Big City Music Welcomes SYNTHWERKS
product page here"The FSR-4 is Synthwerks’ first release in its upcoming series of modules based on Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) technology. These modules translate the pressure the performer applies to the sensing pads to user adjustable scalable control voltage and adjustable threshold dependent gate signal. The FSR-4 has four identical circuits and can produce four independent pressure outputs. The pressure sensors are non-capacitance based, respond to any direct pressure, are not affected by skin resistance, and never need cleaning or polishing. You can even play them while wearing gloves or by pressing on them with other objects. Rubber pads and other textured surfaces can be placed on top of the sensors to make a user defined custom feel to the playing surface. Internal jumpers allow any of one the 4 channel gate or pressure outputs to be routed to the standard CV and gate bus (only one of each should be connected this way).
Current Consumption: 90 mA
Panel size: 16HP"

Oberheim OB-Xa with MIDI
via this auction
"The MIDI interface is by JL COOPER. I tried to get a photo of the circuit board on the inside but it was just too blurry to read. According to the serial number plate, this was originally a 6 voice OB-Xa. It only has five circuit boards for voices now."
If you look at the second shot of the inside below you can see two voice boards sitting next to two blank spots. There is a second voice motherboard underneath.

Off Key: When Film and Music Won't Work Together
On Amazon
and Google books. Posting this one for the Roland System 100m on the cover."In Off Key, Kay Dickinson offers a compelling study of how certain alliances of music and film are judged aesthetic failures. Based on a fascinating and wide-ranging body of film-music mismatches, and using contemporary reviews and histories of the turn to post-industrialization, the book expands the ways in which the union of the film and music businesses can be understood.
Moving beyond the typical understanding of film music that privileges the score, Off Key also incorporates analyses of rock 'n' roll movies, composer biopics, and pop singers crossing over into acting. By doing this, it provides a fuller picture of how two successful entertainment sectors have sought out synergistic strategies, ones whose alleged "failures" have much to tell about the labor practices of the creative industries, as well as our own relationship to them and to work itself. A provocative and politically-conscious look at music-image relations, Off Key will appeal to students and scholars of film music, cinema studies, media studies, cultural studies, and labor history."

Crowphonics CRO-1
via this auction
"This has to be one of the coolest things (IMO) to come out in the analog/boutique synth whatever you wanna call it industry in the last year or so. I've never really played with something that was so quirky and almost had a personality? The thing can go from total cacophony to sort of rhythmic noise to deep square-wave bass. And this is all before you feed it any control voltage. Connect one or more of the croc-clips to a cv/gate source like a eurorack or 5U modular jack etc and the cro-1 really gets interesting. Of course there is always the option to chain multiple CRO-1 and 2s via the sync/chain jack.
Synthesizers.com Q106 Oscillator Module
via these auctions(note there are other modules currently listed as well)
"The Q106 Oscillator generates the basic waveforms needed to construct sounds and to provide modulation signals. The frequency (pitch) of the oscillator is controlled by voltage levels from devices such as keyboards or other oscillators. Both linear and 1/volt per octave exponential inputs are provided and each can be scaled by panel controls. A manual Range switch selects 5 octaves plus a Low range for modulation frequencies (.05hz to 25hz). A manual Frequency control allows adjustment over one octave. The five waveforms available simultaneously are SINE, TRIANGLE, SAW, RAMP, and PULSE. The width of the PULSE waveform can be modulated by an external source and adjusted manually. A hard sync input is also provided which allows several oscillators to be synchronized to prevent beating."

Endangered Audio Research AD4096
"Endangered Audio's latest project, the AD4096, is a hand-built analog delay with features that elevate it beyond your garden-variety 3-knob delays. With the flick of a switch, you can choose between true bypass or spillover, allowing you to stop your delays dead (in true bypass) or let them carry over into your next phrase (with spillover). Engaging the infinity switch is like turning the Depth knob all the way up instantaneously. Once you lift your foot off the momentary switch, the depth knob takes over again and the signal is subdued to its original setting. The LED, normally red, turns green when you step on the switch to indicate that you have just engaged infinity.With the Time knob, you can take your sound from boxy, bathroom-like reverb at 20ms all the way up to a full 300ms of delay. The Depth, Delay, and Echo knobs are all very interactive with one another. Turning up the Delay knob, you'll notice a familiar smooth and creamy analog delay sound. Set the Delay knob relatively low and the Echo knob much higher, you'll find the character has changed to resemble darker, tape-based delays, with harmonic "glitter" or "sparkle" added to the delayed signal. Subtle blending of the Echo and Delay knob gives you a large tonal palette with lots of flexibility - so much that it's like having two delays in one!
Set the Delay and Echo knob up together, and you'll realize that the "Echoed" delay comes back just a fraction of a second later than the first, so that what you're really hearing is a lo-fi "echo" of the delay. The effect is subtle, but totally unique to the AD4096. Also, unlike many delays, both analog and digital, it is very easy to set the AD4096 so that is sounds like it is constantly self-oscillating with feedback without the signal getting carried away and blowing up your amp. This allows you to play lines over a swirling, churning background of delayed signals.
In addition to all of those features, the AD4096 also has an always-on buffered direct out. This allows you to send your dry signal to a seperate pedal chain without any loading.
The AD4096 owes its heritage to the Boss DM-3, though we cannot stress enough that it is NOT a clone! The AD4096 sounds very different and it has expanded tonal possibilities. The Coolaudio chips we use for the BBD and clock are clones of the Panasonic chipsets used in the DM-3 (and, to our ears, sound very "cool" indeed - so much for the N.O.S. voodoo!).
If you've been looking for the most tonally versatile analog delay out there, then you've just found it: the AD4096 by Endangered Audio Research.
The AD4096 features 100% analog circuitry and is hand-built and assembled right here in our shop. We use only through-hole components, and we make an effort to source environmentally-friendly components whenever possible. Our knobs are all high quality custom-made in the USA. We also have all of our boxes powdercoated locally here in Asheville, NC.
Features:
* 20-300ms of analog delay
* Direct out
* Switch for True Bypass or Spillover
* Momentary "Infinity" switch that shoots the Depth to 100% and also turns the normally red LED to green
* Two different delay controls - "Delay" and "Echo" each with their own distinct characteristics
* High quality plate-through-hole circuitboard that is made to last
* Durable Metalphoto control faceplate - will withstand years of abuse
* Large, custom-made knobs that invite tweaking
* Locally powdercoated aluminum enclosure
* Hand-built and assembled in our shop to assure total quality control
* Footprint: 5.3" by 4.3"
Projected Price:
$375
(Available for preorder in 2 weeks)."

AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2 Now Available Featuring Way Out Ware Filters
"AdrenaLinn Sync v2In October 2009 we released AdrenaLinn Sync, a software plug-in that provides--and even exceeds--the beat-synced effects portion of AdrenaLinn III. Now we've released AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2, a completely rewritten and dramatic improvement over the original. What are the main points?
1. Vastly improved Filters-- warm, full & accurate analog-modeled Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Flanger and Phaser, created in collaboration with Way Out Ware, makers of the highly-acclaimed software emulations of vintage Arp synthesizers, TimeWArp 2600 and KikAxxe. The quality and variety of both conventional and unusual tones is remarkable.
2. Completely rewritten to replace Cycling 74's Pluggo technology. This adds compatibility with all DAWs including Cubase and also Ableton Live while running Max For Live. (Mac AU/VST version available now, Mac RTAS and Windows VST/RTAS coming soon.)
3. A sexy--but very functional--new look, rendered in true 3D to emulate the look of AdrenaLinn III's knobs, buttons and panel.
4. All new presets--beautiful and inspiring--that truly show off the new sound capabilities.
With version 2, all the special capabilities of AdrenaLinn Sync--simultaneous filter/volume/pan modulation, Snap To Scale, randomness probability controls, tube-modeled distortion, 8 bar stereo delay with delay loops, noise beats, synth loops and more--really shine. Please click here to learn more and to see a new video of me demonstrating the extraordinary sounds it can produce. [previously posted] Owners of the original version will receive an email this week containing a free upgrade to version 2"

Ekdahl Moisturizer Spring Reverb with CV Control
via this auction"Here is info from the web page
Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.
The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more - thanks y'all!
What's in the box
The Ekdahl Moisturizer contains exactly:
* Preamp (up to 10 times gain)
* Reverb
* Reverb / Preamp wet/dry crossfader (Knob & CV/EP controllable)
* State variable filter with
o Lowpass/Bandpass/Highpass seamless crossover (Knob, CV/EP & LFO controllable)
o Cutoff (Knob, CV/EP & LFO controllable)
o Resonance (WITHOUT resonance limiter)
* LFO with
o Speed control (Knob & CV/EP controllable)
o Square / Triangle crossover
o External output with output amplitude knob
* Filter / No filter wet/dry crossfader (Knob & CV/EP controllable)"
