"This modular system is a modern dedication to Alan R. Pearlman (AKA ARP). It uses the instrument list structure from the arp 2600.

Instead of making another clone arp 2600, I wanted to make an updated synthesiser, like an Arp 2700 type of project.

So there are many extra functions on this system, not found on the original arp2600. The only Arp 2600 circuit that is an exact clone, is the Analog Switch.

All the potentiometers are metal knurled type. Knobs are soft touch Black and White.

There are no internal patches. All connections must be manually made between module sections, this is a fully Modular System.

The only modules I did not include are: Reverb FX and Internal Speakers.


(These take care of the Reverb FX and Speakers situation.)

The FX send and Return module lets you patch a stereo fx rack or pedal. I felt this was better than using an old noisy Spring Tank.

The monitoring 1u module lets you patch a stereo cable to a JBL portable speaker for example for monitoring.

The monitoring amp can also be used for headphone monitoring.

In a room full of synthesizer systems, the Darpa Modular Synth will always turn heads or get asked "What about this one?". It is just a gorgeous looking instrument.

You cand find some demos of the Dwarf Star in previous posts here.

"Crazy cool rare synth. Two oscillators, filter, 2 envelopes, 2 LFO, delay.

But that's not the whole story. The oscillators have 2 separate waveform outputs plus a Sub-oscillator. All 6 outputs have individual level controls in the mixer and a waveform selection switch.

There's also Noise - with a Tune knob to adjust the kind of noise being generated.

The filter -- LP, BP, and HP individually selectable. Yes - you can have more than one selected (or all 3) at a given time.

Frequency Modulation (FM) of the oscillators is possible (linear or exponential). Filter FM is there, the envelopes are loopable, and the delay parameters have cv inputs to modulate them in real time.

Given the ton of patchpoints and built-in modulation paths, this is a tweakers dream synth. You can get stuff out of this that you simply can't get anywhere else (or without spending huge sums of money on rare individual Blue Lantern modules). There really is simply too many features to list and explore here."

"Model: BLM Arcade Kick

Width: 10hp

Current: +30mA,-24mA

What does this do?

This product is used to produce drum and percussion sounds. You can make 909 type of kick drums. The toggle switch on the left chooses between long and short vca decay. The toggle switch on the left chooses long and short pitch envelope decay. Smack knob control lefts you mix in a noise 'paper' sound for the drum.

-There is onboard distortion to get techno type of kick drums.

-This internal oscillator is triangular core, with internal reset.

-The internal trigger conditioner can take audio rate frequencies.

-There is a manual push button.

Why is there two trigger inputs?

You can mix in two trigger sources to create complex percussion patterns. The internal circuit is using logic 'OR' triggering.

This product was refined for optimum sound and response from the controls. Part values were changed from the original 909 design. This is not a clone.

Price: $165.00"

Blue Lantern Evila modular synthesizer - Diode edition with bonus module

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

via this auction

"This is a rare modular synthesizer that was only made for a short time before Blue Lantern went into Eurorack equipment. This is a particularly great place to start for anyone who is new to the modular world. I'm also including a separate module that includes a VCA and two separate filters, one of which models an Oberheim. It can be attached or detached to the synth as seen in the pictures. All power supplies included, and I'll throw in a pack of ~20 patch cables anywhere from 5" to 2' long. I picked it up with the intention of getting into modular stuff about a year ago, but just haven't had the time. It has some scratches and stuff that are cosmetic, but I'd call it like a 8/10 overall.

The oscillators are pretty aggressive sounding, it's a pretty beastly sound so this isn't meant to create silky atmospheric pads. They also tend to waver around, maybe as far as 30 cents or so. It's likely a simple calibration fix, but I'm not the type of person to tinker around with equipment. For that reason, I think it's more fun as a sound designer, but if you're looking to make some really interesting, experimental music then I suppose it'd be good for that too. Anyway, that's why I'm selling it for so cheap.

Here is a video of a similar model, posted by the manufacturer. [posted here]

Curious which eurorack module has the most knobs. There are 30 on this one. 26 + 4 smaller knobs. Get two of them and you'll have two more than a Waldorf Q!

"This is a slick mixer with controls for 6 audio signals, mute switches for each, two stereo aux channels, a stereo in for linking other mixers, and big knobs for al controls per channel."

Blue Lantern ASTEROID SNARE DRUM

via Blue Lantern

"What does this do?
This is a sound generator module with 3 oscillators + noise generator. This module is a complete mini synthesizer that can easily produce snare drum sounds. A 'trigger' signal is patched in order to hit the snare drum. The bottom row contains an internal mixer where you mix in 2 shell generator oscillators, one thud oscillator, and a noise generator.

The Noise generator can be used for your other modules. You can also patch into the discrete transistor vca, breaking the switch jack to replace the noise generator with an external audio signal (synth level).

The Filter on the 'Impact' signal path was carefully designed just for snare drum tone control. It sounds very nice. It will not self oscillate, but the Q control can go very high in frequency.

There is an accent control circuit in order to vary the loudness of the snare drum.

History of the design:

The Asteroid Snare drum started out on bread board as a TR 606 snare drum. That design only contains one oscillator, a transistor based noise generator, and a 'clipper' brute vca. It is a nice efficient old design, but it is too simple and boring. I decided to add (2) of the original oscillators, and replaced the noise generator with a digital based noise generator to make sure all production units were alike. The snare drum still was missing fullness, so I designed an addition oscillator called 'thud'. The poor vca from the original design was removing all the additional harmonics, so that was replaced by a discrete vca, and I added tonal controls to the IMPACT signal, and the THUD signal path.
All of this amounts to about 200+ smt parts. Far exceeding the original design. I don’t think there is another analog snare drum out there with the Asteroid Oomph.

Price $169.00"
