Precise Model 635 Vintage Pulse Generator & Heathkit Model SG-8 vintage Signal Generator


via this auction and this auction

On the Precise Model 635:
"A.F. Sine, Square, and Pulse. SN# 2656. Vintage unit powers up but is otherwise untested; sold as-is but everything appears functional and this unit has been thoroughly cleaned."

Not synthss, but rather a cool piece of test equipment. You can see the seller's other items for more. Would make for interesting DIY cases. Thomas Dolby has been known to use similar devices [see this post].

MINIMOOG MINI-DOCUMENTARY 1970s & New Moog Legacy Site

A Brief History of the Minimoog, 1970s

YouTube Uploaded by MoogMusicInc on Apr 28, 2011

Secret to the Minimoog sound comes in after 6:10.

I'm guessing this and the new site is the huge new project from Moog.
"Follow the life of the Minimoog Synthesizer from its inception through its prolific contributions to poplular music throughout the last 4 decades.

In this first installment documenting the journey of the Minimoog synth through the 1970's, we explore the musicians and the people that were instrumental in bringing the instrument to prominence. We also sit with one of Moog Music's earliest engineers, Bill Hemsath, who recalls the process of the Minimoog's birth and sheds some light on what sets the Moog synthesizer apart from other analog synths."

Check out the new Moog Legacy Site here. The whole site appears to have gotten a facelift.

Messing with the Modcan Super Delay


flickr By parasitk

Modcan SuperDelay first ten minutes by parasitk
'I just received a Modcan SuperDelay in the mail today as part of a trade. Ten minutes after I installed it I recorded this. Just getting a feel for all the sonic options. Modulating the regeneration (feedback), delay time, trying the tracking filter on vs. off.

Starts off fully dry, then I shift the balance to fully wet. The wet/dry mix alternates variably from there.

View the pic for the basic patch.

Sound source is Modcan Dual VDO. The Modcan VCDO and Cyndustries Zeroscillator are being used as LFOs. Blacet Binary Zone provides the sequence, and Metalbox Dual AD some envelopin'."
