Hi,

we are going to have 3 of the old models available soon (MicroQ, Q and Q+) as well as the software bundle 'Waldorf Edition'. There will be a version 2 upgrade available later this year, including Mac/Intel compatibility and AU format)

For next year we are working on a couple of new products, at NAMM and Musikmesse we will see more.

We also have this liitle module for the CME UF series keyboards: The CME Nano module which is basically a MicroQ sounding preset synth.

My best,

Michael von Garnier

Hi,

Please can you advise what products you have for sale? I am ideally looking for a new Microwave XT but will consider others.

Many thanks,

David."

Update via Moogulator in the comments:
"it's real, I wrote something based on this info some month ago for a magazine in germany called "beat", and still there is no more info available, we have to wait for the products to come.. so this one tells no real new things.. it's also true, that the Q rack is no longer available.. (as well as the XT also) - atm we are waiting for the OS updates on XT + Q Series and new Waldorfs on NAMM"

Oakley Sound Systems: Example Modifications

Title link takes you to a list of mods on the Oakley site including the Roland SH-5, SH-101, EH Smallstone, SCI Prophet 5, Moog Rogue, Moog Minimoog, Roland TB-303, and Roland Jupiter-6 with sound samples for some.

"The SH-5 shown below was suffering from a damaged keyboard mechanism and several other faults. The customer wanted it seriously modded. The keyboard section was removed and a banana plug patch panel put in its place. A new circuit board was designed and fitted to allow for various CV and audio signals to enter and leave the SH-5. The low pass filter was modified to a Moog style ladder for a more weighty sound."

Circuit Bent Roland TR-626

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction.

Details:
"This Roland TR626 is a samples drum computer, with individual outputs and great sounds. Good for making r&b, house, techno and many other styles... But the greatest thing about it is the bends... They turn this machine into a living noise, scream, distortion, flanging, synth tones, kit changes, etc etc etc... Thoses changes in sounds, are made by a patchbox, that is connected to the TR626 by a 25 pin cable. Connecting the plugs ramdomly will surprise you (if you are into noise music).

Included in this package is the folowing;

- Roland TR626 Rythm Computer
- Roland TR626 User manual (in english only) ORIGINAL
- Bend Patchbox (modular style with plugs for banana Jacks)
- Power supply (not original but compatible with other gear)
- DB25 Parallel Cable (for connecting TR to PatchBox)
- 6 PatchCables Stackable"

Yamaha CS5 Through CS10 Sample

Via Chris Strellis:
"I connected the CS-10 Gate and CV out to the CS-5 and routed the CS-5 audio out into the external audio in of the CS-10 and played them together. Now you have an extra oscillator and filter and EG and LFO etc. You've now pretty much made a CS-15 and a bit (CS-17.5?). The CS-5 has sample and hold on an LFO which the CS-10 doesn't. Also having two independent bandpass filters in series you can get you synth to talk a bit! Here's an mp3 demo of the units in action: link (5 mins 55 secs 5.94Mbytes). I added echo and reverb and compression to the sound file" Thanks Chris! BTW, do check out strellis.com for more of Chris' work.
