NAMM 2016 | Moog Island Of Electronicus

via Moog Music

"The Moog booth at the 2016 Winter NAMM show celebrated the first major Moog 'Happening', The Island Of Electronicus.

Conceived and organized in the early 70's by Moog marketing guru, David Van Koevering (pictured above), The Island of Electronicus was presented as a mind-expanding series of immersive electronic events held on an island off the coast of Florida. Inspired by Van Koevering's event, the Moog Island of Electronicus encouraged visitors to 'come together in an immense creative explosion of thought & feeling.'

Special thanks to Carlos and the crew at The Echo Park Cactus Store for adorning our island with a sublime collection of entrancing desert plants, and to illustrator Kyle Platts for his ingenious Mother-32 inspired drawings.

For those of you who could not make it out to this year's NAMM show, please enjoy these photos from the event."

"This is a Moon Modular 505 VCF in self-resonance being controlled by a 569 sequencer and the passed through a Strymon BigSky 100% wet. Clock clip courtesy of www.pond5.com

I was doing some testing on the M505 and had left this patch going while I was doing other things and kind of liked it in the background so I recorded it for a while and decided to throw a few minutes of it up on YouTube for the heck of it. ;-)"

Hordijk Runglered Filters

Published on Jan 30, 2016 Todd Barton

"What I love about the Hordijk Rungler is its ability to focus on a set of constrained semi-chaotic patterns that bring life and breath to the patch. In this patch the Rungler is going to the -24db Filter for the percussive layer and also going to the Twinpeaks Filter for the S&H timbral shifts and drone. This is a self-generating patch I’m only, first fading in the percussive layer, then fading in the Twinpeaks layer. Love how the accent/rhythm patterns change so organically. Enjoy! for better audio: http://soundcloud.com/user7621213/

Audulus 2 Minute Tip - 15: Introduction to Flipflop Memory

Published on Jan 30, 2016 Bimini Road

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"This video is a primer on Flipflop Memory - flipflops are the smallest unit of memory possible - it's either a one or a zero. Each time a flipflop is pinged by the Midi button, it reverses its state (it flipflops!).

With this setup, you can change 8 different parameters on or off with just one button and one knob.

The fundamentals laid out here are necessary for understanding how to make the *very* complex sequencers and pseudo-computers that are possible within Audulus.

The 2 Minute Tip series breaks apart topics on Audulus into bite-sized chunks. I don't talk during the tutorials (though there are a few notes that pop up), and this is so that international viewers who don't understand English well don't feel left out. Familiarize yourself with the node menu and my navigation won't be so mystifying. In the future, we'll develop a finger press indicator so you can see where I'm tapping.

Yamaha Electone E75 rare synth (voice cards of CS-80 and GX-1)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Electone E 75 Bass and string sounds

Published on Feb 3, 2013 electone75

"Some bass and string sounds from the Yamaha Electone E 75. If you recognize some melody from GroBschnitt Solar Music you might be right.....
My iPhone does not manage the bass sounds correctly... The sound comes from the E 75, TM5 cabinet and also through a keyboardamplifier with an EHX Small Stone pedal."

via this auction

"This synth looks like an organ but in fact shares most of the voice cards of the Yamaha GX-1 and CS-80, which currently go for ($300,000+ and $25,000+ respectively). I have to sell this due to moving.

The Yamaha E70 is the more well known model, but the E75 adds the well-known string sounds from the CS-80. This is the only one E75 I've ever seen for sale in Australia.

The other amazing thing about this synth is the presets on all voice cards are controlled by simple resistors. To make each voice fully programmable just replace resistors with potentiometers. Here's the guide to do it.

The synth works perfectly except there is a stuck note on the foot pedals (deep bass). This can be turned off and it still played (including with bass). The stuck note is a common problem and will be a damaged diode or resistor on the bass foot pedal CV controller.

Cosmetically it's in excellent condition, with 3 blemishes shown in the pics which should be straight-forward to fix. The listing includes the foot pedals, they're just not attached at the moment (they're in the last pic)..."

Korg MiniPops Junior vintage analogue drum machine SN 740348 with Original Box

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"For sale is a wonderful vintage Korg MiniPops Junior analogue drum machine in nearly mint condition – it works perfectly, sounds absolutely awesome, and even comes in its original box! It has a punchy, warm transistor tonality with a massive hefty kick drum. There are ten onboard preset patterns, some of which are very usable indeed (the Rock, Mambo and Latin are my particular favourites); the kit pieces played in the patterns comprise Kick, Snare, Hats, and high and low percussion (kind of agogo-style).

It has a standard quarter-inch jack output so is ready to plug straight into your rig, and you could either use the patterns as-is or sample them and chop them up in your DAW (which is a great way to isolate the component kit pieces and have fun with them).

The physical condition of the machine is amazing given its age: very, very little wear is visible. The veneer is unchipped, the front fascia is bright and smooth without scratches, and the start-stop lever is intact (often these got snapped off); please take a look at the photos to see how well preserved this is for an old piece of kit. The sound too is spot on: no crackles or issues, the patterns are punchy and tight, bass extension is wonderful... it sounds great :-) I've never seen a piece of vintage kit in quite as good shape as this – definitely collector's grade."
