SYNTHBOY+ Interface Dock for Nintendo Gameboy

"Dust off that first gen Gameboy as we have a very cool interface dock that converts the handheld gaming system into a state of the art 8 bit sound machine. There is a growing community of musicians and audio artists that are using these old gaming system sounds. We have used some of the achievements from the 8 bit community and created the SYNTHBOY+. Easy to plug into your mixer or home stereo with all of the various outputs. Midi IN/OUT makes it easy to connect to almost any keyboard. We have a limited number of units available on Kickstarter.com.

So please grab one and support the effort to save these older gaming systems and rock out to some old school Tetris sounds. This is recycling at its best. We really wanted everyone to be able to get one of these, so we went smaller and more affordable. You can even send in your working Gameboy and we will modify it for you. Thank you for your time and I hope you love the old gaming system sounds as much as we do."

Geir Jenssen's studio

flickr By Dan Correia

"Talk about minimal. Can you believe the mind that produced Substrata uses such a sparse arrangement? Two vintage analogue synths (Powertran Transcendent 2000, Oxford OSCar), one modern digital "virtual analogue" (Nord Rack 3), a mid-90s sampler (Akai S3200) and a MacBook Pro. I'm not sure what is the tiny controller, maybe an Akai nano Keyboard? Photo by Geir Jenssen."

Macbeth M3X 3 Oscillator All Analogue Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
M3X demo from ryan mead on Vimeo.


via this auction
"It's modelled after the Mini and much of the sound path and layout is the same. In addition precision vernier dials ensure you can tune the three oscillators very accurately. There are also quite a few more modulation destinations than the original and a built in Kenton Pro Solo provides excellent midi control. The result is basically a sound designer's dream. This Synth also produces the fattest, deepest bass I've ever heard.

One of only around 150 made this Synth is seriously rare. It was personally taken up to the latest production specs (their were two versions/runs) but the designer Ken Macbeth in 2004. It's in perfect working and near mint condition. The oscillators stay in tune perfectly and there's no need to calibrate it after every session. This is basically the best way of getting fat, vintage sounds without all the maintenance hassles.

Boxed Ear Mighty M5 Kontakt Sample Set

Available at Boxed Ear
(samples on site)

"The Macbeth M5 is a mighty beast, in both size and sound. It's a monophonic, three oscillator, two filter, semi-modular analogue synthesizer, crafted by master Scottish synth wizard, Ken Macbeth. These synths were made to order and are now discontinued, which makes them quite rare. Even if you have a spare $5000, finding one on the second hand market can be tricky.

The M5's sound is characterised by its full, rich bass, crystal high end and distinctly analog tone. Even the raw waveforms sound gorgeous with no filtering or modulation. Huge basses and leads, luscious pads, electric pianos, drums, one-shot effects, and crazy modular bleep and bloops are all included in this pack.

One of the pleasures of sampling such an instrument is being able to play it polyphonically, and believe us, it sounds amazing.

The Mighty M5, sometimes raw, sometimes soft and beautiful, but always full of attitude."

Casperelectronics NOVA DRONE sound and light synth

YouTube Published on Jun 17, 2012 by bubagoo

"The Nova Drone is an open source, analog experimental sound and light synth from casperelectronics.
It it can be used to create effects ranging from slowly fading drones to chaotic harmonic sequences.
The Nova Drones offers 9 potentiometers, 9 switches, 6 oscillators, 3 oscillator sync inputs and an epic 15 voltage outputs as well as 3 high current outputs for controlling external LEDs. All of the ins and outs have been routed to a prototyping breadboard at the bottom of the unit which allows for liberal experimentation and development of custom circuits. The prototyping area is especially useful for syncing the oscillators of 2 or more Nova Drones together.

Alesis Andromeda latched arpeggiator into HPF-LPF delay jam

Alesis Andromeda latched arpeggiator into HPF-LPF delay jam by CoolColJ
"Messing around on the Andromeda.

raw output directly into my audio interface - unprocessed
Dual sawtooth waves into 12db high pass filter and a 24db low pass filter in series, with a touch of filter feedback.
Delay is also from the Andromeda - mimicking tape delay

Something about the Andromeda's main outs sounds like analog tape - kinda like a Studer in sound :)"

The Uniton Swissecho 2000 Spring Reverb

via Swissdoc where you'll find additional details including some samples, the user manual, service manual & schematics.

"The Swissecho 2000 is a true stereo spring reverb with a bucket brigade delay (BBD) section to simulate the pre-delay and kind of early reflections missing in normal spring reverb systems. The BBD used is a TDA1022, actually 24 of them. They provide a delay time of 300 ms and by using a clock rate of 20.480 kHz a frequency response of about up to 10 kHz. The unit was sold with 12 TDA1022 as normal configuration, by adding some additional boards it could be extended.

The reverb tank uses 2 springs folded in a double Z configuration. The case is shielded by an anti-magnetic layer, most likely mu-metal. The tank as such looks pretty much like the tank used in the AKG BX15 reverb. I don't know if Uniton or AKG designed the tank, or who built them."

STG Soundlabs Mixer Warmth Demo

YouTube Published on Jun 16, 2012 by JohnLRice

"From STG Soundlabs site:
'The Mixer is a 5-input mixer with a transistor-based make-up gain stage and topology based on the model CP3 mixers from the modular electronic music systems built in Trumansburg NY by the RA Moog company. Its features are low noise, minimal slew, and massive asymmetric distortion on demand.'

The only reason for this video is to show folks who were asking a little of what the distortion looks and sounds like.

It's interesting to note the effect is most noticeable for sine and triangle waves, more subtle for saw-tooth waves and almost indistinguishable for square and pulse waves.

It's a very nice mixer! Get yours here:

Under the cover are circuits borrowed from the legendary Korg MS-10 and MS-20 music synthesisers. You can tap into and extend this synth easily with a basic knowledge of electronics. I have tried to make these pages easy to understand and hopefully inspire you to mod your own Monotron."

By attaching any meta object to ones finger- the notes are actuated- in this case I bought a roll or fine wire mesh- slips on the finger easy and allows for playing of other keyboards when not using the touch keys!"

"Here is a very nice example of a Roland Compurhythm CR-8000. This one was set up for the British market using 220 volts. It now comes with a brand new, heavy duty transformer that allows it to work with 110 volts (USA current). The little Chiclet buttons are notorious for intermittent operation and this rig was displaying just such symptoms. So we sent it to Gumi Electronics in Nashville (Google him) and he did his $190 (plus shipping) magic on all the buttons. It now works as new (maybe better than new). Included is a manual we downloaded and a new Roland DP-2 pedal. We got this from the guy who bought it new in England and brought it back to the US. It was then in storage for many years before it was traded in..."

Moog Opus 3 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

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

"The Chorus section for the String sound is slightly weaker than it should be. this is due to 2 of the 3 BDD chips that make the chorus board being disfunctional. (the string section along with all the other sound features on this synth are 100% functional)

The Delay fader for the modulation still works 100% efficiently but the fader seems to have been disjointed from the facia so it has to be moved with a certain degree of technique (not as smooth and practical as all the other faders)

The only original part missing is the fader cap for the string filter.

The Opus is a real joy to play and sounds unique. It was recently serviced by Gareth at Sound Service, Leeds to ensure the optimum performance from the keyboard and controls"

Looper / Glitch experiment 2 (DSI Tempest, Octatrack, Remote midi controller)

YouTube Published on Jun 17, 2012 by RoonanTV

"This is one part of a double experiment trying to make a Glitch jamsession of just one pattern on the Tempest. In this session I used an Octatrack with external controller. I used three tracks, but only one recorder. I recoreded 1 bar loops by arming the recording trigger. This way everything stays in perfect sync and you can record loops at will. Playing this loops can be done on all 8 tracks and you can modify each parameter on each steps of all tracks. It will take some time to set up some nice and glitchy stuff, but once prepeared it will be usable for a long time. This example is setup in just a few minutes. It is just a short example and not a musical statement.

The Tempest pattern is from the sound design contest: beat Ace Tone Roz"
