MOOG Source
Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.Update via mtvic in the comments:
"Actually,Robert A. did not want to sign.
Me:"Robert would you be so kind and sign my Moog The Source owners manual?"
Bob:"Oh that thing "I had nothing to do with it. But, since it is a xerox copy, I"ll sign it ."
And did.
1985"
Minimoog Brochure
Title link takes you to one more shot pulled via this auction."Original and early, 1972 Minimoog synth brochure with 4 pages and color."
CGS Sequential Switch
Via pete:"What you are listening to are 5 VCO's modulating one Thomas Henry XR 2206 VCO through the switch. I have an LFO going into the Up/Down jack. Im using an SSM2044 filter. I have some of the gate outputs going to a multiple that is feeding the gates to two EG's. One of these EG's is modulating the filter. Another gate output is going to the Cynare which is set to more of a squelchy drum sound so its
kinda hard to hear since it blends in with everything else. I'm tweaking a bunch of things while its playing like the reset switch. Enjoy the wackiness!"You can find the mp3 here. Title link takes you to the Sequential Switch page on Ken Stone's CGS.
Update: Looks like I had the wrong mp3 up. The share has been updated. The track is titled "sequential switch MP3.mp3."
Wolfram's Nightmares
Title link takes you to a track by Stefan Trippler featuring the Waldorf PPG V2, Attack VSTI, some reverb and delay. Wolfram is Wolfram Franke of Waldorf.

Sankey Keyboard?
g.m.c. sent in this image. He was told the manufacturer is Sankey. He's wondering if anyone has more info on it. If you do, please feel free to comment. I swear I've seen if not posted this particular keyboard before (if not something like it) but I came up dry on a search for Sankey, radio, and tuner.Update: Slabman found my previous post. It's the Webcor.
ZET Digital Sequencer
No title link. Just the shot and details pulled via this auction.Details:
"Sell ZET Electronics digitally to sequencers. Model MCS-1 Hab' unfortunately no information about the manufacturer still other background. The equipment has German Komunikationstexte in the display. One can provide various sequences on several traces."
If anyone knows more about this one, feel free to comment.

Preliminary Data for the Model 21C Milton Touchplate Controller
Title link takes you to the full info. Some excerpts:
Outputs:
- Gate Out - returns a 5 volt high gate when a plate is touched
- Pressure out - returns a pot adjustable variable voltage which is governed by the amount of pressure applied to any given key
- Quantized Out - returns a quantized voltage string (16 half steps) generated by the 16 touchplates
- Slew Out - returns a pot-adjustable slewed variation of the Linear Voltage output (not quantized)
- Linear Out - returns 16 linear voltages scaled to the voltage threshold of the Milton Venti VC input.
Inputs:
EXT VC - provides a secondary external VC direction input so that the Milton may still be direction controlled when the 21C is installed. Indication of the effect of this external control will be shown on the main LEDs of the Milton M21 - they will not effect the status of the 16 key LEDs on the 21C itself - those will still show the last key touched.
Manual Controls:
- Pressure Scale - sets the maximum voltage level of the pressure output
- Glide - determines the amount of slew for the Slewed Output
-Fixed/Variable Range Select - sets the main output for FIXED range (scaled for Milton stage thresholds) or VARIABLE range
-Range - determines the maximum range of the main output. Each of the 16 keys will reflect 16 equal increments of this max level.

Time to get an ASB?
According to this electro-music.com thread, Creamware filed for bankruptcy on Dec 18, 2006. There is no info on thier site.If anyone knows more about this, please feel free to comment. This is unfortunate as I hear they make some of the best emulations if not THE best out there. I had my mind set on the PRODYSSEY (12 Odysseys in a knob laden little box). It might just be time to pick one up if you've been thinking about it as well.
EMS Synthi Boards
Title link takes you to a post on EMS Synthi with a bigger image of the EMS Synthi boards over the years. He is also looking for a hi res of the 1969-72 boards. If you know where to find one leave a comment in his post.
Synth Monger's SN-Voice
Two shots of Synth Monger's Thomas Henry SN-Voice. You might recognize it from this video."It's an SN-Voice synth I made. I combined it with a cut-down version of Ray Wilson's single buss keyboard controller."
E-mu Modular
No title link. Just the shots and details pulled via this auction. This is the E-mu modular referenced in this previous post.Details:
"You are bidding on an E-mu Systems analog synthesizer main cabinet. It contains 11 filters, three oscillators, 6 VCAs, four transient generators, two preamps and a filter controller. This sale is contingent on sale of the whole system as that sale takes precedence over the items listed separately. If someone buys the whole system, and you win the bid on this piece, you don't get this piece, it goes with the whole system.
I bought this E-mu in 1976. If you don't know about these, they are the finest analog synthesizer components ever made, except for the keyboard (sorry Dave and Scott). NASA buys these oscillators for use in the space program. I have never had to re-tune the oscillators ever, as they are rock solid. By comparison, I had to re-tune my minimoog about every 6 months. There are a couple of modifications to this. I replaced the output op-amps in the VCAs with 5534 types to lower the noise level. At one time, this cabinet powered the keyboard (see other listing) but I moved the keyboard power supply to the Oberheim main cabinet.
There's not much else to say, I replaced one of the little switches on one of the VCAs. It's all stock otherwise. At 80 lbs, you will have to get this shipped by DHL, and you can calculate those charges yourself by going to DHL online and get the quote from Albany CA. You might be better off picking up the cabinet between the end of the auction and Feb 19. After that I am leaving the country, so this sale has to be AS IS.
I hate to part with my baby (I named this keyboard 'Sarah' after an old girlfriend), but I have accepted a call from the lord to go to teach music for a church school in the Kingdom of Tonga. I have taught there before and I really like it down there, so I am looking forward to this experience, but I have to fund this myself as the church has very little money to pay me. So please bid generously! Malo e lelei!"
