2008 Oohlala Synth Mangler

via this auction
"This is one way out there Fuzz pedal that will summon sounds from outer space. I know, in space "no one can hear you scream," but if they could it would sound like this pedal. Devi Ever from Effector 13 designed this dual Soda Meiser styled fuzz pedal. Ram one fuzz into another or start flipping switches and see what happens! The "C" switches remove a component from the circuit, introducing a chaotic and sometimes oscillating sounds. The "H" switch removes another circuit with even more unpredictable results. That switch is gear dependent. The joystick controls the interaction between the two fuzzes. Up/down for one, left/right for the other. This pedal can do regular old school fuzz too but it has a "fun" element that most fuzzes don't have. It is used but is in great condition. Only some very small marks. Comes with original box, manual and googly-eyed pouch!"

"Improv Performance"

new synth case

new synth case from Brian Biggs on Vimeo.

"When I got a new case for my synth back in May 2010, I shot timelapse photos of the entire process. You first see the synth in its original housings, which are a couple of old Doepfer a100g3 and a100g6 cases. I acquired the new case from Monorocket, and over the course of an hour or so, pulled each module out and put it back into the case. This is a tedious process and is only interesting if it takes less than two minutes.
The holes left at the end are for the Harvestman Hertz Donut and the Tip Top Z8000 that had not yet arrived.

And if you are a fan of modular synths, you probably have already guessed that seven months later, I think half of these modules have been sold and replaced with other modules.

The music was recorded in December 2010 and features the Donut for sounds, Z8000 for notes, with timing influenced by the Pittsburgh Modular Vilfo. Which I no longer have. Natch."

"Many have traded in vintage samplers/drum machines in favor of computer based-methods of production, but the legacy of classic pieces such as the E-Mu SP 1200, favored by the likes of Ayatollah, The RZA, and Large Professor, lives on. Known for its super gritty sound, the 12-bit hardware was crucial in shaping hip-hop, and this 2gb flash drive is an awesome way to immortalize and remember it."

KORG KAOSS PAD KP2

via this auction

"Korg Kaoss Pad KP2 dynamic effect controller. The KP2 expands on the original Kaoss Pad with more effects (100 total), BPM functionality that syncs the effects to BPM automatically, to MIDI clock or Tapped tempo, and an incredible Sampling function. This excellent used example is in perfect working condition and includes the original 12v power supply. Originally sold with a list price of over $400, the KP2 has since been discontinued...

The concept of the Kaoss Pad is simple - as you move your finger around the pad you are controlling many sophisticated aspects of a powerful effects processor. Moving your finger in any direction on the pad creates evocative changes to your mix, producing a level of complexity that would be impossible to achieve with any other system or controller. The KP2 is packed with essential effects like filters, delays, reverb, and flanging, along with cutting-edge DJ effects like isolator, slicer, and auto-panning. Select effect programs by turning a knob and assign up to 8 in the program memory buttons for instant recall. A hold switch lets you freeze an effect in its current position, making it easy to capture a perfect setting or to rhythmically change the sound by drumming on the pad. Along with amazing effects, the KP2 is loaded with 15 different synth sounds. Use the pad to play and manipulate the sounds for some truly unique creations. Plug into the KP2's audio input and sample up to 6 seconds of audio, with 2 sample keys that you can use to trigger those samples. Use the touch pad to apply time-stretch, reverse-playback, pitch shift, or scratch effects to the samples for unlimited possibilities."
