Synthwerks Desktop Controller

"I made a sweet little desktop controller using just Schroff rails and some hand cut plexiglas end panels. Instead of a power bus board I just made a ribbon cable with a bunch of connectors on it. I then made a panel that bused the PS from one of my main cases and also carried over 4 lines to the main case (I used 7-pin DIN connectors). Two of the lines are normalized to the Doepfer CV and Gate buses. A thin Formica panel is slid in the rear grooves and works great. The Tip-top rails can be easily adapted to do the same thing though they are not as deep so panels may have to be made for the exposed edges. I have enough rails left over to make a slanted 6U version next. A cheap source for these rails in the US (at low quantities) is really appreciated. Gur will make a mint off these [see this post]. Especially if he also starts selling a power supply."

Tek Kit HD Step Sequencer DJ Mixer for the iPad, DJ Set Part Two
YouTube via iPadTekKit | July 01, 2010
"We are about to do a massive update to Tek Kit. We have added a heap of new features including: full step sequencing capabilities, more effects, custom user samples, a swing function and master tube distortion. (just to mention a few) There are still a few loose ends to tidy up, and a bit of user interface work to be done but the end product is a fully fledged electronic music production and performance tool. This video is a sneak peak before the final release occurs, and is just a mess around session just to show off some of the features, and uses a couple of tracks composed by Proxycon (one of our fantastic contributors) as well as a few fill in beats made by the Tek Kit team.
The price of Tek Kit is likely to rise when this update happens, so if you buy it now, you'll get it at a discounted price.
Long Live The Beat!"

Korg MS03 Signal Processor Demo
YouTube via dragonfly2270 | July 01, 2010
"This is a demo of my Korg MS03 Signal Processor for sale on Ebay."
"The Korg MS-03 vintage monophonic pitch to voltage converter interface. This unit produces VCO CV (control voltage) signals and trigger (gate) signals so that you can use another synth’s audio output ,an electric guitar, microphone, or other transducer output (from an acoustic instrument, for example) to "play" a synthesizer. A variety of remote control input jacks let you use foot switches for more freedom and flexibility during live performance. With this amazing unit you can instantly put together your own guitar synthesizer,
This unit is in perfect working condition.I have posted a video on You Tube demonstrating the unit in action – I patch a Korg MS20’s audio output into the MS03 which then sends CV and trigger signals to a Korg Monopoly synth."

Folktek Arts Drone Scape

"The Drone Scape by Arius Blaze - an ongoing series of works intended specifically for a broad range of drone - from lo-fi to extremely rich and lush, similar in nature to the Drum Scape series, though also quite different from any other folktek work. On the other hand, it's also capable of glitch, bleeps and blips, odd beats, shifting arpeggiation and all varieties of noise.
The Drone Scape X (one of four identical works) can be found here;

No, not twins; to celebrate her child’s birth, scheduled for September 27, Mitchell plans to simultaneously release an album of original children’s songs, written and sung with an impressive list of friends and collaborators."

Studio Electronics Omega 8
"This one has a nice custom chrome face and an extra filter installed on voice one. The standard filters across the 4 voices are the Moog and SEM combo. I believe that the extra filter on voice 1 is an ARP filter. It certainly doesn't sound like a 303 filter to me, and it's in the AUX1 slot, which rules it out being a CS-80 filter, which can only fit into Aux 2."
