Chinook and Moog Opus 3

Chinook is checking out his latest patch on the Moog Opus 3 by playing a low D. Submitted by Andy Excuse via our Facebook page.

We also have a more styled version of the photo.

The Opus 3 may not be the most well-known of Moog’s classic instruments, but it is a great little synth and very accessible, with separate sections for Strings, Brass, and Organ, each with its own Moog-style VCF. It’s been used by some famous bands we admire, including Kraftwerk and Stereolab.

Satie and Modular (Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, more)

Satie is once again posing handsomely atop his modular system – or rather, a modular that he shares with his fellow feline Tweek. In this view, we can see offerings from Mutable Instruments and Make Noise, and glimpses of others behind the nest of patch cords.
