Sounds In Space

"This is a program inspired by creating some NEW Star Trek sounds for Engineering perhaps....or an adventurous new planet.

Don't hate on Trek.

Moog Voyager, Delay, Ring Modulator. I miss my sequencer, but soon we shall be reunited and in HD.

In the meantime, I'll be in the gym..."

A Tribute to Klaus Schulze pt. 1

video upload by Rhythmicons

"More to come.

Moogerfoogers at work:
The CP-251 sends noise to the 105B Bass Murf.
Delay is provided by the MF-104z.
The Freqbox provides a bass drone fed to the MF-101 Low Pass Filter.

A Synthesizers Dotcom q960 sends pitch and gate signals to a bank of Moslab 921bs. Those are then filtered by the Moslab 904b Hi Pass filter.
Later, the LFO of the CP251 modulates the rate of the sequencer."

Warm by the Analog Fire (Drone/Sequence part 2)

Published on Nov 15, 2015 Rhythmicons

"This is an extension of the other drone I did earlier today but with numerous effects, stereo processing and sequencing.

Moslab Modular
Synthesizers.com sequencer
AKG BX-10 Reverb
Moog Bass Murf
Moog 104z Delay
Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo Tape Delay

So the output was split into a few signals, one going to the murf and the moog delay. The murf is going to the board and the delay is going to the board, panned left and right.
Another signal is going to the BX-10 which is going to the board panned to the center.
The third signal is going to the RE-301 where it is affected with chorus and echo. The Chorus output is going to the board, and the delay is going to the board both panned opposites.
Delay times are all set to different rates.
There is some droning to show the characteristic of the effects and some sequencing to showcase the delays. I think there were 5 channels of the moslab going back into the board."

Big Briar (Moog) Prototype Chorus Flanger

This one spotted by Rhythmicons. Via silent_switchman on the Moog Music Forum: "Hello fellow Moogists!

I think I may have made a pretty spectacular find. I have come into possession of a little effects unit that appears to be a Moog prototype unit. It's a Chorus/Flanger effects unit. It has a handwritten label on it, describing all the functionality of the knobs. Checking against older Moog schematics/prototypes that you can find on the Bob Moog Foundation website, I am inclined to think this is the real deal. The way the unit is laid out and the handwriting sure seem consistent with some stuff up there. Of course, who knows. I plan on writing the Bob Moog Foundation and seeing what they have to say.

I've attached a few snaps here for everyone. I can't vouch too much in depth for how the thing sounds overall; when I bought it, the seller didn't have quite the right power supply - it definitely powers up and it definitely is a chorus/flange effect. I tested it on a old guitar through like a cigarette pack-style amp; not exactly the best testing unit, but I know it works. I need to get a proper 18v(!) power supply for it tomorrow. I'll record some stuff through it and post the recordings up for everyone to hear.

Now, like I say, I can't totally vouch at this point that this is the real thing, but it sure _looks_ like the real deal. What's that 'Kingdom Of South Turkey' bit on the label?? A bit of fun by Dr. Moog?

Anyway - crazy find one way or the other. Here are two snaps of the unit. One in color, and an 'artier', B&W snap.

Thanks all! I'll let you know what the Foundation folks say when I get in touch with them. Cheers!"

Update: this is most likely real. silent_switchman if you read this, contact me for more info. If anyone is on the Moog Forum, ask silent_switchman to contact me.

Update: via Michelle Moog-Koussa of the Bob Moog Foundation and of course Bob Moog's daughter. I wanted to get permission to post this before putting it up.

"This is, without a doubt, a prototype made by the hands of Bob Moog. The construction is one giveaway, the knobs another. For Brian [Kehew], or someone with a bit more technical understanding, perhaps the design and concept are as well. But the real clincher is the writing -- unmistakably Dad. The neat printing is part of it, but the old fashion upper case "G"s with the tails coming in at a diagonal rather than vertically seal the deal. The red arrows, with a solid head and single line is another solid indicatory that "Bob was here".

The cherry on top? Dad's ever present tongue-in-cheek -- even self-depricating -- sense of humor. We lived at the end of a long country road named South Turkey Creek in a cove called Big Briar. Better known now as the seat of Bob Moog's independent company which he ran in between Moog Music (Buffalo) and Moog Music (Asheville), Big Briar Cove was then a place of welcome isolation, quiet and peace for a man whose mind was often preoccupied with harnessing electricity and turning it into sonic capability. A hundred acres, a round house and a mountain creek provided just the balance to his daily work creating such things as Chorus Flangers, theremins and multi-touch sensitive keyboards."

Semi-Modular Moog Improvisation Parts 1 to 3

YouTube via Rhythmicons
"This is an instrumental improvisation featuring the MicroMoog, MiniMoog Voyager, CP251 Freqbox Ringmod Delay and THeremin. THe MicroMoog's audio is running through the Freqbox and Ringmod and Delay out to the PA. CP 251 is sending sample and hold to the Freqbox. The Voyager is running directly to the pa with a little reverb. The theremin is running into a Roland Cube 30 Bass amp (for delay) and to the PA. Hope you enjoy, the camera stopped the video after 29 Minutes."

Moslab 921 Waveform Clamping

"A 921 is modulating the pitch of a bank of 901abbb oscillators.
a 901 is sending pulse wave outs to the 921 V-Trig input.
The 901bs are going to a C3PO (Moog CP Clone) mixer.
The C3P0 is going to the board. No Filters or VCAs involved."

Deep Bass from the MOS-LAB Synthesizer

Published on Feb 27, 2015 Rhythmicons

"I recently acquired a 2 oscillator MOS-LAB synth voice centered around the 921ab compliment. This is just for everyone to get an idea about the power of these oscs, particularly for purposes of comparison to the recently re-released Moog System 15.

After the initial waveform analysis, I started a ubiquitous Moog style plucked bass sequence. Some noise was added for percussive effect.

Vive la France!"
