Metasonix TM-4 Vacuum Tube Amplifier

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

via this auction

via the seller: "Up for grabs is the uber hard to find unobtanium rare TM-4 stereo amplifier from Metasonix. All knobs and jacks are tight. There are a few small slight fading on a couple of the letters on the module and a small chip in the paint where the screw is but other than that it's in mint shape. I found this in a mosaic store in Tokyo Japan a few years ago and have never seen another before or after that anywhere. There were less than 10 made of this and Eric decided not to make any for sale due to it overheating. It has been used sparingly and only powered on for a few minutes at a time to record stuff and then quickly shut off. It sounds unreal and it is in perfect working condition and cosmetically perfect except for the 2 mentioned things. You are not going to see another let alone hear one in use so do not miss your chance to get this unique effect that no one else will have. Comes with TM-4 module itself, original manual and power supply. Serial # 5"

Roland TR909 Factory Demo & a Deal of a Lifetime



"Did anyone know that a Roland TR909 had a factory demo track when you purchased it? I did a factory reset on mine and it has this cool uber-80s pattern

This is totally dry recorded straight into Ableton Lite via my Saffire pro audio interface , wait, it may have like 8% reverb on the hats and kick, but I am not on that computer anymore, Ill check later"

Update: Turns out this particular TR-909 was also quite a steal.  The following is an exchange I had with dude163 on how he managed to pick it up (posted with permission of course - check out my 909 story next!):

"it was a bad phone picture
an incorrect listing
" Roland analog drum machine"
and it was wrong location, by 3000KM
it looked like a scam TBH, so I emailed them ASAP as they were asking 350$
I then emailed using 2 diff addresses , and no luck
cut to the next day, I was out looking for a motorcycle maybe , and came home and as I sat down I got an email notification, from a lady who said " sorry Im at teh cottage , yes its still for sale"
so I called her up and asked her 2 questions , does it work and is it clean?
" yes and yes "
" Il be right over!!!" " Oh Im at work and live 130 KM away "
dang " what time do you get home from work? " " 515"
I was there at 520
someone else had lowballed her 300 and she turned it down , it turns out, her husbands brother used it in a CHURCH ensemble in the 90s to replace their drummer and " we didnt need a tambourine player anymore"
so it was dirty and crackly so they knocked off 50$ , so i got a TR909 for 300 dollars canadian
the strange part about the whole story was I told her that it was worth a lot more on ebay m and she sayd " I know, like 3000 but I hate ebay, such a hassle"
" Oh Ok " then she says " robert , are you a musician?"
" yes , why?"
" Ok in that case well still sell it to you for 350"
like WTF!!!!"

Drone Lab | Nosaj Thing | Moog Werkstatt Workshop


Published on Aug 7, 2015 Moog Music Inc

"At Slingshot 2015, a multi-disciplinary celebration of the arts in Athens, Georgia, Moog Music presented a unique synth-building workshop. Led by Moog Engineer Chris Howe, attendees learned the fundamentals of synthesis from the ground up by building a Werkstatt-01 analog synthesizer kit.

Once built, the 12 attendees crafted drone patches. Later that evening, Alpha Pup recording artist Nosaj Thing took control of all 12 synthesizers, adding and subtracting their signals in a long-form drone performance. The improvised result was an ever-shifting and complex soundscape.

After his performance, Nosaj Thing designed 12 evolving drones with the Werkstatt-01 that we are making available to you.

Download the Werkstatt-01 drone patches designed by Nosaj Thing at www.soundcloud.com/moogmusicinc [embed below]

Experiment with stacking and layering Nosaj Thing's Werkstatt-01 drones to create your own shifting palettes. Run them through filters and compressors, or use them as background textures to lay other sonic components on top of.

However you choose to use them, experimenting and learning will reward you with a lifetime of rich synthesizer experiences.

Extremely Rare Vintage Maxon Mariner MX-2 Keyboard Synthesizer


This one in via electraumatisme.

So how rare? I've never seen or come across one in the ten years of running MATRIXSYNTH. This appears to be the first Maxon Mariner MX-2 post on the site out of 128,070 posts on the site including this one to date. Tracking everything synth seven days a week, it's a super rare treat coming across a vintage synthesizer you've never seen before. If anyone knows more about the Mariner feel free to leave a comment. There are 14 previous Maxon posts mainly for their drum synth and effects.

The Mariner appears to have the following sections:

- Tune
- Tone Source with two oscillators
- Noise Source
- Modulator Section with one LFO and four destinations
- Resonant Filter with ENV modulation and Pitch knob
- ADSR, Transpose, Source Select, Bender Select & Portamento controls to the left of the keyboard

The description from the listing follows in French followed by a Googlish translation to English.

via the seller: "Two Thousand Six Hundred clone, semi-modular, analog synthesizer that was build with care, tested and tuned with precision to fit in any musical setup. Although Its slightly smaller in size, the TTSH is a resurrection of the classic hybrid-modular synth, ARP 2600 AKA the original Star Wars R2D2 voice. It offers 3 oscillators, endless modulation possibilities and a built in 4AB3A1B reverb tank for extra long and warm decays. I've added 1/4" jacks at the back for extra left and right ins and outs which makes up for a more standard patching scenario in todays world. It is very easy to setup in any midi situation, just connect any midi controller, sequencer with a CV/Gate out to the CV/Gate input on the TTSH and you're ready to explore a universe of endless soundscape possibilites! I recommend anyone passionate about analog synths to go the extra mile and get this one, it's a musical beast, a must have!!"

Pittsburgh Modular Announces New VERBTRONIC Eurorack Module




via Pittsburgh Modular

"Reverb creates the illusion of space, adding another dimension to sound and offering a sense of time and distance. The Verbtronic digital reverb module generates spaces large enough to overwhelm sounds and smear the audio spectrum with a wash of relentless reflections and echoes, building a tidal wave of never-ending feedback.

'Space...is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.' - Douglas Adams

We did not design the Verbtronic to mimic the real world; instead we have created a reverb full of lush, artificial spaces that blend perfectly with the electronic sounds of modular synthesis.

The Verbtronic controls offer a full palette of reverberation effects. Tonal Tilt shifts the frequency emphasis from low and dark to high and bright, acting as a tone control for the reverberated signal. The Feedback knob sends a variable portion of the output signal back into the input, creating results similar to simultaneously adjusting both reverb density and decay time. The Verbtronic voltage controlled Mode switch flips between two unique reverbs: Verb mode is a shorter, more natural sounding reverb, perfect for augmenting leads and more fragile sounds; and Tronic mode creates a much larger, synthetic sounding reverb. The voltage controlled Output Mix knob smoothly shifts between the dry input signal and 100% reverb. Giant percussion drowning in feedback and alien soundscapes are just the beginning....Mix in a touch of reverb to add a sense of space or turn it up for full signal saturation. Dial in the perfect mix for any sound.

Price, Availability, and More Information
The suggested retail price for the Verbtronic module is $199 and it begins shipping to our dealers August 14. More information available at pittsburghmodular.com/verbtronic."
