Sanyo DP 10 Synthesizer Card Player Review

Published on Mar 7, 2013 musicgearvideos909·121 videos

"The Sanyo DP 10 is a card player synthesizer from the early 80s. Yamaha released a series of keyboards around the same time and Sanyo appears to have taken that technology into their unit. Like the Yamaha keyboards they accept cards that have a magnetic strip the reader recognises and plays a pre-programmed song. The cards features songs such as Dancing Queen, Londonderry Air, etc and a head cleaning card. The DP 10 can also mix signals into the unit via the 2 mic inputs and an auxiliary input to play along with another instrument or sing through a mic. You can also adjust the tone or change the tempo of he song. There is also a rhythm section for 10 different styles of music, such as march and disco, jazz and bossa nova."

I wonder if this is the one that was posted here. Never saw one before then. These two are the only Sanyo posts on the site. I'm curious if they ever made another synth/electronic instrument.

NINE INCH NAILS Novation Bass Station For Auction

via this auction

via the listing:

"NINE INCH NAILS owned Novation Bass Station Synthesizer.

I won this in the NINE INCH NAILS gear auctions in December 2009. It came in full working condition but with no power supply. I tracked down the original power supply from Novation and will include it.

There are six presets which I have not changed, so they are as they were from the auction (and presumably Trent when he last used it).

This synth was used during the making of the 1999 album The Fragile and is featured in pictures of Trent Reznor recording in the studio that was part of the Fragility Tour Program. Also, an interview in Keyboard Magazine"

MOOG SOUND LAB Season 3 | Toro Y Moi | So Many Details

Published on Mar 7, 2013 MoogMusicInc·228 videos

"Toro Y Moi took time out of their busy schedule to put in some time in the Moog Sound Lab. Chaz Bundick deconstructs and reworks "So Many Details" from his latest release "Anything in Return" creating a textural bed of bass with a Little Phatty while harmonizing with the Minimoog Voyager. The original version's synth bass line is played live on a bass guitar affected by the MF-101 to create the distinctive "talking wah" effect. The sequenced drums of the album give way to the analog sounds of 3 Rack Mount Voyagers being controlled by a Trap-Kat MIDI drum pad. Chaz's vocals combined with the Moog Guitar used throughout creates a soulful laid back version of the song.

" This is a very sought after unit. Purchased from an estate sale from original owner. Had it professional checked out, everything is working. The only issue is that its missing the back cover and is priced accordingly. I cut a piece of plexiglass to fit under the unit just to protect it. Unit is cosmetically in excellent shape no cracks or chips, very clean no other missing parts."

Ciate Lonbarde Rollz-5 Steampunk Drum Machine

You can find another design posted here.
Audio demos at the bottom of this post.

via etsy

"This is a Rollz-5 drum machine that I have hand built and housed in a vintage thermocouple connector box.

The drum machine has 6 drum voices that are triggered by a multitude of clocks that modulate each other to produce interesting repetitive sounds. The clocks are all generated by capacitor-resistor networks. The drum voices are all generated by ic's, mostly op-amp circuits. Have a look on the Ciat-Lonbarde website for more information on this drum machine.

I have retained as many of the original fittings as possible. So the central knob adjusts the master gain output. However, there are also 6 individual outputs to allow fine adjustments using an external mixer. There are Moog style fluted knobs to control the frequency cut-off of each of the drum voice.

All of the patch points are brass binding posts or banana sockets. This allows you to use bare wire or banana jacks to connect the circuits and drum voices together.

You can synchronise this drum machine with 5V signals from other equipment by plugging into any of the connectors.

The box is made from a hardwood with it's own original leather handle. It looks pretty stealthy for a drum machine. An etched brass plated is fixed to the inside lid to give basic instructions on how to operate the instrument.

Power is supplied via a 9V DC socket, you will have to supply your own power supply unit as countries have their own specific voltages and frequencies. I will not be supplying banana jack cables or an external mixer, sorry!

Here is a link to some sound files I produced using a Rollz-5.
https://soundcloud.com/circitfied/sets/rollz-5-samples

Incorporated in the sale of this item is a fee to the circuit designer.

The entire instrument measures:
(l) 33cm x (w) 30cm x (h) 18cm"

New 4ms Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO)

"Announcing the Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO)

Four independent LFOs:
Ping input jack
Tap tempo button
On/Mute button (latching)
Skew CV jack and knob
Reset jack
LFO output
LED indicates output level
Timing of each LFO is set by a clock (ping), either external or internal (tap tempo)
Ping button flashes to the incoming ping signal or internal tap clock
Mute/On button mutes the output, lights up when "On"
Skew CV gives continuous transition from ramp-up, to triangle, to ramp-down without changing overall length of curve
Knob provides offset for signal on the jack, or manual control if nothing is plugged into the jack
Minimum setting gives "plucky" curve (psuedo-expo fall)
Full range is 10V, so one LFO channel can be used to modulate another channel's Skew
Outputs can be polar or bi-polar: Jumper selects 0 to +10V (e.g. for driving a VCA), or -5V to +5V (e.g. for modulating parameters)
Reset jack re-starts LFO immediately
Reset changes the starting point of the LFO with respect to ping clock
Allows for easy quadrature outputs
Pressing the On/Mute button can optionally send a reset pulse (jumper must be installed)
Comparators on ping and reset jacks allow for any waveshape to be used for inputs
With an optional ribbon cable, ping jacks can be normalized to QCD clock outputs

12HP, 1.5” deep
Price TBD

Available: mid-April 2013 (watch 4mspedals.com or "4ms Company" on Facebook for updates)"

Steady State Fate PTG Sketchbook recording session 01

Steady State Fate PTG Sketchbook recording session 01 from VoltageCtrlR on Vimeo.

"This synth composition features the Positronic Transient Gate eurorack module by Steady State Fate.
I limited myself to only use the sound and sonic character of the PTG's outputs and vactrols to give the listener an idea of what this module will add to your system. The one thing i would like to point out about this module is that it will totally bring out some amazing sounds out of the most vanilla filters... why? because vactrols are magic. HAHA... all jokes aside the vactrol transient's really do bring out a unique sonic quality to everything they are applied to. I love what kind of sounds the PTG can get out of any bread and butter VCA and filter combo. The Universal Allpass Gate is absolutely the next evolution of what Don Buchla brought to modular synthesis with his Low pass gate design.

The Patch:
Moskwa Gate Out >>> to PTG In A
Envelator 1 Out>>> to PTG CV A (unipolar mode))
Piston Honda Out>>> to Triple Wave Folder>>> to PTG VCA Input

Step Sister first build - Mini sequencer controlled synthesizer - Featuring Daisy the cat

Published on Mar 7, 2013 ChrisLody·52 videos

"No animals were hurt during the making of this video. Seriously.

After a development period comprising of much swearing, procrastination and video gaming i have finally built my first test version of the Step Sister.

The Step Sister is a 1 to 10 analog step sequencer controlling a saw wave VCO, a low pass resonant VCF, and an AR envelope. There is also a gain knob which wave shapes the saw and over drives the filter. The steps in the analog sequencer can be set to any pitch rather than just notes in a scale and can be turned down low enough to be considered off, they have a useful range of about 3 1/2 octaves.

The Step Sister will be available to buy through my Etsy and Folksy shops once i've built a few more, they will be slighty more polished with a printed laminated legend above the controls instead of the Dymo labels.

This video also features some expert videobombing from Daisy the cat o_O
