"Handmade Analog Synth in a Jar - #03 in series
by Kyle Evans - yaktronix.com

This circuit bent sounding analog synth is ideal for live performance or studio recording. The unique enclosure and its response to light make it a fun and performative instrument to play. Plug it straight into your amp or plug it into a chain of effects pedals for even more potential. Using it with a flashlight or strobe light in a dark environment also make for awesome visuals because of the refracting light off the glass and the blue colored LED. Check out the video below for an example of some of what it can do!

Hand signed and numbered (#03) on the bottom by the artist
3 light sensors inside the jar control FM modulation
One knob on top to adjust fundamental oscillator frequency
External battery snap for easy connection (battery not included)
1/4" jack to plug it into your guitar amp, mixer, etc.
Power switch"

"Complete with barking dogs and a bit of distorted audio when I talk. Sorry the audio is a touch wonky on this. I would have redone this, but I didn't get a chance to check what I'd done till I got home from STG soundlabs and wanted to still share this as this filter doesn't have too many videos and it's an amazing beast."

It's is in excellent condition but needs to be serviced. It turns on and the pads play but it does not sequence at the moment. I would recommend a service and update overhaul at Forat Electronics. I have an ATA flight case that needs to re-foamed, which I can take care of if needed. I prefer local pickup as shipping this delicate unit can be risky.

Bottom: "Simeon Coxe of Silver Apples"

Description for the set:
"On March 30th, 2013, Cornell University and The Fanclub Collective sponsored a day-long electronic music workshop. It included a panel discussion with Professor Trevor Pinch, Malcolm Cecil, Simeon Coxe and Jeff Perkins (a veteran light-show producer) and a hands-on DIY synth-circuit-building workshop. The final events were performances, first by regional acts (First Atomic Lunar, members of Atomic Forces & First North American Lunar), 100% BLAKK), then by Ithaca synth ensemble Electric Golem (Trevor Pinch and James Spitznagel). Malcolm Cecil and his vintage mega-synth, TONTO (that's "The Original New Timbral Orchestra") played an incredible set, as did half of the sixties electro-rock duo Silver Apples, Simeon Coxe.

I would highly recommend any of these acts' recordings!

Moog to Re-Release Vintage "The Phone Controller" CV Edition

Not to be outdone by Korg's reissue of the KORG MS20 Mini, Moog is bringing back "ThePhoneController" pictured here in its vintage retro glory.  The kicker? They are adding CV so you can control your modular gear with that old rolodex.

You'll find an exclusive one hour long video of "IT" in action here.

From a previous post:

"Its a little tough to describe what this is. It kind of works as an electronic Rolodex with up to thirty phone numbers capable of being stored in it. You can see what other functions it has on the front. Obviously your iPhone is capable of doing much more than this, so this is probably more of a museum piece or a nice find for a Moog collector."

Museum piece? Not with added CV! Take that iPhone!
