Googlish: "You can bid on an absolute rarity of synthesizer history here ...! Did the camp clean up my studio a real treasure rediscovered! Namely, a fully analog constructed synthesizer modular system built in instructions from Dieter Doepfer himself!, I had the noble sound box then in a music store that specializes in consignment sales had bought for a small fortune, but it never took the lack of time in operation! Clean sealed in foil, it was obvious for years forgotten in the other analog synthesizers into oblivion! But since I'm mitlerweile based purely digital and VST, I would like to express sounded like the screw out the instrument of his true destiny!! Is a unique opportunity and a unique piece! Following Mudule are installed: 1x Flanger, 1x Sampl and Hold, 1x mixer, 4x VCO controlled with pulse width and pulse width modulation, 4x VCF Fm 1xMULT, 4x VCA with AM, 4x ADSR, 1x 4x LFO 1x up-down! Private auction, therefore no return and warranty services included in the offer! Lot of fun and bidding!"

Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO) basic features demo

Published on Apr 18, 2013 4mspedals .·74 videos

"New from 4ms! QPLFO ships April 25, 2013!

The Quad Pingable LFO is a compact, playable four-channel tap-tempo, clock-syncable LFO with variable skew and reset.

The QPLFO is designed to be useful in small portable systems that require maximum functionality in minimal space, as well as large systems that need maximum modulation sources.

**Basic features**
* Quad "pingable" LFO's -- frequency is set by time between pulses ("ping")
* Each of the 4 channels is an independent LFO
* Can produce a variety of waveshapes: "Pluck," to ramp-down, to triangle, to ramp-up, and all shapes in between
* Channels can easily modulate, trigger, and reset each other for complex and slowly morphing outputs
* Slowest period is about 71 minutes (0.0002 Hz), fastest speed is about 500Hz (marginal tracking up to 1kHz)
* Tap tempo button is free-running (LFO runs indefinitely), but external clock/Ping is auto-stopping (LFO stops when external clock stops)

**Controls and jacks**
* Tap tempo button ("Ping") for manually setting the tempo
* Ping jack sets tempo with an external clock (any complex signal can be used as a clock)
* On/mute button enables or mutes the output (latching button)
* Skew knob and CV jack control the waveshape by altering the ratio between rise and fall times
* Reset jack restarts the LFO without changing the tempo (rising edge triggered)
* OUT jack outputs either a 0 to 10V waveshape, or a -5V to +5V waveshape (jumper selectable)
* LED flashes and dims to the signal on the OUT jack
* Tap tempo button flashes to the internal tap-tempo clock or to incoming pulses on the Ping jack
* On/Mute button lights up when channel is On

For details and more advanced features (Floating Reset, One-shot mode, Fire-on-unmute, headers for connecting to other modules, etc...), see the User Manual at http://4mspedals.com/qplfo.php"

I have just had this serviced for sale. As part of the service i had a whole new set of ALPS switches installed (those are the buttons you use for tapping in the sequence etc). I also had all six of the control pots replaced with new ones. In other words, this TB-303 is mechanically like new."
