"Using the Music Thing Radio Music Eurorack sampler module (please ignore the shamefully dead 3rd LED) we explore disabling the looping mode, making the perfect tool for one shot sampling.

"Jamming with the Kraftzwerg synthesiser & Volca Beats drum machines (MFB Tanzbar MIDI Out to Volca Beats MIDI In, Tanzbar CV/Gate2 to Kraftzwerg).

A small amount of reverb has been used, no further processing except for normalisation."

Michelle Moog-Koussa Featured on NPR's State of Things

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"Earlier this month, our executive director, Michelle Moog-Koussa, was interviewed by WUNC's State of Things about her life path leading to her decision to take the helm of the Bob Moog Foundation. Michelle offers insights into her early childhood with her father and recounts the first moments when she realized that despite his low-key, humble approach to his work, he was a famous and revered inventor.

You can listen to the entire interview here."

Update: I forgot to mention, great license plate! BTW, see the License Plates label below for more.

Historian Thom Holmes Examines Early Moog Modular Performances

via The Bob Moog Foundation:

"Delving Deep into Moog History: Early Live Moog Modular Performances

Historian Thom Holmes returns this month with a fascinating examination of the earliest live performances on the Moog Modular synthesizer, and the musicians who brought them to life.

Replete with rare photos, vintage concert programs, and other archival material, the blog features artists such as Herb Deutsch [pictured], Gershon Kingsley, John Cage, John Mills-Cockell, Chris Swansen, Paul Bley, Annette Peacock, and many more.

ANGLE presents their newest A/V system ‘Shining Back’, a grid structure of LED lights pulsing in a geometric matrix to the duo’s live rhythms.

Taking an architectural form of a kaleidoscope the lighting visually weaves and refracts the music into a surreal yet symbiotic form.

This is ANGLE’s finest synesthetic performance achievement to date.

New MMO-4 Digital, Semi-Modular, Analog Style Hardware Synthesizer by Nozoïd

Update: "Demonstration of the MMO-4 synthesizer from http://www.nozoïd.com"

via Nozoïd

"coming soon!

MMO-4 is a digital, semi-modular, analogue style synthesizer. Build around Frequency Modulation Synthesis (FM), this synthesizer is mostly dedicated to atonal sound generation. From fat drone to percussive noise, MMO-4 offer a rich and complex timbre control.

Why is it so special?
Unlike most FM synthesiser, the MMO-4 is not limited to specific modulation routing. All four oscillators can modulate/be modulated by all oscillators. Modulation parameters are accessible thanks to 12 knob for a continuous adjustment of the timbre.

It also offer a custom amplitude modulation technique where each oscillator amplitude can be modulate prior to a wave shaper in order to add harmonics without frequency variation.

Also, a joystick allows an easy manipulation of most parameters, for a fast and expressive control of the sound.

What is inside?
30 control knobs
A joystick to control modulation parameters
4 oscillators
4 waveshaper
1 MIX (4 channels)
FM and Wave shaping modulation
1 LFO with configurable waveform and modulation control
1 ADSR
A very powerful digital connection matrix
2 octaves keyboard with portamento
1 digital matrix to control the oscillators modulations
1 Stereo line IN with envelope follower and gate control
1 Stereo audio OUT
1 MIDI input (note / velocity / pitch wheel / control change)
1 analog CV IN and 1 GATE IN"

OCS-2 VCO demo from chnry on Vimeo.

"This video demonstrate the sound of one VCO of the OCS-2 synthesizer. The sound did not pass throw the VCF,VCA.

The frequency is changed thanks to a LFO.

the 15 waveforms of this VCO are demonstrated one after the other.

more info about the synth : chnry.net/ocs"


OCS-2 VCF demo from chnry on Vimeo.

"Sound of the VCF OCS-2 synthesizer. A sawtooth waveform at constant frequency is pass throw the VCF. The VCF cutoff is changed via a LFO.

the resonance factor (Q) is manually adjusted during the recording."

via Nozoïd:

"OCS-2 is a digital, semi-modular, analogue style synthesizer. Small, but very powerful and flexible, it provide an incredible sound quality. Dedicated to knob addict, this synthesizer is full of feature that define it’s own unique sound.

Why is it so special?
First, the sound quality is impressive : this is not a cheap 8 or 16 bits synthesizer : it implement state of the art audio synthesis algorithm.
OCS-2 provide lot’s more than the essential of a modern dual oscillator monosynth. Original waveform, shape morphing LFO, there is a lot of unique feature :

30 control knobs
Few atypical waveform with incredible fat sound
LFO that can continuously change waveform
A CV GENERATOR with different algorithm to generate random to rhythmic modulation
4 audio effects
A very powerful digital connection matrix
A light sensor to control sound with hand gesture
Customizable and possibility for software update
Very compact
Incredible sound quality

What is inside?
2 VCO providing 15 different waveform
1 VCF (multi-mode, including a 24db/Octave low pass resonant filter)
1 VCA
1 ADSR
3 LFO (2 with configurable waveform, 1 with CV frequency control)
1 custom CV GENERATOR with 4 different algorithms (Attack Release, dual LFO, Random, Non Linear)
1 audio effects processor with 4 different effect (Distortion, delay, bitcrush, waveshaper)
1 ring modulator
1 CV controlled MIX (for VCO1 and VCO2)
2 octaves keyboard with portamento
1 digital matrix to connect CV to modulation fader
1 Stereo line-IN with envelope follower and gate control
1 MIDI input (note / velocity / pitch wheel / modulation wheel / control change)
3 analog CV IN and 1 GATE IN
1 light sensor
Why will you love it?
Since it is very small, you can carry this synthesizer everywhere. You can even use a 9V battery as power supply. With an embedded audio multi-effect, you don’t need anything else!
But this synthesizer can also adapt to your setup: add a midi keyboard and your ready for endless jam.
OCS-2 is also perfect as a computer complement : prepare some midi loop and use them in combination with the modulation faders as CV controls.
With a line audio input, 3 analogue Control Voltage In, and one 0/5V Gate IN, OCS-2 can also be a great addition to your modular setup.

The extensive number of physical control allow an easy and effective sound tuning. 30 faders intent a direct access to all sound parameters, so you can only focus on the music.

The light sensors is also a great for music expressiveness : use the shade of your hand to control your sound! Your performance on stage will never be the same thanks to this feature. This is also attractive for studio work since it introduce a very different control than a fader rotation.

Specifications
30 fader, 12 bits input
48KHz audio synthesis
about 10KHz for CV computation
24 bits audio ADC and DAC
32 bits audio synthesis
82 dB S/N ratio for the audio line-out (measured)
0.15 ms IN/OUT audio latency
cortex M3 32 bits micro-controller (arduino due)
7 to 12V power supply (1 standard 2mm power plug or 1 standard eurorack plug)
low power consumption (300mA @ 12V)
3U, 10 inches (50HP) eurorack format
254 x 128.5 x 50 mm (290 x 139 x 55mm for the box)
about 270g (750g with the wood box)"
