Moog Memorymoog LAMM - "The Blue Beast" w/ Custom Flight Case SN 1047

via this auction

"A 'regular' Memorymoog in good shape is an incredible find. The Blue Beast's feature set and condition, however, are unmatched. You can see from the photos that, cosmetically, the Blue Beast is exceptional. It sounds better than it looks. The Blue Beast has lived in my home studio and has never been gigged or loaned...

This gorgeous Memorymoog LAMM is an extremely rare and valuable instrument. It is a low serial number (1047) model with black side panels (few had black sides; most are silver). It was thoroughly overhauled in 2013 by Rudi Linhard to become a Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog (LAMM). Lintronics also replaced the original red LEDs with blue LEDs, and replaced the solid black mod wheels with luminescent blue LED wheels, motivating Rudi Linhard to nickname this monster "Blue Beast".

The synth has also been meticulously maintained and further refined by Retrolinear, Inc., one of the premier vintage electronics repair and restoration companies (see Retrolinear's website for their "A-list" band clients). Among other things, Retrolinear replaced the original power supply with an upgraded unit. The new power supply is much lighter. More importantly, it is also silent. (Factory Memorymoogs used a noisy fan.) Retrolinear has also restored or replaced keybed elements and voice chips. All six voices tune.

Included in the sale is a custom flight case fabricated by Mark Dehart at Rock Hard Road Cases. Also included are copies of original Moog Memorymoog service and technical manuals; the Lintronics LAMM manual; and documents showing the LAMM and maintenance work provided."

Published on Mar 29, 2019 GEOSynths

"The Korg Prologue is a very good sounding Synth, there are some things lacking however and the 12db Filter might not be to everyone's taste, but for me, I love the wiry textures.

So, I get asked the same sort of question over and over, which is "This Synth vs That Synth vs That one". Now I decided to a Sound designers Review of 10 Synths that I have made Banks of Patches for and come up with 5 areas to go over and to to give them a score out of 20, for a final total.

These are:

Features - 13
Workflow - 14
Sound Design - 13
Versatility - 12
Value For money - 11

Korg Prologue gets - 63/100

Sequential Prophet REV 2 gets - 80/100"

Dual Arturia MicroFreak + DrumBrute Impact Jam #TSR19

Published on Mar 29, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Here's part of my video with Bryan from Arturia that I made at the Thomann Synth Reactor #TSR19 event. Bryan was lovely, had a great time and lots of laughs with Bryan and the full video with him will be coming in the not too distant future. However I felt the full jam with did with a pair of MicroFreaks and a DrumBrute Impact deserved a video on it's own. So here it is!"
