Vintage 80's Stepp DGX midi guitar Synthesizer
via this auction "In 1986 this was one of the most EXPENSIVE and advanced midi controllers money could buy. The possibilities are pretty endless with this controller. Each string can be assigned to its own midi channel/function. There is a switch on the front that allows you to disengage the strum strings and tap/"hammer on" only. If you are into programming you will be surprised how much control you have over every function of this machine. The only real alternative to this is the Synthaxe which was an even more expensive instrument and a little awkward to play (but also an amazing instrument in its own way). I still like them both, but prefer the Stepp. I remember reading an interview in Electronic Musician in the 80's where David Torn preferred the Stepp because it was more like playing an electric guitar. Even the whammy bar has a fantastic realistic action. David said in an interview that the Stepp was the first guitar synth on which he did not have to compromise his playing. He said with the Roland stuff he felt he had to compromise too much and did not take the plunge into guitar synths until the Stepp."

MB16XLC1_Test1.AVI

You might recognize the top circular sequencer from this auction post.
"This is the 1st test of the MB16XLC1, it has so many options I had to remember the settings. lol, but I will post another re-fined one, this was just a quick sound check and setup for this.
There is a timing output on both of the clocks, that can be feed into either channel via A or B Input. I am only running one oscillator in channel B and then out of B into A/In, then A/Out to the VCO.
This has 1 master clock, 2 sub dividers that splits the clocks by 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X and 10X. Either of the banks A or B and run in snyc with one another or individualy.
Each bank of 16 has it's own scan and return control switch, "right side" and there is a divider control that counts 1 thur 10 (Control switch Selected) and that is feed into either of the Timing Switch Selector switches.
On the Input select switches you can take the output of either of the A or B timing output and send it back into the control. This will allow for a ratcheting effect.
All of the 32 channels can be turned on or off, or used as a jump off point for the other."

Madrona Labs to Demonstrate the Soundplane at Decibel Festival
"Madrona Labs will demonstrate the Soundplane at this year’s Decibel Festival, Sept. 28-30 in SeattleThe new Soundplane instrument from Madrona Labs, three years in the making, will be demonstrated live at this year's Decibel Festival in Seattle. The Soundplane gives performers intimate control over computer-made sounds. The Soundplane detects a wide range of pressure on its hardwood surface, from a light tickle to very firm pressure, and sends that information over a USB connection. It can be configured as either a 150-note keyboard with x, y and pressure sensing on each key, or as one continuous pressure-sensing surface.
The Soundplane goes beyond the capabilities of any MIDI keyboard. It transmits x, y and pressure data for every key continuously at 12 bits of resolution and about 1000 samples per second, letting players move beyond the ADSR envelope model of synthesis and articulate each note individually, as on an acoustic instrument.
At Decibel 2011, festival goers will be able to spend quality time with a Soundplane prototype in an ongoing, hands-on demo. The demonstrations will be in the Fred Wildlife Refuge, at 127 E. Boylston, from noon to 5 pm, Wednesday September 28 through Friday September 30. Admission to the demonstrations is free. Pricing and availability for the Soundplane will be announced during the festival.About Madrona Labs:
Madrona Labs makes hardware and software for computer music. The company was founded in 2009 by Randy Jones, who has been writing and shipping software tools for creative expression since 1998. Randy and his colleagues are driven to create electronic instruments that can be at least as expressive as acoustic ones. More information is available on the website at http://madronalabs.com."

Rare AMSTARD CKX100 Glitch Synthesizer By Dave Squidfanny
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Prior videos here and here.
"The Amstrad CKX100 is a rare digital artefact from the late 1980's made by home computer manufacturers Amstard. It has a distinctive lo-fi sound and uses WAVETABLE synthesis to produce a warm, pleasing and ultra-harmonic sound which is quirky and very unique.
The CKX100 has grainy Digital Drums with preset Rhythms & Accompanyment, Electronic Sounding Instruments & Lush Chord with some very useful 'Computer Aided Harmony' Features (similar to the OMNICHORD).
In addition to it's very likable sound, the machine has a simple 'Play & Record' sequencer and a 'tape save' function for storing recorded data on a cassette tape (remember those?). It also has a MIDI output which allows the Keys, and the Computer Chord functions to control other MIDI gear.
Of course the real power of the CKX100 is only revealed after some serious Circuit Bending.......
Needless to say, various new circuitry and dynamic new features have been added to the the CKX100 to upgrade it's sonic capabilities well beyond what was imagined by the original engineers.
This machine works perfectly and can be used 'as stock' if required.
Internal Speakers have been removed and replaced with a stunning array of new Custom Knobs, Switches, Buttons and Flashing Lights. New Controls are mounted of beautiful Green PCB (circuit board), and adorned with Shiney Metal Pieces, Round Washers and a Black Metal Cog.
Glitch-Punk Style......
Metallic Keys are professionally painted in various shades and multiple colours of top quality Metallic Paint. The paintwork has been performed with a speckled effect on the white keys in multiple shades of Titanium, Green & Blue. Black Keys are now Gold.
Paintwork is sealed with high quality gloss lacquer to protect the finnish.
Obviously the machine looks fantastic, but the real power is in the stunning array of unique sounds which this Amstrad is now able to produce. The machine's Ultra-Harmonic WAVETABLE synthesis engine creates a warm, pleasing sound, which when combined with the array of Digital & Glitch Mods, produces distinctly electronic tones which range from dreamy Psycedellic to Sinister darkside, and from 'Aphex' style beat juggling to insane Glitch & Dischord and eventually going way beyond the realms of conventional synthesizers, and often beyond description. This is the power of Glitch...
The new Knobs / Switches / Buttons & Lights are mounted on Thick Green PCB (circuit board), and the Flashing LED Lights above are mounted on a Rusty Matel Piece with Chrome LED Holders.
The Mods are activated and controlled by an assortment of Rotary Switches, Metal Toggle Switches and Push buttons -
Large Rotary Knob - On the right of the panel is a large Silver Rotary Knob, with a toggle Switch below it and a Bi-colour LED Light in a chrome bezel. This knob contains 22 flavours of Digital Ring Mods, Weird Distortion, Digital Filtering and Frequency Oscillation. Use the (on/off/on) Toggle Switch to activate the sounds, the LED light will Glow Red/Green to indicate that the mod is active.
Small Rotary Knob - In the centre of the panel is a small silver Rotary Knob, along with a Toggle Switch and a Blue LED Light in a Chrome Bezel. This knob contains 9 x Instrument / Chord Glitches which provide Beuatiful Complex Arpeggios, Strange Echos, Luch Chords and Extrended Envelope Effects. Use the Toggle Switch to activate the mod. The Blue LED Light will Glow to indicate the mod being active.
6 x Glitch Switches on the left of the panel - Use these switches on the Chord / Accompanyment for Dark Electronic Techno-esque rhythm Accompanyment and de-tuned chords. Use with the drums for weird pitch shifting and drum shifting Rhythmic effects.
Glitch Buttons - Scramble the Digital Circuits with dramatic sonic results. . . Use with the drums for Granular Effects and Grinding 'Aphex' Style Rolls. Use with the Chord / Instrument to generate Chorded Drones, Digital Noise, Instrument/Drum Cross Modulation & General Havok and Glitch Chaos.....
RESET BUTTON - Small Green Button below the right corner of the panel is used to Instantly reset Glitched sound back to it's normal state. This button allows the user to completely Scramble, Mangle & Corrupt the audio beyond recognition, and then instantly return the sound again.
Flashing Lights - 3 x Flashing LED Lights above the panel will pulse and flash along with the sound. The lights are housed in chrome bezels and mounted on a rusty piece of engineered metal..... Modern LED's are used, the colours are BLUE, WHITE & GREEN. The White LED also indicates the instrument's Vibrato when active."

707 DS8 FM Synth ROM PSU-101 ROM Card Factory Programs
via this auction
"Rare Card for 707 DS8 FM Synth ROM PSU-101 ROM Card Factory Programs
This is a Korg ROM card, for use with the "CARD" bank, on the Korg FM synthesizer, the 707. It is in very good condition, and works for the FM keyboard that's the little brother to the DS-8, the 707 Performance Synthesizer. These are the original Factory set of sounds loaded into the 707 from Korg. These are probably long since lost for many people, since this is a late 80's synthesizer, so with this they are easily found again!
The card can be accessed right from your front panel, with no need to load them into memory, thereby allowing you to keep whichever sounds you like in the internal RAM memory, AND this excellent ROM card in the card slot. You can also split and layer them with the internal sounds, make new conbimations, etc. The card will come with it's original sound list as well."
MeeBlip micro debuts at Toronto Workshop
via Create Digital Music:"In Toronto this Friday, we’ll be connecting with InterAccess Gallery in a celebration of DIY, adventurous music making, and blipping synthesizers. It’ll also be the first public debut of the new MeeBlip micro, a pocket-sized version of our MeeBlip open source hardware synth. Part of why I’m excited to be hacking away with the fine folks of Toronto is that we’ll be able to document that new design and what you might make with it for everybody else. The MeeBlip micro and revised MeeBlip se will be coming very soon to everyone.
What’s the MeeBlip micro? It’s the brains of the monophonic, MIDI-capable, hackable virtual analog MeeBlip synth, without the knobs and switches. It does still have MIDI and USB, so you can program it by connecting to a computer, and transmit MIDI over standard cables. It also has analog and digital pinouts so you can use it to try out novel sensors or build it into a sound art installation or wearable Kilt of Synthesis. We’ll be making the first-ever micros in the workshop and starting to play with them..."
