Details
"VARIABLE Hi-CUT and LO-CUT RACKMOUNT FILTER. It is hard to find much info out there about these, but I did see that recording artist John Vanderslice mentioned incorporating a similar, less feature packed Allison Labs filter into his recording setup. This is a passive unit, requiring no power cord, and all connections and controls are positioned around front. This unit IS VERY HEAVY, and VERY STURDY- extremely well made."

Cool Synth Solo

via Bitexion on this VSE thread:

"Check this out, it's from a DVD of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow from 1984. They had a true virtuoso keyboardist. Check out his part of the stage.

And the solo [mp3]

I don't know what the two synths below the Memorymoog on the left are (there are more closeups of the MM during the clip).

Here's a breakdown of the solo since you can't see it. The pipe organ is the EMU Emulator, very good pipe organ sound. He uses both hands all the time like a true keyboardist. On the funny classical part he triggers a MIDI sequencer that sequences the bassline and chords from the Oberheim, and play the lead lines on the Hammond and the mystery synth below the big Memorymoog with each hand. The drum bit is a drum machine I believe, and the beow beow beow bass sound is also sequenced.

Onto the massive Taurus/Minimoog part..He steps on the Taurus, plays the crazy guitarlike solo on the Minimoog (truly raping the keyboard) and the strings bit again on the mystery synth. Maybe it's a strings synth. I love the way he uses delay as a second instrument, bouncing off it. Makes the Minimoog sound like an electric guitar in the Jan Hammer style. I think there is some distortion on the Mini aswell? He also uses portamento heavily in the last part. And we even enter FM territory (audio rate modulation of the filter) at the end.

On the final explosion he jumps around and bangs the Memorymoog. I have tried to play off the delay the way he does, and it's not an easy thing. You need 100% steady timing or the entire thing is thrown off track."
