mok's space on twango

Title link takes you to mok's space on twango. You'll find a number of audio demos showcasing the Multimoog, PEK, and XBase09SE. Be sure to check out Song For Duets. I particularly like that one. And there's more to come:

"Hi, it's Mark (cutandcover at nyc.rr.com) from the AH list - just wanted to say thanks again for steering me onto this site. I found your spot, so I'm sending you a link to mine - I've been putting just some demo-y type stuff up here quietly... hope you find something fun. And I just found the channel podcast link, which totally makes this site. Anyway, enjoy..."

AH Bay Area Gathering 2006

One week to go folks. If you are in the area, check this out:

"In addition to the usual Bay Area synth head suspects our confirmed special guests are David Smith (DSI) , Eric Barbour (Metasonix), Peter Grenader of Plan B, Robotspeak of SF, and Barbara Golden (local electronic music radio host). Other local luminaries ave been invited and may bless us with their presence

We are also having a raffle to benefit the Moog Foundation. Michelle Moog-Koussa (Bob Moog's daughter) is the exec director of the foundation and she is providing some Moog promo goodies for the raffle."

Wish I could be going to that, but times are tight, the budget is locked, and my wife and kid would kill me. : ) But don't worry, there will be plenty of shots I'm sure. Brian Comnes, who contributes a bit to this site, will be attending and taking shots. It's worth noting he is the man behind this year's event.

Poylyphatty?

Title link takes you to a fun post on Music Thing, speculating a polyphonic Little Phatty at Winter's NAMM. Hmm... Is he really just guessing or does Tom have himself a source? Image of course is Photoshopped.

My take?
They should come out with a cheap knobless rack that you can slave to your Little Phatty or Voyager. As for Mood modular? The audience would be too small, but they should come out with more Moogerfoogers to finish the set. All they need at this point is a good dual Oscillator based Moogerfooger and Envelopes. We have Ring mod, filter, delay, phaser and MURF already, so why not finish the set.

There's also a Little Phatty rack to consider. They did it with the Voyager.

fdiskc

Title link takes you to the fdiskc synthesizer gallery page. I've referenced fdiskc a few times, but realize I never put up a post specifically on fdiskc itself. fdiskc is Brandon Daniel's site. Title link takes you the gallery where I found this shot of the ARP 2500. Be sure to check out the root of the site after the gallery for more.

Type U73

via this auction:

"You are looking at a new TYPE-U73 synthesizer hand wired (in limited quantities) by MONOTONIC LABS with a 90 day factory warranty for parts and labor. Please read everything and ask all questions before buying.

The U73 is a new tool for experimental sound synthesis. The output is line level quarter inch mono, and all of the sound parameters are controlled through 2 knobs. The U73 does not have an input. Each knob effects the sound in multiple ways and has various results depending on where the other knob is positioned. The Type-U73 synthesizer creates low frequency sweeps, areggiated stepped tones, feedback, thermin effects, as well as many other indescribable noises. You'll be amazed at the surprising number of sounds capable from only 2 knobs! Feed it to other effects and stomp boxes and the possibilities grow exponentially. Usually with delay and (insert your favorite effect here) you can't go wrong. A must for any experimental musician! Great for adding interesting background noises or transitions between songs live or in the studio.
