Catjar in the Rye

"'Catjar in the Rye' (or 'Betty', as she is know to her friends) is an experimental sound instrument built for Swedish composer Andreas Catjar. It combines a chaotic Benjolin synthesizer, extreme fuzz distortion unit, a speaker/ contact-mic feedback system and 'circuit-bending' -style body contacts into one rugged flightcase. The Benjolin features several modifications, including patchable routing banana jacks, LED lights for the three stages of its analog shift register and an external audio input. I hope to post some sounds and video later on, when Andreas has time to make them.

My thanks go out to Rob Hordijk, who designed the Benjolin circuit, and to Pete Edwards/Casper Electronics for his help in working out the modifications..."

wire to the ear Visits Three Wave Music

Oliver Chesler, aka The Horrorist wrote in to let us know he paid a visit to the infamous Three Wave Music in New Jersey. You might remember their insane synth collection from previous posts including this one. It's crazy to think that behind those doors in this unassuming building is one of the largest collection of synths in the US, if not the largest. Click the second pic below for the impressive panorama. Enjoy the synth spotting. You'll find close-up pics and a write-up at Oliver Chesler's wire to the ear.

Audioweevil Ring Modulator by Bugbrand

via this auction

"Audio Weevil Digi-ringmodulation with audio input (first time on a digi-weevil). The box can function either as a sound synthesiser (without audio input) for traditional (ha!) Weevil sounds, or you can, in a pretty chaotic way, pass audio into it for serious sound mangles - the audio input is turned into a squarewave that is then quasi-ring-modulated by the two internal squarewave oscillators.

The top of the box takes some serious nods at the Cracklebox - 8 large body-contact touch pads that really bend and warp the sound for great hands-on playability.It has a 1/4 inch jack input and output on the rear of the unit.Here is a link the website so you can see for yourself!http://www.bugbrand.co.uk/bugbrand_old/pages/sounddevices.htm On the back it says 1 of 10 so I can presume that this is one unit of a batch of 10 making it pretty unique!"

ZW Bassmachine

via this auction

"This is a fine example of the incredibly rare Swiss/Italian design ZW Bassmachine, a true analog monophonic synth with two oscillators and ten preset sounds.

The instrument has a two-octave full sized keyboard, wood cabinet and end cheeks, octave switch, tune, envelope controls and second oscillator switch with Detune.

The sounds vary from similar to a Roland TB303 Bassline to more like an EDP Wasp or a Moog Rogue. The filter design is a Moog-style transistor ladder, clearly identifiable on the circuit board - probably not licensed :-)"

EMS VCS3 MKII

via this auction

"This particular VCS3 MKII was once in a synthesizer museum in Great Britain. I acquired it in 2000, and it has lived in my smoke-free studio and been treated very well. Works wonderfully as both as as synth and as an effects processor. Along with the Synthi AKS, it is probably one of the most versatile instruments I have used in the past 25 years.

This instrument includes an external gate input modification for MIDI/CV applications, but no other mods have been added because I did not feel the need for them. EMS has an variety of mods they can perform for you so I would recommend contacted Robin Wood for a list.

The VCS3 will ship worldwide in a custom-made flight case by A&S Case Co. out of Los Angeles, CA. It is extremely rugged and was used during international tours with the instrument."
