"The Oramics machine is the creation of Daphne Oram, the first director of the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop and a central figure in the evolution of electronic music.

'Forget everything you've ever known about synthesizers. This machine has no piano keyboard or anything like that. It looks like the sort of thing that a mad inventor would make in his shed.'" [her shed - mad inventor Daphne Oram below left]

"Width 12HP

VCO is a single VCO laid out in a similar way to the VCO section you would find on a monosynth. VCO includes a glide (slew) function, so this is a great bonus. The VCO can go down to low frequencies so they can be used as an LFO.

Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) in general

The VCO or signal generator, commonly found on most music synthesizers consist of an exponential amplifier, a resettable integrator and waveshaping circuitry. 'Voltage Controlled Oscillator’ means an oscillator whose frequency can be controlled by an external voltage.
A VCO is responsible for the pitch of a sound and its basic timbre. Most VCOs will offer a variety of wave forms. Some VCOs offer the facility to alter the pulse width of a square wave either manually or with a voltage (pulse width modulation).

Tune, Glide, PW, Saw Level, Square Level.

Arctic Keys for iOS Now Available


"Arctic Keys – setting a new standard in cool sounds

A Hardware quality synthesizer accessible to all on iPad

Arctic Keys is a virtual analog synthesizer for iPad that delivers audio quality equivalent to that of high cost hardware options. Featuring a classic dual-oscillator subtractive synthesis design that gives you sound creation flexibility, with an easy to use user interface that just wants to be tweaked. Whether you’re a music professional or a passionate novice, Arctic Keys enables you to create cool, smooth sounds, The formula is simple – Tweak, Perform, Share.

Tweak. With all the synthesizer parameters immediately available on one page, you get instant feedback as you tweak. The two low frequency oscillators (LFOs) each have three modulation destinations. Each LFO may be free running or synched to tempo and the timing rate adjusted. The modulation matrix allows for deep routing between the Mod Wheel, aftertouch and 16 x 4 analog-style gated step-sequencer. Quickly change pages to edit effects and sequences.

Perform. The classic arpeggiator is complimented by the 16 x 4 gated step-sequencer. Play a note to trigger the sequencer. Step through a sequence to play short melodic lines or let it modulate the synthesizer. The different key gating options may be used to change how the sequence is triggered. Each of the four tracks has an assignable modulation destination and loop point. Along with traditional Pitch and Mod Wheels, adjust the velocity by tapping along the length of the key from top to bottom. Change the key mode to mono for retro lead lines. Adjust the size of the keyboard to suite your style or use a gesture to scroll through the octaves. Place the keyboard into Pitch mode and use multi-touch gestures to bend individual notes, while sliding up and down the keys to add aftertouch.

Share. The live phrase recorder lets you save your performances as 44.1KHz 16-bit WAV files and as a Standard MIDI File. The MIDI File includes all the knob control change information along with the notes you play. Use Sonoma AudioCopy or Intua Audio Sharing to paste recorded audio directly into other apps. From within Arctic Keys, email the patches you make, then open them directly and save into your patch library or share them with Wi-Fi and iTunes File Sharing.

Key features at a glance
• Alias-free analog modelling oscillators
• 16x4 gate step-sequencer with deep modulation routing
• Effects processors including EQ, distortion, chorus, and stereo delay
• Multi-touch performance oriented keyboard with pitch bend, velocity and aftertouch
• Real-time phrase recorder with audio, MIDI, and patch file sharing
• CoreMIDI support with Virtual MIDI Ports

via the listing: "Here is my new Rev4 DIODE VCF. I also had Pro Panels made. This filter has a 10-stage Diode Ladder. It sounds so sweet! This is the best Diode Ladder VCF so far, and to top it off 6hp!!

These were built by me and are new. I tested each one myself and they are good to go. This auction price is Per Unit Cost. So (1) Diode VCF is $125.00
This is a small run of around 20 units. Get'm while there hot. They will probably go fast so don't wait to long.


Specs:
--------------------------------------------
(1) DIRECT CV Input
(1) FM Bi-polar Attenu-Inverter (+&- CV Input)
(1) FILTER OUTPUT
(1) EACH--HP/LP/BP inputs

There is a trim pot to adjust how much screech you want on the Rez pot. You can make it Squelchy or tame it down.

----I include a 10 PIN to 16 PIN IDC ribbon cable for you to connect to your Euro Compatible Modular Case. I use the Red Stripe is (-12v) standard. Please pay attention when connecting the unit yourself. If connected wrong you will fry the IC chips and see smoke.

The standard is as follows: -12v GND GND GND +12v. On a Doefper system the red strip usually will be on the bottom. On my modules the red stripe is on the top. All I did was rotate the standard connector on my PCB modules.

The panel is made of a High Grade PCB material with White Silk-screening done by a Pro PCB manufacturer. I had to include these costs on this newer unit."

Arp OMNI 2 String Synthesizer

via this auction
via the listing: "1977 Arp Omni 2 Analogue Synthesizer. This synth produces some of the most amazing and iconic synth string sounds there are. Similar in sound to the Arp Solina but souped up with extra features such as a synth section featuring the Arp 4072/5 filter as used in the late Arp Odyssey and Arp 2600. It also has a phaser mode, hollow sound feature, split keyboard with amazing bass synth sounds, and much more in the way of connectivity such as seperate outs for each section, XLR out and so on.

Believe me this would not being going anywhere If I did not already own an Arp Quadra. It is one of my all time favourite synths. This model is probably most famous for being the synth used on nearly all Joy Divison tracks that feature synth such as Love will Tear Us Apart, Atmosphere etc and most of the Closer album."

Circuit Bent BUDDHA MACHINE

via this auction

"Up for auction is a circuit bent BUDDAH MACHINE unit. It has 6 different sound loops of bells and male and female chanting voices. They sound amazing when you drop the pitch and touch the body contacts!

I have add 2 body contacts,a pitch pot with ball knob to turn the pitch waaaaay down for amazing drone sounds and it has a 1/8" output with volume control for headphones or to send the signal to an amp or stereo system.

There is an internal speaker so you can use it without an amp. When you plug into the jack to send the sound to an amp, the internal speaker is switched off.

A great source for sampling sounds or for use live on stage. The size of this unit is approx.4" x 2" x 1.5". It uses 2 ``AA`` cells,not included.

The unit you are bidding on, it is fully circuit bent, tested and packaged and ready to ship the next day after i receive payment, so you receive it in a few days. It will look the same as the one in the picture but the pitch ball knob will be a slightly different multi-color.

I have been making and selling strange electronic instruments and circuit bent creations for 29 years. I have been selling on ebay for 10 years. I only use high quality new switches and wire and other electronic components in my circuit bent units. So if you are looking for a quality circuit bent instrument that looks great and sounds even better, look no further, you have found it.

Here is a list of the circuit bent features:
- 2 body contacts that change the pitch and tone of the sound when you touch them.
- 1 Pitch change pot with ball knob to drop the pitch waaaaay down for amazing drone sounds.
- 1 1/8" audio output jack to send the signal to an amp or stereo system.

This unit will work as normal with all bending controls off.This unit is designed for recording sounds in the studio. It can make some amazing sounds and drones! It makes sounds that you can't get from any other instrument! Great for techno, sound FX, electronic music."
