This ‘Blue Serge’, which presides at VSM, has some history. The panels were built by Roy Sablosky, a student of Morton Subotnick, while studying at CalArts. The panels then made their way to Knox Bronson. Here is a quote from him: I was lucky enough to have Roy’s Blue Serge in my arsenal of synths way back when. It was a fantastic machine, a brilliant collection of modules, devoid of oscillators, suggesting a rather warped view of sound construction on his part! I had plenty... of oscillators on other panels, so it wasn’t an issue at all. The initial patch of what was to become Flight Of The Atom Bee was done on the Blue Serge. In the subsequent days and weeks I built the rest of the sounds, I used quite a number of modules, many for control voltages, others for some kind of processing. It was an alchemical, exploratory, serendipitous process Since we’ve had the panels, @dmitri.slope114 was commissioned to refurbish and supplement them. #serge #sergemodular #synthhistory #modularsynthesizer #vintagesynth #modularsynth #buchla #moog #analogsynth See more

Did you know that VSM is only open for private hourly appointments? That means you get the whole studio to yourself, or whoever you bring with you. Want some socially distanced fun in your life???...Hit us up #vintagesynth #studio #cs80 #elkasynthex #oberheim #4voice #prophet5 #ppgwave
