Roland System 100

Title link takes you to more shots in a flickr set by missmillogram, sent my way via ISO50 / Tycho.

Update: Looks like there is one up for auction with some of the same shots and some different.

technik - troprecordings.de

Title link takes you to the studio page for technik. The two shots to show the diversity of what you will find there.

Above is tph (Thomas P. Heckmann) and the machines.

Below is the PPG Realizer - this was in essence going to be the first synth to specifically model other synths. An image of the synth to be modeled would appear on the screen with lines connecting the knobs you see to the parameters in the image. A Minimoog was frequently shown.

Kitsch Space Drum Dub Disco Synth Sound Effect

via this auction.
"Freak Machine! This is a weird little sound effects box which dub dj`s used to use to toast with - has a little speaker built in and two screws at the back to wire an output to (I can do that for a coupla quid if you need). You`ll have heard the sounds on this thing used on various and nefarious rekkids from back in the day - generally manipulated in some way. True analogue & sounds it - get some Moorish Madess in the mix Bwana! Runs on 2 x walkman batteries (not supplied unless I can find a pair) all the way to Revolutionary Dub Heaven!"

Anyone know more about this piece, specifically who made it and the actual name of the model?

Navs Clockbox

via Navs:
"Navs' Clockbox: a compact 8-Step analogue sequencer featuring clock divide, odd step, random reset and speed settings. Oh, and loads of pretty LEDs.

Obviously inspired by Schneider's Jimibox and Doepfer's Vanity Cases - I know, I could have saved myself the grief, and calloused hands, but the A_Sol SQ8 is just too damn deep (10cm) to fit in one of those boxes!

Modules used: A_Sol SQ8, Doepfer A-160 + A-161 Clk Div/ Seq, A-147 VCLFO, MNT Mini PSU. Random function provided by A_Sol SH-NZ (in main suitcase).

Oh, the legending is obviously Photoshopped. I'll make a real sticker as soon as I fix my printer ;)

Cheers,
Navs

PS More modular tests coming in the first week of August. Meantime, be sure to check out the rest of the site and forum!

RadioModular Back Up

"After a long delay, due to an equipment malfunction, RadioModular is back up (hopefully stays up). Right now, it's pretty much all ZeroOscillator.

Modules used: Two Modcan 01a's modulating Zero Oscillator, A Dual LFO, Modcan Super Delay. (No Filters). It's then sent through some light digital processing for ambiance and out through the Internet.

I tried to get some 'buchla-200esque' Chris Muir-ian Timbers out of it.

ARP Solus

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.
"The model is 2353 and the serial number is 2353599. I received this keyboard on trade and I do not think it was played very much. It still has the protective clear cover on the controls and on the back plate serial number. I left it so when you receive it you can peel it off and it will look excellent."

Drumfire Five Channel Synthesizer Mixer Remote Contacts

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"It's 5 channels each one with a trigger in and direct out gives you some pretty nice 80's electronic drum sounds kraftwerk, new order kind of sounds come to mind as well as techno, trance, dance style sounds from the roland tr909. each of the 5 channels has a nob control for sensitivity, oscillator decay, noise decay, sweep, pitch with a cilck button on/off, balance (osc - noise), volume, and pan l-r. Unit also has a main left and right out each with a volume nob. The trigger cords are in new shape. I have never used them they still have the velcro tape on them. (i used roland trigger pads with the drumfire). All 5 triggers work. I just tested them by plugging them in and tapping on them . They are more sensitive than my roland pads. Comes with original box and some stickers, the five 1/4 inch trigger cords, and the unit itself."
