BTW, in case you missed the update to this post, I decided not to include posts I put up here on MATRIXSYNTH-B - too much noise.

Cynthia Milton Sequencer

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:

"This auction is for the whole set shown of (8) Milton Analog Music Voltage Controlled Sequencer Front Panels, including a very rare silver one with reversed graphics, (these are fully machined front and back and ready for the mounting of components). They are Modcan-A format, 1/8 inch thick aluminum, each 9" inches tall and 13.5 inches wide.

A convenient quarter-inch thick steel plate drilling guide is included for easily making more front panels with the same hole pattern.

(7) completely assembled and pre-wired Milton Engine Boards are included, just stuff them with chips and solder the wires that are already attached. Several Pairs of custom Engine Mounting Brackets are included along with three pre-assembled Asynchronous Boards.

These parts are for the famous Milton Voltage Controlled Sequencer sold under the Cynthia brand name via cyndustries.com. Originally designed for banana jacks they can easily be adapted to either miniphone or quarter-inch phone jacks. Although this sequencer and various do it yourself kit versions are available elsewhere on the web, this auction is the only place where you will find these front panels for sale.

Milton Circuit board kits and instructions (without panels) are available from BigCityMusic.com and www.buzzclick-music.com/ (Please Note, that this auction does not include authorization to go into production selling these as a business, if interested that must be negotiated separately with Buzzlick-Music.com above).

We are clearing out our workspace making room for the next big thing, so our spring cleaning is your gain!
These are the last ones, so snap these up before they're gone!

Morgana Demo

Remember Morgana? Title link takes you to a pretty cool demo on SIGHUP. Check out the end result.

MATRIXSYNTH-B

Update: I decided to not include the Matrixsynth posts on Matrixsynth-B after all. I looks like crap and you end up having to weed between them, so... All auction posts will be different between the two.

In light of me wanting to capture both the jaw droppers and to some, the mundane that comes across the bay, I've decided to create Matrixsynth-B for the "b-sides" of auction posts here. The "B" is also a take on "the Bay." The site will be limited to auction posts only, so if that's not your "schtick," you can skip it. I will continue to put up auction posts here as usual, however, anything I am on the fence with will go up on Matrixsynth-B. Note that the criteria for an auction to go up here are any combination of great shots, interesting details, or the rarest of the rare. So, if you are into the auction posts, do check out the B-sides now and then as some interesting items will come up that might not meet the three criteria. I will not link to auctions here, on Matrixsynth-B just to reduce redundancy.

I'm also going to open B up to submissions, so if you have something listed that you want me to post, send it my way, but.... send it at the start of your auction so it's not too late. The turn around times might be slower as my main focus is MATRIXSYNTH. And the new site... it's B-lue.
