A6 Gorgeous ARP Sequence
"Gorgeous Arpeggiator sequence on the Alesis Andromeda!
I've been experimenting with using the red noise to oscillator linear FM, and it adds a lot of life to the sound, without wasting an LFO to do the same. Around 0.5 to 0.75 is enough. The difference is pretty dramatic, suddenly the oscillators don't sound "static" anymore
Latched arpeggiator sequence.
A single PWM oscillator, then doubled up in the middle, and then back to single. 24db Moog filter used. The delay is also from the Andromeda."
1978 Roland Jupiter 4 Compuphonic
via this auction"It was one of the first poly synthesizers (4 individual voices, which could be synced together for one phat monophonic lead), it has a pitch wheel that could be assigned to the VCA, VCF, VCO or all together."
Hohner Bass 2 and Bass 3 comparison

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com gets two great specimens of the Hohner Bass line side by side. I actually don't know if a bass 1 was released... I don't see any immediate information anyway searching. I've only prior worked on the Bass 3 I think. This is the first Bass 2 I've seen so I assume it's fairly rare."

Ghostbusters!
"As a synthesizer enthusiast, i was immediately drawn to the Subdecay Octasynth. Featuring a unique envelope function, the Octasynth stands in a class of it's own in a world of ordinary octave pedals. The Octasynth has the ability to bring you the Bass synth tones of yesteryear, blue box like glitch lower octafuzz and standard, smooth poppy octave heard in hundreds of popular tracks on mainstream radio! The key to unlocking the different tones in the Octasynth is how well it responds to different playing dynamics. Try palm muting and playing softly to bring out the Octasynth's envelope! It'll make you feel like a real synth player!!
Pick one up at www.prymaxevintage.com TODAY!
Note: The Octasynth was only used for the bass synth on the ghostbusters track. I used the 320Design's Landmighty for rhythm and lead guitars."
via this auction"Bask in the illuminating glory of the Octasynth!!! Taste the synthy goodness! (we do not actually recommend ingesting the Octasynth)
This pedal with streamlined controls converts your guitar signal in to three octaves of square waves singing in unison, then sends them through a resonant filter. The end result is reminiscent of a vintage analog synthesizer… or in some cases a malfunctioning analog synthesizer.
The Octasynth reacts to your guitar and playing style. Tracking is usually best with the neck pickup. For some guitars it may help to roll the treble back a little too. Some experimenting with your playing style may be needed to really get full use out of this pedal. Palm muted runs can yield anything from funky bass stabs to staccato sequences. Let the notes ring for some sub bass thump or dreamy filter sweeps.
The Octasynth takes a “blunt instrument” approach to create synthesizer sounds. The filter is controlled by the depth knob AND how hard you pick each note. As a note fades away the filter sweeps lower and lower. This can trail notes off gracefully with the right settings and playing style.
The Octasynth is 100% analog. The Octasynth is MONOPHONIC. It will only track one note at a time. Power chords can sometimes create a musical, but glitchy effect. Diminished 9th chords… not so much. They just splatter and make a mess. Don’t try this on the carpet.
Controls:
The Octasynth’s controls are tailored to creating a sound quickly. No endless tweaking required.
Blend- A mix control for 3 octave voices. To the left, two octaves down. To the right, one octave. In the center a mix of all three.
Depth- The range of the filter. As this knob is turned to the right each note you play pushes the filter cutoff frequency higher. This control can be a bit touchy, especially in the lower range. When turned all the way down the filter stays below audible frequencies (i.e. there will be no sound at all.) It needs to be turned up at least a little bit for any audible effect. This design allows the filter to trail off to ultra low frequencies, which can make notes trail off gracefully rather than sputtering out.
Res- Resonance/Feedback for the filter. Turned to the right the cut off frequency of the filter is intensified. Turned all the way to the right the filter will approach near oscillation.
Level- Total output volume.
The Octasynth is tuned for electric guitar. We do NOT recommend the Octasynth for use with Bass guitar."

Roland CR-78 Drum Machine
YouTube Uploaded by wavygraves on Jul 15, 2011
"Demoing my Roland CR 78.
Mostly playing around with rhythm selections (incl. A/B variations), voice cancel, tempo, automatic fills, automatic fading, etc."
via this auction"The Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm, a classic analog Rhythm Machine and the first to use a microprocessor to allow programming of own patterns. It has 34 built in preset rhythm patterns and offers 14 drum tones. The CR-78 allows to combine 2 rhythms. Also you can cancel bassdrum, snare, cymbal, cowbell / claves. A little mixer allows adding guiro, cymbal and metal beat. With 11 variation effects and the ability to adjust tempo, accents and fade in/outs, the CR-78 is still capable of producing a wide variety of rhythms.
The Roland WS-1 programmer was designed to program the CR-78, but you can also use a Korg MS-20 or even a simple footswitch. You can program 2 bar patterns one voice at a time and up to 4 voices can be simultaneously played. Each of the four voices can be independently muted from the front-panel. Patterns can also be set to fade-in/out. The CR-78 has external trigger using 24ppq V-Trig clock pulse.
You don’t need a TS-1 write switch to program the CR-78. Any CV converter will do as long as it has a clock out. Instructions for programming are found here: http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=608 (he uses a Korg ER-1 but its much easier using a computer)."

Kenton MIDI USB Host - USB MIDI with No PC
via Kenton"USB Host to MIDI converter for 'Class Compliant' USB MIDI Devices
Your USB device is plugged into the USB MIDI Host instead of into a computer. It provides MIDI In & Out sockets for USB MIDI keyboards and controllers which have only a USB B type socket. For example, used with a USB-Solo, it allows the USB-Solo to be used in a standard MIDI setup, just like a Pro-Solo. It has a USB Host port (USB A type socket), a MIDI In and a MIDI Out (both 5 pin DIN).
MIDI data received at the MIDI In socket will be sent to the USB device. MIDI data received from the
USB device will be sent to the MIDI Out socket.
The attached USB MIDI device MUST be 'Class Compliant'.
The MIDI USB HOST is powered by a regulated 5V mains adaptor (supplied), and can supply up to
500mA of buss power to the attached USB device."
