Excerpt from the interview:

"ASTRONAUTA - What was your favorite synthesizer in the '70s? And, looking back, what is (or remained as) your favorite synthesizer from the '70s, nowadays?

KLAUS SCHULZE - I always liked the instruments that had a special sound: the 'Minimoog' oscillators have this great deep and full tone; the 'Farfisa Syntorchester' had this 'female solo singing voice' in the higher register, at least the instrument that I owned; the Moog modular system had the wonderful sequencer; the 'Yamaha CS 80' had this and the 'EMS Synthi A' had that... I used every instrument for a certain & special part to create the sounds of my music that I needed and wanted. Also not unimportant were the effect tools and the method I made use of them: echo, repeat, flanger, phase shifter, etc. and not to forget: the recording and mixing technique: building 'rooms', left, right, back, front... (besides all the musical techniques of composing a piece of music, with intro, various parts, tension, breaks, chaos and beauty, rhythm and calmness, repetition, sounds, melodies, surprises, etc, etc, etc...)"

First patch with the ADDAC 601 Fixed Filterbank

"The modules in the video are what was used to create the patch. Braids and Morphing Terrarium fed through a modulated ADDAC 601. Output is then sent to an Echophon and Z-DSP."

Tuesday Night Live

Published on Apr 1, 2014 Mike Kiraly

"Decided to record a quick live improvisation session.This is one of the methods I use for creating sounds for new material. No pre-planning or prep work. No editing or mixing. Just turn it all on, hit record, press some buttons and twist some knobs. It never turns out perfect, but there is usually some cool bits to develop further upon later (I think the breakdown 7.30 min is worth revisiting for a new track)"

8 Minutes with an Akai AX-80

There are quite a few good demos of the AX-80 out there already. I wanted to program a few basic sounds and some unique aspects of the AX-80. Some parts I use the Beatstep sequencer, chord memory, and the Big Sky reverb."

"This Model D has the Old Oscillator Board, and it has that fat old Moog sound that is very sought after. The Pitch and Mod wheels are the older Smooth plastic kind. This Minimoog is in excellent condition and is extremely reliable. There is some wear and stable hairline cracks on the wood cabinet on the corners, see pics. The front black panels and Moog badges still have the protective manufacturer plastic attached.

The bottom says "Shiloh". From what I was told by the previous owner is that Shiloh (1989-91) was the name of the band before they changed the name to Big Mountain in 1991. Big Mountain was famous for the hit song "Baby, I love your way". I do not have any documentation to confirm that this belonged to Shiloh.

Includes a new Anvil ATA Flight Case, Model D Operation Manual, Minimoog Sound Charts (showing Moog preset examples), and (3) packets of User Sound Charts."
