Brass, wood and bleeps: synths for Victorians

“This is a synth that I was working on during the time of Bob Moog’s passing,” writes Mike Ford. It is housed in an old wooden speaker cab that was surplus medical equipment. The circuits are two old ray guns from circa 1979 made by Kuson toys. The guns were called Fazors.
“There are two echo delay kits from Canakit, both modded to self-oscillate. All that goes through a salvaged CPU speaker system I dug out the dumpster! There are 18 AAA batteries that power the delay units and three [x] 9v that power up the amp and toy ray guns!! This thing makes crazy sci-fi noises from hell!”
