Triadex Muse

Update: Tom of Music Thing noticed that the details for the auction copied below are taken from his Triadex Muse post on Engadget from way back. Check it out; it's a direct copy word for word. Eeentwesting...

Cikira sent me a link to this auction. Below are all three shots and details pulled from the auction. I've never seen one with covers before. BTW, you might also remember Cikira's Aibo playing a Muse in this post. Thanks Cikira!

Details (not sure about that first sentence):
"It's probably the rarest, strangest, best-looking vintage synth ever mass-produced. At a time when Moog and ARP were selling synths the size of wardrobes that looked like lab equipment and cost tens of thousands of dollars, the Muse was the size of a typewriter. It cost $300 and looked like something Dieter Rams would have designed for Braun in the sixties.It had impeccable geek credentials. It was designed by two MIT professors, Marvin Minsky and Edward Fredkin. So what was the Muse? Well, not really a synth. It was a digital sequencer, which played melodic-sounding bleepy music through the internal speaker, based on a baffling set of algorithms. As you moved the sliders, the algorithms changed, and the music changed.The Muse even had an even rarer accessory, the ‘Light Show’, which flashed coloured lights in time to the music. Inevitably, the Muse was a commercial disaster. Only 280 units were ever manufactured.In 2004 1 of these received a bid of $1799.00 on Ebay. AOL search (TRIADEX MUSE) what I have for sale is 3 individual pcs., THE MUSE, THE LIGHT ORGAN and THE EXTERIOR AMPLIFIER, all 3 pieces have only been out of their boxes to be photographed, are these the only ones in this incredible condition? all cords are still wrapped up and all paperwork is still in the boxes, heres a chance to own the best examples of these RARE music boxes from TRIADEX. I believe this is a modest starting price for something of this caliber.Any questions please e-mail me.Buyer to pay shipping & handling USPS.Payment must be received within 10 days or item will be re-listed." This one started at $1600 US.

It is digital. More on the Muse here.

ProgSounds on YouTube

Now this is cool. Luca Capozzi of ProgSounds set up a synth specific group on YouTube. I didn't realize you could even set up groups on YouTube. He just posted the group on Synthwire. Currently there are 11 synth specific videos up. You can join and post your own, and you do NOT have to join and be a member to view the videos, so definitely check them out. Currently there are Korg MS20 and Nord Modular G2X videos up. Title link takes you there.

Korg MS20 Demos

Andre Majorel postes some MS20 samples on AH. I asked him if it would be okay to post them here. He said yes, so here it is. Thanks Andre!

"All MS-20 with no external processing other than delay and reverb.

http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/misc/telegraphiste-3.1.mp3

MS-20 + delay + reverb. It demonstrates a characteristic of the
MS-20 : because the keyboard CV out is Hz/V and the VCF Fc CV in
is V/oct, the VCF tracks the keyboard exponentially (i.e. the
cutoff frequency is too low in the bottom, too high in the top).

IIRC, resonance on both filters with Fc swept at different rates.

Assorted junk.

My MS-20 doesn't have any subboard so I guess it's a Korg35 version."
