Plasma Synth Controller

via Hilltree on synthforum.nl
Translation in Googlish:
"Following my neon oscillator, thus generating sound through discharge.
I picked up next DIY project.

This is the synth plasma disk controller.

So I want this, or a synthesized control [filter or OSC control or input] Or will generate sounds like my neon oscillator.

Now the plan is still in the early stages, but measurements in the print and have been going around.

Now I know that the cathode? a very high voltage to slow down. So thereafter, but not measured, for damage to my meters

I have noticed that, without the glass plate to touch, if a field / stray voltage from 10 to 50 volts AC. See multimeter and duspol If I get the negative of the multimeter to earth and lay down and hold my hand, and with my other hand / finger plasma disk .. touch the multimeter 50 to 200 volts AC.

The voltage varies from bottom to top 50 volts disk drive 200 volts. The high voltages are innocent by the very low power. But ... this is my fun things to do.

Maybe I should have the edge on a metal disk or aluminum tape and affixing them to the ground / earth to make it an effect. I think that with only the finger on the plate is not enough power is generated.

Now I do not know whether you with these low ampere tensions also can control other electronics. Soon another opampje try."
Update: a little more info from Hilltree directly: "It generates an output voltage 0-10volts / 0-15 volts when put a finger on it. at the lower end...the lower voltages and the upper end the higher voltages. See it as an spacey kaosspad with spectacular lightshow ;) With the output voltages , you can control a synth / modular /pitch /whatever piece of gear that this voltages accepted."

Moogseum - Images and a Letter from Brian Kehew

via Brian Kehew of The Moog Cookbook on the new Moogseum:

"So - the announcement was made of the first museum show from the Bob Moog Foundation Archive. This is the stuff we've been sorting and cataloging over the last many months. It will be at NAMM's own museum, a perfect place, as NAMM's about making music and the instrument industry. Michelle Moog-Koussa has arranged to release the first pieces from the Archive to be seen in public; a tiny fraction of stuff was in this case at NAMM. Prototypes and production models of Bob's designs, tape masters and copies, photos, schematics, his daily notebooks; lots more will be coming. In some ways, it will be a perfect preview of the proposed Moogseum plans that were unveiled at the NAMM show as well...

The show begins in September, I know they will be having opening celebrations and almost certainly hosting concerts/talks relating to Moog history and Bob's life throughout the run of the exhibit. It should be pretty popular. Much of it will be geared to the teaching of the history and relevance of the Moog story - as they have over 100,000 students a year come through.

I know they are interested in loans of instruments than can be shown during this museum exhibit. I have already arranged for some of the main designs to be loaned, but I know they are currently lacking an original R.A.Moog theremin, certainly an important featured item. If anyone has one to loan - please contact the Moog Foundation Archive.... Other items to loan or donate would probably also be welcome, if you have anything special (signs, photos, etc). It's already an astounding collection of stuff if you're into Electronic Music; and fantastic that it's finally going to see the light of day."

Moog Little Phatty

full size

note the orage on the box matches the orange on the synth. And the curtains... and the... it's a cool shot.


"The Little Phatty is the late Bob Moog's last ingenius contribution to electronic music/the world.

I'd been researching analog synths for the past year and decided on the small but PHAT LP.

Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
