MFB Microzwerg monophonic analogue Midi & CV synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"MICROZWERG not only bridges the gap between NANOZWERG and KRAFTZWERG. Due to its dual multimode-filter, it also offers an individual signal-path with specific sound potential. MICROZWERG’s numerous patch connections are simply inviting to be modulated by our flexible step-sequencer URZWERG or to interact with the multifunctional MEGAZWERG.

Individually operated and due to its dual oscillators and dual multimode-filter, MICROZWERG offers a lot more than typical analogue basses and lead sounds. Prepare yourself for some special timbres. The signal path and modulations are quickly reconfigured using a few patch chords with the result of an enormous boost in sonic variety. Combined with other members of MFB’s ZWERG synthesizer family or even a modular system, MICROZWERG’s possibilities grow further.

A brief overview to the sections of MICROZWERG:
Both oscillators offer triangle, saw tooth and rectangle waveform shapes. Where oscillator 1 also offers a needle impulse, VCO 2 has a built-in noise generator. VCO 2 can be detuned by plus minus one octave in reference to VCO 1. Both oscillators can also be synced, using a patch connection. In addition, the separate output of VCO 2 can be used to modulate the filter. Finally, ring modulation is possible in combination with MEGAZWERG, where the ring modulated output can be fed back into MICROZWERG.

"Synth is in great condition with just minor cosmetic defects from use, particularily on the metal edging of the end panels (see photos). I bought this from Tom Shuman, the keyboard player for Spyro Gyra, in 2007. I had it serviced by The Good Guys in St. Paul MN, who have a lot of experience with vintage synths and were working on a MemoryMoog when I brought it in. Everything has been cleaned, calibrated, bad pots replaced, etc. It looks and sounds great and is ready to go. All of the keys work, including the after-touch, and there are no scratchy pots or switches. The ribbon controller is in great condition. As you can see from the pictures there are no broken keys or missing knobs..."

MFB SEQ-01 Drum Sequencer & Eurorack Synthesizer Drum Modules

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

MFB SEQ-01 Drum Sequencer via this auction

"Complementing MFBs new DRUM-modules, MFB announces SEQ-1. A trigger-sequencer specialized on creating rhythmic patterns.

SEQ-01 allows to build 16 patterns each consisting of up to 32 steps. All patterns can be saved and consist of 12 tracks.

Patterns offer switchable A/B-parts that can also be used as 2-bar-patterns.

Each step of the 12 tracks can be programmed in one out of three accent values.

„Pattern +“ and „Pattern –“ inputs allow switching to adjacent pattern by trigger signals.

Start/stop and tempo (Clock) can be accessed directly on the module but also be controlled through external signals.

Vice versa, the SEQ-1’s clock output and start and stop functions can be used to control other modules.

RESET allows resetting the selected sequence back to step 1.

SEQ-01 is not only useful to control drum and percussive sounds. Modular synthesizers offer lots of options for trigger-based control like sample ?& hold, switches, clock-dividing, sequencers, logic modules, envelopes and more.

An example: while standard S?&H or clock divider modules are usually fed by a linear clock, the SEQ-1 turn this into rhythmic triggering!

And because the SEQ-1 offers 12 trigger outputs you will surely have some spare outputs for special purposes beside triggering your drum-modules."

MFB Drum-04 Bass Drum Eurorack Synthesizer Module via this auction

"The DRUM-04 module is based upon the circuit used in the MFB-503. It offers a tight bass drum that is adjustable over a wide range in both pitch and decay.

Due to the construction of DRUM-04 as a modular component, the bass drum’s sound parameters Attack, Decay, Tune and Pitch can be addressed through CV-signals from envelopes, LFOs sequencers etc.

Attack adds a short impulse to the sound. By mixing this with the main bass drum sound, the result offers added percussiveness.

Decay controls the release length of the sound. The decay can last up to 2 seconds.

Tune sets the bass drum’s basic pitch between approximately 30 Hz and 100 Hz.

Pitch controls the duration of a applied pitch modulation. The depth of this modulation is fixed.

Drive defines the amount of overdrive applied to the bass drum.

Noise adds a variable amount of noise to the sound.

The module accepts different trigger signal types. These signals do not necessarily need to be analogue or digital triggers. You may also use drum pads, piezo-pickups or even dynamic microphones. Use the sensitivity control to adapt for the input signal. Dynamic trigger signals will not only affect the volume but also attack, decay and pitch."

MFB Drum-05 Snare Drum Eurorack Synthesizer Module via this auction

"Analog snare drum module. The circuitry is from the snare drum of MFBs 503 drum computer but it has been modified and extended with CV inputs for controlling parameters.

- Snap is the decy time of the noise that can be up to 2 seconds.
- Decay controls the tonal decay time of the two oscillators that can range up to one second.
- Tune is used to set the general tunig of the snare drum. Frequency range from approx. 100 to 400 Hz.
- Pitch controls the length of the pitch bend, while the modulation depth is fixed.
- with D-Tune you can detune the two oscillators of the snare
- Noise adds a analog noise to the sound to emulate the snare wires

The snare drum module can be triggered with different signals. This doesn´t have to be an analog or digital trigger signal; you can also use drum pads, piezos or dynamic microphones. You can control the input sensitivity with the Sens parameter. When using dynamic triggers, not only the volume will be affected but also snap, decay and pitch!"

MFB Drum-07 HiHat / Cymbol Eurorack Synthesizer Module via this auction

"Analog drum module for creating HiHat (open and closed) and cymbal sounds. The circuitry is based on the hi hat-section of MFB´s 522 but instead of white noise a "metallic" mix of oscillator sounds is used.

Following parameters can be edited: tune (for all three instruments), decay of open hi hat, decay of closed hi hat, decay of cymbal, tone of cymbal.

Additionally the decays of cymbals and the hihats can be controlled by voltages.

All CV inputs have attenuators. The trigger inputs of the thre instruments are equipped with sensitivity controls.

A special feature of the cymbal sound is the Tone-Input which gives you the possibility to use external sounds instead of the internal square wave generators."

MFB Drum-08 Clap Eurorack Synthesizer Module via this auction

"The Drum-08 is MFB´s new module for generating analog clap drum sounds. Due to the two audio output you can use it in stereo, too.

Drum-08´s circuitry is based on the clap of MFB´s own 522 but it has more parameters: Reverb (decay of noise), Claps (number of claps), Space (distance between claps), Decay and basis (stereo width of the signal).

Additionally there are CV inputs for the claps, space and decay parameters. The trigger input has a sensitivity control."

"'Haxxor HR-16' Drum Machine & friends (November 2013).

Just testing out a new circuit bent drum machine, along with some other favored devices.

This is an interesting set-up - the Little 'Kawai R-50e' is providing master MIDI sync and triggering to the little yellow drum synth thing (via it's built in MIDI - Trigger Converter). One of the R-50e's MIDI triggers is acting as a clock signal and is used to sync the Monotribe.
The 'Haxxor HR-16' is also synced to the R-50e via the MIDI thru on the yellow thing.

I'll make a separate video to show the new 'Haxxor HR-16' within the new few days."
