New Moog DIY Project Coming to This Year's MOOGFEST 2018 ENGINEER WORKSHOP


Update: And it will be the Sub-Harmonicon.

Previous years brought us the BFAM and DFAM. What will this year bring?

via Moog Music:

"Work alongside Moog engineers to build and take home your own unique electronic instrument, currently unreleased and designed especially for the 2018 Moogfest Engineer Workshop.

Over the coming weeks, we will reveal the details of our Moogfest Engineer Workshop, including info on this year’s build. The workshops will fill up quickly once the build specs are made public, so reserve your Engineer Pass this week to guarantee your spot.

The Engineer Pass is a special Moogfest ticket that includes an exclusive synth-building workshop and VIP access to this year’s festival in Durham, NC. The workshop is led by Moog engineers, who guide participants as they learn the foundations of analog synthesis and build their own unreleased Moog instrument. No experience is necessary, but basic soldering knowledge is recommended. Space is limited. Click here to reserve your spot at the Moogfest 2018 Engineer Workshop."

7th Annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge


via Moog Music where you'll find details on how to enter.

"Wake up, Benders, Modders, and Hardware Hackers; it's time for the 7th Annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge.

Moog Music was born when a young Bob Moog started tinkering with electronic circuitry. As a boy, Moog built small radios, amplifiers, and Theremins in his basement workshop with his father. The rest, as you know, is history.

Click here for the details of this year’s challenge. Enter by April 13th for a chance to win a pair of passes to Moogfest 2018, where the top 3 entries will compete for top honors and Moog Synthesizers."

Paia 5700P, 4-Voice Analog Percussion Synth "The Drum"

via this auction

"This listing is for one extremely rare Paia "The Drum" 5700P Analog Percussion Synthesizer. It is essentially a cab filled with 4 identical modules that can generate a sound that is suited to percussive analog tones. It can be triggered via any sound source, including other drums, eurorack, a drum machine, etc. (voltage trigger OR audio into the 1/4" jack). Each voice also has CV in that tracks across a few octaves so they can also be used as a stand-alone synth voice for basslines, melodies, etc. if so desired.

The sound can be described as very raw and weighty, similar to other early analog percussion units like the Simmons SDSV and 808. This unit works very well for it's age, though some pots could use some cleaning."

Custom Built Modular Synthesizer Using CEM Chipset

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

via this auction

"Custom system [built] back in the '80s using CEM chips on PAiA boards. This synth uses banana plugs to connect the various modules. Many cords are included.

The modules included are: 3 VCOs, 1 CCF, 2 ADSRs, and one dual VCA. The chips are all by CEM, the same chips used by many '80s synths (MOOG, Sequential, many more). These chips are hard to find and just the value of these rare chips make this listing valuable. All chips are in sockets. Also included is a simple 2 channel passive mixer and some multiples.

Also included is a 2 amp bipolar power supply. This is also custom built using good components and housed in an aluminum box.

The synth modules are in a standard 19" rack case. This listing does NOT include any keyboard or other controller. There is only a trigger button. A keyboard controller or sequencer with control voltage outputs will be needed unless you want to just experiment with voltages from the VCOs.

This is an item for someone who wants to tinker and experiment. I used it as a bass voice along with other synths and it worked great for that purpose. Like any modular synth there is a world of sonic possibilities."
