Rhodes Chroma with Chroma CPU Plus (CC+)

via this auction

Pics of the inside below.

"If you are looking at this then you probably know something about the Rhodes Chroma.
It's a Beast of a synth! And this one if fully operational and updated. And, shipping is free in the U.S.
The major upgrade is the Chroma CPU Plus (CC+).
This updated CPU gives you all sorts of features, most notably MIDI. But also general stability. Read about it.
The other necessary upgrade is the new power supply. The original power always eventually goes out on the Chroma. Hand made in Italy this new power supply brings stability to the entire system.
You can find info on these upgrades on the RhodesChroma website.

Every inch of this synth has been gone through by my synth tech. Here's a note from him about all the things he took care of. If you have any more specific questions about what's going on with the Chroma we would be happy to talk with you.
--------
The Voice boards have had all of the electrolytic capacitors replaced, and the 4000 series cmos multiplexers and decoders have also been replaced. in 6 of 8 voice cards the RC4151 chips were replaced. many but not all of the chips had chip sockets installed to make for easier repair in the future. (some of the chips had been replaced already before I got there, and in some cases I just ran out of IC sockets) but for the most part it should be far less of a pain in the ass to replace the ICs on the voice boards going forward.
The mother board has had the electrolytic capacitors replaced and also had a number of the 4000 series cmos chips replaced. (CD4016, CD4566… etc..) in addition the LM311 comparator was replaced and the dual audio opamps were upgraded.
On the IO board many of the buffer, decoder/encoder, and flip flop chips have been replaced as well as electrolytic capacitors."

New Pittsburgh Modular "Game System" Eurorack Module

Published on Jul 23, 2015 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"Packed with six unique multi-mode sequencers and a fully voltage controllable user interface, the Game System is deep! Each game represents a different type of sequencing, from classic step sequencers, to unique multi-dimensional clock dividers, to chaotic gate generators. Individual sequencers in the Game System would make great standalone modules. Bundled together, they offer an entire arcade of sequencing options, with lots of room for creativity."

"Packed with six unique multi-mode sequencers and a fully voltage controllable user interface, the Game System is deep! Each game represents a different type of sequencing, from classic step sequencers, to unique multi-dimensional clock dividers, to chaotic gate generators. Individual sequencers in the Game System would make great standalone modules. Bundled together, they offer an entire arcade of sequencing options, with lots of room for creativity.


A Unique Set of Controls
The Game System uses a thumb joystick and button press interface for fast and intuitive navigation of the sequencers. Joystick movements and button presses are voltage controllable, inviting external CV and gate signals to take control of the gaming experience. The Game System can also be computer controlled, freeing the sequencers to shift and morph with the zeros and ones.


Price, Availability, and More Information
The suggested retail price for the Game System module is $299 and it begins shipping to our dealers July 31. More information available at pittsburghmodular.com/game-system.




Game 1: Meteor Shower
Meteor showers have inspired musicians since the dawn of time. The Game System transforms these celestial events into an 8x8 matrix filled with pixelated meteors, explosions, and one panicked spaceship. Pilot your unarmed ship through the matrix while dodging falling meteors. Explosion based gates and random control voltages react to the action and provide the perfect score to the amazing events taking place in the simulated night sky. God speed, fearless astronauts.


Game 2: Music Programmer (CV/Gate Sequencer)
Create your own musical masterpiece, a melody that defines a generation. Music Programmer is a classic 32 step CV and gate sequencer that is programmed with the joystick or auto-generated using control voltages. Sequences can vary in length from 1 to 32 steps and can be played in forward, reverse, pendulum, or random order. CV output is quantized to 1 volt per octave to keep the resulting patterns well tempered.


Game 3: Percussion Programmer (4 Channel Gate Sequencer)
Hmm.... Percussion can mean anything. A short (or long) burst of sound (or silence) used to create rhythmic patterns (or not) that drive (or don't) the beat of a song (or endless noodle). Regardless of the definition, the Percussion Programmer game features four channels of programmable gate sequencing that can be used for, um... anything. Rock and roll would probably assign the channels to kick, snare, high hat, and crash while EDM would go with something closer to kick, high hat, kick, and kick. Whatever gets you moving....


Game 4: Time Traveller (4 Channel Clock Divider)
A way to be in four places at once. Time Traveller is the first two dimensional clock divider. A game that shifts outputs freely within clock divisions and offsets. Using the idea of a time grid, clock divisions from 1 to 8 are laid out on the x axis allowing the y axis to be assigned to 8 steps of offset. The four outputs can be independently set to a static location, or allowed to freely roam the time grid creating unpredictable results. Time travel can be complicated; don't forget your towel.


Game 5: Probability Machine (2 Channel Chaotic Gate Generator)
The real world is a crazy place and music should reflect that. The Probability Machine creates chaotic gates based on a cascading chance algorithm. The resulting patterns are always in sync with some multiple of the clock, allowing for stuttering but not disjointed patterns. The density of the gates is based on a two dimensional probability field. The X axis defines the potential of an event and the Y axis defines the the depth of the event while the joystick button adds additional layers of complexity to the outputs. Spaztastic!


Game 6: Euclidean Rhythms (Algorithmic Gate Sequencer)
Impress your friends by applying all that geometry you learned in school. Inspired by the paper by Godfried Toussaint, the Euclidean Rhythms game is an auto-generating gate pattern sequencer that organizes complexity. Mathematically, the Euclidean Rhythms sequencer works to evenly space the number of active beats over the length of the sequence. Musically, the Euclidean Rhythms effortlessly creates organic patterns steeped in both Western and non-Western musical philosophies. Add a bit of CV control to create sequences that evolve with the incoming voltages, and suddenly math never sounded so good."

Ultra-Randrums by WMD.

Published on Jul 23, 2015 William Mathewson

"Alex and Bill made a patch using the Noise Engineering Zularic Repetitor to sequence drum modules which were mixed and sent into the Sequential Switch Matrix (SSM). The SSM routed the drums to different effect modules as well as back into itself for some crazy feedback loop moments. The SSF Ultra Random Analog kept the squence fresh by randomly modulating our secret prototype module as well as a VCA that allowed feedback to occur.

Enjoy!"

ACE TONE PS-1000 Vintage Analog Synth w/ Case

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

via this auction

"Up for sale is Very Rare ACE TONE PS-1000 vintage analog monophonic synthesizer.

Ace Tone / Ace Electronics Industries was the predecessor to Roland, and it is said that PS-1000 monosynth was designed by the founder of Roland almost simultaneously to when Roland released the popular SH-3A.

The unit appears to be working fine, there are four damaged keys as pictured, but they are responding fine when you push the remaining part. Also the reset button on VCA-HOLD appears to be missing the top part of it, but the function itself is fine. Otherwise, everything else appears to be working well to the best of my knowledge, all the functions working fine as being tested.

Aside from the physical damages mentioned above the unit is in nice cosmetic condition, there are some wear and marks here and there but nothing too major. I'm including plenty of pictures so you can see exactly how it looks.

Comes in original Hard Case as shown.
Power cable included."

Rhythm System 1m

Published on Jul 22, 2015 HardtekStudios

"My 1st video with the very awesome Roland Aira System 1m! The Drums come from the Rhythm Wolf sequences the System 1m via midi. The left output of the System 1m is routed to the mixer and the right is routed back into the external input for more synthyness. At the end I plug a cable coming from the sync out of the Wolf to the envelope in of the filter in the System 1m, so the filter envelope is now triggered every 8th note while the amp envelope only triggers for the sequence. All of this recorded into Logic and mixed with some compression, EQ, and verb."
