MOOG System 12 Manual from 1973

images via this auction. via Bill.
"Another obscure item from the Garage Archives. The Moog company was gracious enough to send me this manual in 1973 for me to learn more about modular synthesis. It's sixteen pages, 8 1/2" x 11", and gives a good general overview of patching the modules, and the basics of subtractive synthesis. It's interesting as a historical piece, but would also be useful to anyone using the excellent Arturia Moog Modular V virtual synth."

the squarewave parade updates

Some updates from the squarewave parade: "its been a while, there has been a lot of new work in and out of the store in the past month or two. i have a few new things in there now and more on the way soon.
http://tsp.bigcartel.com/

CONSTANT - analog VCO parasite

PARADE - 6 voice squarewave parasite

the CONTUSION - bent keyboard with a shiver parasite installed.

the PARADE - 6 voice squarewave oscillator - prototype

the SLOSH PARADE - 6 voice squarewave oscillator and low pass filter - prototype

Blast Fed Disaster Joystick - digital synth / noise generator
- samples and detailed explanations of everything can be found on their pages

over the next few weeks i'm going to try to release batches of the new SLOSH BOX - ST which is a stereo variable resonate low pass filter. a batch of the new MING-MING a dual ( stereo ) version of mingrod passive analog ring modulator / octave up. as well as some more PARASITES - the CONSTANT, PARADE, and possibly some others, and as soon as i can swing it a couple more brand new regular boxes with fantastic names.
sorry for holding off on releasing the new DOWNGRADE i want to be 100% happy with it before it leaves my hands. i hope to have the first batch available in a few weeks as well. also i saved over my page on accident and lost my write up. if by some odd chance you saved it could you please send over the text. it would save me a lot of time.

GETLOFI did a little interview with me regarding the parasites. it might answer some of your questions.

there now PARASITE wiring diagrams, manuals, and a couple walk through available -

i just signed up to be one of the sponsors of the Circuit Bending Challenge hosted by GETLOFI and Create Digital Music - the winner gets a PARADE ( 6 voice osc ) parasite and a hand full of stickers and buttons from me. Rodney from Tiger Claw Records is throwing in some CDs, a shirt and stickers. FutureKomp is putting in a stack of CDs and i’m sure there will be more great gifts from the others as well. so read the directions and clear your sunday schedule.

i started a little mailing list for people to post their latest experiment electronics escapades called TRY http://la-ac.com/mailman/listinfo/try_la-ac.com its quiet right now but as soon as you subscribe and start telling people what you are up to i'm sure it will get interesting.
- more soon"

Doepfer A-100 Taurus Bass - Live Sampler patch

La séquence a été jouée “live” sur un P3 Sequentix . The sequence was performed live on a P3 Sequentix. L’échantillonage a été effectué sur 3 niveaux de vélocité modulant la fréquence du filtre à l’aide du logiciel AutoSampler et d’une interface RME FireFace 400 .

Roland Saturn SA-09

Two images sent my way via LDT.

I'm curious how different these are to the organ section of RS-09. The SA-09 is an organ synth, the RS-09, organ and strings.

Innovative Synthesis - Introduction to Vocoders

"Vocoders are an instantly recognizable synthesizer sound, having been used in popular music since the 1960s. They allow you to ‘talk like a robot’, which while fun, is often not musically useful. However, used properly within a song they can work well, and add a (now rather retro) techno-effect to a piece of music. So how does it all work?"
