"http://www.synthrotek.com Check out our newest Kit for sale NOW. A classic Passive Ring Modulator. Here are the Features:
- Passive Ring Modulator requires no battery power
- Input signals such as guitar and bass may need to be preamplified
- Low part count and quick assembly. Classic 2x transformer - 4x germanium diode ring design. Schematic, assembly instructions, and Bill of Materials are available on our site.
- Selling two versions - one with 1/4" jacks, one with 1/8" jacks.
- Small size circuit, VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE - THE simplest rewards, little work big payoff. 10 Min of solder work, 5 is heating up iron
- Multiple applications - synths, drum machines, computer audio programs, guitars (may need a preamp/buffer), theremins, output of pedals (delay, for example) modulating original signal,
experiment to find what you're looking for, try different combinations of inputs and outputs for otherworldly sci-fi sounds
- The two input signals are MULTIPLIED together and produce sideband frequencies that are the sum and difference of the frequencies present in the two signals.
- Sounds like old sci-fi sound effects and produces an unlimited amount of bizarre sounds. Depending on the two frequencies
You need 2 input signals, which both work together and off each other to create unique sounds.
MANY weird sounds, by changing the inputs"

Prototype shift register sequencer
"Breadboard prototype of a 16-step random sequencer, something between the Wiard Noise Ring web.archive.org/web/20090410072322/http://www.wiard.com/1200/NR/Noise_Ring.html the CGS Gated Comparator cgs.synth.net/modules/cgs13_gated_comparator.html and Nav's BITSY navsmodularlab.blogspot.com/2011/10/bitsy-stepped-cv-generator-recorder.html
Looping starts about 30 seconds in - until then it is just taking random data and turning it into voltages.
It takes random noise (haven't tuned that part very well yet, as you can see), to fill up 4 x 4 step 4015 shift registers, shifted by a clock input. The shift registers are looped - either after 8 or 16 steps.
8 of the steps are fed into a DAC0800 analog/digital converter, which produces a 0-8 volt output.
Plenty left to do..."

Steiner-Parker Microcon Analog Synthesizer Module
via this auction
"Contains one calibrated and one uncalibrated Voltage Input to the oscillator, one CV input to the VCF, one positive trigger input, one negative trigger input, and an audio output.
Single VCO with 3 waveforms, coarse and fine tuning. LFO level, rate, beat/vibrato. VCF frequency, gain, resonance. Envelope generator has attack, decay, sustain, damp. VCA triggered audio gate.
Designed by Nyle Steiner, inventor of the EVI and EWI (Electronic Valve and Wind Synthesizers)
The power supply was replaced and unit tuned two years ago by Matt Traum at Patchman Music. Replaced the old dried out rubber feet.
Works great - tested today using a Frostwave fatCONTROLLER analog sequencer and Lyricon Driver.
The only quirk is that the change in sound on the waveform switch is extremely subtle, so I'm not sure if that is intended or if the switch is dirty. Other than that everything sounds fantastic."

And much more:
"If Puredata and Supercollider are two synths, din is a synth of a 3rd kind.
It forgets history,
To not repeat it.
It doesnt hide analog music hardware,
In digital music software.
You had pulse, sine, triangle and sawtooth,
And went forth and made electronic music.
Now there is just the Bezier curve.
Go make your pulse, sine, triangle and sawtooths.
Or this, this, this and this.
This is nothing new.
Some old men did it in the 60s!
Punched numbers into cards.
Now you edit waveforms in a GUI,
And watch the sound change before your very ears.

Its got DADSARSADS.
Filters?
Infinite length delay lines.
With Bezier envelope for feedback and volume.
Modulation?
Bezier on Carrier and Modulator.
Eat that Chowning.

Notes! Notes! Notes!
Infinite microtones between two tones.
Livecoding?
In Tcl.
Like LISP, but no ((((:-))))
Collaboration?
MIDI. OSC. IRC.
I want two!
Get it while it's free." Videos on site.
