Minimoog Serial #1001

There are actually two of them. :) One at the Eboard Museum and one at the Audities Foundation. There is a reason for this.

see Sequence 15 for more.

MOTM-190


via this auction

"The MOTM-190 is a dual VCA in a compact 1U format. VCA #1 can also be used as a Ring Modulator.

Voltage Controlled Amplifier #1 - Ring Mod
The top knob (marked BLEND) and switch (marked V and R) control VCA #1. If the switch is in the 'V' position, the circuit is a linear VCA. The BLEND control acts as an Initial Gain control, normalized to unity. If BLEND is all the way to the left (the IN position), the gain is unity ('1') and there is no modulation (the output equals the input). As the BLEND knob is turned clockwise, more and more of the CV modulates the signal. Fully clockwise (the RM position), the CV changes the gain from 0 to 1. This is 'standard' VCA operation.

If the switch is in the 'R' position, the circuit is a Ring Modulator. The BLEND control acts the same way as a Yamaha CS-80: all the way to the left, the output = the input. As BLEND is turned to the 'RM' position, the depth of the Ring Mod effect increases.

Voltage Controlled Amplifier #2
The second VCA is switchable between Linear and Exponential responses. The GAIN control sets the initial gain from 0 to 1. The CV MOD control ajusts the depth of AM for the VCA (in normal operation, the GAIN is set to '0' and the CV MOD is set to '10').
Although 'micro' in size, the MOTM-190 is a low-noise, low distortion, high dynamic range (better than 100dB) dual VCA. The Ring Modulator BLEND control is not found on any other modular.

Vermona DRM1 mkiii Stereo Test


YouTube via zibbybone
"I just purchased this used DRM1, but only half of the drums seem to pan correctly. Also, the clap output is very low. Is that common with this machine? BTW, drums are being controlled by TR-909 external instrument mode."

after party


YouTube via vonhaulshoven. Note the two Yamaha AN1Xs. The AN1X was one of the first virtual analogs release shortly after the Clavia Nord Lead. It actual does a good job at covering the Yamaha CS series. Be sure to see these videos for more vonhaulshoven.
