Doepfer MS-404 MIDI/CV analogue synth

via this auction

"a manual can be found from Doepfer here. This synth can also act as a MIDI to CV convertor. There are 2 jumpers inside which alternate control of the synth from CV/Gate or MIDI, I've used it controlled from an Elektron Machinedrum and Analogue Sequencers. Currently its set to CV/Gate but its a 5min job to take the top off (5 screws) and change the J1 and J2 jumpers."

Ultimate Classic Moog Album Collection and Some Others

via these auctions

"Plugged In, Switched On! the MOOG synthesizer is featured this week. Check them all out: 26 different Moog LPs - Playing Bacharach, Playing the Beatles, Playing ABBA, playing Popcorn, Playing Bach, playing Country and Western, and always striving to "improve" on the classics. Some are pretty common, others are pretty rare, but all the epitome of good taste and artistic enlightenment such as MOOG LPs of the 70s came to represent.

"The Synthesizer Sound Machine - The Fantastic Pikes
Its incredible that all that sound comes from a machine!
That lass is rich with popcorn, and coincidentally, the song "Popcorn" features. No self respecting Moog album should be without a version of that wondorous tune.......
SONIC 9044 (Astor Goldengroove series)"

"The MOOG Strikes Bach - Hans Wurman - 1969
RCA LSC3125
Stand back as a switched-on anonymous nerd plugs-in the bewigged old masters
Thank Gott for electronic reworkings of classical favourites"
