Nr Synth Alligator & Caïman Analog Hardware Synthesizers with Vintage Oscillator & Filter Designs

Published on Mar 8, 2016 Nr Synth

This one in via Soviet Space Child. Above are demos for the Alligator and below for the Caïman. Each offers three oscillators and two filters. You can select between vintage Moog 921, ARP 2600 (4027-1), or ARP Odyssey oscillators.  For the two filters you can chose any combination of Moog 904A, Minimoog, ARP 4072, Stiener, EMS, SEM, and ARP 4023 (Odyssey) filters. The Alligator offers a "Moog Trio" option which they claim to be the equivalent of a Moog System 33/55, including the 904B (HPF), 904C (HPF), and 904C (coupler). The oscillators and filters are analog so you have to make your choice when ordering similar to Studio Electronic synths which feature different filters for their Boomstar, ATC and SE synths. Both the Alligator & Caïman feature a clone of the Moog 902 VCA. See the full specs for each below.

via Perfect Circuit Audio - available for pre-order.

Click the pic for the full-size shot.

"The Moog modular Model 15 is an ultra-powerful, compact studio synthesizer designed for liveperformance and portability. It is housed in a rugged tolex-encased cabinet and is an idealsolution for the touring synthesist. The Model 15 design focuses on speed, creativity andsimplicity while still providing the enormous sonic depth and dimension found only in a vintageMoog modular synthesizer. The 907 Fixed Filter Bank section of the Model 15 is available inmultiple configurations to better suit the needs of the performing musician.

FAITHFULLY RECREATING THE MODEL 15

Over the course of 3 years, Moog Music set out to research and build a faithful recreation of theclassic Moog modular Model 15 analog synthesizer. Using all original documentation as well ascircuit board and art files for every module, Moog Engineers have painstakingly recreated thispowerful and portable analog system.

Each Model 15 is hand-built to its original 1974 Moog factory specifications and is a truerecreation of the original. Individual modules are brought to life just as the originals were, byhand-stuffing and hand-soldering components to circuit boards, and using traditional wiringmethods. Each module is then finished with a photo-etched aluminum panel, and placed in itsnew modular instrument.

This limited edition reissue of the Moog modular Model 15 is built to order, and is available invery limited quantities. Only 150 Model 15s will be made.

Moog Announces New Modular Systems for 2015 with Back to the Future Sounds Documentary

Back to the Future Sounds Published on Jan 19, 2015

"On January 19, 2015 Moog Music Inc. announced their plans to recommence a limited run manufacturing of three of their most sought after 5U large format modular synthesizers: The System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15. These three modular synthesizer systems were originally created and manufactured by Moog in 1973.

To commemorate the announcement, Moog shot a short film at their factory about the inspiring and multifaceted relationship artists have with modular synthesizers. The video features electronic music pioneers such as Suzanne Ciani, Malcolm Cecil, David Borden, Dick Hyman and Herb Deutsch alongside performances on the new Moog modular systems by Holy Ghost! (DFA Records), Gavin Russom (ECSTATIC/Entropy Trax), Max Ravitz AKA Patricia (L.I.E.S./Opal Tapes/ Spectral Sound), Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (Western Vinyl), Jacques Greene (Vase/LuckyMe) and M. Geddes Gengras (Stones Throw/Leaving). Each artist played a patch on one or more of the new Moog modular synthesizers recorded in one take with no overdubs."

Suzanne Ciani | System 55

Published on Jan 19, 2015

"In this video, electronic music and sound design pioneer Suzanne Ciani explores the Moog modular System 55 for the first time in decades. Ciani came to the Moog factory in Asheville, NC to play the first System 55 newly handcrafted by Moog in over thirty years. The patch, created and performed live, was shot in one take and features a sequence designed on the 960 Sequential Controller that's driving three 921B oscillators into a 904B High Pass filter whose cutoff is being modulated by a 921 oscillator. A second set of 921B oscillators is also being played manually into a 904A Low Pass filter whose cutoff knob is also being modulated by the 921 oscillator. The resulting sound of each is then sent through its own dedicated MF-104M analog delay for ambience. The audio has been captured directly with no eq, compression, or editing applied."

And the press release:

"ASHEVILLE, NC – January 19, 2015 — January 19, 2014 Asheville, NC: 50 years ago, at its first introduction, the Moog modular synthesizer represented as radical a transition as Kandinski’s abstracts or Kodak’s cameras – offering both a break from yesterday and a startling glimpse of tomorrow. And, as with all cultural explosions, the impact of Dr. Bob Moog’s invention was impossible to evaluate from the epicenter. It’s only now, 50 years down the line that we can get some measure of the importance, and the sheer untapped potentiality of the Moog Modular Synthesizer.

Today, it is with great excitement that Moog Music Inc. announces their plans to re-commence the limited run manufacturing of three of their most sought after 5U large format modular synthesizers: The System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15. These three modular synthesizer systems were originally created and manufactured by Moog in 1973.

To commemorate the announcement, Moog shot a short film at their factory about the inspiring and multifaceted relationship artists have with modular synthesizers. The video features electronic music pioneers such as Suzanne Ciani, Malcolm Cecil, David Borden, Dick Hyman and Herb Deutsch alongside performances by contemporary modular artists like Holy Ghost! (DFA), Gavin Russom (ECSTATIC/Entropy Trax), Max Ravitz AKA Patricia (L.I.E.S./Spectral Sound/Opal Tapes), Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (Western Vinyl), Jacques Greene (Vase/LuckyMe) and M. Geddes Gengras (Stones Throw). Each artist played a patch live, in one take, with no overdubs on one or more of the new Moog Modular systems.

The foundation for this announcement was laid last year at Moogfest 2014, when Moog released the Emerson Moog Modular system – a faithful recreation of Keith Emerson’s legendary modular instrument, which was the culmination of three years worth of research and engineering. Now Moog will use the techniques learned recreating the EMMS manufacturing process to once again build these modular systems. Crucially, in deference to the unique character and appeal of the original instruments, these systems will be made entirely to their original product specifications and manufacturing techniques and processes.

Working from the 1970s schematics, the System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15 will be meticulously handcrafted, as a true recreation of the original. The modules are built from the original circuit board films - just as they were in 1973- by hand-stuffing and hand-soldering components to circuit boards, and using traditional wiring methods. The front panels are photo-etched aluminum, a classic process rarely still used in today’s synthesizer manufacturing, to maintain the classic and durable look of vintage Moog modules.

Upon their first release in 1973, the System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15 represented a high watermark for modular synthesis, and their inimitable tones can be heard shaping many much-loved albums. They were fundamental in the development of contemporary soul, RnB, and disco from giving Stevie Wonder’s classic run of 70s LPs their questing, innovative edge, to providing Giorgio Moroder with the pulsating machine melodies that ushered in electronic dance. At the same time, these were the instruments that inspired Brian Eno to push further out into seas of layered tranquillity on his pioneering ambient albums, or provoked bands like Yes and Tangerine Dream to blast their sonic freak outs into the cosmos.

However, the reintroduction of these instruments is not about reliving the past – while much incredible work has been done with the Moog Modular, there is so much further yet to be explored in this relatively young instrument. Artists had only begun to grasp the vast possibilities of these large format modular synthesizers when they went out of production over thirty years ago. Decades of electronic experimentation have enabled musicians to move on from viewing the Moog Modular as a replacement for traditional instrumentation. Now a new generation of artists, with a greater understanding and more complex tools, will have the opportunity to explore the power of these singular sonic machines. Today, the modular synthesizer is viewed in the manner Bob Moog originally intended: to “discover endless offbeat, unconventional, and even irrational ways of working.”

The dedicated nature of the Moog modular rebuilding process is such that the units will come in extremely limited quantities. There will be 55 units of the System 55, priced at $35,000 per instrument; 35 of units of the System 35, priced at $22,000 per instrument; and 150 units of the Model 15, priced at $10,000 per instrument.

Alongside these Moog Modular Systems will be the Sequencer Complement B Expansion Cabinet, a dual 960 Sequential Controller, an accompaniment to the System 35 and System 55, that has been out of production for over 30 years– as well as an optional 5-Octave duo phonic keyboard."

Some of the serial numbers on the back lead up to 1982.

"Used but in unbelievable condition for it's age!

Please watch the test video. We do know that the keyboards need to have the bushings replaced. They electrically work fine but the action is not perfect and the keys sit at different heights. There is one burned out pilot light and 3 system bulbs not lighting. There are 10 missing screws that hold the modules in the rack. One of the 960 Sequential Controllers is only working through the manual step process and not auto repeating through the 8 steps. All the lights do work on it and I've been told it is an easy fix. One missing case handle, Tolex covering is 97% in perfect shape with just a few very small rip marks, one cut and a few dents.

Vintage Modular Moog Synthesizer Suit Case System From 1968-1970s [82] with 2 Keyboards

This MOOG system come to you from the Western Michigan University Music School where it has been in their lab since the late '60s. There is a manual booklet full of blue prints and schematics for the modules that comes with the purchase and the log-in books from the university.

The system has been tested and is 95% functioning perfectly. Please watch the testing video. When played the sounds of the past all come to life! That big fat low pitched analog sound produced by the oscillators is gut shaking to experience. Also the higher flute and brass sounding tones just sing out. The sequencer can generate another layer of melodies that you can then play over. We will ship this freight and cover the cost to ship it to you.

Custom Moog Modular System 55 For Sale

"Modules Included: 901, 901A, 3-901B, 4-902, 903, 2-904A, 904B, 907A, 4-911, 911A, 921, 951, 960, 961CP, 962CP, 984, 991, custom 994 (3x), 2-CP3A, CP4A, upgraded CP8A


This Custom Moog Modular System 55 has two very unique features: Two 904A low pass filters and both the 901 and 921 series oscillators. Having two 904A's greatly expands the flexibility of the sound engine and the addition of the 921 control oscillator adds functionality while maintaining the richness of the sonically superior 901 series. The system also has an upgraded power supply which helps maintain oscillator stability. This synthesizer was not designed to be looked at or used as a fancy minimoog -it was built to be a complete and complex electronic sound machine. $62,000.00 For show in LA, CA. Serious inquires and buyers only contact: info@aisounddesign.com"

Update via 3P in the comments: "Not a 55. Module placement is different, the Moog module logos are Trumansburg/Williamsburg era. And there are no 921 Series oscillators."

And via Unknown in the comments, there's actually a 921 in the system. Top row to the left of the four channel mixer, pictured here to the left.

Update2 via the seller: "What is meant by 'System 55' is basically a main cab with single tier, rather than a 35 which was just the main cab. "Module placement is different" ie "Custom." Looks like a 921 and there are a lot of RA Moog logos. This system is a unique design; a hybrid of multiple generations. Also note that the 962CP is very rare, most module lists don't seem to mention it."


Update3 via Brian in the comments: "Likely NOT delivered from the factory that way. It is what it is, but calling it a System 55 is not correct. The 901 oscillators were discontinued in 1972, when the 921's replaced them. At the time, NO ONE felt the 901s were superior in any way (some of us now think differently). I see a mixture of RAMoog (1960s generally) and Moog Music modules there (1972 and later), too.


Again - any customer could order anything from the factory, but it's highly unlikely this was ordered this way; rather it is built from traded in-out components to make a great system. I'd MUCH prefer to have one like this with both sets of oscillators. All the MAJOR synths by major players were not stock catalog versions, but custom rigs for their needs."

Update4: via Moog1P in the comments: " The bottom cabinet looks to be an early 1C configuration. Every component is there, with the blank panels replaced with the 962CP and 961CP. The placement of the two CP3 mixers would have been to the left, under the 901AB bank and under the 901. At some time the system looks to be upgraded with the installed CP961/962 sequencer components, where the CP blanks were removed, and CP3's moved to the right.

Would be an early 1C as this one has the very first Lexan type lighted flip switchs, only seen on late '67, early'68 models. All the correct lexan switches are there, two sets for the oscillators, and a set for the filter, with trigger/envelope routing, making the cabinet a 1C. The 2C would have 3 CP3 mixers, and the 3C would have 4 CP3 mixers with no CP routing switches, as they were on seperate 1U panels for filter and trigger/envelope.


The module placement above is what you would order any way you wanted. Not uncommon to order a 1C with an extra 901C, and to ommit the 905 reverb to add the 904B high pass filter, direct from the factory. Looks like what we have here. The only other addition to the lower cabinet is the 1U blank replaced with 911A trigger delay. And at some time (definitely not Moog), the removal of the Cinch male S-trigger from the 1/2/3 trigger outputs. (Probably done when the CP3's were moved and 961/962CP added.)

The upper cabinet is an add on, possibly at a later time, but could have been part of the original order. At that time the additional 984 quad mixer, envelopes, VCA's were added. The 960 sequencer, probably added much later, when the bottom CP panels were moved. And much later 921 added. Does not look to me to be a unit made from other Moogs, but rather a 1C with a few add-ons. Everything is there from an early 1C with many period correct additions. Very nice unit, only missing the 905 reverb and 956 ribbon controller. Wouldn't take much to undo those questionable mods to restore this to original specs."

"This is a rare vintage piece from the late 70's from Moog's Custom Engineering division, the same part of the company that custom built the large modular systems of that era.(You can see in the fourth photo it says "custom engineering" just below the Moog name on the faceplate.) It is basically 2 of the 921 oscillators that were used in those systems, in a rack mounted unit. It can be patched into anything to get that incredible Moog oscillator sound!"

MOOG SYNTHEZIZER #35 '76 walnut slant synth

via this auction

"Moog #35 analog synthesizer circa 1976. To my knowledge, there has never been another like this on Ebay. The #35 is probably more rare than the #55 as there are no pictures of it anywhere on the web. A #55 was currently for sale for $35,000. Lights alone are so cool that coming into a room and seeing it is enough to make your heart skip.

Auction includes a Moog 951 keyboard controller complete with original military surplus type connections as well as a #55 sales brochure. Behind the rear panel it reads Model 350-000 S#9042, Oct. 26 1976. Outer walnut casing is in great shape with only minor scratches and dings. It would probably look even better with a little oil or furniture polish but I haven’t done anything to the original finish. I have decided that the wood is poplar wood stained walnut. The inside is museum grade wiring; beautiful and untouched by human hands since factory, as far as I can tell. The synthesizer has a power cord but I don’t know if it’s original. One key is missing but easily fixed at a reputable keyboard shop. Keys are a little sticky as it needs to be played. No patch cables are included in this auction...

Here’s a list of the modules in this synthesizer—all signed by initial on little Moog yellow tags (will not part-out - so don’t ask):
(1) power supply p-8546
(2) 921A
(4) 921B
(1) 923
(1) 921
(1) 907A

(1) 904B
(3) 902
(3) 911
(1) cp4A

(1) cp35
(2) cp3A
It also has a oscillator control to filter mod. and 911-902 trigger and coupling module."

The reason for some modules being RA Moog, some being from '73, and others dating from '76-'77, is because as Emerson would service his monster Moog's modules one at a time, he would swap between units. Although at one point this was an intact '76/'77 System, it has since been serviced and repaired, as Emerson's demanding touring schedule dictated.

The auction includes both original cabinets, (although the smaller top cabinet is in rough shape due to tour abuse), a reissue 22-space top cabinet, a reissue keyboard garage/stand, an original 950 RA Moog controller, and a variety of cables. Everything one needs to fully use this synth will be included.

As explained, this synth works perfectly and sounds amazing. We encourage local interest to come view, inspect, and hear the unit in person."

Update3: It looks like this may not be Keith Emerson's after all. The following is via an email from "Keith Emerson Business Office" forwarded to me by Michelle Moog-Koussa of the Bob Moog Foundation.

"Dear All,

Please post/forward this everywhere. Keith does not wish anyone to fall victim of fraud, especially for $15100 or potentially much more.

This item sold on ebay is claimed to have been owned by Keith Emerson.
It is either
1) constructed with stolen parts, or
2) complete misrepresentation (It was never owned by Keith).

Keith does own a small back-up unit that is supposed to be in a storage unit, but it looks nothing like the photos on this page. He has NEVER sold or given any MOOG units to anyone.

Keith asked the seller to disclose the name of the person who sold it to him, but he refused to disclose the info. (Keith has a very good idea who that is, and I'm sure you do too)

Keith requested the seller to remove the listing, and has reported the fraudulent listing to eBay."

MOOG System 12 Modular

Details:
"The synth was built on 9/21/73 and also has some of the original R A Moog modules. Also included are eleven of the original 1/4 audio patch cords, 4 trigger patch cords, Moog Modular service manual and a photocopy of the Moog System 15 users manual. All of the modules on the synth are complete (including the original knobs), work perfectly and were never adjusted or re-calibrated (which can be done with the use of the included service manual, if you know what you are doing!). The keyboard is also complete and works properly including the gold contacts which were just cleaned with De-Ox compound. Both original covers for the keyboard and main cabinet are also included. The original socket recepticle on the power cord was cracked, partially disintegrated and was replaced by seperate crimped connectors (its not original but is does work and is electrically safe!) The cabinet tolex is in good shape with no rips or tears but has been refinished to cover the stenciling that the original owner (which was a west coast college) painted numbers on it for inventory and theft control. The pictures show the current tolex condition which looks 100 percent better then it did when I got it! The original modules, power supply and cabinet still have the original yellow Moog manufacturing stickers in place. Now the upgrade part! - three new modules were added to replace the original Moog 907 fixed filter bank module, which in my opinion is a glorified EQ!. These new modules were made by Mike Bucki at Moog Custom Engineering and consist of a 904B High Pass Filter, 911A Dual Trigger Delay and 1528 Sample and Hold. The original Moog and some of the R A Moog modules consist of a 902 VCA, 903 Noise Source, 904A Low Pass Filter, two 911 Envelope Generators. 921 oscillator, 921A Oscillator Driver and two 921B Oscillators."
