While the Harajuku, Tokyo based Five G Synth store is very well known, it took me two attempts to locate Implant 4 in Osaka – the first time I was pushed for time and had an erroneous google maps link and visited an interesting part of the city… but this time I doubled checked the location with the map on their website, bookmarked the location on my iPad & set off feeling more confident…. If you happen to be in Osaka, save this location to your google map and you can’t go too far wrong! This is the street it is located on, find the pink slug sign & go up the stairs…

ERUPTION: Moog Voyager 10dencies
10 Moogist Tricks on the Moog Voyager
Tim Tsang, demonstrates that with some modulation, you can turn you keyboard shredding into something much better. Expect explosive flurries of atonal melodic flourishes and timbral mayhem. Using a Moog Voyager, he modulates those pitches into some musical insanity. In short:
- Shred.
- Add pitch randomization with sample and hold (a lot of it).
- Filter the result.
- Hold that key trigger so you can use your fingers for something else. (Here, the Voyager’s X/Y pad.
- Route mod wheel to LFO.
- Route LFO to pitch, add more triggering, timbral modification like FM …and go all wobbly.

Synth Tease
Below is a somewhat cryptic description accompanying this video:
“This video was taken with a spy camera that was hidden in the laboratory of a mad scientist. The video was smuggled out at the cost of the lives of many good men. It contains signals and sounds from a top secret weapon of mass sound that is in development. I can’t even imagine what chaos and destruction would ensue if this device was unleashed upon the world.”
