"The Fritz Control Surface.
A circuit bent FX processing device.
by Big Pauper.
The Fritz Control Surface is a grimy and glitchy circuit bent video effects box . This device is capable of taking whatever composite (RCA) video footage you feed it and mangling it in a variety of noisy, disruptive and antisocial manners. It has a surprisingly wide array of different effects. It has ten knob based effects, three buttons that produce wild graphical noise and a patchable six-point sound-impulse based tonal manipulation section (put simply, music messes with colors). It is an incredibly stable series of bends perfect for producing dismal satellite transmissions, blocky 8-bit crap-scapes and vibrant lo-fi color drones. It is one of those beasts that the more I sit down with it the more new and weird effect combinations I discover. Just check out some of the videos. It was built in to a nice old vintage box with a healthy dose of rusty imperfect charm.
This device is perfect for:
Adding a unique look to your indie tv/film/event production.
Providing you with a variety of effects you can't get with After Effects.
Chaining in with your VJ visuals set-up.
Making lo-fi ambient videos.
Remixing episodes of Golden Girls.
Re-scrambling porno (for that teenage nostalgia).
This device is not perfect for:
Dancing with the Stars.
I built this device to employ in a number of visual arts projects I was working on (including work with Folktek). I am running a bit low on cash right now and have decided to sell it and a couple of my other creations (check my other auctions for more circuit bent visual devices). A good incentive to make more anyways.
This device was made to last. Although a device of this nature is fragile by design I have gone through great lengths to ensure that this device, although comprised of vintage and antique components, stands the test of time. It has been tightly assembled, designed with thought and built with solid parts. Should any technical issues arise in the first six months of ownership I am happy to service it for free (as long as it is not malfunctioning is a result of owner abuses). After that I am still happy to service it however buyer pays shipping both ways. The only known issue is that one of the old glitch switches is a little sticky.
Note: While this device does create cool and unusual effects without a time based correction unit, in order for some of the effects to display properly I recommend the use of one. For more check out this site: http://karlklomp.nl/inf/faq.html
Note: Although I am associated with Folktek as a visual artist/sound designer, this work is unaffiliated from the work of Ben, Arius & Folktek in general.
Note: You really have to crank incoming audio to see visualizations. Just the nature of the beast."

"Modified WJ-Ave3 video effects processor. w/ Control box, a hand crafted manual & ten patch cables.
Expanding upon the design of Karl Klomp this WJ-ave3 is the ultimate live glitch visual production tool. Every professional VJ should have one of these in their arsenal. As far as bending goes these things are like the SK1 of video world. It has an amazing way of fragmenting, fractalizing and freaking whatever video you process through it. It can take any incoming audio and (if loud enough) profoundly glitch the visuals in a variety of unique ways.. all in real-time. Just take a look at the videos below. I built a control box with a number of body contacts and potentiometers, all patchable for added control. My modified WJ has 9 glitch ports, 5 ports for the audio signal (one with it's own independent wet/dry knob), 4 patchable body contacts, 4 patchable potentiometers and also functions perfectly in it's original unmodified state. Functions as a glitch beast both with incoming audio and without. The physical condition of this unit is terrific as well!
This device is perfect for:
Adding a unique look to your indie tv/film/event production.
Providing you with a variety of effects you can't get with After Effects.
Using for live professional VJ work .
Making dubstep music videos.
Remixing episodes of Step By Step.

Roland 100m 184 Keyboard
via this auction
"This is the largest and most specified of the 100M keyboards. Although there are the same number of keys as the 181, i.e. 49 keys 4-octaves, the action is definitely an improvement on the other models. It has all the features of the 181 keyboard except for the 6 pin DIN socket. Power is via a captive mains lead, & not from the rack. It does have a number of useful additions over the 181. There is an arpeggiator with a rate control and hold, and four push buttons for selecting Up, Down, Up&Down, or Random modes. Plus an arpeggiator clock input on the rear for connecting to a drum machine or sequencer trigger output. There are 4 assign mode buttons for selecting two Unison (monophonic) modes and two Poly (4 voice) modes of playing. Next to these buttons is a hold (sustain) switch. The bender also has a pitch bend sensitivity knob. The Pitch Bend lever affects the notes played, and also has a dedicated CV output. The return to zero spring-loaded lever is very accurate and I find it much easier to use than the Doepfer Joystick, for example. The transpose switch only has two positions on this model, normal and 1 octave down. There is a knob for portamento which can be switched in or out. Along the rear of the keyboard are 4 CV and 5 Gate outputs. The fifth gate socket is a combined output of gates 1-4. and all the outputs are duplicated on mini and standard jack sockets which can be used simultaneously."

"I just heard that a compact BugModular system was lost/stolen after a gig in London recently. It is very recognisable as it was composed of various early/proto modules and I sold it off last year to raise funds when I moved.
There are some details on a MW forum thread here
And pictures from the Matrixsynth archive.
If anyone happens to hear/see anything, please let me know or contact details for Mari are on the MW forum thread.
Thanks,

"Lost on the 30th July between 6am and 8am, in either Hackney Wick or Hackney Central, perhaps on the overground train between the two. Housed in a large black soft carry case, with other items, AKG contact mic, Mackie mixer and various jack cables (Pink&Green).
This was a gift and is very sorely missed, please do contact if found or offered. Holds the folowing modules in order from left to right: Bugbrand - PWR, Bugbrand ENV1, Bugbrand Syn1, Bugbrand Syn2A x2, Bugbrand DD2, Bugbrand DD1,Bugbrand PR3A, PRC1, Bugbrand UTL2.
Please call or email me with any information: 07512336125 or marikingface@gmail.com"
And via BugBrand on Muff's:
"articular noticeable details -
Black Frame - the case is one of the old black ones, so is heavier than the more recent silver ones. There aren't all that many of the old style ones out there.
End-Cheeks - similarly, the cheeks are meant for the regular style frames so you can see there are 5 extra holes on each end + the nuts are attached on the outside.
Several thin-panel (ie. early/test) modules - very few of these are out in the wild. The thin-panel ones -> SYN1 Weevil, DD2 LFO/DCMix, DD1 BalMod/LPG, PRC1 PT Delay, UTL2 Output Mix.
The joystick is completely one-off."

Zebra2 Mini-Tutorial #29 - Everything Swings
YouTube Uploaded by uheplugins on Aug 10, 2011
"#29 - Everything Swings - 1m:39s
In most synthesizers, "swing" is only applied to the timing of an arpeggiator (or mini-sequencer). In Zebra2, swing also affects all synchronized LFOs used in the patch -- this "tutorial" is a simple demonstration of the feature plus how to add swing to delays. Note that Swing is not applied to standard envelopes (even when synchronized and looped) and that Swing factor is not a modulation target.
Steps in the video
I.
- Load initialize (not shown)
- Apply swing to an arpeggio
- Apply swing to an LFO
II
- Apply swing to a delay
Homework
You don't have to use the Swing knob whenever you want a swing effect. Try this: Load any patch you created according to tutorial #27 "Messing with MSEG 1", go into the Matrix and modulate MSEG1 loop rate with a synchronized LFO. Use "ModWhl" as the "Via" control, and turn it up."

Dirty Electronics Mute Synth from Dirty Electronics on Vimeo.
"Dirty Electronics Mute Synth promo made only with sounds from the Mute Synth with edits and processing. Photography and animation Stereographic (Birmingham). Performed by Burlesque artist Eliza DeLite.
The Mute Synth is a hand-held touch and tilt instrument with copper etched artwork and contoured printed circuit board that was designed in collaboration with Mute and graphic designer Adrian Shaughnessy. The instrument brings together many Dirty Electronics aesthetics and instrument designs into one device in particular creating an instrument ‘of the hand’ (in terms of both playing and building), a noise-based device that utilises feedback, and exploring the relationship between artwork and circuit board."

"Machinery" - on Yamaha HE-8
YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Aug 10, 2011
"This time I am getting a little psychedelic. I don't know why. It was just an idea I had to try. I must also admit that I am not really playing the sax in the intro. I play it on the Yamaha organ and afterwards I treated it with a flanging effect.
The song "Machinery" was included on one of the early albums by Sheena Easton but is not a typical Easton song. According to Wikipedia it was "a grab for the new wave audience" what ever that is supposed to mean...
But it is a favourite of mine."
Labels on YouTube have the Roland CR-1000 listed and the Roland JX-8P.
