The Intellijel uFold
"Presenting the Intellijel uFold!A collaborated design with Davd G. Dixon.
Thanks also to Haven for great advice on features and beta testing.
-6HP and skiff friendly
-Fold control with CV input and dedicated attenuator
-Thru-zero symmetry control with bipolar CV input and dedicated attenuator
-Stages switch to select 2, 4 or 6 stages of folding
-Trimmer on back to set the maximum drive amount in order to limit the range of the timbre shaping to a more subtle amount if needed.
-DC coupled inputs so you can feed CV to be folded as well.
-MSRP $160.00
We looked very closely at how some of the most loved timbre shaping circuits worked in classic synth modules. Not in how they were implemented electronically but how they sounded and how efficient they were to get great sounds. It was important to us that our design was very versatile in range of timbres but still easy to use and well thought out control ranges.
We will be posting ample demos of how this sounds and looks on the scope very soon.
Now combining the Dixie, uVCA, uFade and uFold you can achieve extremely complex palette of sounds with just a few modules!
These come out of production on Monday and should be ready to ship to distributors before x-mas."

Octatrack meets Monotron Duo and Monotron Delay

The Octatrack twists and bends the sounds to generate new interesting patterns. In the last section the two Korgs are mixed in with the sounds coming from the Octatrack.

The Judge - V1.00 alpha.AVI
YouTube Uploaded by dolphinicus on Dec 14, 2011
"The Judge - invented in 2010 by Ryk John Miller Thekreator - allows the user of a step sequencer to set a control for each step that determines it's AMOUNT OF CHANCE of playing, from 0% (step will not play upon activation) all the way up to 100% (step WILL play on every activation). The amounts of chance on every step that it will play upon activation are determined by the amount set on that Step's control, compared to a random sample from a white noise source.
Much fine tuning still has to be done for setting the levels properly but finally - the hardware version of The Judge - which I have not been able to find any version of this done in a hardware or software music sequencer in history before this, is up and running in alpha mode.
If anyone can provide proof of this function having been done before by any hardware or software music sequencer, please let me know where I may witness this.
The areas in which this 'engine' may be used aren't endless but the number of the uses in music, is staggering.
There'll be much more to come as I continue to develop this invention further."

"Yamaha PSS30 built for mechanical cabaret (www dot mechanicalcabaret dot com)
Mods include:
PT2399 ;death industrial' delay circuit with rate, feedback and white noise filter
LTC1799 pitch mod with 555 square wave lfo
Low pass/high pass selectable resonant filter with gain, resonance and cutoff. The gain can be overdriven for some good filtered distortions on basses and cutoff modulation on drum patterns.
Thre damage control parameters (drone/overdrive/bit crusher))
Silent power supply: Filters out the 50/60hz hum associated with cheap wall wart mains adapters making for an excellent signal to noise ratio and a very smooth filter response.
I used the pss's in built sequencer to record the bassline on the first section of the video. It's simple but effective and can hold a suprising number of notes. Witht he pitch swept low the processor runs at a fraction of it's original speed meaning it can run for ages. It leaves free the two noto poliphony of the keyboard while playing the recorded line and also allows you to select a seperate sound to that being played by the sequencer."

CME VX-6 Midi Controller with Use Audio ASX Plugiator Synthesizer
via this auction
"This rare and beautiful CME VX-6 is a powerful full featured Midi Master Keyboard Controller with an installed soft synth plugin player card. The lovely metallic red aluminum case contains a 61 note keyboard, pitch and mod wheels, ribbon controller, motorized sliders, lots of knobs, switches and pads, a numeric keypad, sequencer transport control buttons, "U-Control" for plugin compatibility with computer software and more plus there is additionally an installed ASX Plugiator synthesizer card by Use Audio.
The ASX Plugiator contains modeled instruments by CreamWare, including B-4000 (a Hammond B3 based model), Minimax (a Minimoog model), Pro-12 (a Prophet 5 model), Vocodizer (a vocodor) and more!
The 9 sliders can act as drawbars for the installed B-400 soft synth or any other parameter or control in all the Plugiator soft synths, as well as your external modules or computer. The sliders are motorized so they can run an automation sequence to provide amazing evolving, moving sounds. This instrument is very unusual and powerful, as well as absolutely lovely to look at and awesome to play.
Roland JX-8P Synth with PG-800 Programmer & Original Boxes & Manuals
via this auction"It has 6 voice polyphony with full midi control. It has an internal memory and also memory card slot for patch storage. The signal path is analogue but with 2 DCO's per voice (digitally controlled oscillators) so it maintains pitch but retains that fantastic thick and warm analogue sound everyone craves. The 61 note keyboard is comfortable to play and adequately responsive with velocity and aftertouch. One of the slight drawbacks of this synth is programming due to the membrane button matrix and slider. However this one ships with the additional and rare PG-800 controller which enables the user real-time control of all the synth's parameters making composing and playing an infinite joy."
