Arturia MicroFreak Paraphonic Hybrid Touch Keyboard Synth

Published on Apr 26, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Arturia's MicroFreak has a four voice digital oscillator based on the Mutable Instruments Plaits run through an analog state variable filter. The MicroFreak has a fun to play touch keyboard as well as an arpeggiator and sequencer.

There are two envelopes, one that loops and an LFO as well as a modulation matrix for routing control signals around the synthesizer. In this video we used the Arturia DrumBrute Impact for some drums.

Moog Prodigy 32-Key Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"Up for sale (and priced to sell) is one Moog Prodigy. I've placed the year to 1980-1981 (Could be wrong). The serial is unclear because it looks like 7081, but I know that the unit didn't include CV/Gate (like this one) after number 4610. It's smudged, so you be the judge.

Perhaps to a collector's chagrin, I personally opened it up and restored it. I am an amateur, but I followed the instructions as prescribed by this youtube video:

I cleaned the circuit board, soap brushed the control panel, replaced the missing plastic switches, dusted the knobs, and then sanded and refinished the wood panels (sides/front) with a darker varnish to match my Dave Smith synths. I think I did a good job for an amateur, but your endorsement will only be ratified and vindicated by the money with which you purchase it. I priced it to lowest fair price plus the money I put into its restoration and reasonable shipping price.

Functionally, it is in fantastic shape. The keys obviously have a bit of wear after 40 years, but each one works as it should. The only sticky switch is the filter/loudness release on/off switch. If you are nice to it, it will flip just fine. There is some give in all of the knobs and switches, but this synth is meant to be handled gently like any piece of 40 year old equipment so don't be stabbing it Keith Emerson style."

Lisa Bella Donna - Impression for Moog Matriarch, 16MM Film, & Magnetic Tape

Published on Apr 26, 2019 Lisa Bella Donna

"Variations on a few themes I recorded with the Moog Matriarch. One of which appears as the opening credits for the beautiful & breathtaking premiere film that Moog composed for the Matriarch. This particular piece has some heavy use of analog treatment during mixdown, including combing the synthesizer with some haunting field recordings to conjure some thematic contrast. However all the synthesis you hear is the amazing Moog Matriarch prototype.

Recorded, mixed, & manipulated on a Tascam 388 and mixed to an Otari MX5050

My immense gratitude to all the beautiful & talented humans at Moog Music In.

WMD MSCL and Overseer - Master Compression Tutorial and Demo

Published on Apr 26, 2019 WMDevices

"The WMD Performance Mixer is the ultimate mixer for live eurorack modular synth performances. What about the master send and return though? What should I sue the stereo insert on the master for? How does it work? The Overseer stereo filter and MSCL stereo compressor modules were made for this exact use case.

In this video, Alex runs through how to connect the MSCL and Overseer modules to your WMD Performance Mixer, what order he prefers to put them in, and then goes into a crash course on master compression and how to do it correctly. After that, he runs through the features and functions of the Overseer stereo filter module and presents some fun and practical use-case scenarios."

Lisa Bella Donna - Paraphonic Preludé for Moog Matriarch

Published on Apr 26, 2019 Lisa Bella Donna

"My very first recording/exploration with the Moog Matriarch prototype when it arrived at my studio and I switched it on. Such a beautiful sounding instrument. It was also not yet called the "Matriarch"...
Photos are from around my studio and home in the Appalachian Mountains. My immense gratitude to all at Moog Synthesizers. They're the BEST for a reason.

Recorded to Tascam 388 8 Channel tape recorder."
