"This is a mega rare digitally controlled analog synthesizer. I was told that Radiohead used one of these on the Kid A album. It's a very unique and special synthesizer with multiple uses and many exotic sounds. There is a string section called Instastrings, a polyphonic section called Polytron and a monophonic section called Monotron. There is two separate outs in the back for poly and mono. The string section has preset buttons with the following sounds: Sustain, Violas, Violins The poly section has preset buttons with the following sounds: Brass I, Brass II, Horns, Chorus, Vibrato Delay The mono section has preset buttons with the following sounds: Synthy Wah, Reed, Funky Solo, Jazz Pulse, Pop Synthy, Trombone, Trumpet, Pan flute, Mod, SEC, Chorus, Auto Bender There is a 4 knob control section on the far right with a volume, Tone, Portamento and Tune."
A new release in our line of Vako Orchestron discs, SOLO TRUMPET. It's unlikely that there will be sufficient demand to do a second run of 25 of these discs, so your best bet is to buy as many of these as you need while you can! Any future additional copies will most likely be done as one-offs, which are twice as expensive to produce, and thus will cost twice as much.
SOLO TRUMPET is an entirely NEW sound for the Orchestron. This is an actual acoustic trumpet sound, taken from the original Optigan/Orchestron master tapes, but never actually heard on any Optigan or Orchestron disc until now! Please excuse my awful playing here, which is just a quick noodle to demonstrate the sound!
PLEASE NOTE: This disc WILL NOT play properly in an Optigan! They WILL play, but the sounds will NOT be mapped correctly to the keyboard- they will be mapped mostly haphazardly across the chord buttons. Please don't order this disc expecting to easily use it in an Optigan. In the future we will be porting the Orchestron sounds to the Optigan- please be patient! :)
Stay tuned for more Orchestron discs, both new and remastered titles!"

"The SFX6 has a joystick which the SFX60 units lack, the joystick is amazingly expressive and make the SFX6 much more powerful for live usage. The keyboard also has LED's above each key which makes playing it lots of fun and has improved my playing skill dramatically. Only 500 of the full keyboard SFX6 keyboards were made. This is one of the 1st batch of 100 unit made. Included is the original box, the original manual (not pictured), and the original power supply..."

"This is a test of a sequence before and after the installation of a new STG Soundlabs mixer module. The STG Mixer is a Moog CP3 Clone, and I'm hoping to get closer to the classic Moog Thump (a vague subjective description, I know)."

All known bugs were fixed so 'Trans Computer Maschine' just ended its beta stage and v1.05 is ready for download.
Please spend a little time and check it out, I renamed the presets so it's indicated when it is for synth or sequencer playing (I know people thinking the plug-in was not working because they couldn't make a sound quickly).
Check the included documentation if want to, but I'm sure will be very easy for anyone to make new sounds just having a look to the presets.
freeware for the world, KVRDC12 still going on...
Cheers,

Update via wallyaudio in the comments: "Trans Computer Maschine v1.07 released - It's smoother!
Hi everybody,
Here's probably the last update for the KVRDC12. Updates after the contest might come with added features.
The v1.07 fixes are related to subtle clipping issues, probably unnoticeable for most people but I'm sure 'golden ears' will appreciate such improvement:
- Fixed high mixer levels causing internal clipping.
- Fixed Triangle and Saw-Triangle waves making 'clicks' when changing notes.
"It has been recently (July) fully overhauled by James Walker of Synth Repair Services. It has had all of the input and output sockets replaced with new SwitchCraft sockets. The high level output, which is usually on a phono socket, has been switched over so now the high output is on 1/4" standard jack. It has had a Filter CV input socket fitted to allow CV control of the Low Pass filter, leaving the pedal input free to Osc 2 pitch etc.
In addition it has a new UK power supply, new trimmers, Op amps, keyboard bushes and been recapped. All of the sliders, which with age can get stiff, have been stripped down, cleaned out and relubbed and work like new. To finish it off it has new slider caps fitted and been completely recalibrated and tuned..."
"Korg SR-120 Automatic Rhythm Instrument, manufactured for Univox. Made in Japan and originally released in 1970's. Has 6 sounds (BD, SD, Cy/HH, low conga, high conga, claves) & 16 preset rhythms (slow rock, swing, bossa nova, beguine, rumba, mambo, samba, waltz, tango, polka, foxtrot, march, rock 1 to 4). Works well and its quite clean for its age..."
" Comes with Kenton Kadi midi, which costs quite a bit to install and the Kadi unit itself costs $300. The Kenton Kadi works great and is amazingly simple to use (unlike the Kenton red button midi which is a bit more complicated). See pictures below for more details. Included is TR808, Kenton Kadi, kadi cable, power supply for kadi unit and kadi manual as well. This is the dream 808 setup if you want midi functionality and the classic sound to rock with. Or course you can still use this unit as a normal 100% functional stock TR808, the Kenton doesn't effect it's normal functionality at all. If you want to go into Kenton mode you just flip the switch and you can trigger midi notes via any midi sequencer."
"Probably the most musical and involving filter unit ever - you know what this sounds like, but until you've played with one you don't realise how great it sounds... Deep, deep subs; Mutron-style envelopes; can turn almost any sound into music; makes a soft synth hard; so much fun to be had..."
"This is the first demo of the complimentary synth to the micromac series. 4 Oscillators, Dual State Variable Filter and 4 Envelope generators should get you started, The touch keyboard rounds it up! See you at NAMM '13!"
"The mh11 offers a new take on the basic sequencer concept. An analogue to digital converter generates 256 patterns. The notes and direction stay the same, but the sequence of steps that actually get played is under manual or voltage control..."
