resonance. With its built in effects, including poly compression which puts a compressor on each individual string, the VG-99 is capable rich, thick, analog synthesizer tones. In this demo, the two VCOs of the GR-300 are layered in 5ths for a fatter sound."

Update: some additional info from WayneJoness:
"Quite some time ago, I was really impressed with a demo of the Roland GR-300 that Analogger did, using a MIDI sequence, then converting the MIDI sequence to control voltages using a Roland MPU-101, and then taking the output of the MPU-101 to the CV/filter pedal input on the GR-300.

So I thought: couldn't you do this directly with the VG-99? It would be easy to make a basic MIDI sequence that would send MIDI CCs to the VG-99. I came up with a simple pattern and added a drum loop. See the video below. Most of this video is me playing a four note pattern on the VG-99: E, G, F and Bb, with the VCOs tuned in 5ths. In some sections I added a top note on the high E string, and in other sections, I just played minor chords: Em, Gm, Fm and Bbm. I added in a low bass at one point, with the second VCO pitched one octave down.

I used poly compression and regular compression to reduce the natural attack of the GR-300 to give it more of a keyboard sound. Anyway, I was surprised at how analog the entire thing sounds, it fell together quickly, and I spent as much time tweaking the video as I did playing the track! Because of the nature of the GR-300 waveform, and the fact that the guitar almost never plays the same note the same way twice, I think this is very convincing analog simulation, on par with the best virtual analog synths."

Update 9:47PM: Here's the Roland GR-300 video referenced in the description above.

Roland GR-300 Guitar Synth (filter modulation)

Uploaded by Analogger on Jul 18, 2007

"Greetings everybody! Please check out my new Myspace music page when you get a chance. The project goes by the name "Mr. Dithers." thanks!

http://www.myspace.com/mrdithersnoisebox
I have this immaculate Roland GR-300 guitar synth and the G-707 guitar controller. (I have the 505 as well which actually works better with the GR-300 but I wanted to test the 707 with the 24-pin cable I bought on Ebay!)) I am not really a guitar player but wanted to use the 300 for textures - kind of like what Andy Summers did with his on certain Police tunes. The GR-300 is not midi in any way. It is triggered by a guitar equipped with a GK-1 pickup and rare 24-pin cable. The GR-300 features six voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs)-one for each string. It also features a hexa-fuzz unit (again one for each string) which can be layered with the VCOs. You can also blend the actual clean guitar sound as well. The key to the sound is that the VCOs and Hexa-fuzz go through a beautiful fat 24dB analog filter. The cutoff and resonance are adjusted from the guitar. However, in the back of the unit you will find an input for an expression pedal. This is designed to sweep the filter to give you wah-wah efx. This is for all the synth geeks out there who are compulsive 'tone chasers.'"

Moog Liberation Synthesizer w/ Road Case

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Note this is the second one listed today.  You can find the first one here.

via the listing: " There are no playability/audio/functionality issues with this Liberation (though I was not able to test the external synth control which is on the power supply interface box).

One of the MM5823 frequency divider chips went bad about 5 years ago and I replaced it (with a Flatkeys reengineered clone chip) last year. It sounds indistinguishable from the original. There are chips in the paint/finish on the body of the synth - on corners especially, see pictures for details. One of the back plates screws was missing so it has been replaced.


What is Included:
- Liberation synthesizer
- power supply / audio interface / external synth control box
- original power supply-to-synth cable

- original road case
- black leather strap (probably original, but I'm not certain)
- 4 rack screws with washers (original? who knows - but they are in a little zip lock bag which makes me think perhaps not)
- 1 spare Flatkeys MM5823 clone chip (I bought 2 when the one in the Liberation went bad, more info at flatkeys.co.uk )
- the original key to lock/unlock the latches on the roadcase
- original warranty card


I have a gallery of many more detailed pictures on my server here"
