Kids Circuit Bending

YouTube via DrRek. Saw this on Sendling along with this more creative way of bending.

Update: Before you decide to go do this with your kids or even yourself, be sure to read the comments.

PAiA 4700/2700 Modular Synthesizer

via this auction


Details:
"This auction is for the 6 PAiA modulars cases in the picture, number from 1 to 6. These are part of my collection that I am selling. Modules have been tested and here are the details of the 6 systems. I will also include 3 PAiA 4700 keyboards, one will have the computer system, the others CV. I will also include copies of the manuals for the modules so you can do a full restoration.

I have another system that I am keeping. If you'd like to hear and see what a PAiA can do, go to www.musicofsoftware.com and look in the video section. When these systems are calibrated up they sound very close to a moog modular.

system #1: these are all pretty much 2700 modules. most of them work. one or two dont or just need calibration.

system #2: requires external psu, jack included. this cabinet is painstakingly restored and calibrated. one of the VCO square outputs is not working. everything else is good.

system #3: all modules are not tested as they are not connected to the PSU rails. the reverb needs a tank. there is no reason to suspect they dont work - they look fine.

system #4: VCO 1 not working, VCF 1 needs calibration, EG leds not working (but the EG works), PSU led not working, Reverb need tank

system #5: the 2700 VCO triangle output is dead

system #6: VCO 1 not working, VCF needs calibration, sequencer mostly works but seems to have a short. this is typical of these sequencers as there is a lot of places where shorts can happen. a short doesnt damage anything, it just makes the step sequencing unreliable so i am sure its just a matter of seeking out the shorts and fixing them."

Sequential Circuits SixTrak

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details: "This particular sixtrak includes a fully active buffering multi-output modification!! I built the modification. This allows the audio from each of the 6 voices output from a separate jack for each voice. The cool thing about the sixtrak is that it is multi-timbral so each voice can have a separate and distinct sound on it. Further, and this is the only multi-timbral SCI synth that does this: each of the parameters of each voice can be controlled with midi CC messages!! The Multi-Trak, although it has multi-outs DOES NOT support CC so you cant change the sounds in real time; the Six Trak ALLOWS this!!

The modification takes the audio off each voice and buffers with with an opamp so that its hot and clean. The mod also switches off the outputs when the unit self-tunes so you dont hear the tuning tone. The mono out still works as stock."
