Mr.AcidMachine percussion synthesizer beatie bop

via this auction

These used to be available back in 2011. You can see some featured in the archives here. See the Mr.AcidMachine label some of their other products. The last post from them, prior to this one, was back in 2013.

From the listing: "This thing is rare! This is the only one for sale that I know of.Oscillating drum synth that can be triggered by the built-in pad, CV input, or audio input. It has an onboard looper and optical theremin. It is way too much fun.

It can be played by hand or set into 'loop' mode for drones, but also has CV and gate inputs for external control via analogue sequencers etc.

Runs on standard 9v power (same as most guitar pedals). I don't have an adapter for it as I always use my power brick. Or you could use a standard 9v battery"

Beatie Bop Analogue Percussion Synth

via this auction

"This is a boutique hand-made synth from the USA. (Website: http://mracidmachine.com/)

It can be played by hand or set into 'loop' mode for drones, but also has CV and gate inputs for external control via analogue sequencers etc.

Runs on standard 9v power (same as most guitar pedals). I don't have an adapter for it as I always use my power brick. Or you could use a standard 9v battery.

Housed in a strong metal case. I have gigged this thing on several occasions and it is very tough and perfect for live experimental sounds. In my experience its great for weird metallic sounds and heavily modulated drones, but not great for low bass sounds."

Mr.AcidMachine Midi to Trigger


via Mr.AcidMachine

"MIDI IN--->17 output pulse jacks with programmable main accent level.

The way it works is simple. Plug MIDI OUT from a computer, sequencer, drum machine, or even a keyboard into the MIDI IN on the MIDI-TO-TRIGGER. Incoming MIDI notes send quick pulses to the output jacks from notes C1 to E2. When MIDI is received on F2 it changes the Accent level of all the output jacks simultaneously. There is a knob to control it's level from normal to full-accent. Connect the output jacks to trigger analog drum circuits, envelope generators, arpeggiators, sample and holds or sequencer clocks. Or use the pulses as audio sources and filter them to get some nice click percussion.

The MIDI OUT actually only serves as a MIDI THRU for connecting other MIDI devices to the MIDI IN.

On power up (9 Volts DC negative center), the MIDI CHANNEL is Channel 1. If the channel button is pressed it changes the MIDI channel to 2, then 3, 4, 5...16, then back to 1 for each press.

These are currently handmade and take 2 to 6 weeks to ship after they are ordered.
Send any questions to mracidmachine@gmail.com"

The Percussion Beatie Bob also got a slight make over with a blue and white silkscreen label.

MMTA SUMMER SYNTHFEST 2012 Pics by MATRIXSYNTH

MMTA SUMMER SYNTHFEST 2012

And my set of pics. :) This wraps up MATRIXSYNTH's direct coverage of the event. If you have pics, video or audio, please feel free to send it in. See the MMTA SYNTHFEST 2012 label for all posts on the event including a couple of video walk-throughs. There's a lot to see in this set but don't miss the slick plexi-glass modular cases by James Husted of Synthwerks, the Din Sync Dr. Protomonger, the new Mattson SQ16 Sequencer which will be available in Euro by Division 6, and of course the massive MATRIXSYNTH Banner! Now that's synth bling. You can find the full list of exhibitors in this post.

PS, on some browsers, Flickr embedding will sometimes cause your mouse to wig out and disappear. If this happens, move your invisible mouse to the edge of the screen and hit the esc key. It should come back. You can then click on the top of the browser and refresh the page to get things back to normal. It's annoying but the slideshow is worth it imo. You might want to view this one full screen. If you want to skip it and go straight to Flickr though, here's a link.

MMTA SUMMER SYNTHFEST 2012 - Mr. AcidMachine


YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Jun 4, 2012

Prototype Dr.DrumSet drum machine by Mr.AcidMachine. It's based on the Roland TR-808 and TR-606. It sounds really nice. One cool featured that he showed me later and unfortunately I did not capture on video was the ability to tunes the metal oscillators for the cymbal, hihats, and cowbell at the same time with just one knob. You can get some really cool effects going while the rhythm is playing. Note the distorted synth sounds at :37 are coming from Vidgod which I pan to for a sec.

Update: above I initially stated that you could tune all sounds with one knob. That was my mistake. The knob tunes the metal oscillators for the cymbal, hihats, and cowbell at the same time. It makes for a really cool effect.
