Re: "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings Synth?

I first heard it on a children's show in the 70s. I started taping it immediately. I didn't know it was Paul McCartney at all, but I loved it. I listened to that tape for years. When you're a kid who loves synthesizers AND pop in the 70s, you love it. And, I still love it. I heard it in the grocery ...

Re: Is the synthesizer simply an "improved" form of piano ??

Regarding Moog and Deutsch, my own reading had led me to the conclusion that once they had decided they needed a conventional means of control, the keyboard was simply the most convenient technology available. Given the technology at the time, something like, say, a guitar interface would have been...

Re: Is the synthesizer simply an "improved" form of piano ??

The first true synthesizer was a keyboard-operated synthesizer. And, before you start raging about the situation where Thomas Edison so violently oppressed Nik- oh, wait, I mean the situation where Bob Moog and his evil empire crushed poor Don Buchla*... I'm not talking about 1964. I'm talking about...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

I hope they did the supersaw mod and the EDM "wobble" mod... Oh, and what about the sub-osc mod for more bass? not gonna really compete with modern stuff if not! :? The upgrade doesn't include USB. There's no sequencer, or even an arpeggiator. STILL no patch saving, or even presets. I mean seriousl...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

Ball worship ... snicker ... Obviously I'm now just trolling here, but I do want to know two things: when will you post the video and who's going to pay the shipping on my new Mini? You spelled it wrong. It's "BALLS WORSHIP." I will post the video within a week, and I have not reviewed the official...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

It's got extended functionality, but it sounds fantastic. That's an odd usage of the adversative conjuction "but," AG. How about "and" -- offered only as a friendly amendment, of course. Well, I just figured that some of you might remember my ANTI-MOD complaints of the past. ;) I'd hate to see a pr...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

In any case, I just shot a demo of the synthesizer being raffled, and I got pretty excited during shooting. It's got extended functionality, but it sounds fantastic. I can't wait to show you. Enter the raffle! And if you do, thank you! And if you don't, you STILL don't have to pay shipping. You will...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

OK, I get it now. Some gearheads are pissed because the BMF won't post free schematics of vintage Moog synths? Well that's Doty's spin on things, as given above. I answered a question to make it clear there's a dispute, but it seems if I or anyone else try to counter every bit of spin from Doty we'...

I expected a lecture. :roll: And the usual unimpressive bluster and empty allegations against people who dare to question you. Did you really think I wouldn't respond, Sweep? And... have you ever noticed that you have this habit of hyperbolically characterizing people you disagree with? But yeah. E...

Re: Raffle for minimoog signed by Gary Numan

I don't understand how this of all things has devolved into an arguement. I wouldn't really call it an argument. An argument is far worse than that. :) Some people aren't happy about the BMF and refuse to give money to it - or, in several cases, to give any more money to it, having given before to ...
