Modular + MG1 + Juno 60
YouTube Published on May 11, 2012 by condit79
"Never mind that the color constantly shifts on this. Here we have a 5u/dotcom/stg soundlabs system making an evolving drone (infused with lfos from a moogerfooger ringmodulator), with a Juno arpeggiator creating a rhythmic feel and the bass/lead played on an MG-1. Not complicated, just a bit of Friday night fun as I'm way too tired to do anything else."

Roland Juno 6 Demo
YouTube Published on May 11, 2012 by bcastromusic
"Select 720p/1080p HD for best sound quality.
The Juno 6/60 is a popular synth that is the subject of a lot of discussion, and much of it is negative. I am a huge fan of the Juno 6/60 and think it gets and unfair amount of criticism, primarily behind the veil of the internet. This demo showcases its amazing sound and some of it's capabilities.

Xplorer Windows Editor for the Oberheim Matrix-12 & Xpander
"Xplorer is a real-time and bi-directional software editor for the Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander synthesizers.
Xplorer is not just another generic synthesizer editor with ranges of slider controls that are all the same and don’t really tell you what you are doing.
Xplorer was developed by an Xpander owner for use by Xpander and Matrix-12 owners. With Xplorer you quickly get an overview of all parameters of a single patch, including an overview of the Modulation Matrix."
Hohner Multimonica I - Vacuum tube synthesizer of the 1950s
YouTube Published on May 11, 2012 by MonoThyratron
English abstract (German below):
"The "Hohner Multimonica" is a combined double-manual keyboard instrument consisting of a monophonic synthesizer (sawtooth oscillator, vacuum tube technology) and a polyphonic harmonium with fan-driven reeds. This electro-acoustic musical instrument comes from the German postwar era. It was produced in two main variants ("Multimonica I" later "Multimonica II"). The "Multimonica I" even had a built-in AM radio for local station reception. But there was also a version available without radio.
The first appearance of the Multimonica is falsely dated to 1940. Some may even date it back to the prewar era. But its tube technology suggests that this musical instrument came into trade in the early 1950s. The short newsreel report from 1952 in this video supports this fact.
Hohner modeled its musical instrument after an electro-acoustic instrument by the German company "Siegfried Mager & Co." and the harmonium manufacturer Johannes Straube ("Mager-Straube-Kleinorgel"). German engineer Harald Bode (*1909 †1987) was incorrectly assigned to the construction of this musical instrument."

MOOG SONIC SIX DUOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER W/ DUAL LFOs
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Pics of the inside below.
"The Moog Sonic Six is a 49 keys Duophonic Analog Synthesizer that features:
- Two VCOs with a balance pot between both oscillators, each oscillator has sawtooth, triangle, square/pulse waveforms (square wave pulse quality knobs for each oscillator), - 2 to + 2 octaves switches for both oscillator as well & besides being a 49 key duophonic synth, tone oscillator "B" can be tuned to concert tuning automatic by switch, pitch control inputs for modulation of oscillator by either LFOs or contour - Oscillator "B" Controlled By "A", can be high note priority, low note priority or both fully diatonic on duophonic mode... Pretty Neat Feature..!!!
- X 2 Multimode LFOs with 4 different waveforms per LFO, features a master balance pot for both LFOs & both come with switches to be used either individually contoured or mixed along with the master rate slider pot to create the most complex modulating effects... No other synth has this feature I think...
- Ring Mod Section with different modulating input sources either by mix of Oscillator "A" & "B", Oscillator "A" by External Source, Oscillator "B" by LFOs. Amazing textures can be obtained...
- Noise Source (White/Pink)
- Source Mixer Section with individual volume control pots for Oscillators A/B, Ring Mod, External Input & Noise Source...
- VCA Section with articulator switch to either engage or bypass, envelope type switches to either ADSR or ADR and pots to adjust the attack and decay... 3 individual trigger envelope inputs from either keyboard, LFO 1 or LFO 2.
- Direct Output Mixer Section for Oscillator A, B , Ringmodulator..)
- A True Low Pass Ladder (Butterworth) Type Filter with a wide frequency range specially after calibration upgrades done to it. Also with contour switch and modulation by LFO's switch + filter keyboard follow switch.
- Headphone Jack.
- Internal Speaker Switch.
- External Monitor Output Jack with Individual Switch as well.
- External input Jack & Pot to regulate the input amount.
- Accessory Socket 15 volt to use with any of the Moog Accessory Items like (Drum Controller, Ribbon Controller, Sample-Hold Controller, Etc.)
- External CV Inputs to control of Oscillators, Filter, Volume Control.
- Glissando
- Pitch Bender ( Upgraded..)
- Etc, Etc, Etc...
INFO ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT AND WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO IT...
This Particular Moog Sonic Six is version 3 - Rev. "E"... So basically this is one of the later ones in production with many fixes and upgrades the previous versions & revisions didn't have... And well let's just say that everything in there has been worked on electronically, mechanically & electro-mechanically as well, here are the details on what's been done to it.
THE WORK DONE TO IT:
- The whole keyboard assembly has been meticulously worked part by part, the keys are brand new (all new & shinny), new bushings (lubricated as well), new gold platted buss bar, j-wires have been taken out one by one and polished/straightened & replaced, key holder caps cleaned, aligned the keyboard bed from all angles, etc, etc...
- Upgraded Pitch Bend Assembly Mod (Tight As Virgins...)
- All Electrolytic Capacitors Changed For High Grade Hand Picked Tested Ones.
- All Potentiometers Opened, Cleaned & Lubed Including Slider Pots & Switches. ( A Long Job Right There...)
- All Solder Joints Redone For Better Conductivity.
- All wiring harness through out the synths has been rearranged and organized properly for better aesthetics.
- All 1/4 Jacks Changed To New Ones.
- 6 Pin Cinch Jones Connector Changed As Well.
- All terminal connections cleaned, polished, reassembled & re-soldered properly to avoid noisy signal & weak connections.
- All precision resistor chain in keyboard tested and changed when needed.
- Precision resistors 1% tolerance added where needed for more stability in some sections in the circuit boards.
- Low leakage highly precise diodes where added where needed including better diodes for the power supply.
- Many other upgrades where made inside the circuit boards all done according to the last revision of the Original Moog Service Manual + Addendum Sheets and let me tell you no other Sonic Six has ever sounded as sweet musically, full in character and stable as this one...
- Unit has been properly calibrated & tuned to factory specifications so this synth is working A1.
This synth has a rich thick Butterworth Low Pass Ladder Type Filter that everybody raves about & it's why people love the sound of this synth... It's A Beast..!!!"
