Ham Heart Analog Synth Noise Box W/ LFO & Filter

via this auction
"This is a handmade hamheart featherduster, 100% analog noisemaker.

It features 5 squarewave oscillators, with 4 acting as an frequency modulating LFOs. As well as a lowpass filter

The 4 LFO's are scaled in their frequency ranges so that the rightmost LFO has a larger upper limit and the leftmost LFO has a larger lower limit. Anything from packs of angry badgers to pods of harpooned whales right on through swarms of drunken wasps and mosquitoes can be achieved. The main audio oscillator has a frequency range switch, which spans from nearly ultrasonic high end down to rhythmic beeps and clicks on the low side.

There is also a modulation depth control allowing for subtle pitch modulations and/or complete clangorous metallics.

The filter is a simple low pass design, and works wonders as a tone shaper.

The blue LED displays the rate of the audio oscillator and changes as you sweep the pitch.

The controls:

The 4 large knobs along the top are the LFO frequency controls.
The large knob in the right hand column is the main audio oscillators frequency control.
The large knob in the left hand column is the modulation depth control.
The small knob in the bottom left is the low pass filter cutoff control.
The small knob in the bottom right is the master volume control.

The leftmost toggle switch turns the filter on/off.
The center toggle switch selects between fine/coarse frequency.
The rightmost toggle switch selects the audio oscillators frequency range.

6.35mm (1/4 inch) audio output
2.1mm 9v DC input (tip -)
Rubber feet

Metal faceplate, painted navy blue.
Hand painted masonic values hamheart logo.

"Here's the super-fun hamheart featherduster synth box. There's a core oscillator with 3-way pitch range switch. There are four LFO's for modulation and a variable mod control knob that goes from subtle to screwy. There's also a great and unique filter which can be bypassed completely if you want. We like these little guys. They sound great and they're oh-so-unique. Each one has different artwork and we love that!"

If I missed any, let me know! I forget the name of the orange red device in the bottom image. I've posted it a number of times. It's on the tip of my tounge, but I can't freakin remember. It's driving me crazy! :)

Update via Josh Humphrey and Dan in the comments: It's the 4ms Bend Matrix Joy Toy. Some previous posts including video here.

I met Roger Cordell owner of Big City Music, Josh Humphrey of Big City Music, Eric Barbour of Metasonix, Shagghie, and Wolfgang Michalowicz of Surfin Kangaroo. All great people. Be sure to see this video on the Surfin Kangaroo and this video on the Metasonix D-1000. Click here for a search on bigcitymusic which will bring up more videos of what was shown at NAMM.

Ham Heart Analog Noise Box W/ LFO FM drone

via this auction
"This is a handmade Ham Heart, 100% analog synthesizer.

It features 2 squarewave oscillators, with one acting as an frequency modulating LFO.

Both, the main oscillator and the LFO, have a 3 position frequency range switches, allowing for a great variety of sounds and textures. From slow rhythmic beeps and buzzes up through swarms of mosquitoes. With both the LFO and main oscillator in their highest ranges some really nice glitchy, distressed landing pod chirps and buzzes can be had.

There is also a modulation depth control allowing for subtle pitch modulations and/or complete clangorous metallics.

The controls:

The two outer toggle switches select the frequency range of the main oscillator and LFO.
The center toggle switch selects between fine/coarse frequency modulation.
The two black outer knobs control the pitch of the main oscillator and LFO.
The silver knob in the upper left is the modulation depth control.
The silver knob in the upper right is the master volume control."
