Synthesizers.com LFO Prototype Auction Benefits Bob Moog Foundation
By HC News |
Asheville, NC - December 22, 2015...
Synthesizers.com, internationally recognized creators of analog modular synthesizers, are auctioning a rare prototype of their Q167 LFO++ module, with proceeds to benefit the Bob Moog Foundation. The 10-day auction runs from 1pm (PST) December 22 through 1PM (PST) December 30, 2015. It is being posted on eBay and can be viewed at this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331737986994.
This one-of-a-kind module, built and signed by master synth designer Roger Arrick, is fully functional, though differs slightly from the final production units.
The Q167 LFO++ is a pure analog module offering unique features including a precision LFO that operates into the audio range and tracks a 1v/octave keyboard or sequencer, and a wave shaping section that creates clean sine waves, anti-sine waves, curved sawtooth, gates, and more.
The built-in envelope generator provides control of the LFO's speed and/or amplitude over time, with control over sustain TIME to produce sections of waveforms, bursts of gates, delayed vibrato, and more. The special configuration of the LFO++ makes it easy to control vibrato, tremolo and filter modulation with a wheel controller, keyboard pressure or a sequencer - great for controlling beat-count on individual sequencer steps.
The prototype being auctioned is one of a kind, with a printed label front panel and a raw, hand-soldered circuit board with some components mounted in sockets. The unit can be used in any Moog-Unit format modular synthesizer with a Synthesizers.com power system. Face plate measurements are 8.75" x 2.125" x 2.25" deep behind the panel.
Requires: +15v,-15v,+5v.
