Saturday evening features multiple events including the annual Knobcon Banquet with a keynote address by guest of honor, Bill Hemsath. Enjoy cocktail music by the Knobcon Supper Club All-Stars, a classic organ, guitar, and drums trio.

Bill Hemsath, RA Moog's Chief Engineer from 1969 to 1971, gave us three fantastic things we all treasure to this day. He developed the first CV joystick, which then became pitch and mod wheels. He also had the bright idea to wire some modules together in a box with a keyboard, and the Minimoog was born.

The entertainment continues Saturday night with multiple live music events. The Knobcon Big Room - a house and techno party with projections by Lorenzo Vektor and Dennis Stein. Big Room performers include Glacial 23, Introvert, Low-Gain, Komprezzor and Oliver Dodd. If that's not your thing, head over to the International Players Club - a live music and jam session with The SynthFreq & Friends.

Knobcon ends on Sunday, September 11 at 5pm.

Call to Help the SynthFreq & MsMotif-6s

Published on Dec 18, 2015 TheSynthFreq

This one is in via Greg Cole with the approval of Crystal Morales aka MsMotif-6s. Many of you will be familiar with the SynthFreq and MsMotif-6s work over the years. If you are in a situation where you can help, please do.

"Many of you know Danielle Morales, also known as SynthFreq on Youtube. Danielle and her sister Crystal have been making fantastic synth videos and great tunes for years now, check out their work here if you haven't already 'Filtered Maze' by TSF.

They both have quite serious ongoing health problems and have been going through some very hard and frightening times lately with these and also accomodation issues and the potential need to sell off their beloved synths to try and keep their apartment. They are struggling to resolve this themselves as Danielle has had to be rushed to hospital a number of times recently.

I'm hoping people would be willing to donate a small amount to help out and make sure the synth freqs get to keep the gear which makes them so happy and a roof over their heads. Danielle also creates fantastic art, some of which is synth-related so alternatively you could help out by purchasing some of her work.

You can make a donation to her paypal address which is: Danielledell123@yahoo.com [or Crystal's here: crystalumbro@yahoo.com]

Any amount would be helpful, I'm sure. I'm hoping the community can get behind this and make sure these girls can keep their gear and keep making awesome synth videos. I'm sure we all understand what a difference creating music can make to our lives when times are tough.

On behalf of Danielle and Crystal, thankyou for your help."
