Octave Cat Analog Synthesizer SN A1006

via this auction

"Octave released this analog classic - the Cat - during the era of the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey synthesizers. The Cat is actually very much like the ARP Odyssey, so much so that ARP had sued them in the late 1970's for cloning their designs. The Cat is a monophonic/duophonic analog synthesizer with 2 oscillators capable of square and sawtooth waveforms. VCO 1 also has a triangle waveform. Each of the waveforms can be played simultaneously and mixed together and there are additional sub-octave oscillators on each oscillator to blend new and interesting sounds.

This one was recently serviced by Deltronics in Chicago to have the power supply cleaned up. The oscillators are stable and all the pots are smooth. There is some visible wear on the face plate particularly around the filter frequency pot. There is also a small ding in one of the wood panels shown in the picture. Overall though the synth sounds and plays great."

"The Roland crew hit Miami Music Week with the AIRA gear and we thought we'd show you some of what happened. We shared AIRA with a lot of big artists and, as you can see, it caused quite a stir and blew a lot of minds They jammed, performed, and even DJ'd their own VIP party - live - for literally hours. And nobody dared hit the STOP button once. This is just a taste of what happens when AIRA comes to town. More to come..."

Floor Jam Fun

Published on Mar 30, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE·124 videos

"Moved to the floor after moving some gear around for better use, this is the jam and fun that followed.

Left side. Suitcase synthesizer I fabricated from a case which was being discarded. Two rows of euro rack on the bottom, side panel with power couplings available, and the Technosaurus 2100 upper portion. This is my beloved small wonders series all snug behind custom panels with jacks patching out the various connections for each device. Huge thanks again to Jurg for getting them operational again. WARNING- Technosaurus small wonders devices are NOT designed to share a power supply with other devices or one another. Save your device, keep it powered solely. The right side is the Super Synthesis Super 37 modular keyboard controller which is controlling the three voices I am using here. The S37 is a one off custom build in conjunction with David's personal unit anodized in green with my own hand made Padouk wood side panels. Voice one - Din Sync OSC303 triangle wave to Blue Lantern Diode filter, Doepfer ADSR and VCA for this voice. Voice two, Technosaurus Microcon to Delptronics Ring Mod and out to mixer. Voice three is the MFB Kraftzwerg eurorack module in the S37 using the adsr for one oscillator, a little from the noise source and adsr two on the filter. All three voices then sent through the Synthrotek pre-development echo module with my custom faceplate. Other modules for the drums from Delptronics and Din Sync, timing and clock from Flame Tame machine, clock separations from Turing machine, Stoichia and Spock. The suitcase was nine months in the making which was mostly spent fixing my damage to the Technosaurus pieces. All good now, looking pretty and sounding great once again. The SSS37 was a great project, blows me away every time I uncover it and is my version of a poor mans minimoog model D. Any questions on anything seen or heard here should be sent my way, hope you like it. Enjoy!!!"

Fractional Rack Mdlr Jam

Published on Mar 30, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE·124 videos

"Finally filled the last empty space in this completely DIY fractional rack modular synthesizer that I built.

She started life from the last few pieces of Purpleheart wood I had of which the frame and side panels are made from this. The perforated steel and aluminum bottom panel I had to painstakingly bend to fit the side cheeks. They got rid of the brake from the shop. :-( The power is from Paia as well as a pre-amp module, a balanced modulator (ring mod) and a mixer, left to right in video. This is followed by my custom MOTM version of the Bi-n-Tic module converted for frac rack use and finally the Synthcube Steiner microcon module for frac. Drums are coming from the Korg ES-1, the Bi-n-Tic is being fed audio from the SynthTech Cloud Generator which it and the Microcon are being sequenced by the C&G Melody Mill. All not in synchronization but it was sounding cool. Enjoy."

Audiovisual Grain Machine Demo

Published on Mar 30, 2014 John Keston·34 videos

"I designed this software to do audiovisual granular synthesis. It allows a performer to apply granular synthesis to sound and corresponding video using a touch interface such as MIRA (shown). The audio and video are accurately synchronized creating uncanny effects. The software also has the capability to capture and repeat gestures so that the performer can accompany the projections with multiple layers and arrange compositions in a performance setting. This demo granulates the voice and image of Lister Rossel. In addition I use analogue synthesizers to contrast the digital manipulations."

Tristan Perich: Noise Patterns Coming to NYC This Wednesday, April 2

April 2, 2014 at 8:00pm
Baby's All Right
146 Broadway (at Bedford Ave), Brooklyn, NY

Info on Noise Patterns (click through for audio and more pics)

"Expanding on Perich's 1-Bit Symphony and tonal works for electronic circuits and acoustic instruments, Noise Patterns is a composition for sequenced 1-bit patterns of white noise, programmed for and performed by microchip. Instead of synthesizing definite frequencies, the code in Noise Patterns outputs random sequences of 1s and 0s. The 'notes' of Perich’s 'score' are then varying probabilities of randomness—ranging from the sound of white noise to sporadic instantaneous pops—which he composes into rhythmic patterns. In a tidal wave of 1-bit noise, the music is an investigation into the foundational limits of computation, which surface in the seemingly simple world of randomness."

OP-1 new DSynth - CUCKOO Walkthrough

Published on Mar 30, 2014 cuckoomusic .·136 videos

"The OP-1 just got an OS update, and they're introducing a new synth engine called DSynth. It's based on the same engine as the DBOX, but slightly different. It's definitely the deepest of the synths engines within the OP-1 so far. I'm just scratching the surface in this video really, and half of the time I don't have a clue of what I'm doing. But it's great fun, and you can be both dreamy and glitchy with the new synth.

1971 Moog Musonics MiniMoog Model D SN 1242 with MIDI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"For Sale : 1971 Musonics MiniMoog Model D Serial # 1242. (making it production unit # 242). DOB 12/22/71.

This particular Mini is very unique, because it not only contains all of the original hardware (RA Moog), original wood casing, but she's in beautiful shape, & 100 % functional as well. There are no scratchy pots, double triggering of keys, or other issues to report that plague vintage Mini's. This one has been completely refurbished by Chris @ This Old Synth which included new bushings, recapped power supply, tuning, scaling, installation of the OptoKey upgrade, and more. From the cosmetics side - she only has one minor blemish on the casing in the front (right side), yet overall, I would say easily a 9/10 condition. Purely, a studio/museum piece synth here - babied, and never taken out of the house other than for occasional maintenance.

1) OptoKey upgrade : This upgrade uses optical sensors to replace the older flaky contact system, making it immune to dust and corrosion over time. It completely eliminates double triggering or dirty contacts repairs in the future. I cannot say enough for the touch and responsiveness of this MiniMoog with this upgrade ! It also provides MIDI with basic on/off functionality, yet it does not transmit CC messages as an FYI. Note : The MIDI inserts are not drilled though the wood, nor through the metal casing - see pics, as 'non destructive' approach here was taken here to preserve the original condition of the synth in all respects.

2) CV Mod by CAE. This particular mod allows you to be MIDI controllable via a Roland MPU-101 to MIDI interface or as such.

3) The original old 2-prong lamp style cod was replaced, to a newer 3-prong grounded variety."
