Introducing the Phase Engineering LEQ-5 Eurorack Module


video upload by Steve Turner

"You definitely want to listen to the demos through decent speakers or headphones. The bass adjustments wont be clear through frequency limited laptop or phone speakers.

The LEQ-5 is now in production and you can order the LEQ-5 by emailing info@phase.engineering directly.

You can also read my first impressions article on my website blog, https://steveturner.com.au/blog/blog/..."



"The LEQ-5 is the first module by Australian music technology designer, Phase Engineering. I am lucky to have one of six units that exist today, but a formal release will occur in the last half of 2024. Warren, the man behind the brand, is also the lead hardware engineer for Innerclock Systems who makes the fabulous Sync-Gen technology..."

2 Dudes and a CS-80 / Part #1


video upload by HanzVolt

"My friend and I had a rare opportunity to play with the Legendary Yamaha CS-80 for a couple hours... This is part 1 of 3 videos where we are just tinkering around with the beast and hearing how delicious it sounds. Forgive the camera angle. This opportunity was pretty much spur of the moment and this is what it looked like..........✌🏼‪@JMLRecording‬"

Bilma Raspberry Pi Pico Based DIY Drum Module


video upload by Maarten Hofman

"This is my second Eurorack synthesizer. It is notable for being only 4 centimeters deep and solid enough to drop from a meter high and only damage what it falls on, and not itself. The case has room for 78 HP worth of modules. All the current modules are 6 HP, some of them are described in the video. The case itself also offers power (700mA for all voltages), MIDI (1 1v/oct, 4 paraphonic pulse waves, 5 drum channels), a hardware spring reverb (barely fit) and a headphone amplifier that can mix two mono signals.

License for the samples used (and the code for the Raspberry Pi PICO drum module):
https://github.com/cashimor/eurorack/..."

"Bilma is a Raspberry Pi pico based drum module. It features 8 local sets, and 4 sample based sets. It has a dial to select the kit, and a dial to change the output filter, which for some reason has some overdrive. The python file works, but the gerber files and schematic have not been tested.

Original file: https://github.com/todbot/circuitpython-tricks/blob/main/larger-tricks/pidaydrummachine.py

samples from https://freesound.org -- License: Creative Commons 0 samples set 1 from: Trvth (Snare1Drum, PedalHiHat1, Ride1Drum, HiHatOpen1Drum, Bass1Drum, Crash1Drum) samples set 2 from: BaDoink (Drum Kit Pack 1), DigitalUnderglow (drumhit_Clap3) samples set 3 from: RytmenPinnen (SemiLoopDrumsamples), ankealtd (Meinl_Byzance_16_Extra_Dry_Thin_Crash_H_3) samples set 4 from: IanStarGem (Electronic Snare Drum 4, Simple Kick Drum, Electronic Closed Hihat #2, Electronic Snare Drum #3) additional samples from: pomeroyjoshua (Anu Clap 06, HH Op 04)

This is a tested circuit. The PCB and schematic will work as included in this repository. Bugs: Access to the USB connector is a bit cramped after placing the PICO on the board, but it would work with a 90 degree connector.

The 'beat.c' file is for a 16F684 to add a drum sequencer."

"This amazing bit of synth design is in excellent cosmetic condition, except for missing two of the mushrooms. The bad news: it appears to be a long time since it produced audio. Bought new by the present owner (***correction, he was the second owner***) at great expense, of course it had some use in his personal studio for a time, and then stopped working. So it was put away - stored very carefully by the look of it. The good news: because of this, it has had very little use, so there should be no parts that are anywhere near worn out.

Our brilliant tech James has now solved the problem, and this is back to making stunning sounds. The iffy HD has been replaced with a SATA SSD. (Original HD has been backed up as a restorable image file for future reference). There is nothing else quite like this in the synth universe.

Further good news: Axel Hartmann is kindly sending us the spare mushroom controllers needed to make this machine perfect again. So please ignore the photos showing any missing - they will be present and correct. Packing 24GBP."

Oberheim OB-X 8-voice & multimode VCF mod

"Even more of a classic than the OB-Xa, this beauty from around 1981 has been fully serviced in August 2024. It has a very unusual and useful mod where the cassette level switch is re-purposed as a noise switch and the filter can be multi-mode. ***More info: OB-X filter mod based on SEM. The mod uses the repurposed Noise buttons to choose LP/ Band/ HP Filters. Therefore patches can be saved with filter type setting. The noise modes are now accessible via the Cassette Monitor Switch. The new switch for cassette monitor is now mounted inside the synth. Considering the Memory Protect switch is already inside the synth and needs to be switched when loading patches from cassette (or these days a WAV), this new location is not an inconvenience. Most importantly the mods are all non-destructive and can be removed if desired. Also utilises the Magnetic RAM card so no battery is needed http://www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/mram.html *** Very similar serial number (804109) to the Radiophonic Workshop OB-X, which was 804204. Unusual, really, to have the full eight voices from the factory, because the 6-voice seemed more affordable at the time and still beat the Prophet-5. The price in today's money would have been 16500GBP. Packing 30GBP to include a UK or Euro mains lead."

"Newly overhauled PPG Wave 2.3 produced in the period 1984-87. All the 5 boards, incl. the motherboard, have been thoroughly serviced by a PPG specialist in Vienna. Everything now works perfectly. A full service report can be delivered. The synth has also had the latest OS 8.3 chip installed, which means that you can send sound banks as Sysex files via MIDI."

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine Signed by Tom Oberheim SN B44706

Pics of the inside below.

"This DMX was upgraded by Paul White of Electrongate. He used to work at Oberheim back when DMX’s were being made, and he installed the MIDI in and out, which is based on the original design, and he changed the memory from the battery-backup to a longer lasting flash memory. A couple of buttons double trigger, and this can be addressed by just cleaning the contacts using Paul’s method, which could be found on his website. Aside from that, there’s a small mark on a wood corner and the front left edge has a small area where the paint is missing. Other than that, it is in fine shape. I have tried my best to show any imperfections in the photos. If you need more details, let me know. Even the original screen works perfectly.

Tom personally signed the DMX for my brother a few years ago, and it has been so important to them to keep it. There is also no known record of any other DMX having been signed by Tom himself. Like I said, my brother just got all they could out of it, and it would be best for it to go to someone who can keep it in good shape and enjoy it.

Since my brother produced a lot of work for clients with it, all patterns, songs, and sequences will be deleted, except for a couple that they’re leaving on to allow the next owner to understand how it works and to practice. The rest of the memories are blank and available for your own work, of course."

Elka Solist 505 Mono Synthesizer w/ Hard Case SN 2819

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


via this listing

"Elka Solist 505 Mono Synthesizer w/ Hard Case in good cosmetic and functional condition. Amazing preset synthesizer that is quite rare and from what I read online has a Moog style filter inside. To note, while everything functions without issue, the volume, cutoff filter, and wow sliders could use a cleaning as there is some noise while adjusting them. In addition, the case holding the top part of the synth to the bottom section of the synth is not fully secured on the right hand side of the synth and will need to be serviced to reattach it fully. Also of note, the synth is 220V and will need a step down transformer to function in the US. Includes hard case pictured."
