"Here is a self-playing patch on the Moog IIIC with a little help from the Buchla-format Gaussian module by Magnetic Freak
The patch is as follows: 3 Moog VCOs go into 3 VCAs (and one vial the LPF also) and these are being enveloped and triggered from 3 outputs of the Gaussian
The pitches also come from the Gaussian, but are being modified by the 2 Moog sequencers to give them some variation
It all goes into the Moog Matrix Mixer so I can do panning, eq and also add delay into the mix, in this case a Moog-format digital unit from Synthetic Sound Labs. It is VC-able, and is really wonky and lo-fi - but I love it as its very unpredictable and is providing the white-noisey percussive sounds when it gets CVs from the sequencer
Thats pretty much the patch - I am not interacting with it - its completely self-aware and a bit like a crazy Moog jazz band that doesn't know what its supposed to be doing but does it anyway

"The infamous OB6 marks the last collaboration between Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith and already counts to be one of the most legendary Synths out there. In this week’s video Jonas is trying to recreate the sound of the OB6 with digital and hardware solutions"
This new design aims to bring some refreshing features and FX to the T-420 family in an ultra affordable and compact package.
A super minimal bare PCB design with protective base plate and SMD components. With this design many steps have been taken to reduce production and lead times in 2023!
Featuring:
Micro USB input for power (USB cable included!)
Bypass switch
Mode switch (to switch between "original FX mode and "SE" FX mode)
CV Input for controlling with modular synthesizers
4 FX control knobs (a new 4th knob adds an even wider scope for fx)
This unit works and looks its absolute best when plugged directly into a CRT TV, but it works well in bigger video rigs with video mixers/ TBCs etc.
The First batch of 30 units are shipping out at the end of January.

"Introducing the wonderful CRB Computer Band 2000 - a mainly analog auto-accompaniment machine from the the late 70s and early 80s with four sections:
1.Drums with individually mutable sounds and fill-in and variation options
2.Bass section with three sounds, decay controls and two modes
3.Two chord sections with a total of seven sounds, decay and volume controls.
4. And an arpeggiator with four different sounds and decay control.
A great song writing tool when you're stuck and simply a very inspiring instrument, the sounds on these are really cool.
The Computerband 2000 was originally made for big home-organs, they're incorporated into the CRB 910 organs and a few Solton branded ones as well.
These stand-alone units are very rare."
"Today I am happy to share 611 Supreme. This track sits at the beginning or end of my sets, I almost never play it in the middle of a show as the vibe on it is to ease you in or ease you out. It's a 140 BPM Chill-IDM song about my old favorite bar on Capitol Hill in Seattle, the 611 Supreme.
