"A very old (1966ish) Moog modular that my friend is restoring. I'm not a huge fan of Moogs in general , but i like the way the old oscillators sound :)"

"wonderful day": improvisation by TSF

YouTube via TheSynthFreq
"Hi. This is a new improvised composition written on the Roland D-50 and Roland Alpha Juno-1. 03-24-10.
The Alpha Juno-1 patch has a slight distortion to it due to the amp/computer connection. I tried to resolve this with taking down the lower frequencies and EQ'ing it to death and still can't avoid the unwanted distortion in the Juno's line. It might be easier to listen to it at a lower volume. :)
Please enjoy!
:) TSF"

Modded Rick Wakeman Signed 1972 Minimoog

via this auction

"This is an auction for a nearly 40 year old classic synthesizer, the original Minimoog. This one was built in 1972. It is a working machine which has recorded and been studio based for the past 5 years. The metal rear cover is signed by synthesizer legend Rick Wakeman the synth was probably built while he was recording "Close To The Edge"- (photographic proof of signing provided)

The serial number is 2469, and the circuit board is the rich and creamy second revision. The tuning has been stabilised so that hassle free playing can be done after a 15 minute warm up. The S-Trig (CV) has been replaced by a 1/4 inch mono jack. The CV inputs have been modded to allow easier control using a Midi to CV converter. Way back in time the PITCH wheel was replaced by a genuine MOOG mini ribbon controller, making this machine somewhat rare. The Keyboard is the original. The case is in good condition, has been repolished and has a brand new Minimoog badge."

Yamaha DX5

via this auction

"Wiki: 'The Yamaha DX5 is a synthesizer released by Yamaha in 1985. It was similar to the Yamaha DX1 but was more affordable. The Yamaha DX5 contains two Yamaha DX7 synthesizer engines with a larger backlight LCD display, a 76-key synth-action keyboard and better output converters, with XLR output jacks.'

*Please note that there's a few issues with VSE's listing; The DX5 DOES send 127 velocity, it just requires lots of force to do so (more than a normal keyboard). This can be altered with certain MIDI boxes and only really makes a difference if you're using this as a master keyboard. Also, I'm not sure what they're talking about with it being noiser than a DX7. This is MUCH quieter than the 3 or 4 DX7s I've played AND it has 3 XLR balanced outputs."

Meteor Table Time - Vostok & Machinedrum Stumble In the Dark

YouTube via arthurpainter
"A simple, noisy sequence with just a hint of melody (certainly the result of repetition). A bit of delay is provided via my EH Memory Man. It's a bit of a sticky plod through the Vostok's VCF and LFO #1."
