Playing With a Wavetable - Waldorf Blofeld

Published on Jul 2, 2016 100 Things I Do

"In my years of using synths I have never explored wavetables. There is a massive boom in new analog gear and analog synthesis at the moment.... I seem to have finally caught up to 1982 and joined the digital revolution! Although not directly created by Wolfgang Palm and the team at PPG the Blofeld continues along their and then Waldorf's legacy of Wavetable products."

"This is the cleanest minimoog I have ever seen inside and out. A little wear on the wood at the corner of the panels but everything else is just perfect. Recently had a complete servicing by boomer at future music in Los Angeles. It plays like a new synth. The keyboard action is even the potentiometers are all smooth and quiet and the filters are to die for. The moog big briar midi card is fantastic and extremely rare and offers seamless integration into your modern setup. Don't miss out on this gem."

Anne Boleyn Bass & Patch Tributes

Thought this was pretty cool/funny.

via @alarke_

"I love @moogmusicinc - their synth pad names are hilarious. Anne Boleyn Bass - preset E:91 🎹"

For those not familiar with Anne Boleyn, via Wikipedia: "Anne Boleyn (/ˈbʊlɪn/, /bəˈlɪn/ or /bʊˈlɪn/)[3][4] (c. 1501[1] – 19 May 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII, and Marquess of Pembroke in her own right.[5] Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution by beheading, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation."

There was a TV series called The Tudors on King Henry VIII with Anne Boleyn played by Natalie Dormer, who also plays Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones.

The preset as you can see is on the Minimoog Voyager. Regarding creative preset names on Moog synths, they also did a tribute to a number of people in the synth community on the Little Phatty. MATRIXSYNTH ended up factory preset number 70. Click through to see the rest.

Love it when manufacturers do things like this.

Glasgow Make Some Noise! Introduces The Pure Modular Concept Desktop Eurorack System

This in via GMSN!: "I'm writing from Glasgow Make Some Noise! a small company based in Glasgow UK. We have just released the pure modular - a sleek modular system with a focus on understanding sound synthesis. We've stripped back the bells and whistles so this is a great product for those looking to understand modular systems. The Pure Modular is available as a boxed unit or as separate modules. We hand make everything from the panels to the box in our Glasgow studio. (except the pcbs!)"

"The idea behind the GMSN! Pure Modular is to provide beginners with the fundamental building blocks of modular synthesis. There are loads of modules on the market today with a whole host of functionality packed into a very small space, which are really cool, however it makes it difficult to understand what is actually happening underneath. It’s easy to purchase a modular rig and end up twiddling knobs, but without a solid foundation it’s impossible to progress to deeper patch strategies. Each module in the range performs a simple function, either sound source, filter, volume shaper, etc. This makes it very easy to learn the principles of subtractive synthesis and also provides extremely powerful tools to explore non-traditional forms of music and sound design."
