"This Memory Moog Vintage Synthesizer is an amazing piece of history. It was used at Capital Records Recording studio for many years. I bought it used in LA over 10 years ago. It has been kept in a case only to be brought out for rare sampling and recording sessions. For its age it is excellent condition. Every knob, memory slot, mod wheel, wave form generator, and key function and are working. This is a special find..."

"Voice
SID is a 28-pin DIP-capsule chip from 8 bits computer Commodore 64 released on the market in 1982 machine based subtractive synthesis. SID generate 1 voice. A single voice is composed by 3 oscillators with variable parameters (detune, synch, transpose, delay start, PWM, ringmodulato)r and 5 waveforms: triangle, saw, mixed, noise, pulse with variable width.

Performance
machine offers some special playmodes:
- legato with adjustable time rate
- special polymode play the oscillators in polyphonic way for chords, but they cannot be assigned to different Midi channels.

Filter
multimode resonant filter with cutoff range from 30 Hz to 12 kHz:
- lowpass at 2 poles
- bandpass at 1 pole
- highpass at 2 poles
- band reject at 1 pole
- all: activates all modes in the same tim

LFO
4 delayed assignable modulators with polarity inversion, fade-in, variable depth and ABZ mode that change negative values into positive ones. The modulators are identical and have 7 waveforms.

Envelope
4 EGs in total, all 4 stages ADSR and quantisized into 15 values:
- EG1 OSC1 amp
- EG2 OSC2 amp
- EG3 OSC3 amp
- EG4 VCF

Arpeggiator
each voice features an individual arpeggiator that can be synched to Midi clock."

"Exploring the Locrian mode with dark, sweeping techno.

I tried to get around the main problem with the Locrian mode (its root triad is diminished, so it never feels at rest) by swiping a jazz technique and omitting the 5th, using a shell voicing instead. By making the other chords in the progression more dissonant and emphasising the root with other synths, I think it manages to reinforce the Locrian feel while avoiding the feeling that it's about to resolve somewhere else.

Apart from Waldorf Streichfett strings, the main voices are a Mother 32 bassline, plucky AFG arpeggios through a Pittsburgh Filter (not Mangrove through Sinc Bucina as I wrote in the video) and drums using both dedicated percussion modules and the Synthtech E352 for noisy snares than morph into wavetable stabs. I used the triangle suboctave trick from my previous tutorial video ([posted here]) to add heft to the Mother 32 bass, and the rest of the patch is explained in the video."
