Moog "The Rogue" Monophonic Synthesizer

via this auction

"Another thing that makes this Rogue great is that somebody has already removed the dreaded "black foam" gasketing from under the keybed. Why? Moog Rogues have a common problem: The foam rubber used to dampen the keys tends to rot and melt all over the electronics. It must be removed before this happens otherwise it can cause electrical damage. It's always something to watch out for when buying a Rogue. Fortunately for you, it was removed by a previous owner of this synth. That means this Rogue will continue to go go go!

Another sweet trick with this keyboard is to use the "audio in" to bypass the keyboard and run another instrument through the Moog filter. Not many keyboards can do this. Great for guitar, bass, horns, etc!"

Theresynth™ - Light Controlled Synth

YouTube via chamberofsounds. via these auctions
"Introducing the LABOZ Theresynth™ - It's a handheld, analog synth that makes music from light. Unlike traditional instruments with strings and keys, the Theresynth™ has no boundaries - you play it in the air using light as your sound source. You'll get unlimited tones and octaves by combining the "speed" & "range" controls. The momentary trigger/on-off switch allows you to play individual notes. Then turn on one of the Magic LED Wand's 7 strobe settings for some intense oscillations, creating outerworldly sounds & new dimensions. It's perfect for dramatic, live performances, recordings or just jamming on-the-go (via the built in speaker). They're available in 5 colors (purple, red, orange, yellow and white) with your choice of white or black graphics. See more and get yours only at: chamberofsounds.com" or Ebay

Mackie Control C4 template for Waldorf Wave

via Michael on the Waldorf list:
"Hello Chaps,
We just released this template for the Wave... Why? Of course the Wave is so easy to program from its control panel... but... if you are in a DAW workflow where you'd like to automate all Wave parameters from C4 this might be of an interest to you.
Please note that you need a special version of the Wave OS that disables MIDI sysex check-sum; please contact Werner S. via the unofficial Wave website.

You have Wave C4 template screenshots plus audio demo here

Cheers,
Michael"

Note they have templates for other synths as well.

A simple arpeggiated theme

YouTube via attorks
"A simple and short arpeggiated theme this time. Only 3 keyboards are used. The Waldorf Q Keyboard plays note 4 arpeggiated chords. Halfway I use the Xphorm function to morph from one sound to another sound. The melodies are played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and the Roland XP-80."

"Hardware
There are many things I love to play, Bugbrand Weevils, MoogerFoogers, Audible Disease stuff etc... but there is one brand I really love - Crowphonics. The CR0-1 is so fun to play, it sounds awesome and it is very unpredictable (in a good way). Ibought three instantly, and now I am waiting for the new model to arrive..."

iPhone modular synth?

via the flickr comments:
"Actually, this started out as a procedural music game, but then I wanted to do just the synthesis part! Would you like to try it?"

Thailand. Anyone know where exactly this is? I did a quick search and found these images. Looks a bit like a museum or novelty shop.

"Its not pretty, but...

I wanted to make the board self supporting, so i messed about making it into a euro module. Its not glamorous, or particularly well thought out, but i think itll work (its populated now, but i dont have all the ics at present)
