Casio CZ-1 61-key synthesizer

via this auction
"This is the big brother to the renowned CZ-101 which Casio released in the early 80's. The CZ-1 is the flagship of the CZ line and offered 2x the memory (64 patches plus the opportunity to have additional patches on cartridge [not included]), 8 voices each with 2 OSCs (while the CZ-101 has 4 voices).

The keyboard is touch sensitive and has aftertouch which can be bound to either VCA or modulation.

The CZ-1 has a pitch and mod wheel, inputs for volume expression pedal and a sustain foot-switch and Midi In/Out/Thru.

The Backlit LCD and dozens of discreet buttons, many bound to single functions, make editing a breeze."

At 0'30, the voice of Gilbert went before going to the Buchla in the Ems Synthi Aks emulation Ludwig Rehberg, Ems Avs Vst). The patch allows the Avs to deal with a radical voice, with very percussive effects (1'20, 2'15, and 4,33) combined with a random sequence produced by the Avs in the first two oscillators.

OP-1 Live Performance

YouTube Uploaded by djthomaswhite on Mar 20, 2011

"Okay, this one deserves a long description. I wanted to test the FM Radio out. I figured I should learn how to sample at the same time. I knew the drum sampler has 12 seconds sampling time and can cut the 12 second sample up with map points to play pieces of it across the keyboard. So, I turned on the FM radio as the record input and found the Soul Man song playing on a station. I recorded 12 seconds of it. I then mapped certain points of it to keys in the drum sampler. Then I started the Pattern Sequencer so I could sequence the samples into a 4 beat loop. Once I had 4 Pattern Sequencer tracks of the sample playing I recorded it to Track 4 of the Tape.

Then I needed a back beat. Dialed up the Drum Sampler, made a 16-step beat sequence with Pattern Sequencer and recorded it to Track 1 of the Tape.

Decided to then try the internal Microphone to see if the Tape could be used like a plain old 4-Track recorder. Yep. I recorded myself singing some Soul Man stuff to Track 2 of the Tape and overdubbed around 4 takes. Overdub is always on so you simply have to let it loop to layer your voice or other instruments. NOTE: Could make an excellent guitar looper by the way.

Track 4 of the Tape would be a second set of my vocals, this time with some sustained notes, overdubbed to thicken my cheap voice.

That was the basis if what I planned in total. But my finger accidentally hit one of the keys when I was in Tape mode. The drum sequencer was still on playing the drum pattern. Hmmm... so I changed the drum kit to the FM sample slot where the Soul Man samples were. The drum pattern made the 4 beat loop repeat every beat. I added Punch FX to filter this loop sound and assigned the G-Force motion sensor to control the filter Frequency of the Punch FX.

Add it all up with some ridiculous dance moves, arm pumping and live tweaking in my living room and you have this video. I knew this OP-1 would be cool. But I am starting to think it may be a game changer for me and my music process. Research continues. Back to the lab for more experiments..."

YAMAHA CS-15 SN 5409

via this auction

"This is a very versatile 37 key 3 octave monophonic synthesiser with higher pitch priority. It has 2 independent tuneable VCO’s producing Sine, Square or Triangle waveforms with each VCO having their own Mixer and VCF-VCA channels. There is also an in built noise generator and inputs & outputs for control volts & triggers for both VCO’s. There are controls for portamento, pitch bend & brilliance and master volume, a headphone output and high & low level audio outputs. It is a U.K. model and runs on mains voltage which is selectable for 110,130,220 or 240 volts at 50/60 Hz. (see photo No. 8)...

The non-standard silver “D-Type” connector on the back panel was fitted by me as part of a project whilst studying electronics at college. I fitted an interface to the synthesiser to emulate key presses which was driven by my own sequencer software running on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. This modification did not involve any changes to the original circuitry and I subsequently removed this interface. I left the “D-Type” connector on the back panel as I didn’t have a suitable blanking plate but there are now no internal connections to this socket. The four mounting pillars for the interface board (you might just about see them on 9th photo) were also left in place for same reason.

I have the original owners manual for the synth and an original official Yamaha service manual which contains 28 pages of full circuit diagrams, parts list, servicing and calibration information and a separate enlarged (approx 3ft. X 2ft) foldout full circuit diagram. This manual is probably more rare than the synthesiser and may be worth a fair bit on its own, however it seems like it makes sense to bundle it with the synth."

"Atomolabs Medussa Bass Synth/Sequencer

This is an interesting sequencing synthesizer. I have had it for a while, but I am not using it anymore, so I am selling to save up for somthing else I want.

You do have to program the patterns to use this synth.. It is very simple to use, but requires some patience and skill. It would be good to use in live performances or in the studio.

Here is the manual! :)

* At the bottom there is a row of four buttons, pressing the "+>" button, you can find the parameter you want to edit (pattern number, tempo, midi sync, pattern edit or save). (This is a 16-step sequencer.)
* In pattern edit, select a step with "+" or "-" and press "OK"
* Then use the pitch knob to change the pitch of the step. Use "0" to put a rest on the step. Press OK to continue for other steps in the pattern.
* Use the other knobs to customize the sound just like any synth.
* Can be triggered by external MIDI.
* Runs on 120v AC, power cord included.

Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.."

"iCircuit is the premier iPad and iPhone app for designing and experimenting with circuits. Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits and features realtime always-on analysis. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers.

You use it as you would any CAD program: you add elements, connect them together, and set their properties.

But iCircuit is unlike other CAD programs because it is always simulating. It's just like working with the real circuit. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend a lot of time configuring reports. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on!

There are over 30 elements you can use to build your circuits. The app has everything from simple resistors, to switches, to MOSFETS, to digital gates.

The app features a multimeter that you use to probe around the circuit to instantly read voltages and currents. If you want to see how a value changes over time, then you can add values to the built-in oscilloscope. The scope can simultaneously track many signals over time and features a touch interface to control the total time displayed and stacked and unstacked modes to easily compare signals.

Supported elements include:

* Signal generators, Voltage sources, and Current sources
* Resistors, Capacitors, and inductors
* Manual SPST/SPDT Switches, and SPST/SPDT relays
* Diodes, BJ Transistors, and MOSFETs
* Speakers, Buzzers, and LEDs
* ADCs, and DACs
* Logic gates: AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR
* JK and D Flip-flops

* Because iCircuit is a very CPU intensive application, it is recommended that you only use it on newer generation hardware including: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPads. However, it will still function on the older hardware."

Roland TR-707 Circuit Bent Drum Machine

via this auction

"professionally circuit bent by the guys at CircuitBenders.co.uk...

Listen to some MP3 examples of the sounds this beast can make!
http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk/drummachine/TR707.html

Here is a list of the additions:

18 Way 3.5mm Jack Patchbay
Connections made between sockets on the patchbay cause distortion, ring modulation, sound swapping, modulation and otherworldy alien effects to be applied to the sounds. Each 3.5mm patchbay socket is home to a certain audio process or effect which either combines with the effect from another socket when they are patched together, or sometimes just produces an entirely new effect you've never heard before. Multiple simultaneous connections may also combine in unexpected ways to produce a brand new unexpected effect, giving you a virtually unlimited number of warped alterations and audio mutations. The only limit on the number of connections you can make at any one time are how many sockets and patch cables you have available. Connections can be made at any time or even switched in and out using the patchable switches.

2 x 3 Way patchbay multipliers
These are the 2 sets of 3 sockets to the left of the cartridge port. They further multiply the creative possibilities of the machine by allowing you to connect more than one plug to the same patchbay source.

2 x 3 Way Distortion Switches
These switches on the top right of the machine offer four types of distortion from mild over-driven crunch up to all out electro grinding. Each switch also has an off setting in the centre. You may want to go easy on the top switch as the distortion available is absolutely brutal.

2 x Patchable Switches
Four plugs and two switches on the top left enable you to route a plug from the patchbay to one of these sockets and then from the adjacent socket back into the patchbay. This effectively allows you to find two patchbay settings you like and then turn them on and off at the flick of a switch without having to keep re-patching.

HiHat Decay Knobs
The knobs in the bottom right corner control the decay of the Open and Close Hats, giving you much more control over the hats in your performance.

Audio Input Socket
Last, but by no means least is the audio input jack socket on the right hand edge of the machine. When a plug is inserted, the Hi-Hat sound is removed from the mix and replaced with the audio input controlled by the Decay Knobds detailed above."

"The Swarm" Free Noise Drone Synth

YouTube Uploaded by Resodeus on Mar 9, 2011

"It gets loud at moments, so watch your speaker volume : A demo of the new free standalone synth "The Swarm". Rather unique compared to most other free synths available (Mac too!). I really enjoy the deep tone. Inspired by Leon Dewan's "The Swarmatron". A good alternative for people who don't have several thousand dollars readily available. Obviously, this is no substitute for the real analog version but it does give the user a taste of the massive power of 8 Saws layered and detuned a bit from a central tone. Leon makes some of the most unique analog pieces around. Kontrolled by a Korg "NanoKontrol"

An impressive piece of code.
