via this auction

"These units are almost new and were only used as demos at NAMM 2019!

The GEN X-1 is a full-fledged synth with LFO, Filter, Delay unit and Envelope. This is a fat, fat beast!

The Classic is... the Classic! The one you’ve heard on Bowie’s Space Oddity. Nuff said!

The Beatbox features samples, beats, sounds and you can record and loop your own beat to play against to.

Besides being portable, they’re cool and offer that vintage vibe you want.

Does not come in their boxes, which were tossed after the event, but will be carefully packed."

Aquifex - Dark Live Jam 071619 - Hartmann Neuron & Soma Labs Lyra-8

"Fun little dark jam made on a business trip last year with the Hartmann Neuron VST (Mac host) from Germany and the amazing Soma Labs Lyra-8 made by Vlad Kreimer in Moscow.

Assembled/performed in Loopy HD on the iPad Pro, recently performed directly to a stereo recorder. Since the VST was in a standalone host app it's still DAWless, technically. :-)"

Moog 16 Channel Analog Vocoder (With More Than Just Vocals)

Published on Mar 6, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Moog has resumed production of their classic 16-Channel Vocoder—an effect heard on countless records from Giorgio Moroder to Wendy Carlos and Moog Cookbook. While vocoders are often considered synonymous with robotic vocals, there's much more to this incredible processor than just that.

Vocoders can be used to combine the spectral content of any two sounds, analyzing the frequency content of one sound and impressing it upon another—in this case, by employing sixteen channels of Moog filters and envelope followers. In this video, we used the Vocoder to impress the spectral profile of a Moog DFAM on a Moog Mother-32, to create spectrally gated vocals using the Division Department 01/IV, and to do some classic synth vocals with the Elektron Digitone.

A world-class way to do complex filtering, dynamic gating effects, synth voice, or even general-purpose envelope following, the Moog 16-Channel Vocoder is no doubt one of the best-sounding vocoders ever made.
