"This is a short demonstration of the sounds and features of the Synare Sensor clone kit as designed and retailed by eBay member helensson. I purchased this kit a few weeks ago, constructed the circuit board over a few hours one evening and then bodged together the wooden case over the following morning. At the time of writing this kit is still sold by helensson on eBay.
There are already a few demos of this very kit but I thought I would stick one up that demonstrates almost all of the sound possibilities of this unit with clean line in audio."
via this auction"If you found this auction then I assume you know all about the Synare Sensor and the Synare 4 drum synthesizers. This is a direct clone of the Synare Sensor board .... Well...actually the original was single sided, where as this design is double sided with plated through holes....a much nicer design. This is true analog design...there are NO harsh square wave 555 timer chips here ..... no 4093...etc. All oscillations and modulations are produced by OpAmp circuits and The VCA section is built around the CA3080 OTA chip ..... for tried and true smooth analog synth tone!
In this kit I include the circuit board and all components needed to construct the module...I even include sockets for the ICs. The only things missing are knobs and a suitable enclosure. You may even want to get serious and use several of these kits to build a custom system. Also, the boards are small enough to install inside the shell of a small drum, just like the old Synare "UFO's".
As an option, the kit's potentiometers and power switch can easily be mounted off the board. This will allow you to use any existing or any custom enclosure desired.
All new quality components are used throughout the design and assembly instructions are included.
