Rare Vintage Moog 981 Mixer Module from 1967

This one is in via Thesis Audio Service who had the following to say:

"I came across this very rare module in a 1968 Moog IIIp that we are restoring for a client. It is a model 981 four channel mixer which I can find very little info about. It appears in the classic Wendy Carlos modular picture and in some Max Brand pictures. There is no mention of it in any of my Moog archive literature or service documents. I have included the schematic that I derived from it. It is an AC coupled mixer for audio. All of the IIIp system pictures that you find show a multiple panel in it's location in the system. The IIIp that we have is dated 1968, but this module is dated 1967. It's a bit of a Moog unicorn, possibly built by the master's hands himself."

I believe this is the first Moog Model 981 module to be featured on the site. You can see the Model number designated as 981 in the image below. The serial number is 1002 and the date is NOV 10 1967. R.A. MOOG CO. TRUMANSBURG N.Y. is on the label. You can find a circuit diagram below as well.

Thesis Audio Service also sent in the rare Moog Model 903 White Sound Source posted here.

Modular Journey to Industrial Trance - Modular Synth Jam

Published on Oct 1, 2019 Corsynth

"I was having fun testing the DR-03 Hihats / Metal prototype and I decided to record it.
All sounds come from the 30 spaces Corsynth Modular. Everything was recorded in real time in 6 individual tracks. Only effects added are a bit of reverb and delay."

Novation Circuit - Gradient

Published on Oct 13, 2019 Silver Reef

"About a month ago, I bought an Arturia MicroFreak to add another synth track to my Circuit. The MicroFreak was fun to play around on, but I had a hard time making sounds that integrated well into my tracks. I ended up selling it, and went for something a little more unconventional: a cheap electric guitar off Craiglist! It doesn't get more analog than that :P

The only exposure I've ever had to guitar was a half-year class in junior high, so I hope I don't offend any guitarists with my awful playing. I think it sounds really nice with the Circuit, though! Nobody cares about your technique when you drown your playing in reverb and delay, right?

The Circuit is sending mono out to one input of my Scarlett 2i2. The guitar is sent to the other input, and processed with the HyBrit Amp Modelling VST by LePou, TAL Reverb 4, delay, and compression. The final track was then mastered with Ozone Elements 8."

Roland JU-06A demo

Published on Oct 13, 2019 Hunart©

"Hi everyone!

I`ve got my hands on the new JU-06A. Mainly I`ve concentrated on the Juno-60 emulation but of course the 106 side was used too.

Every sound (the drums too) comes from the JU-06A. Beside some low cut at 30Hz (heavy bass in some cases) and some limiting there`s no EQ, compression or external FX."

GRP A-2 + UNO DRUM // PURE ANALOG

Published on Oct 13, 2019 LESINDES

"This is the first episode of PURE ANALOG -- a project to find out and show the qualities of analog synthesizers and eventually also hybrids. And exciting Question is also how contemporary synths like this lush GRP A-2 or EREBUS NYX compare to vintage legends like MINIMOOG or ARP ODYSSEY or ROLAND JUPITER 4 etc. So this piece will be played and performed with different synths in the future track by track recorded in DAW without any equing or otherwise processed in DAW, no add modulation, reverb, saturatio or other FX. Only a mastering compressor, EQ and Limiter is used on the sum. So what you hear is completely un-FX-ed material -- almost impossible to find these days!!!"
