Elby Designs IF112 Double Deka VCO Eurorack Module

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

via this auction

"This unique VCO consists of an ultrasonic oscillator core followed by a parallel pair of waveform generators. Each waveform generator consists of a switched multi-octave divider followed by circuitry to generate a 10-step waveform using a set of 10 slider potentiometers. Also included are a novel synchronization circuit with two different operating modes and a built-in "digital ring modulator" (DRM) for producing a wide variety of synchronized and enharmonic sounds. The oscillator core is highly stable (better than 20 ppm/K in the prototype) and features wide-range, accurate tracking (better than 0.05% over fifteen octaves). The variable waveform generator provides fine control over an enormous range of available timbres.

Features

Two ultra stable oscillators with extreme timbral variability.
Unique slider interface for waveshaping controls.
Built in Digital Ring Modulation.
Toggle switch between Harmonic and Enharmonic synchronization options.
Precise tracking over many octaves."

Eowave Fluctuation Magnetique Quad Filter Eurorack Module

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

via this auction

"This quad multimode filter has been designed to simulate the action of magnetic fluctuations on the sound landscape.

The effects of ionization variations are modified by the different filters cutoff frequencies and the way they are synced.

Fluctuations Magnétiques (magnetic fluctuation) is a module from the modular synthesizer Orage Magnétique. This quad filter combines 4 independent multi-mode filters with selectable low-pass, band-pass & hi-pass. Each filter can be synced to one another to build to a 48dB low-pass/hi-pass filter or 24dB band-pass.

Each filter has a modulation input and an individual output to create stereo effects a well as quadriphonic textures. The filters A & B and C & D can be used in parallel mode or serial mode.

Features

4 Multi-Mode Filters in one module
LP, BP & HP modes
Stereo and Quadraphonic possibilities
Parallel and Serial modes
CV input for each filter
Individual Output for each filter
Cutoff/Resonance controls for each filter"

via Sound on Sound from May 2000:

"This hour-long video was produced by Dave Goodman, the man behind Helpful Music, in a bid to demystify the complexities of voltage-controlled subtractive synthesizers and the fog of jargon that surrounds them. Commendably, the video seeks to tackle its subject from the perspective of a modern MIDI-based musician approaching a CV-based modular synth with no previous experience of such instruments. To this end Dave is joined by his friend Duncan Fairweather, who explains that he is familiar with MIDI synths from the mid-'80s and later, but does not understand voltage-controlled, freely patchable synths..."

Rare Vintage ARP 2600 Analog Synthesizer with Keyboard (ONE owner) SN 0976

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

via this auction

"This ARP 2600 is a extremely good condition. This is the last version of this synth that was built in 1980 with the suitcase handle. The outside tolex is all original and in excellent condition. All the sliders and pots are clean and scratch free. Please email me any questions that you may have.
The ARP 2600 is a semi-modular analog subtractive audio synthesizer, designed by Alan R. Pearlman with Dennis Colin, and manufactured by his company, ARP Instruments, Inc. as the follow-on version of the. Unlike other modular systems of the time, which required modules to be purchased individually and wired by the user, the 2600 was semi-modular with a fixed selection of basic synthesizer components internally pre-wired. The 2600 was thus ideal for musicians new to synthesis, due to its ability to be operated either with or without patch cords, and was, upon its initial release, heavily marketed to high schools, universities, and other educational facilities

2601 v3.0: Late in 1980, a final revision was released with un-potted submodules, making them easier to maintain, and a revised suitcase. However these late models are quite rare as their release coincided with ARP's final days.

There were three versions of the remote keyboard associated with the 2600. The Model 3601 is a very rudimentary version with just Portamento and Tuning controls. The Model 3604 is similar but adds adjustable scaling and was used until 1974. The duo-phonic Model 3620 (pictured) which adds a dedicated LFO, latching and some other very useful features was introduced with the 2600P v4.0 and was used with all subsequent models from 1974 to 1980.

Filing this one under synth art.

"We used a different approach on audio visualizing based on a completely different medium and art work.

The idea was initially inspired from the Analogue Synthesizers design.
During the making of 'Knuckle Visualizer' we thought it might be more interesting to visualize
retro sound from Analogue Synthesizer into the artwork using different styles of artwork and design.

We collaborated unilaterally with a music company called 'musicaroma'.
This music company focuses on promoting internationally unknown foreign musicians and enabling them to get a copyright in Korea.

The music playing in the background is from the artist 'Stereo Cool, Title: Let There Be Funk '

Arturia Microbrute SE minimalist recording

Published on Mar 2, 2015 DreamsOfWires

MicroBrute SEs on eBay

"This was a recording I made last year after first acquiring the instrument. It consists of a simple 3 note pattern played on the SE's sequencer, and the sound is tweaked during the latter half of the recording. I recorded 2 tracks of guitar using a cheap classical acoustic, and some claves in the first part of the recording. I tried layering some sounds over the last half of it, but I was not happy with it and preferred the sound unaccompanied. This is along the lines of much of my recordings, I like simplicity, sometimes merely implied melodies, and a complete lack of drum machines.
A Death By Audio 'Ghost Delay' pedal was used on the synth, and generic reverb on the other sounds.
The video footage is taken from a summer walk in Northumberland, UK."
