MOOG ROGUE SN 10 87

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

"This Moog Rogue comes from a private collection of highly acclaimed NYC- based producers Sweet Rains.
100% working condition , with original manual ( hard to find these days) and incredible full blown fat real analog MOOG sound, mostly famous for its juicy leads and HUGE basses. All latest Moog models don't come even close to that sound quality and fatness. The unit has a very early serial number ( shown on pics) , and extremely nice cosmetic condition , as it was only used in the studio . All pots work fine , one slide cap slightly differs in color , please see it on the pic , but it's hardly noticeable. All keys are in like-new condition , respond well and equal in action . It's really difficult to find this unit in such conditions these days , considering its age.
Power supply has been replaced with the better one from Armin's shop . I quote the one and only Paul T. Schreiber: "Focusing on the engineering side of this: a) a power supply 'rating' of current is usually given as 80% load at 25C. For example, a 100ma rating means it will really give 80ma at 25C, and at any higher temperature, the current starts dropping (so maybe 65ma at 40C). So, WFT does '100ma' enter into it if really 80ma is the "reality". For international buyers: this is a US- standards power supply, you might need to get a transformer to make it work in EU ."

"If you would give me an hour and ask me how I'd want to spend it, talking with Paul Schreiber would be at the top of my request list. I appreciate his sense of humor, his strong feelings about thing, and his willingness to share openly about any subject that might come to mind. I also appreciate that, by having been a 'hobby' synth maker, he has always been able to stay at arm's length from the grittier side of the industry.

Some of this podcast covers similar ground to my first discussion with him (podcast 13), but as is the case with Paul, each discussion about something reveals new information. And Paul is a treasure trove of information, having been there at the crusty beginnings of the new modular revolution.

Enjoy, and let your friends know about the podcast!

Interview with Paul T Schreiber of Synthesis Technology

"Like many other electronic musicians lately I have been obsessed with my Eurorack modular. A few modules I own really stand out. Three of my favorites are from a company called Synthesis Technology. Synth-tech as people call them is Paul T. Schreiber. If you look at his resume you will see he is an experienced audio engineer. You can hear his expertise in his modules. Enjoy a one hour Wire to the Ear interview with Paul as we discuss Chris Randall, MOTM, an $18,000 home stereo, the end of Blackberry, Tandy Radio Shack, the power of digital, patents and stealing designs, Eurorack power issues, the upcoming E370 Quad Morphing VCO/E371, E102 Digital CV Processor/Quad Temporal Shifter and what would Paul eat as his death row meal.

“So a lot of people grew up drooling in music stores. I drooled in the stereo store and I wanted to have this stereo system that cost $18,000. So I told my wife…” - Paul T Schreiber

BLUE ZTVCO DRY DEMO & Surrounding Controversy

YouTube Uploaded by bluelantern320 on Jan 3, 2012

Update 10/4/2013: I heard from Ian Fritz and the controversy is over. Blue Lantern no longer offers the ZTVCO. That said, BL posts will resume.

This one, which seems to be a reoccurring theme with Blue Lantern, comes with a good dose of controversy. You might recall from a few years ago BL got into a bit of heat selling MIDIBox SIDs on eBay. MIDIBox explicitly forbids the commercial resale of MIDIBox SIDs. Blue Lantern stopped and went into producing affordable eurorack based modules and systems.

This latest controversy surrounds the source of design for the new BLUE ZTVCO. You might recall from the comments in this previous post, the design of that prototype module appeared to be a copy of Ian Fritz's Teezer (TZFM Saw VCO debuted Sep'08) design. Ian Fritz's modules are available via The Bride Chamber and Elby Designs.

In short:

1. Is the BLUE ZTVCO based on Ian Fritz's design?
2. If so, to what extent?
3. If so, is it legal?
4. If so, is it fair and does it matter?

The answer to 1 and 2 will not be known until someone gets a hand on the ZTVCO and reverse engineers it. I asked BL if he would be willing to provide the schematics to put the issue to rest and he replied no. He said people can reverse engineer it when it it's available and he is sure someone will. The answer to 3 is quite possibly so. There is currently a good thread on the subject on the electro-music.com forum here. The answer to 4 depends on you. My personal opinion is that it is not fair and it definitely does matter. Whether legal or not, I view it as stealing. These designs do not come out of thin air. They take time and talent and sometimes years to produce. You will see some insight on this in regards to Ian's Teezer design from him directly below. When someone makes their designs available, credit should be given.

The following is a response from Blue Lantern in regards to the claims made against him. The most important thing to read out of his points below is "3. This is not a clone, this vco is a beast in it's own cage."

MOTM 410

"This is my repaneled version of the Synthesis Technology MOTM 410 Triple Resonant Filter. I was asked to do this, and at first I was a bit hesitant, as I really like Paul Schreiber's original design for this and his other modules, but after some thought decided "what the heck". And so, here it is. It's basically functionally identical to the original design, with the addition of an input level switch, which was an pcb option on the original."

Bridechamber to Handle MOTM DIY

via Paul Schreiber of Synthesis Technology, aka MOTM:

"Beginning Thursday Sept. 1st, Scott Deyo of Bridechamber (www.bridechamber.com) will be taking over my 'MOTM 2.0' side of the business.

These are the 'DIY' parts: the blank pc boards, panels, rails, connector boards, etc. I will still handle the assembled module orders.

I will be transferring this inventory via Fed-Ex ground on Tuesday. It will take a few days to travel from Texas to Minnesota. Scott has the web pages ready to so 'live' on the 1st. The pricing will be *exactly* the same.

If you have a current order, or place an order by tomorrow, I will still ship it. But orders placed after this will be shipped by Bridechamber.

I will have notification on the site and on the ordering pages to redirect inquires to Bridechamber on the 1st.

There are some items that are low in inventory and Scott will not have them immediately. They are: MOTM-20 power cables, MOTM-490 DIY parts and MOTM-800 DIY parts. Also, he will have limited BR1 and BR-15 brackets until my reorder arrives in ~ 18 days. It's going to take a bit of back-and-forth to get everything accounted for and everyone happy.

Scott is doing all of us a great favor by doing this, as this will free up more time for me to address the assembled/kit backlog. Please email me if you have any worries or concerns.

follow-up to this post
"Another demo by Terry Ahrens showing laser galvos connected to a Synthesis Technology E350 Morphing Terrarium. Module info is here: http://www.analoguehaven.com/synthesi..."

via Paul Schreiber on the AH list:
"Note that when Terry mentions "..the E350 is the filter..." this is referring to what is used to drive the galvos (the E350 os a VCO in reality). Normally, envelope-detected audio is used as the "filter" and the galvos are swept by quadrature triangles (like a CRT raster sweep).

For those interested in replicating this setup: I will ask what galvos he is using and what they cost/where to buy. Note several important things:

a) in the US, this sort of laser projector CANNOT be used in public unless under very STRICT requirements.
b) professional "off the shelf" XY galvo pairs w/drive electronics and power supply can run $1500. The galvos can require 3A peak each, and the moving mass/inertia is large. The galvos are usually mounted on 1/4 in steel plates (called optical plates) and then inside a matte black steel box weighing 10kg/25lbs to keep vibration 'errors' to a minimum. The box keeps spurious laser deflections from "flying around the room" . These galvos are also very fast and very accurate: they can move to 30,000 individual positions per second (the mirrors usually have 45-55 degrees total travel) at 0.05 degree accuracy.

Thanks again to Terry Ahrens for setting this up and making the videos.

There are 4 synth tracks that are sequenced via Ableton Live. There is a
Korg Wavestation "pad", the other 3 are all MOTM voices as follows:

#1: E340 Cloud >> MOTM-440 VCF (P5 rev 2 type)
#2: E350 MT >> MOTM-480 VCF (CS-80 type)
#3: custom CS-80 VCO >> MOTM-490 Moog ladder VCF
