1990 Tyco HOT KEYZ Keytar Synthesizer Keyboard w/original strap

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"This is the 1990 Tycho Hot Keyz Keytar, a "toy" starter synth that is complete and works, still has original strap! I can't speak to the quality of its performance myself, I don't play, I traded for it at a toy show. Runs off of 6 C batteries. None of the buttons seem too tight or too loose, no cracks, sticker good, a little duge in the grooves of the speaker and the wah way lever (which has a little chrome worn off). From what I've been able to turn up, it has:

· Computerized Electronic Twin Keyboards
· Lead Riff, Accompaniment Riffs & Single Notes
· Real Stereo Output Jack
· Three Different Musical Scores
· Twin Audio Amplifier
· Voice, Envelope & Vibrato Buttons
· WAH-WAH Joystick & Two Pitch Shift Buttons
· Control Fast & Slow Tempo…High & Low Range
· Polyphonic Keyboards
· On-Off Volume Button
· 8 Effect Keys with LED Control Grid
· 8 Pre-Programmed Accompaniment Riffs
· 8 Lead Riff Keys & Single Notes"

Harmuna by Benge - All Buchla Release

"Harmuna - Exploring the Inner Reaches

Harmuna is intended as a companion piece to the previous work by Benge entitled Abstraxa. The five compositions featured on Harmuna were similarly realised on the Buchla modular synthesiser. For more information on the specific system and modules used please refer to the notes accompanying Abstraxa which can be found here: zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/abstraxa [posted here]

If Abstraxa was an exploration of the distant reaches of the sound universe, Harmuna is a journey in the opposite direction, inverting the mind’s eye and exploring the infinite space within

The Synthesiser was set up in such a way that harmonious tone-waves were layered upon themselves and rhythmic patterns built up to form the various pieces. The resulting tone poems can be experienced in various ways, for example as meditative deep-listening (i.e. with headphones) or in the background to serve as an ambient aural setting

Track Listing:
1 - Pathway (4.59)
2 - Gyrus (6.20)
3 - Cortex (7.07)
4 - Globus (5.07)
5 - Nuclei (6.48)
Total Duration (30.18)

"Another of my PS3100 videos. On this one I am modulating both Osc, Filter and the VCA with ModGen1 with a square wave and set to a slow speed. Playing on the down stroke as it were, you just get 'blips'. Some cool rhythms can be coaxed out of her this way...;c)"

"When adding in an echo, I made it more like a looper. You can record a loop, and mix in with it after the loop is setup. The sliders to mix in and fade out the looper is essentially what you need with an accurately timed echo anyway."

Not sure if this is a new synth called AlephOne in the works or if it's Geo Synth. It is from the same developer rrr00bb.

Eventide Studio, Hertfordshire, U.K.

"Eventide Studio is located in Hertfordshire and is the personal studio of new Age musician, Kevin Kendle. For me, it was a real pleasure to meet Kevin and photograph his studio as I consider him to be probably the best New Age artist in the U.K. at this time. His Eventide Studio is a place of calm and it's easy to see how he is able to create the excellent music that he does.

Kevin creates evocative soundscapes which he layers with sounds of nature, recorded near his home in the Hertfordshire countryside. Kevin has been playing music since the age of eight, producing music for theatre and production companies including the BBC. His music is used in broadcasts around the world and the Eventide Music series of albums have been featured on BBC Radio in the UK.

Here is a link to Kevin's website:

Doepfer M.A.U.S.I. - MIDI Analog Sync Interface

via PatchPierre.NET where you'll find the full post.

"The Doepfer MAUSI (MIDI-Analog / SYNC Interface) was released in 1995 (around the same time as the A-100 system) and was a MIDI-to-CV and MIDI-to-SYNC interface to control analog vintage synthesizers, bass lines and/or drum machines via MIDI.

It was a small, half 19-inch sized grey box, and until a few weeks ago, i never realized why the Doepfer MAUSI looked so familiar to me.
An email from Dieter Doepfer confirmed that not only on the outside, but also internally this module is for 95% the same as the A-190 MIDI-to-CV/Gate/Sync Interface..."

ArdCore Output Expander #2 - Random Gates

YouTube Published on May 5, 2012 by 20Objects

"This is an example video for the ArdCore Output Expander. It receives a clock signal, and creates eight random gates out of the output expander. This shows how the output expander exposes the 8-bit analog output - one bit at a time. Thus, any ArdCore sketch will produce interesting outputs from the expander. NOTE: this ArdCore is equipped with the optional switch on the A3, but it is unused in this sketch."

"This is a real secret weapon... one of the few synths out there that interfaces with a Yamaha BC breath controller through a fully analog path. This means the breath control is so smooth and sensitive you can growl and hum into it and the your voice will modulate the VCF filter. Great white noise too. Recently serviced/keyboard contacts cleaned."
