"WKE Stylosynth B
I bought this on Ebay a couple of years back.
It is an extensively modified Stylophone, it has a second oscillator, variable vibrato speed, envelope and mixer section.
It only partly worked when when i got it but has now completely stopped working. I plan to repair it to it's former glory.
I have no idea who modified it or when, but the circuitry looks very old.
One question springs to mind, it is marked wke stylosynth B, who has the stylosynth A?"

KORG MONOTRON! Mini Analog Synth - Unboxing and Demonstration / Review

YouTube via VJFranzK | August 20, 2010

"NEW Analog Synth in a box the size of a cassette tape! (Remember what those were? ;-) Available NOW at NoiseBug.net. Here is my unboxing, and a demonstration with a variety of other music gadgets - one of the best features is the ability to run external sounds through the (very resonant) analog filter, which is based on Korg's classic MS-20! The sound is quite warm - it could be the perfect addition to various digital gear, and the price is unbeatable."

Keytar Action in Retarded Animal Babies 22

1st off, this one is 100% NSFW. If you are easily offended or maybe even not so easily offended, do not watch the episode here.

That said, if you are not familiar with RAB, it's a toon by Dave, the man who brought us The Packrat and these excellent videos. He runs all of http://umop.com/ and plays keys in Parallax. You should recognize his custom "Tron" red Roland AXIS keytar. See this video. Image of Dave below via the Parallax site, not the toon. Hmm... is he the donkey?

Notstandskomitee encore at Baustelle Festival

Notstandskomitee encore at Baustelle Festival from Malte Steiner on Vimeo.

"Notstandskomitee encore at Baustelle Festival Hamburg 14. August 2010. After a set made with Csound and played from Linuxlaptop I performed an encore only with my old IPod touch and Nanostudio, a brilliant self contained music app which I bought only a couple of days before.
I accidently hit the recordbutton because of the tiny screen and you can hear the metronome briefly but it fits well in the song.
The concert was basically the same as in the other video but this encore was performed the first time. And again it rained, water dropped on the Ipod and other equipment before.

Gakken SX-150

via this auction
"Features
* Size: 4.5" x 6"
* Controls for LFO, pitch envelope, frequency cutoff, resonance, and attack/decay
* Slide controller (pen type electrode)
* Output and external input 1/8" jacks
* Small built-in speaker
* Runs on 4 AA batteries (not included)

Putting it together
Assembly of the kit requires little work - the circuit board comes fully assembled, i just mounted it to the panel and connected the stylus control strip. Power is provided by 4 AA batteries and a small speaker is included in the design. I highly suggest connecting the output to external amplification (this little guy really does sound quite good!). The "external source" jack accepts an amplified signal and converts its frequency into pitch control. Controls for LFO, pitch envelope, frequency cutoff, and attack/decay are included. Each potentiometer gives a wide range of response, so you have a relatively large amount of control over the sound."

Mod me
The simple design seems to suggest that the SX-150 wants/needs to be modded, hacked, and/or customized. Using the stylus/pitch-strip control only gives you a taste of the good sounds you can get from the kit. The SX-150 kit is very easy to use and some modding ideas are bound to come to mind should you get your hands on one. At the very least, you can choose from a number of included decorative decals - and at the more advanced end, schematic and code for using MIDI input has already been posted. I'm sure more sweet DIY add-ons are in the works - very awesome.

The Controller F - A touch pen generates CV and Gate.
- Also has a tiny extenal input that does F/V conversion.
(but also responds to amplitude :-).
VCO F Has saw-tooth output
VCF F Sullen-Key type 12dB/Oct filter. Very much like Korg MS-20 filter.
Envelope Generator F AD type.
LFO F Two output waveforms: triangular and rectangular.

MFB OSC-02 VCO

via this auction

"From MFB:
The osc-02 uses fully analog technique taken from mfb synth ii model. three oscillators with all benefits and the typical character of analog construction in a single compact module.

Osc-02 offers a variety of notable functions: beside a common cv-control voltage for all vcos, all oscillators can be individually controlled by cv-sources, e.g. by different tracks of a cv-sequencer like doepfers maq-16/3 or the as oberkorn. vco 1 can be synchronized to vco 3, individually or paired with vco 2. the same goes for external hard-sync. the additional cv-inputs allow for common and individual modulations.

Three outputs allow for summed and individual audio outputs. a separate outputs carries a digital ring-modulated signal of osc 1 and 2 (configurable to osc 1-3 by jumper).

The module has a width of 80 mm (16 te)."

Hohner Multimonica II

via this auction

There are tons of more pics at the auction. I grabbed a few including some of the inside for the archives here.

Here is a Wikipedia snippet on the Hohner Multimonica II:

"The Hohner Multimonica is one of the first mass produced electronic synthesizers, dating back to 1940. Produced by the German Hohner GmBh, it preceded even the more famous Selmer Clavioline. The instrument is a combo of a fan blown reed organ (lower manual) and a monophonic sawtooth synthesizer (upper manual). It’s circuitry was designed by the German engineer Harald Bode. There have been at least two series of Multimonica, with different control panel layout and schematics. The earlier models are now being a real rarity, since their production was halted by the World War II, and many units may have been lost in the war. Multimonica II was released by the end of the ’40s. The front panel controls of the Multimonica I from left to right are: gain knob for the microphone input; power switch and overall volume knob; synthesizer/amplifier selector; power switch for the blower fan; tuning knob; four selector switches for different harmonics filtering of the synthesizer sound; four selectors for the different loudspeakers; vibrato switch.

The Multimonica II featured no microphone input, and only one loudspeaker, but provided more types of harmonics filtering, and the electromechanic vibrato was changed to a tube based and more sophisticated design. The front panel controls of the Multimonica II from left to right are: power switch and overall volume knob; six selector switches for different preset sounds of the synthesizer; tuning knob; two selector switches for different harmonics filtering; three switches for the vibrato speed and amplitude; power switch for the blower fan. A photo of a third model can be found on the World Wide Web, looking like a simplified version of Multimonica I (without microphone input). The circuit is based on Philips 13204 X, Philips EL41, Telefunken EF41 tubes for Multimonica I, and EL41; ECC40; EF40 tubes for the second series."

"Another 'work in progress'. 20 Rom Scrambling mods, which provide industrial Glitch for the drums & synth.

Still plenty more work to do, later mods will be posted as a video response.

I brought this machine because I needed a decent hardware sequencer. . . . Sadly Yamah (Multi-million doller international company) chose to ship these machines with a DODGY Operating System!!! This makes the machine essentially useless in a Midi enviroment........ What a bunch of cunts.

Now they want me to pay 69 uk pounds just to get functioning O.S. roms!!!!
They say they'll refund the cash, when the original roms are returned, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT..... There's no excuse for a big company like Yamah to piss all over the little guy. If the machine wasn't working in the first place then they shouldn't have sold it. It's a fucking disgrace and I'll never buy a modern Yamaha again.
