Ray Wilson of Music From Outer Space

Update via Suit and Tie Guy in the comments:
"a few clarifications:

a) it was technically the "Ray Wilson Etcetera Ghetto System", as only 3/5ths of it were derivative of Ray Wilson boards. there's also the Yves Usson Gate Delay and the STG Soundlabs Moog CP Filter Clone Slash Passive Ring Modulator module. it is also in this video, which you made a post about a while back, processing something. not sure what really.

b) yes you are correct, A. Non Emouse. filters and ring modulator don't really have much to do with one another. however, these filters and ringmod are both passive ... so they have that in common. and yes i fooed the hole puncherement on the ringmod bit. it should have been upside down, so to speak."

Musicmaker Meetup in Brooklyn Tonight

In case you missed this on Create Digtital Music:
"Attention, boys and girls: fans of DIY hardware, physical computing, circuit bending, hacked gear and gaming machines, custom code and patching, independent hardware makers, mad scientists, and even the casual fan of the above who want to check out some cool projects — if you’re anywhere near the NYC area, we want you next week.

Thursday March 22, we’ll be having the first informal get-together for a regular series of events, and we’d love to have you there. (Note that I went with the music angle to keep things simple, but motion-y projects are equally welcome.)"

The Stearns Collection MOOG Synthesizer

"Moog Synthesizer, Stearns 2035. This particular instrument has the distinction of being the first commercially produced Moog synthesizer.

It was commissioned by the Alwin Nikolai Dance Theater of New York in 1964 after being demonstrated at the Audio Engineering Society convention in New York in October of that year. Nikolai used the synthesizer to compose recorded musical accompaniments for his dancers.

Later, the instrument was acquired by the Collection. In 1989, Robert Moog gave a demonstration lecture using this synthesizer—a lecture jointly sponsored by the Stearns Collection and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan."

White noise generator that triggers the VCO and can create percussion like sounds.

8 step Sequencer with note on/off switch and pitch knob for each step and reset function.

Also the instrument is ligthed with 2 blue leds that indicates the LFO and Sequencer Rate, and 8 red leds to indicate the step that is being played. Very useful when you play it on a dark stage.

The Analog Sequencer is packed in a cool cristal acrilic case that shows all the hand made analog circuitry.

The instrument is powered directly from 110 V AC. it has a 1/4 inch audio output, On/off switch, rubber feet, and comes with operation manual.
