"Manufacturer Description:
"The Minitaur has all the growl, snarl and body associated with the Taurus family of bass synthesizers. We’re really excited to be able to offer this in such a compact package that is both immediately playable as an extremely versatile analog synth and also integrates seamlessly into the world of MIDI and USB control environments,” says Cyril Lance, Chief Engineer of Moog Music.
The Taurus Bass Pedals enjoy a nearly 40-year history and have made a seismic impact in the music world since their introduction in the mid-Seventies. “The Taurus opened up so many possibilities for me…it also opened up a whole way of looking at what I do,” says Geddy Lee, of the multi-platinum band Rush.
In 2009, Moog Music released the Taurus 3 Bass Pedals, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Taurus Bass Pedals. The Taurus 3 is currently used by artists such as The Black Keys, Animal Collective, Jean Michel Jarre, Yes, Weezer, Rush, and The Dave Matthews Band.
Since the inception of Moog Music, Bob Moog tested his ideas, instruments and sounds on musicians as a key part of the product development process. In keeping with this tradition, Minitaur has been presented to a broad array of producers, artists and songwriters including Geddy Lee of Rush, techno legend Derrick May, Flying Lotus, Moby, Holy F*ck and renowned record producer Nick Raskulinecz as a part of the final product development process. The enthusiastic response from these artists marks the beginning of the next generation in the Taurus Bass Synthesizer line.
Minitaur Features:
Two oscillators with Sawtooth (Original Taurus) and Square wave-shapes for each VCO. Recreate sounds of the original Taurus with sawtooth waves, or create new sounds with square waves or a combination of both.
2 Mixer VCAs for VCO levels control of Oscillators 1 and 2.
Moog Ladder Filter with adjustable resonance, designed to deliver ‘classic Taurus 1 and 3 bass and boom’.
Two Minimoog style ADSR Envelope Generators for modulating VCF and VCA. The Decay and Release segments are controlled by the Decay knob, while the Release segment is enabled or disabled via Release On/Off switch.
Midi-syncable LFO with Controls for Rate, VCO LFO Amount, and VCF LFO Amount DIN MIDI and MIDI over USB offer complete control of the Minitaur’s sound engine.
Analog Control inputs for Pitch, Filter, Volume and Gate. Use an EP2 or CV to connect and control MInitaur with everything from Modulars to Moogerfoogers.
External audio input for processing external audio through the Mixer and Filter section of Minitaur.
Headphone output with 1/8" connection."

via this auction
"A 100% analogue audio signal path
The Persephone markII has two analogue oscillators with a waveform from triangle to saw, going from 1 Hz to more than 20 000 Hz. An analogue resonant 12dB low-pass filter inspired from the filters from the 70s-80s enables to shape the sound. With its entire analogue audio signal path, the Persephone markII can generate notes with a continuous variable range up to ten octaves to create deep and resonant cello tones on the lowest notes to ultrasonic frequencies on the highest pitches. An optical modulation key will transmit the slightest vibration for expressive modulations.
8 factory routings, 8 users routings: a modular architecture
16 routing presets enable to select different routing architectures between the sound parameters and the 7 controls available (ribbon pressure, ribbon position1 & 2, key, pedals 1 & 2, LFO) for 8 destinations (lo pitch, hi pitch, filter, VCA lo, VCA hi, filter mod1, filter mod2 and VCA). 8 presets are fixed and 8 are editable users presets configurable thru a free software. Users routing presets will be stored in the Persephone2 internal memory. This new section significantly increases the instrument control and modulation possibilities.
Compatibility with computer music environment
The A/D conversion is made with Eowave ESS DSP. This process assures a 12 bits resolution (4096 values) conversion for an accurate musical gesture. It’s 100% MIDI compatible and uses USB full speed 12 Mb/s. This makes the Persephone2 compatible with all MIDI compatible softwares whilst the latency is reduced at less than 1,5ms.
A smart controller
With a complete I/O section featuring 4 CV out, 2 pedals in, MIDI in & out, audio out, USB (MIDI), the Persephone markII can be turned into a powerful and unique controller to control most of your analogue or digital synths.

Demo of Elektron Analog Four, Roland TR-707, by Jordan Passmore
Published on Feb 22, 2013 Jordan Passmore·47 videos
"This demo is of the Elektron Analog Four, a four voice analog synthesizer/sequencer and the Roland TR-707 drum machine. The Elektron is doing all the tones here and of course, the 707 is playing the drums. In terms of effects, there is a slight bit of analog delay and chorus on the 707's snare. Otherwise, all effects used are the ones built into the Elektron (it's reverb and delay were used on this project). The mixer is an Alto AMX-220. The master of that was then sent to an Electra EQ, then finally to my soundcard. No post-processing, compression, etc was used.
I am having lots of fun with the Analog Four. It excels very well as modulated and filtered textures. It sounds very different than other analog synths I have owned in the past and the sequencer is (of course) fantastic. All tones here were programmed by me."

"Vintage Multivox MX-440 analog string and brass synthesizer. This is the less-than-reputible clone of the Roland RS-202 although it's debatable which came first. Works 100% and sound great. The MX-440 keyboard is splittable and the bass and treble have identical independent controls. Also includes an adjustable vibrato with adjustable delay, bass and treble "tone" sliders, separate sustain adjustments for the bass and treble sections and two very nice sounding ensemble settings. Overall in very good cosmetic condition with some nicks and wear from being about 35 years old. Includes the lid and the original music stand! Bonus feature: the keys have uniformly yellowed with age!

"Mid-1970s Yamaha CS-50, the first in the line that also eventually included the CS-60 and uber-synth CS-80.
4 voices of pure analog goodness through a completely analog signal chain, this unique synth boasts a sound like no other except its bigger, more expensive brothers.
It has both a resonate High Pass and resonant Low Pass filter, multiple waveforms (Pulse, Ramp, Sine, Noise) which can be used individually or in combination, very flexible filter and amp settings, plus plenty of modulation options including modulation via aftertouch.
My favorite part of this synth is its incredible ring modulator, which is again very flexible and capable of a wide variety of sounds from subtle to Dr. Who.
Synth is in wonderful electrical and cosmetic condition, complete with legs, leg brace, music stand, case top with leg bracket screws.
Quick warmup and stays in tune.
The only known issue with the synth is that the sine wave on one out of the four voice cards does not play, however it does not diminish the overall sound of the synth.
This has made appearances on almost all of my Sensitive Chaos albums, including the new one that will be released this spring..."

"DESIGN LABS PROLOGUE PLUS WITH RETRO SYNTH FITTED
This is an 8 channel midi to cv convertor with DIN sync converter and a separate analogue filter, with a vca and 2 envelope generators......
The Prologue Plus has four MIDI-to-CV processors, each of which can handle four notes simultaneously. The first menu, General Control, allows the following to be assigned to each processor: a MIDI channel, one of five keying modes, LFO, clock and portamento rates, four MIDI controllers, and pitch-bend amount. The processors can be treated individually, or stacked to give 8-note poly
There are 11 Gate-type signals, derived from each of the four processors, to be assigned to any of the eight output Gate sockets. Similarly, 24 continuous-voltage signals can be assigned from any of the processors to any of the eight CV outputs. The pitch CVs can be either 1volt/oct standard or volts/hz
The flexibility offered by eight pairs of CVs and Gates is staggering. Each of the eight CV outputs is a source of continuous voltage, and the range of mapping options means that each of these can carry a pitch CV, or any one of hundreds of controller CVs. This means that in addition to driving up to eight monosynths with basic pitch and gate information, you can play a synth such as an Oberheim 4-voice or a modular synth with 4-note polyphony and four continuous controllers (such as filter, amplitude, PWM, and so on). .
The unit also offers DIN sync 24 conversion from midi clock via a 5 pin din socket on the rear. Clock pulses, start, stop and reset pulses can be routed to the gate outputs on the rear of the unit, these are very useful for runing analogue sequencers, arpeggiators, sample and holds and envelope generators etc...
The retro synth option offers a filter, vca and 2 adsr envelope generators to process external audio. The filter is based around the oberheim xpander circuit and has the following 14 filter types.
BP1 Band-pass filter 1. A wide range of frequencies is passed.
BP2 Band-pass filter 2. A medium range of frequencies is passed.
BP3 Band-pass filter 3. A narrow range of frequencies is passed.
HP1+L A 12dB/octave hi-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
HP2+L A 18dB/octave hi-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
HP3+L A 24dB/octave hi-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
LP1 A 12dB/octave low-pass filter with no EQ applied.
LP2 A 24dB/octave low-pass filter with no EQ applied.
LP1-L A 12dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency roll-off.
LP2-L A 24dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency roll-off.
LP1+L A 12dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
LP2+L A 24dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
NOTCH1-LP A medium range of frequencies is rejected. There is a low-frequency roll-off.
NOTCH2-LP A narrow range of frequencies is rejected. There is a low-frequency roll-off.
The 2 ASDR envelopes can be routed to the CV outputs, for use with external synth and modules.
If you just add a external oscillator you will have a complete synth with a lovely filter or you can use
the retro synth input to process any analogue or digital synth or sound source. .
This machine does nearly every kind of midi to cv conversion and will filter and process audio
it's an amazing machine!!"

LP1+L A 12dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
LP2+L A 24dB/octave low-pass filter with a low-frequency EQ boost.
NOTCH1-LP A medium range of frequencies is rejected. There is a low-frequency roll-off.
NOTCH2-LP A narrow range of frequencies is rejected. There is a low-frequency roll-off.
The 2 ASDR envelopes can be routed to the CV outputs, for use with external synth and modules.
If you just add a external oscillator you will have a complete synth with a lovely filter or you can use
the retro synth input to process any analogue or digital synth or sound source. .
This machine does nearly every kind of midi to cv conversion and will filter and process audio
it's an amazing machine!!"

See Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS) for more.
"The Malekko Wiard series of modules offer the same great sound, ergonomics, musicality, and quality that made the Wiard 300 series legendary, at a fraction of the cost and size in Eurorack modular format.
The XMIX is a versatile mixing/crossfading utility module with Wiard flair. There are level controls for the two inputs (X and Y). The Y input can be inverted via a switch. Z controls the balance of X Vs. Y. Z has a CV input, along with an attenuator for CV amount. Positive and negative outputs are provided, as well as an Expand input which provides a unity input to chain the output of other modules (such as another XMIX).
Features
A 2 > 1 Mixer
CV crossfading
A signal inverter
Audio rate amplitude/crossfading modulation
With a single input, you can use the XMIX as a linear VCA
Input different waveforms to create new wave shapes
The X input normals into the Y input when nothing is plugged into Y. Invert the Y input with the switch, and crossfade the X signal VS the inverted version of itself
The XMIX is 8hp wide, 25mm deep, and consumes approximately 45mA power."

New Waldorf Rocket Synthesizer - 8 Oscillators, Analog Filter - Video
Rocket Synthesizer Waldorf Music Published on Feb 22, 2013 B4Distribution·25 videos
It looks like Waldorf was saving something for the Musikmesse after all. Curious if this replaces the Pulse 2 announced in 2012 (here, here, and here).
"With Rocket Waldorf introduces a new mini synthesizer that boasts a feature set uncommon in its class. With its advanced oscillator section this small black cube can generate sharp edged leads, gargantuan basses as well as vast synthesizer soundscapes that can resound as an 8-voice chord if desired. (All sounds in this demo were created with Rocket synthesizer, except drums, samples were used here.) SRP 205,- Euro plus taxes
Tech specs:• Analog multimode-filter (VCF) with Low Pass / Band Pass / High Pass
• VCF-input
• Highly flexible oscillator-section with pulse width modulation and hard sync
• Up to 8 oscillators in unison for chords or Ultra High Density Sawtooth
• Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) for modulation
• Envelopes for VCA, VCF and Sync
• Booster circuit to generate aggressive sounds
• Arpeggiator with different rhythmic patterns
• Glide• USB powered
• MIDI in and out
• Extensive control panel with high-end pots and switches
• Control via MIDI and USB
• MIDI clock sync
• Line output
• Loud headphone output
• Launch key for easy pre listening
• Made in Germany
Demo song composed by Erik Heirman"
And via Waldorf:
"Lift-off!
No one expected this Rocket launch, which is in clear violation of several UN resolutions and basic laws of physics. Unlike conventional missiles, this one comes in a square shape and will be sold world-wide in complete ignorance of German governments exports restrictions.
It's incredible sound is a powerful weapon of mass destruction, and never before has this been achieved with such an enormous fun factor. It features an analog multimode VCF with lowpass, bandpass, and highpass, resonance up to self oscillation and beyond, a powerful monophonic oscillator section with Ultra High Density Sawtooth and unison for chord play.
Furthermore equipped with a powerful Arpeggiator and a destructive Booster circuit, this Rocket is technologically way ahead of all current defense systems.
Rocket is an ideal fun sound design machine, which in combination with its extremely attractive price, will appeal to any sound designer and musician interested in quality sounds. It works as a stand-alone instrument or in any imaginable music production environment. But its most important feature is of course its sound: a real Waldorf synthesizer, powerful, direct and with a lot of love for the details.
And of course, this Rocket is 100% Made in Germany - With Love!"
