"This is an original Bee Gees Rhythm Machine electronic music synthesizer from Mattel dated 1978. The keyboard measures 7-3/4" x 4-1/8". It is in the original display box that includes the Bee Gees music book. This portable rhythm machine operates on one 9-volt battery. Pre-programmed Disco, Latin & Pop rhythms. The 20-key keyboard chimes out synth-tones while the percussion sounds can be raised or lowered in tempo. Has a 3.5mm output jack for use through an amp or mixer... Techno band Kraftwerk used this keyboard on "Pocket Calculator" and on their 1981 concert tour"
This is the one in this video. No labels. As always be sure to read the description if you plan to bid. Looks like there are some issues with this one.
"This was Roland’s top of the line product of the mid 1980’s! This MKS-100 is in good/cosmetic working condition. It takes mini floppy discs (not included). Has screws ready for rackmount or use as desktop synth."

Voltage Control Voltage to Midi Converter module enables the user to integrate modern midi- and even computer-generated instruments and effects into his modular environment. Control your midi-equipment from your analog sequencer or from other control voltage generating devices.
This module features four input pairs for control voltages (0-10 volts) and gate signals to be transformed into midi-compatible control data.
Each input pair can be indepentently transformed into one the following types of midi data:
– Note-on/note-off – Velocity (combined w/note-on) – Pitch bend – Modulation wheel (CC1) – Breath controller (CC2) – Pedal (CC4) – Volume (CC7) – Panorama (CC10) – Special (CC20) – Channel after touch – Sustain Pedal – Program Change
Note output can be transposed via midi information or control voltage (1 V/oct). Transpose status can be enabled independently for each of the four inputs. Eight midi channel configurations are provided to ease the setup."

Voltage Controlled Envelope Generator in typical ADSR-Style with five voltage controlled parameters. Control voltage inputs with associated attenuator knobs for attack time, decay time, sustain level and release time and envelope amplitude.
The input jack for the amount of contour control is internally connected to +10 volt if nothing is patched. The time parameters range from 1 ms to approx. 20 s (at full modulation).
A gate button allows for manual triggering the envelope. Trigger threshold of the gate input is ca. 1 volt, positive edge.
The time control voltage inputs are “chained“: i. e. a control voltage in the „attack“-input controls the inputs D, and R as well, if there is nothing else patched. Control range is 0-10 volts, higher control voltages give longer envelope times.
Two LEDs serve as indicator lamps for ’gate pulse present‘ and for the envelope output.
Two envelope outputs serve as normal (0 to 10 volts) and inverted (0 to -10 volts) outputs."
with built-in clock-oscillator. The 32 switches (with associated LEDs) have three positions each: gate-on, gate-off and reset.
Switch-on time (adjustable width of the gate pulse) is independently variable for each of the four busses.
Two buttons to shift and reset the trigger position manually (all four rows); two buttons with associated trigger inputs to start and stop the internal oscillator. One input to reset the sequencer to position 1 via trigger pulse. Four independent trigger inputs, one for each bus.
The jacks are „switched“, so that, if e. g. only input 1 is used, inputs 2/3/4 are affected as well. If none of the sockets is used, the built-in clock oscillator is active. Four trigger/gate-outputs for the four rows of switches."
"In order to control pre-MIDI synthesizers from a modern MIDI instrument or sequencer, you need to change the digital MIDI messages into the kind of signals the pre-MIDI synth can understand.
For the price, this really is the best value converter on the market, anywhere. The versatility of this unit is awesome. Just look at the specifications below.
"KEY FEATURES OF EUROPA * Intuitive and simple programming procedure * No sub-menus or shift keys - one function per key * Simple to use - TR808/606 style programming. * Analogue features - analogue tempo clock, 7 analogue trigger outs, analogue sync signals * Live editing features * Transpose, Octave shift, Mute * Rugged steel construction.
Europa is a hardware sequencer, it does not contain a 'sound engine'. It has been designed from the ground up to be utilised with your MIDI synths, analogue modular, drum brains and drum machines.
Eurpoa was designed to be utilised with our SQ8 and Oberkorn analogue sequencers (and anything else with a compatible clock input).
Either use the main sync out or one of the seven trigger outputs to clock your analogue sequencers. Have them step whenever you like by programming triggers into the Europa sequencer. You can have 2 sequencers play alternately. You can mute the track so the Oberkorn/SQ8 sequencer stops! Use another trigger and you can activate the reset feature of the Oberkorn/SQ8!"
"Live version of an incomming project. The vocal drone comes from the MS2000, which plays a slow sequence with a lot of delay and also reverb and vocal morphing effect. Ion also plays slow organ-like arps with latch on right keyboard part and pads and noises with left keyboard part. Most of the pads comes from the OB12.
Jellyfish images were recorded at the Oceanogrà phic aquarium in Valencia (Spain) 2 years ago with my old Sony V1, sorry for the bad quality."

"This auction is for a super-rare rack mount Bode Frequency Shifter Model 6552 by R.A Moog. This is from the personal collection of Phil Cirocco of CMS / Discrete Synthesizers. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a rare piece of electronic music history.
This is serial #1001 and is the very first Frequency Shifter produced by R.A. MOOG. This particular 6552 was once owned by the great Walter Sear. It features ring modulator diodes that were hand selected by Harold Bode himself! It is listed in the Moog Archives http://moogarchives.com/ on the left menu select: "lists and charts", then: "custom sales" then: "frequency shifter".
There were 2 major incarnations of frequency shifters made by Moog/Bode. The first one (model 6552) is the one you see here. It is all discrete and uses actual diode rings and transformers for its ring modulator circuits. The second version (model 1630) is an op-amp chip version that uses balanced modulator ICs for its RM circuits. The second version, while being more convenient, does not sound anything like the first version.
I can say with confidence that you will never see one of these for sale again in your lifetime.
This Frequency Shifter is in excellent condition. There are no scratches on the front panel. It is #1 out of a known total of 11 units made. It was made by R.A. Moog under contract with Harold Bode. It is all original and functions perfectly. It is NOT a clone and it has a valid serial number and pedigree. It was recently calibrated here at CMS. It uses terminal strips in the back as all early Bode rack mount units do, so you will have to use a patch-bay nearby."
This one in via Keld.
Update via Michelle Moog-Koussa: I heard from Michelle Moog-Koussa, Bob Moog's daughter and Executive Directory of The Bog Moog Foundation. She stated, "I'm 99% sure that the model number and serial number are written in Dad's handwriting.
This piece was issued on August 21, 1968. Thirty-seven years later to the day the frequency of the whole electronic music community would shift as Bob's body left us......."

Keybed totally dis-assembled cleaned and new bushings installed Unit was calibrated burned in and re-calibrated (pro work bench, oscilloscope, frequency counter etc.) Keys compounded and polished Sliders and switches cleaned and lubed Custom set of slider caps of my own manufacture color correct Circuit board cleaned with electronics board wash"
"super rare and great Tama Techstar TSQ1000 sequencer and the matching TS505 drum synth to go with it. DO NOT underestimate this drum synth! It surely runs circles around the tr808 and 909... as it can do those classic sounds and allot more. There is lots of info online about the TS505. This combo lets you step sequence the TS505 in the same fashion as you would sequence the TR808. All cables to hook the two machines together are included!"

"It actually sounds great (through proper speakers) for such a diminutive and affordable unit. And I love the box cover tagline... 'GO-ANYWHERE ANALOG'"
just testing assignments and checking encoder values with the bpm software. checking the filter section, excuse the single pad press for about a min as i was making sure encoder values were set correctly.
-What's a MTmini?- ------------------------------------- Don't have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).
-How's it Work?- ------------------------------------- For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).
When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they move on the surface.
It's important to try different lighting setups and to configure the software in order to get the best results.

"HELLO WORLD! Decided its right about time I started making some videos for my tracks. So, this is me performing a live version of my track "Jungle Nightfall" (not nightfail as it might look like it says...) Machinedrum + Monomachine and a little KP3 for added spice. I'll try and find a better position to record from next time so you can see whats going on.
EDIT: the audio quality on youtube is SHYTE, so please visit http://soundcloud.com/siesta-submarina if you want to hear this and other tracks in better quality, or you can download most of my tracks for free for top audio quality :)
"HAY AGAIN! Look, I found a nifty way to place my camera in such an angle and place that you can actually see what I'm doing (or, if you are familiar with elektron gear anyway). So, this is a re-make of mytrack "Kolibri", originally MD only, but added the lovely Monomachine for the growly bass and some clean chord sounds. For some reason, the 16th hihats are killing the audio, but you get the idea :) Please go to http://soundcloud.com/siesta-submarina for free wav, mp3's etc etc. :)"
