Mos Eisley - modular jam with Akai Force

Published on Apr 5, 2019 Joe Miller - Xin

Great title for this one.

"Just learning the Akai Force, and using it to drive the modular. Some synth melodies and blips from the internal Akai synths. Some phrases sampled into the clips from Plaits. More from Plaits through QPAS is played along with the Force. (lol... what a name)

This is a second take with better audio."

Unique Lego Cased Midibox MB-6582 SID Synthesizer w/ R2-D2s

via this auction

"This is a rare chance to get a MB6582 SID chip Synthesizer.

The MB6582 is an extraordinary DIY synthesizer based on SID chips known from the famous C64. More infos here:

The synth was assembled by me, works perfectly and is in a very good condition! It is a very unique *Lego Edition* - only one of it's kind!

Case and potentiometer knobs are made of Lego (suitable for SIDchip sound)
The display is in 'rusty-orange' and matches the orange flat-top LEDs.
This MB6582 is also expanded with a custom active mixer circuit (+/-12V supply). It has a main L/R out, volume-pot for each engine and a Stereo/Mono switch for each engine.
Single outputs are switched, i. e. if a single output is connected to a jack, the signal is not routed to the mixer (can be changed internally)
Following chips are built in at the moment:

4 SID 6582 (1x stereo engine and 2x mono engine at the moment)
3 cores (4th core included)
The MB6582 can be expanded to 4 stereo engines by adding another 4 SID chips (SID 6581 / 6582 / 8580 - beware 6581 needs different voltage set by jumpers internally). In stereo mode 2 SID chips are used for L/R channels seperately to generate more space! i.e. by controlling filter cutoff seperately for L/R channels.
This MB6582 requires a power supply which supplies +12v/+5V/-12V/GND. I built my own specific power supply around a MeanWell RPT-60/100kHz, it can operate from 90-264VAC.

Since I am not an electrician I have to ship my power supply dissassembled and buyer must reassemble it at his own risk! (it's a very easy process!)"

"CRUEL+UNUSUAL INSTRUMENTS PRESENTS! C3P0 v4093!! A full analog 4 oscillator synth controlled by RAMP voltage controlled oscillators and/or ON\OFF keyed input! each oscillator can also be sent to the input of its neighboring oscillator creating a cascade effect to the input while the neighbor oscillator is outputting its signal to either the master channel or the next oscillator in the chain!

RAMPING! so each oscillator is controlled by either the pitch knob OR the ramp via the selecting switch for that channel. when ramp control is on the pitch will rise and quickly fall at the rate controlled by the large black knob for that channel! All these functions and controls are demonstrated in the demo video.
