Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002+

via this auction

"8 individual outputs, O.S. 4.0 expanded memory/ram. You can sample longer on this one than any other 2000/2002 version. the latest os fixed some bugs, too. This particular machine shines at making really cool synthesized samples, or basically turning your samples/ sampled in material into synthesized chords, basses, efx, etc.... not as punchy as Akai, but very warm and fuzzy and with that lofi crunch."

Not the best shots, but some of the inside. This one ended at $386.50. via brian c

"Here's a demo of the synthesizer I built at the Machine Project learn to solder class. The class was great, and I can't wait to do more tinkering. It makes such a lovely sound, don't you think?"

Sugar Bytes WOW Filter Demonstration

YouTube via gearwire
"Aside from it's definition as an astonished interjection, the word "wow" can also mean: "slow variation in the pitch of a sound reproduction resulting from variations in the speed of the recording or reproducing equipment." We wonder if Sugar Bytes knew that when creating their WOW Filter plugin.

Bill Holland checks this plugin out to see if the product's own name can predict his response to the fluctuating filter sounds.

See more on Gearwire.com."

Chroma front panels

via ron on the Rhodes Chroma list (User Group):

"I've been meaning to send Chris this photo for a while to include on the site. It shows 3 out of 4 membrane panels for the Chroma. The only one missing is the main production panel produced after the first 50 went out. AFAIK the only difference between the first 50 and the main run was parameter #2. Poly/Mono on the first 50, FSW(?) on the main run."


The bottom shot is a bit blurry. Hopefully a sharper image will come in.

La Invención del Sintetizador Moog

"Al igual q el del Mixer de Sun Records, este video también es de "Objetos Perdidos.." del History Channel. Aquí se muestra, mediante entrevistas a sus inventores, el proceso creativo de uno de los mas revolucionarios instrumentos musicales.

Aunque dudo de la veracidad de que los Beatles hayan usado uno, y al mediocre sonido del video; es muy interesante y entretenido para los "tecnomúsicos"."

"As the q Mixer Sun Records, this video is from "Lost .." the History Channel.

Here is through interviews with its inventors, the creative process of one of the most revolutionary musical instruments.

Although I doubt the veracity of the Beatles have used one, and the mediocre sound of the video, it is very interesting and entertaining for "tecnomúsicos."

Minimoog Analog Synthesizer 1973

via this auction
"built in 1973, serial number 5339
Built in 1970, and released at the NAMM convention in 1971, Robert Moog’s Minimoog changed the course of electronic instruments forever. It was the very first compact and affordable synthesizer for musicians. Specifically designed for touring musicians, the Minimoog Model D synthesizer moved electronic music experiments from university labs out to the general public. Prior to the Minimoog synthesizers were huge modular designs that were expensive and built one at a time for large recording studios and electronic music labs. After the Minimoog, synthesizers were mass-produced making them much cheaper. The Minimoog was still able to recreate the thick warm sound of the large modular models and offered the most essential programming controls required for producing an endless variety of new sounds. The Minimoog Model D synthesizer is still regarded as the Rolls Royce equivalent of analog keyboard-based synthesizers. The Minimoog’s fat sound and unparalleled filters eventually became responsible for some of the best analog synth bass and lead sounds on the market. There were originally 13,000 minimoogs produced between 1970 and 1981. After a brief hiatus during the digital-synth craze in the 1980s, the minimoog enjoyed a resurgence of interest among musicians since the 1990s. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to purchase an earlier model.
