Absolute Extremes MCBC-01 Moog Circuit Bending Akai S01

From the creators of the Ninstrument & SYNTHBOY+, Absolute Extremes brings us the MCBC-01 custom bent Akai S01 with Keith McMillen QuNeo & iPad dock (click through for more pics).

"Josh Felice and I saw the next Moog Circuit Bending Challenge and Josh suggested we enter in a custom version of the bent Akai S01 that I had done before. (Scroll down to see the original) Credit goes to Circuitbenders.co.uk for first inventing this bend. We took the original bent design and disseminated the best bends and added a few more cool and crazy features. First we have introduced a couple of square clocks that actually feed directly into the ram causing all sorts of mayhem and the other feature was to include a dock feature that would allow midi control from an iPad or QuNeo. You can also sample Animoog straight from the iPad too! I chose to design in hardwood to pay tribute to Moog and their designs. It was a lot of fun working in wood for a change. Video coming soon!"

DIY Electronic Drum Pad Unit Prototype

YouTube Published on Sep 19, 2012 by Geigertek

"A few seconds of vid testing out a DIY drum pad unit my son and I built. And yes, you can hear the sticks hitting the pads - it was done in a hurry!!!"

https://www.youtube.com/user/Geigertek/videos

via Neil Fellowes on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"This'll make you smile - I wanted a basic electronic drum kit, but alas couldn't afford one (I take sympathy well), so I made one. Out of an old wardrobe, 8 table mats and gaffer tape. It works - eat yer heart out Roland. Usual piezo transducer triggers which are fed into an Alesis DM5 drum module - oh and I couldn't resist the cheesy Simmons sounds ;-) And before anyone says anything, I know you can hear the sticks on the pads (mats) - I did the video in a hurry."

"Here is a brief demo of the Futureretro 777 monophonic analog synthesizer/sequencer and the Akai MPC-60 sampler/sequencer. The 777 is running off of it's internal sequencer and is sync'd via MIDI clock to the MPC-60. The MPC-60 has a sampled set of Oberheim DMX sounds. The delay that the 777 and drums are sent to is the Ibanez DMD2000. All are mixed on my StudioMaster mixer and sent straight to my soundcard (Native Instruments Kore 1)."

DL301 Rare Vintage Soviet Delay Reverb Flanger SN 0489

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
YouTube Published on Sep 18, 2012 by VintageShopVideo


via this auction

"Vintage soviet delay\reverb\flanger effects processor "DL-301". It was produced on the "Komcon" factory in Moscow in 1990. The factory itself "lived" only a year (1990-1991) before the fall of the USSR. The unit is EXTREMELY RARE and is hard to find by all means even in former USSR countries. The first time on Ebay, the device got all inscriptions in English, amazing sound and solid construction of a rack size.

The front panel has knobs: Input, Output, Feedback, Mix, Delay, Depth, Rate.
Buttons: Off \\ LPF / INV, Bypass, Hold, Echo \\ Flang, Range I \\ Range II, Power.

The "hold" button produces interesting sampler-like "stuttering" effect. The audio input\outputs are standart TRS 1\4 jacks. Also there is a 5din "remote" socket for connection to pedal or switch. DL-301 signal processor produces sound that differs from well-known western processor brands. Unit sounds really fantastic - very wide and clean set of effects like delay-reverb-flanger-chorus! (check the Demo section). The mains power of the unit is 220 volts. For 110v countries I`ll include voltage converter. The unit is fully tested & is in ideal 100% working condition."

Doepfer MS404 Midi Analogue Mono Synth & Signal Path Sketch

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

"These are pretty rare and offer a true analogue sound with the convenience of midi control...

MS-404 is a MIDI-controlled monophonic analog synthesizer. It takes account into the actual trend of analog sound synthesis combined with the immediate access to all sound parameters. The MS-404 is a serious alternative to the high-cost second hand vintage synthesizers.

The sound generating section of the MS-404 is 100% analog (VCO, Noise, VCF, VCA, ADSR, 2 LFO's). Even the envelope and the LFO's are pure analog and not simulated by software. The immediate access to all sound parameters is realised by 15 knobs and 6 switches. The external audio input enables the subsequent sound modeling of other sound sources like samplers, digital synthesizers or expanders.

On top of that the MS-404 works as a monophonic MIDI-to-CV interface to control another analog synthesizer. The MS-404 is capable of controlling VCF frequency and VCA envelope amount (accent) via MIDI.

MS-404 Features

- VCO
- - real VCO (no DCO)
- - switchable between sawtooth / off / rectangle (pulse)
- - pulsewidth of rectangle adjustable, pulsewidth modulation with LFO1
- - glide time adjustable, glide on/off via MIDI-Controller #65 (Portamento)
- - frequency modulation with LFO1, even in audio range for producing typical FM sounds
- NOISE
- - white noise as alternative sound source (switcheable instead of VCO)
- VCF
- - 24dB resonance filter (low pass), resonance/emphasis adjustable up to self oscillation
- - frequency may be controlled via any MIDI controller and/or MIDI velocity
- - frequency modulation with LFO2, even in audio range for metallic/FM sounds
- - keyboard tracking switchable off/half/full
(continued on following page)
- VCA
- - envelope amount (accent) controllable via MIDI volume (ctr.#7) and/or velocity
- - effect of accent adjustable (accent knob)
- Envelope
- - full ADSR type (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release)
- LFO1 and LFO2
- - 3 frequency ranges from sub-LFO (some minutes oscillation period) up to audio (max. 5kHz)
- - waveform triangle
- - frequency and level adjustable
- - LFO1: to VCO frequency or VCO pulsewidth modulation switchable
- - LFO2: VCF frequency
- External Audio Input
- - level adjustable
- - alternative sound source instead of VCO or Noise
- MIDI-CV Interface (internal):
- - MIDI channel and transpose (reference note) selectable via learn button
- - retrigger on/off (new trigger if playing legato)
- - controlling of glide on/off via Controller #65
- - controlling of VCF frequency via any Controller and/or Velocity
- - controlling of VCA envelope amount via Controller #7 and/or velocity
- - two 1/4" jack sockets for CV und Gate Output (may be changed to CV/Gate Input when changing jumpers inside by authorized dealers)
- light grey 19" housing, 1 unit"
