Christmas at Bob Moog's House

Yep... Don't shoot the messenger.

via nickb2009 on this VSE post:

"We believe this may be a candidate for the worst use of a Moog Modular V "softsynth" and possibly violates Arturia's Terms & Conditions on the proper use of their software.

But imagine the scene, it's December 25th 1968 and Wendy Carlos has dropped in at Bob Moog's house with her latest album 'Switched On Christmas'." [link to blasphemy - enter at your own risk]

Cardboard Keyboard and Amp with Fotosis No. 003

YouTube via lavieenjaune.
"Here are two more devices we have just completed.

The little keyboard you see in the center is based on a simple 555 timer circuit, the keys come from a busted kids keyboard and the housing was created by laminating about thirty layers of cardboard together with glue and wood screws.

The little amp is actually three amps in one. There are three LM386 2.5 Watt circuits, one for each instrument we plan to plug into it. Each amp has its own 100mm diameter 8 Ohm 10 watt speaker. The housing was constructed using a laminate of MDF and cardboard all held together with glue and wood screws.

In this video the little keyboard was being played into another of our instruments, Fotosis No. 003. The keyboards output was fed into the ring modulator of Fotosis No. 003 and modulated with a weird bleeping carrier signal.

EMS Synthi - Battle Prestopatch

You can listen to a sample of this patch on EMS SYNTHI.

Roland JV1080 Player Organ

"This is a faux 'player' organ that contains a JV1080, and plays back classical fugue and other creepy organ pieces via midi using the awesome Cathedral patch on the 1080.. The boxes up to the left and right of the pipes contain speakers and the amp is hidden inside as well along with a subwoofer and the 1080 on a custom rack.

I built this for use in a commercial haunted house, which folded before it even opened. Their loss, my gain! I have the coolest house on the street for halloween!"

BugBrand BugCrusherMicro

" BugCrusherMicro
Released Dec07
The new Micro squeezes the lovely sample-rate-reductions of the BugCrusher line into the most compact form yet - just 120 x 65 x 40mm (about the size of MXR pedals).

A single dial sets the Rate for sounds from fizzly-fuzz highs to distruct-o-gurgle lows. There's no need for level controls - the signal going in is neither amplified nor attenuated. The Micro works well on low level signals (such as guitar) or line level signals (perfect for mixing desk - and the output is in-phase with the input). Bypass is now done electronically (still true-bypass) with a strong stomp switch and silent operation. The Micro runs off either an internal 9v battery or standard Boss-style DC Jack.

No sound samples yet, but it has the characteristic BugCrushing sounds of previous pedals, so check mp3 examples further down the page."

"Batch of 10 released today and available through the BugShop

This is the most compact BugCrusher yet, measuring in at just 120 x 65 x 40mm (about the size of MXR pedals). Lovely Rate-Reduction sounds from fizzly highs down to gurgley lows. The Micro is happy operating with low level signals (eg guitar) or line level for desktop / mixing desk work. The redesign has eliminated the need for level controls - there's no amplification or attenuation of the input signal. Bypass is now done electronically - still true-bypass with a chunky stomp switch (but a lighter action than previous stomps) and totally silent. The Micro runs off 9v - either internal battery or Boss-style DC Jack.

The Micro costs £75 plus shipping (inc battery, instruction sheet and 3 year guarantee) Beware - this batch won't last long, but I will be making more early next year to meet demands. Hopefully this design can become a regularly stocked item."
