Mystery Rhythm Machine - Barns & Mullins Percussionet 20

This one in via LT. If you have more info on it, please leave a comment or email (icon bottom right of site).

"I recently picked up an old rhythm machine at an estate sale, It's called a Percussionet 20, made by Barns & Mullins, London, England.

I think it may be rare because I could not come up with any info about this unit online anywhere, even tried Emailing Barns & Mullins twice, but they never responded.

Perhaps one of your readers may have some info about this oddity.

It will play all of the rhythm styles such as ( Fx - Foxtrot, Tw -Twist, Ch - Cha Cha, Tg- Tango etc.) at the same time, so you can combine various rhythms, also you can select and de-select the individual instruments in the rhythms such as: Snare, Tom Tom, Side, Bass, Bongo etc.

Rear has Hi and Lo output and ¼ " footswitch input that starts and stops the rhythms.

Add some verb and delay or modulation effects and it sounds pretty incredable.

As usual, Charlotte the cat has her own thoughts about my Percussionet 20, see attached photos."

"For sale is my much loved Roland EF-303 Groove Effects. Much more than just DJ or studio effects box. I used it mainly as a step sequencer. It’s also a TB-303 emulator as well. Unusual piece of gear that has 3 main uses. The effects have great real-time control and are very usable. The step sequencer is great for adding that analogue sequencer feel to your MIDI gear. It’s in good condition..."

Linn 9000 Vintage Drum Machine SN 350898 Sequencing Minitaur

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Linn 9000 Linndrum Drum Machine and MIDI Sequencer w Minitaur

Published on Dec 10, 2012 by ar2jr - Minitaur comes in after 3:47.

"Showing off the legendary Linn 9000 currently for sale and showing the not much discussed sequencer side of it which is incredible. Listen to that lively timing! This was what eventually led to the MPC. This has the 6.62 Forat OS which gives you an additional 60K for sampling from the floppy."
This one in via Matia.

via this auction

"This one is packed with lot's of amazing features. It has the FORAT 6.62 OS which allows this machine to load samples into memory and FIXES ALL THE BUGS normally associated with the Linn 9000. It's been furnished with brand new batteries and all of the pads work completely. They are quick to trigger and feel incredible. This is what an MPC should feel like. This unit has the trigger inputs and also the SMPTE card but it does NOT have the sampling A/D card HOWEVER you can load samples via floppy or burn EEPROMS. Contact bruce Forat and he can make you a custom Linn LM 1 set.

The kick drum is also not the standard Linn 9000 kick but is instead Kick 7 which is the superior kick that was put in after the machine had been on the market and people complained about the lackluster factory kick.

Also, because this is the Forat OS, the sequencer is GREATLY expanded and is basically what the MPC sequencer should have been with better timing and FEEL than anything else out there. The sequencer includes comprehensive sequencing over 16 channels, step edit mode or live record, and a comprehensive song mode. MIDI SEQUENCES CAN BE DIFFERENT LENGTHS THAN DRUM SEQUENCES! What this means is that you could come up with a drum groove and play a melodic arrangement that is of a different bar count than your drums!"

Frostwave Fat Controller CV/Gate MIDI Synthesizer Sequencer

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

via this auction

"Forget paying 2k for an ARP Sequencer. The classic and rare Frostwave Fat Controller sequencer is similar and has all of its features and way more and is much more rock solid time wise and sync wise. The last one on here went for $700, they've sold for up to $1000 given their rarity and popularity. These are long out of production.

The reason that this one is only 550 is that one slider cap is missing and one nut in the back is also missing. This was the condition I bought it in. But it works and comes with its power adaptor which is important as it's not your standard power adaptor. And while it's not in absolutely perfect shape it is still in very good condition..."

Elektron Analog Four dirty techno jam

Published on Dec 10, 2012 by Jimmy Myhrman

"Just a really quick video filmed with the phone while having lots of fun processing the Machinedrum though the Analog Four. Turning a beat into mayhem in seconds =) Just one synth voice was used to add some spice over the beats, and one synth voice was used to trash the incoming audio with LFO-filters and overdrive."

The MOOG top slides are missing their plastic knobs. The MOOG portion (upper keyboard) also make noise and the flip switches on the top panel all move freely. Once again, it turns on and plays normally...for how long is anyone's guess."

Incorporating the filter from the Roland System 700 and offering a wealth of features, it stands as one of the iconic Roland monosynths. This is due to its oscillator power/flexibility, modulation options, punchy envelopes and sound processing capability."
