Train Station Girl with Moog Mother 32

Published on Feb 29, 2016 Helium Road

"It's been a while since I've published a video. I have a new computer and new video software to learn how to use. But I finally got my first Moog synthesizer and it's a wonderful machine. Everything you hear in this short track was made using only the M32, either by sequencing or by manual playing. I hope you enjoy this sampling of what it can do.

All sounds created using a Moog Mother 32 synthesizer played into a Korg Sound-on-Sound handheld multitrack recorder, with reverb added during recording.

"Crooked Teeth" Cover ♬ Death Cab for Cutie on Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 #TTNM

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's another Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 groovebox song-mode thing. A weird synth cover of Death Cab for Cutie's 'Crooked Teeth'. Some liberties were taken ;-P
All sounds created and sequenced on the LD3. Voice recorded separately and mixed and processed on a Zoom R16."

Fell in Love with a Girl / The White Stripes / Covered with Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 #TTNM


"Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 synthesizer covers The White Stripe's 'Fell in Love with a Girl'. This has been a favorite song of mine, ever since I learned power chords on my Squier electric guitar. I'm way past that though and just let synths play for me nowadays. Well ... after I program those songs manually into their memory for hours on end ... although with the Little deFormer 3's "song mode" it's actually fun and even a zen-like experience ;-P

All sounds made on the LD3. Voice sampled and sequenced and then deFormed with onboard FX."

Published on May 17, 2014 Daniel Vince·6 videos

Something for your next synth meet. You can sit on the little stool and tweak away for people.

"Getting presents and presents for the little princesses in your home is always such a complicated task, specifically being a papa like me. Their little minds are always packed with imagination and curiosity, and they request even more every year, it is definitely not a simple job to discover something that will cheer them up.

We have actually uncovered this remarkable Princess Girl Voice Synthesizer orgasm Toy Keyboard Play Set. The instrument has a 37 Secret Piano and included a Microphone in addition to bundled with a Stool. This is a complete highlighted Piano and the Microphone allows the Princesses to sing along while playing, isn't really that cool?

What's excellent is that both playing and singing can be tape-recorded. The girls can listen through how they sound and exactly how they can do much better. They can repeat their tunes for you when you are back house. There are also various sound effects available on the Synthesizers that they can blend into the music and have fun!

Wouldn't this be a terrific present for your little women? Check it out by clicking this Link today!"

Sound on Sound Buchla 200e Review Online

you can find the review here.

"Despite the success of Hollywood, some icons never cross the Atlantic successfully from West to East. Say 'Babe Ruth' to the average Brit, and you'll conjure an image of a small girl too young to play ball games. Likewise, say 'Don Buchla' in the UK, and you'll probably be asked whether he was a character in The Godfather. Strangely, that description is not as far from the truth as you might imagine. In the USA, there are three 'godfathers' of synthesis: Alan Pearlman, Bob Moog, and — largely unknown in the Auld Country — Donald Buchla.

Buchla was a contemporary of Moog, and like Dr Robert, he produced his first synthesizers in the 1960s. He continued to do so throughout the '70s and '80s (see the box on the history of Buchla & Associates overleaf), but the commercial acclaim and recognition afforded to Moog eluded Buchla, and he concentrated on controllers in the '90s. By the early years of this century, he had slipped into the backwaters of the music industry, but in 2002, he decided to reinvent his most successful synthesizer, the Series 200 from the early '70s, bringing it up to date while retaining as much backwards compatibility as possible. Three years later, the result has arrived. It's a feature-packed synthesizer with a staggeringly huge price tag (see the final page of this article). It's the Buchla 200e." Note the printed review was from 2005.

Update via Wavedform in the comments: "The SOS review seems like Gordon Reid really wanted to review a different system, and not the system as it was.

The Keyboard review was a little more even-handed, I thought."

Yamaha DX7 Sighting in Monsters vs. Aliens

via Scott Metzger via Yamaha
Spoiler Alert: do not read the following if you want to be surprised watching the film. Just know a DX7 is in it.
"— Animated President Tries to Woo Aliens by Performing Clichéd Alien Tunes —
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 31, 2009) — Movie goers who take in DreamWorks Animation's latest blockbuster Monsters vs. Aliens are treated to a Yamaha sighting of the now extinct DX7 synthesizer. YCAA, Inc. began working with Dreamworks in 2007 to fulfill the company's vision of animating the prized synthesizer for a specific scene.

In a rather comical attempt to make peace with the aliens aboard a UFO that has landed in the United States, an animated President (Stephen Colbert) performs the familiar alien melody from Close Encounter of the Third Kind. When that doesn't seem to be working, he breaks into "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop, and he plays both on none other than the Yamaha DX7.

The DX7 was one of the most popular digital synthesizers ever created, manufactured from 1983 to 1986. The DX7 family remains popular to this day with many recording and performing artists. It has been used by Stevie Wonder, Depeche Mode, Babyface, U2, The Cure, Elton John, Toto, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Beastie Boys, Herbie Hancock, Queen, Talking Heads, and more, and now, the President.

Monsters vs. Aliens revolves around a California girl named Susan Murphy who is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day and mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus.

Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

The animated adventure dominated the weekend box office, pulling in a record-breaking $33 million on 3-D screens and a total $59.3 million in the United States and Canada.

Monsters Vs Aliens Awesome President

The girl from Ipaneama - Hohner MEG synthesizer

Published on Jun 23, 2018 Kimengumi fr

Anyone know if these are fully programmable, or are they essentially preset only?

"Played with a Hohner µ studio µ30 (from ~1986) .
Same style as the Hohner Compagnon HK5000.
MEG is a French synthesis system from 1980's

The digital piano is only used as master keyboard.
Sound directly recorded from the synth, no effects added."

There's a different keyboard Hohner MEG posted here.

Update via swissdoc:

"According to info from https://fr.audiofanzine.com

"It seems that this machine is the expander version of the Hohner Companion HK 5000 digital synthesizer released only 500 copies around 1986.

It would be a workstation acting as a drum machine, polyphonic synth and sequencer, with supreme luxury, a memory cartridge stuck in the middle of the control panel.

There are 3 MIDI jacks, and several outputs 6.35 jack separated.

Besides the fact that it was made in France Semur En Auxois (yes Madam!), The other feature of this device is the use of digital synthesis variable speed also called synthesis MEG invented by the French engineer Christian Deforeit of which Hohner had bought the patents.

Regarding the sound and interest of the thing, I do not know, mine is out of order, but it remains a collector's item given the few copies produced."

When you check out the picutres, you will see, that is has 8 Filter boards, most likely analog. One screen shows the sound architecture, so 2x DCO, 3x Wave and 1x VCF. A second screen shows the envelope editor. The keyboard version has some "Custom" buttons. I miss to find any dedicated edit buttons, but based on the screen content, I assume the sounds could be edited. At least modified and new stuff could be loaded from cartridge most likely.

Looks to be a hybrid approach then, maybe similar to some of the Wersi stuff (Stageperformer and the related organs and rack units).

Just some educated guessing :-)"

And so it begins... This was kind of fun and funny towards the end. I love it when the girl says it sounds like electricity. Smart.

"Our Elementary Parents have been invited to share their skills & interests with the students. This is Oliver's Dad, a professional musician, sharing his synthesizer. It's really inspiring to the students to understand better WHY they work on what they do!"

"Barbie Girl" - on Roland SH-2000

YouTube via organfairy | July 21, 2010

"I don't know what is most disturbing: This version of the well known Aqua hit or the fact that I actually own a Barbie.

Anyway, this time I have experimented with some alternative light. I used one of those pinspots that has a rotating colored disc in front of the bulb.
I played the melody on the SH-2000 synthesizer and used the Technics organ for the rest of the arrangement."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s
made by Foreigner from the year 1981.

Used gear: Oberheim OB-Xa, Yamaha Reface CP, Moog Source

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you.

Bob Moog’s Birthday Garners Google Recognition and Industry Support

The Bob Moog Foundation Press Release:

"May 23, 2012 Asheville, NC-- The Bob Moog Foundation is joined by supporters worldwide in their celebration of the anniversary of the synth pioneer’s 78th birthday. Global technology leader Google released their latest doodle, an interactive, synthesizer-based, playable logo, which honors Bob Moog’s inventions. The Moog Doodle can be played using a mouse or by typing to make nearly limitless sounds. Keeping with the theme of 1960s music technology, a keyboard is patched into a 4-track tape recorder allowing the play back and sharing of songs via short links. The doodle can be viewed and played at www.google.com.

Google software engineer Joey Hurst’s plains the impetus behind the Moog doodle, "With his passion for high-tech toolmaking in the service of creativity, Bob Moog is something of a patron saint of the nerdy arts and a hero to many of us here at Google."

BMF Archive and Education Specialist Marc Doty has posted a 15 minute video demonstrating the various parameters of the doodle synthesizer. His video has over 8,000 views and has been picked up by Mashable and the Washington Post. The video can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/JFkWqi

To promote the incredible doodle tribute, the Bob Moog Foundation is hosting a contest on the home page of its website. Music fans from around the world can share their musical creations in the comments section of the blog on the home page of www.moogfoundation.org. A winner will be chosen and awarded Arturia’s Dr. Bob’s Collector’s Pack, which includes award-winning Minimoog and modular Moog software (valued at over $300).

Furthering the celebration, Moog Music, Inc. will donate 50% of all online clothing and merchandise sales on May 23rd to the Bob Moog Foundation. For every $350 raised, the company will also donate one Etherwave Theremin to the Foundation’s educational initiative, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool. This promotion includes their brand new line of product-inspired apparel boasting graphics bold enough to induce a geekfest for synth enthusiasts everywhere. Moog instruments are not included in the annual event.

Moog Music clothing and merchandise can be purchased from the company’s online store: www.moogmusic.com/products/clothing and www.moogmusic.com/merch.

Spectrasonics, creators of the much heralded Omnisphere “soft-synth” and creators of the Bob Moog Tribute Library, have added to the already robust library of 700 sounds another 78 in recognition of Bob’s birthday. Spectrasonics continues to be one of the Foundation’s greatest contributors to continuing the legacy. Visit http://www.spectrasonics.net/products/tribute/ for more information about the BMF Tribute Library.

In the realm of esoteric electronics, starting on May 23rd Hollow Sun Records and electronica maverick Atomic Shadow are donating proceeds from the Shadow’s first two albums to the Bob Moog Foundation. This tribute honors the coincidence that Atomic Shadow and Bob Moog share a birth date and a passion for innovation and music. The albums can be purchased at the discounted price of £3 for a limited time at http://www.hollowsunrecords.co.uk.

Early Girl Eatery in Asheville, North Carolina, where Moog often ate lunch, is hosting the Bob Moog Birthday Salute, honoring its hometown innovator by donating 20% of their total sales from May 23 to The Bob Moog Foundation. The restaurant is open from 7:30am-9:00pm. www.earlygirleatery.com. Marc Doty will perform three sets of live music throughout the day. Anyone who donates $1 or more to the Foundation while at the restaurant will be entered in a raffle to win various Moog-inspired items."

Serge1973VCF Demo

Published on Jul 9, 2014 davidryle

"A MOTM format build of the famous Serge 1973 VCF. This is a Ken Stone pcb from Cat Girl Synth and is numbered CGS77.

The additions are the Hi and Lo Q resonance settings and a "low frequency" mode for slew of control voltages (DC).

The panel graphic maintains the Serge philosophy with a printed paper laminate on a metal panel. The obvious difference is the MOTM (Synthesis Technology) format.

This demo only demonstrates the 2 pole -12dB Low Pass mode. The filter also has a -6dB band pass and -12dB high pass mode which are very nice as well.

There are some background voices which I decided to include for temporal flavor. Everything is from the modular synthesizer except the echo delays which are a Lexicon and T.C. Electronic rack units after the modular.

Thanks to Ken Stone at CGS

MGMT - Kids short cover on Alesis Ion synthesizer

"me trying to recreate some of the sounds from "Kids" by MGMT. this is one take, the drums are from Reason and the rest is all from the Ion.

A few mistakes but i find it hard to multitask... bass, lead, keyboard and foot pedal are too many things for me to do at once :P

fairly short - i was going to record the entire song but thought....if i'm not singing on it, there's no point really, as the background music is fairly repetitive. maybe if i can find someone with a decent voice we can cover it properly?

the audio is straight from my digicam. i recorded the audio in this on the PC but the volume was messed up, and it sounds alright from the camera anyway."

And the original track (note this is not the official video, see below):

Lyrics: You were a child, Crawling on your knees toward it, Making momma so proud, But your voice is too loud, We like to watch you laughing, You pick the insects off plants, No time to think of consequences [Chorus: Control yourself, Take only what you need from it/him, A family of trees wanted, To be haunted] The water is warm, But it’s sending me shivers, A baby is born, Crying out for attention, The memories fade, Like looking through a fogged mirror, Decision to decisions are made, And not bought, But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot. I guess not.

About Abby and Rafael: www.myspace.com/abrafever
Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line.
The story goes like this: December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn't want to shave so I didn't push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I've done so far.
January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on Youtube just for kicks.
April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel.
May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends."

Anyone know what synths they use? The top one in the pic looks a bit like a KORG Poly-800.
