Thoughts for the day...

In no particular order:

• We're almost out of CA3080's. I think I have one left to put up on eBay.


• When you are no longer able to provide people with what they want, you find out who your true friends are.


• That monster of an Oberheim 8 voice is finally out of my house. That was a nightmare which only served to make me more jaded about the synth world.


• Even though life is a bit rough right now, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Weird...

I don't know why my System 700 videos on YouTube generate so many snarky comments. *sigh*

Parts Stuff

The parts store has been updated. I've adjusted international shipping prices a bit, as I noticed they were a bit high.

Stay tuned to eBay for new listings.

Arp Ody Sliders: Sold out!

We just sold our last remaining Ody sliders. :)
Thanks to all who bought them over the couple years we had them. :)

Public Service Announcement

Do not try to use me to try to get to my husband.
It shows you have no true idea of what a good marriage entails, and it shows you underestimate my intelligence.

Thoughts for the Day

1. Don't pretend to be my friend to get what you want from me.
2. Don't project your own experiences and ego onto me.
3. Knowledge and experience should not be mistaken for ego.
4. In the 13 years I've been around the vintage synth world, I'm constantly amazed at the kind of people this world attracts.
5. When people call you "buddy" in this world, they're guilty of, or about to be guilty of, #1 above.
6. And finally...
7. If you feel inclined to take any of this personally... see #2.

Getting Jiggy with Synthfool #9: Minimoog MIDI to CV Interface Cable

From the eBay auction listing:

This cable plugs into the keyboard connector of a Minimoog D.
It provides CV and Gate directly into the Minimoog.
It makes the Mini think your external signals actually are the keyboard.
That means you still get the original Moog glide and working orange Keyboard Tracking switches on the filter too.

Works great with many MIDI to CV converters because it requires a positive-going gate (V Trig) and not Moog's special S-Trig.
My husband used it with his Kenton Pro-Solo MKII to test Minimoogs.
Can also be used to interface a modular synth or sequencer with a Minimoog.
