Kalimba x Moogerfoogers x Multi-Pedal

YouTube via MoogMusicInc — June 23, 2010 — "Run anything through your Moogerfoogers (even Kalimbas!) to create more dynamic soundscapes. In this video, a sample and hold waveform from the Multi-Pedal modulates the oscillator frequency of the Ring Mod while it creates aural cascades by controlling the feedback of the Analog Delay."

Early Model ARP EXPLORER1 SYNTH MK1 2900

via this auction

"974-75 ARP EXPLORER I, model#2900, first version/mark 1... I got most of my information from www.vintagesynthexplorer.com so please visit that site, however it's a rarer ARP synth, my version is earlier than the unit pictured on that great site, the info is limited so here are a few more specifics:
The ARP Explorer model 2900 has only one oscillator but same design as used in the production of the larger model 2600. The ARP Explorer has the same oscillator and controls(plus noise waveform) and effects section(plus portamento and auto-bend) used on the popular ARP LITTLE BROTHER. Unfortunately only one each 1/4 and RCA mono outputs.

The Explorer I uses the same chassis and endcaps as the PRO-SOLOIST, same 37 key keybed, Explorer has no aftertouch.

This Explorer I 2900 first version has the same panel cosmetics (gold lettering on black) and slider tip color scheme of the 1974-76 Odyssey Mk II

Combination of subtractive and semi-additive (one oscillator) synthesis with 4 pitch ranges , select one, all, or any combination. Five waveforms, select one, all, or any combination.

Pitch bend knob with 1 octave up or down keyboard range just like Mk 1&2 Odyssey.

Switchable between preset and manual mode for both ADSR section and filter section- a standard gate is the ADSR "preset", the filter is a 4-pole lowpass filter with cutoff and res.

LFO has separate level control in the upper section, and in the lower effects section, speed and vibrato depth, with vibrato delay on/off, or a single-note sample-and hold or perpetual "repeat" with "auto" or "KYBRD" modes also using the LFO speed as repeat rate.

Nice and dark sounding, warmth, and obviously a very 1970s sound."

"Wine Country has gone over this synth, and brought it to tip top condition. It has 120 programs, new key bushings, the key response is flawless. It comes with original manual and a very nice flight case."

SVSynthesis Minimoog Repair

"The revered Minimoog Model D. What can be said? Such a beautiful instrument. These were truly lovingly crafted pieces of art... The sound in according to some, incomparable to any other synthesizer. I love the intuitive layout. While it seems to be a simple and straightforward thing, there is alot of surprise and functionality hidden in the heart of this piece. This one came into the shop with some interesting things happening... The "glide" function was acting up, and the mod wheel and filter emphasis pots were toast."

MODULAR STATEMENT

YouTube via popitem — June 23, 2010 — "Some random adventure on my A100, this a 4 track piece, the main voltage modulation come from the maq 16/3, going to the black coffee and the kraftzwerg 3 osc routed separately , their main pitch are alternatively modulated by 4 different kind of lfo with the help of the 4way seq switch (at about 4 min modulation pot is set to zero), the kind of "woobling" bassline is the black coffee. On top of that their is some modulation here and there, 3 filters(mfb+plan-b m11 m12), ring mod and osc sync. /!\ Disclaimer : This is not a musical statement."

Oberheim Midi SEM analog synthesizer module v2

YouTube via kennykeyboard — June 22, 2010 — "a second, unique video of my Midi SEM [first one here]. Here I play something a little more musical. The synth is monphonic like the MoPho from Dave Smith. Tom O designed it to be almost identical to the version he had in the 1970's. There are two versions of the modern incarnation, a patchpoint module with lots of 3.5 cm jacks (eighth inch) for interfacing with analog modular equipment, and this version which allows use with computers and other midi equipped devices more readily. One note, the image of Tom Oberheim with his boxes is from AudioMidi's website. They handle the retail distribution of new SEMs in the US."
