"An album of music done on the rare vintage digital Synergy synthesizer... There is also a Yamaha RX11 drum machine on there. A Roland Tape echo and two Roland phase shifters were also used."

EITHER-OR Synthrotek Eurorack OR combiner Module Synth DEMO 1

Published on May 23, 2014 synthrotek·130 videos

"The Either-OR is an 8-channel switchable OR Combiner logic module. The Either-OR allows the user to switch between 2 signals per channel, or combine both of the channels for an OR logic output.

There are also 2 jumpers per channel on the back of the module that allows the user to select between a center OR combiner or a center mute function, or 'off.'

The Either-OR allows the user to combine gates, triggers and other logic signals into a single combined OR output.

There are 8 numbered rows that can be daisy-chained in order to input many multiple logic sources, resulting in complex gate or trigger outputs.

This is a passive module and thus does not need a voltage connection or power cable. The passive diodes produce a slight voltage drop between the input and the output of each channel. As a gate combiner it will combine 2 gate inputs to produce an OR function on the output. When combining CVs, the highest positive input will appear at the output with about 0.7 volts of drop.

The Combine-OR is available as a fully assembled module or in kit form. The kit can also be assembled to switch between audio signals with a center mute. To make the center position a 'mute' or 'off,' remove both jumpers from rear header pins (on each channel).

Specs:
- 14HP
- Power Consumption: 0 mA
- Module Depth (from back of front panel): 1 inch"

"Buchla Music Easel with 259r and Help from 200e"

Industrial metallic sounds. Try listening to this one without watching it with some good headphones. It's actually pretty incredible.

Bob Moog Foundation Timeline of Synthesis Tribute to Bob's Moog's 80th Birthday

Check it out here. The timeline was created by the BMF's Marc Doty pictured further below with an archival Moog Modular. You can read about the timeline and the Bob Moog Foundation's tribute to what would have been Bob Moog's 80th birthday here.

"The history of the synthesizer is a complex web of interlocking points of inspiration and innovation. As a history, the development of the synthesizer is an accretion of the work of various people over time…many pieces coming together to form a whole. As I have said elsewhere, the history of the synthesizer is an excellent example of synthesis!"

BOB MOOG'S LEGACY TALK WITH ROGER LUTHER

via The History Center:

"In honor of what would be Bob Moog's 80th birthday, The History Center in Tompkins County, in partnership with Moog Archives presents a presentation on R. A. Moog, Co. and Bob Moog's legacy, given by Moog expert Roger Luther.

Memories of Robert A. Moog, his pioneering work in Electronic Music Instrumentation, and the company he started, on what would have been his 80th birthday.

With a background in electronic music composition, Roger Luther first visited Robert Moog's company in 1971. The following year he joined the company as a synthesizer technician and tuner. He continued with the company through a series of ownerships, eventually serving as General Manager, until the business closed 22 years later.

In 1999 he established MoogArchives.com, a website about Moog's pioneering work, the R.A. Moog Company and the series of companies that evolved from that original facility..."

Apologies for not seeing and posting this one earlier. I just found out. Hopefully it will be captured for all of us who couldn't make it.
