Custom Analog Tube Synth
Here's one for Thomas Dolby. No title link, just this shot pulled via this auction.Details:
"Easily the most destructive and crazy piece of equipment ive ever built or played. Take a loud a/rhythmic synthesizer, self oscillating distortion (with 1.4" input) and white noise generator being fed into a modified Tube Amp! There is no need to plug it into an amp if youre just looking to play at home because its builtin speaker is obnoxiously loud! in fact ive never wanted to turn the Tube Gain (master) up past 20!
The Synthesizer portion is great for anti rhythms of piercing whistles or rumbles down to nothing. this part really needs a better speaker to show all of its range. the pre patched LFOs can be brought up to audible levels for frequency modulation which gives a thick 4 oscillator sound. the total shutdown knob in the far right bottom can create tons of randomness depending on the other controls setting. at times it can control the master clock of all oscillators by speeding up frequencies and slowing down LFOs in unison. fun times for drones and melodies!
Following the audio chain you have a choice between sending the oscillators to the distortion or your 1/4" input. Depending on the level of your incoming signal, the sound is mangled by a high gain distortion with a unique self oscillator. Plugging in a cable and touching the end creates WHITE NOISE with variable frequencies and tones depending on your settings. Plugging in a mic creates almost octave up and down tones with a heavy heavy fuzz. turns your voice into pure evil!!!
Last is the TUBE portion of the synth for that extra grime. Always take it easy on the gain! there is a tube on the front which lights up green after warming up and has a Level indicator similar to a VU Meter for watching how strong your signal is. (if you have any gear with Photocells you can use this as a envelope controller). The first Tube level meter ive ever seen!
Please! Check out the diagram for Control Specs.
Unit Runs off of 120vac and a single 9V. I will try my best to get a video up of the unit glowing and blasting tunes by saturday afternoon."
I'll most likely forget about the video, so if anyone sees it and remembers this post, please come back and comment.

Sneak-Thief Notron and DIY Modular
Michel Morin (seak-thief / polygamy boys), sent in a couple of shots of his Latronic Notron and DIY modular. The following are his thoughts on the Notron.
"I bought the Notron new back in 1998 and manually upgraded it to the Mk2 ROM a year later. Cutting the rubber rim around the base was extremely difficult, not to mention carefully separating the two halves which were hot-glued together. I haven't replaced the rubber trim yet even though Latronic sent me a replacement piece along with the Mk2 ROM. Notron's have generally had issues with static electricity and will sometimes reboot as a result. I think this might be solved if a proper star-grounding topology is used on the inside board along with a decent 5V DC power supply. I don't perform with it live anymore so fixing this is no longer a pressing issue for me.
I don't ever plan to sell my Notron, despite it currently being worth almost 3 times as much as I paid for it. Besides, how many sequencers do you know that can run at 1500bpm? When I first got it, I remember simultaneously crashing an SC-55, Juno 106, AN1x and TX81z due to some kind of insane midi stream that the Notron was spitting out. Most impressive!
What really stands out about this sequencer are the compelling ergonomics - it feels so damn good to use."
"p.s. It's crazy to think that I bought the Notron in 1998 for the equivalent of $950 USD and it's recently sold for over $3000 USD!"
