Mattel Electronics Synsonics and Novation X station

YouTube via inducejack
"Heres a little tune with a mattel synsonic analog drum machine and synth lines from a Novation X station running through a DOD 585 Analog ... all » Delay. No other gear is on because the synsonic has no syncing capabilities for now but will soon mod for trigger ins... If you notice about half way I get psyched out thinking that the 707 is on...This was me just having fun hope you enjoy."

Mego Muson Synthesizer toy art NEUTRA

via this auction

"Hi there. My name is Max Neutra. I am an artist in Los Angeles. Thanks for checking out the shop.

What we have here is a 10"x10" painting of a Mego Muson Synthesizer. In my opinion, this is the holy grail of vintage music toys. I was lucky enough to find one years ago before the ebay market seized up on these. You can physically rearrange the colored block in what I would call a sequencer, creating what the box says are "the strangest sounds in the galaxy".

This painting was originally created for a solo show / record release party in Hollywood. It sold, but in the end the buyer traded it back towards more expensive work. Now I offer it to you!

Before I started painting, I made electronic music for eight years. I was obsessed with obscure noise making devices and put together a hearty collection through ebay. Some of my pieces have even made it into the quintessential collection at miniorgan.com! I used these toys as well as other more professional devices to put together music that I considered funky electro ( Think Kraftwerk, Devo, Thomas Dolby, Yello, etc.). Suddenly painting took over about 5 years ago and the music making was put aside, but I recently made a final push and released my first album. Ten years in the making! The album is called Automation Addiction and can be purchased through itunes, amazon, beatport, etc.

Here is a list of equipment I used on the album:
Muson Synthesizer
Remco Sound fx machine
Bee Gees Rhythm Machine
General Electric Tote-a-tune
Texas Instruments Speak & Music
Mattel Electronic Connection
Panasonic r-1088
Tyco Hotkeyz
Waddingtons Compute-A-Tune
Science Fair Electronic Organ Kit
