"Here's a link to the video I made using this keyboard on 11 December 2010 called "Bass & lead sounds on the Minimoog": [above]

I've had this Minimoog since 1986, and it's been mostly in storage since the early 1990s. I took it in for servicing this year at dBm Pro Audio/Music Services (320 West 37th Street, NYC 10018). It now works perfectly and sounds great. Here's the description of what they did:

Disassembled unit and blew all dust & debris from interior. Worked hi-grade contact cleaner into all jacks, pots & switches using precision applicator. Reseated all connections to VCO/VCF PCB. Rebuilt/recalibrated main power supply. Removed all boards for complete cleaning/refurbishing of edge connectors, corrected solder joints. Removed keybed and cleaned all contacts and buss bars. Replaced incorrect key springs and re-aligned. Complete calibration including VCA, VCF, VCO and A=440 tuning standard. Cleaned in and out. Bench tested keyboard functions across the full dynamic range, and over time. Now performs perfectly to spec."

Merry Circuit Bent Christmas

"Circuit bent Casio MT-520. Added a severe cut-off filter and a minor cut-off filter and a light dependent resistor and one momentary switch to activate it. Most circuit bent stuff is heavy on the glitch side. This one is not. More mellow, for the season. Happy Holidays."
