Video in the listing just posted below.
"Modcan A-Series consisting of original Modcan and Cynthia modules. These are incredibly rare and extremely well-built systems that almost never come on the market. I am putting the whole system up for sale including the cabinet and power supply and don't want to split it up at this stage. The modules all compliment each other and comprise a fully functional synthesizer system. The modules are as follows:
Cynthia Dual ADSR/LFO
Modcan Dual VC-ADSR
Cynthia Sub-Octave Multiplexer
Cynthia Anything Module
Modcan Frequency Shifter
Cynthia Zeroscillator-1
Cynthia Zeroscillator-2
Modcan ARP LPF/Dual Attenuator
Cynthia Burst Generator
Cynthia Quad Low Pass Gates
Modcan VCO/LFO
Blank Panel
Cynthia Power Supply
The system was recently serviced by a vintage synth expert and everything is working as it should. This modular sounds amazing and is extremely flexible - it can go places you won't believe! It covers many types of synthesis from West-Coast Buchla-esque madness to Moog and ARP style fatness or even pristine FM synthesis using the fabulous Zeroscillators. There is the extremely rare Frequency Shifter module (one of the best ever designed), voltage controllable envelopes, plenty of modulation sources (LFOs), 5 filters, and some exotic modules like the Burst Generator and Sub-Mux for good measure! There is a spare space so that if and when you find some more A-Series modules you have room to expand (the power supply can be relocated to the back of the cabinet freeing up 2 more spaces if necessary)"

Cynthia Saw Animator Folded
YouTube via wonkythomas
"Very simple patch showing that the Cynthia Saw Animator is very much in that catagory of modules that makes it more than the sum of its parts.
Modules used; CGS / Metalbox Wave Multipler, CGS / Metalbox Psyco LFO, Blacet VCO & an MFB SEQ-02
Starts off with just the VCO, things start to get messy after I increase the "Fat" amount!
The Psyco LFO is patched to the VC Fat CV input on the Saw Animator, the Pulse output of the Cynthia is patched to input 2 of the CGS Wave Multiplier & LFO output #6 of the Cynthia CVs the Folds.
What I love about the Cynthia module is that it keeps the modulations musical, I could do the exact same thing by multing the sequencer CV into a VCLFO, then tuning it 'just so' but the Saw Animator gives you 6(!) LFOs which all follow the incoming VCO signal, the "Fat" amount & the modulation at the VC "Fat" input.
This is just one, very simple, application. A more traditional use would be the same set-up but with a VCF instead of the Wave Multipler but I don't got filters."

VC Control of Resonance - Cynthia Example
Somone on AH asked for an example of using voltage control on filter resonance. Cynthia of modular synth maker Cyndustries answered.
From Cynthia on AH:
http://www.cyndustries.com/audio/SynthaCon5.mp3
Here's an example using a Cynthia brand Synthacon Filter set at a fixed
cut-off frequency with the initial Resonance knob set just below
self-oscillation. A fluctuating Sample & Hold voltage is fed into the
VC Resonance Input, which creates the "bubbling resonance" sound.
Some of the random voltage levels from the S & H are not enough to
kick it into oscillation, and many of them are...
(If one were to add just a touch of modulation to the cutoff frequency
and a little reverb as well, then you might have a fairly realistic
tribal "talking drum" type sound).
Most often envelope generators are either connected to VCAs to control
volume, of to VCFs to control the cutoff frequencies. Some intricate
or more sophisticated sounds can be realized when connecting an
additional envelope generator just to control the Resonance parameter
while the usual envelopes are doing Amplitude and Frequency. With all
three envelopes set slightly different from one another, more nuances can
happen within your sonic event. (If you don't have VC resonance, well
then try the third envelope on a VC flanger because that can be lots
of fun too!)

Monthly Synth Module Building Workshops at Robot Speak
"Monthly Synth Module building workshops at Robot Speak starting @ 12:00 on Saturday May 19th!
Every third Saturday of the month we will get together and build up a synth module in a group.
How much does it cost and what do you get ?:
$150- Per seat includes pcb and all parts to build a module. There will be a group there to help make sure your module is completed in that Saturday session.
Never soldered before ? Can't read schematics ? ....
Don't worry. Show up early and we will show you how.
What do I need to bring?
Soldering Iron, Wire strippers, Solder sucker, any tools. ( If you don't have them all the first time its ok. contact Dmitri before hand and we will sort something out).
Will it work with my Eurorack system ? How about panels ?
We are working on making these workshops Non Format Dependent. What we mean by that Is we plan to do circuits that will fit behind most panel sizes. While some pcbs already have panels available for them on the market. We are working with some very talented panel designers to help do custom panels for the group.
Projects will also include power regulation when needed for +-12v and +-15v systems.
Ok are you sold yet ? As if that weren't enough. We received the ok from Ken Stone to build his Serge licensed pcbs. Serge lived across the street in the 70s and 80s.
upon hearing about this Cynthia Webster of Cyndustries fame has joined us and will be giving the first workshop on May 19th! Cynthia was here in SF's modular heyday and used to hang out and solder with Serge. She is designing a very special top secret circuit for us to be unveiled at the workshop! We can say that you will be able to use it with your modular system.
So for $150- I get to build a circuit/module designed by Cynthia Webster for my modular even if i never built a module before ?
Yes. You don't have to source the parts your self. This will be a module that is not yet on the market so... You couldn't buy it if you wanted to. Social learning and building. I could go on and on about what kind of a value this is but I won't. Did I mention that she will be traveling up from So Cal to give the workshop in person?
She is doing this, We are doing this to help kick start some communal modular SDIY in SF. We have rich history here but when someone comes from out of town to visit the old mecca of modular there isn't much to see... We aim to change that. We aim to build this monthly thing, purvey the art of SDIY, Celebrate the history.
A link to Dmitri's blog post explaining how this all started.
Link to an interview with Cynthia Webster
Cyndustries website
We are going for it and you can be there to dial it all with us as it happens!
Space is extremely limited
Email info@robotspeak.com or call 415-554-1977 to reserve a seat."

Modcan A-Series (1998) II
Published on Dec 24, 2014 Sanguis Rusticus
"Modcan A-Series synth, built in 1998."
via this auction
"PLEASE NOTE: I bought this in 1998, and the A-series was the only series they had at the time. Also, it is not exactly the same as the current A-series; it is an older version. The main difference that I know of (and mostly inconvenient if you want to add current modules) is that on the original 1998 Modcan, the modules have three-prong pins and plug into a three-prong female power supply plugs. Now, apparently, it is a four-prong system. Thus, on the two Cynthia modules I have--and she advised me to do this--I had to cut the three-prong female power supply cable and rewire it to a four-prong female power supply cable (which she provided). No soldering, just electrical tape (as you can see in the picture). It seems to work fine. Anyhow, if you want to replace some modules (see below under "Known Issues") or add modules for the three remaining spaces, you'll have to take into account this issue. I'm sure Modcan would supply the female plugs/cables like Cynthia did.

Cynthia Sawtooth Animators

"Turn the sound of one lone oscillator into seven!
(Your ear or an oscilloscope simply can't tell the difference between this module and a whole rack of seven VCOs tuned in unison!)
This amazing Bernie Hutchins circuit has been admired by Designers for years as a true electronic engineering marvel, (Of course here at Cyndustries we could not simply leave well enough alone, click here for Mark Barton's "Full Story" on what makes this one superior to previous designs).
It's optimized for a sawtooth input, but any single waveform with a slope going into this thing... comes out as a super fat three-hundred pound gorilla of waveforms!"
Note: Analogue Haven is selling both the EuroRack and Frac Rac versions, and Cynthia is selling the MOTM, Dotcom, and Banana versions direct from their website.

Cyndustries "WAR & PEACE" Winners Announced!

And... Luca Capozzi won!!! Very cool seeing someone that has contributed to this site win. Title link takes you there. BTW, I love that picture. Cynthia comes up with the best images for her site.
Update: A little background on the image via Cynthia in the comments of this post:
"Thanks for the compliment! (I really do enjoy doing the graphics for the Cyndustries web site).
Actually in this case, the image started with a postcard sent to me by my good friend Seth Nemec of Bananalogue.com in Texas. Seth sent me a postcard with the two lipstick clad Chinese Soldiers saluting as an absured gag gift, (he knows my sense of humor!) and I stuck it up on the company fridge for a few months until I had to come up with a new graphic for our War & Peace Winners... and then, "Quick, into a nearby scanner, and it's super Photoshop to the rescue!"
Thanks Seth!!

Three New Cynthia Modules in Five Popular Formats

"Cyndustries.com Presents Three New Cynthia® Brand Synthesizer Modules in Five Popular Formats!
Whether you desire Euro Rack, Dotcom / Moog, MOTM, FracRak, or Modcan A-Series format additions to your electronic music studio... you'll find that our modules are aesthetically, mechanically, and electrically, compatible with a multitude of products and systems from other familiar manufacturers.

We are committed to making the finest and most sophisticated modules possible! This is our ninth year in business and we're just getting started!



Cynthia brand modules are above all unique, useful, and of course, totally fun! Get your hands on these edgy high-precision designs, and in an instant you will know the Cynthia difference!"
The Four Filters module consists of four laboratory quality multi-mode, two-pole filters with voltage controlled cutoff and variable Q. So what's so special about them? Are they a new, cool, edgy-sounding type? No. Are they warm and fuzzy and tan and chocolatey in the mid-range? No. What's so great about them is that there are four of them. A veritable busy-box of precision filters. Now you can get way more sophisticated with your spectral shaping! (After all, doing subtractive synthesis with only one filter, is like trying to do additive synthesis with only one sine wave). Now the training wheels are off!
Each filter can be either Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, or Notch depending on how you pull or push the MODE knobs � like this:
OUT IN Lowpass
IN OUT Highpass
OUT OUT Notch
By patching the filters in series, or mixing them in parallel, you can obtain some very complex spectral shapes, some moving, and some fixed if you like.
Examples:
Use a single filter in Lowpass mode in the traditional way.
Off-load one of your super-expensive, jet-powered filters with one of these.
Use as pseudo lowpass gates.
Put two (or more) lowpass in series to get four-pole or steeper response.
Patch three or four in series (all hi-Q, Lowpass) to create a vocal tract (or any pipe)!
Mix a notch and two Bandpass to create a good string voicing filter.
Put a Lowpass and Highpass in series with tandem control to create Yamaha CS-80 sounds.
Mix four Bandpass together with LFO control to create a spectral animator!
Mix one or more Bandpass / Notch with some dry signal to create a parametric equalizer / fixed filter bank.
Multiple hi-Q filters struck with impulses makes complex percussion!
Put Lowpasses in series with staggered CV control to create a variable slope filter.
Formants, formants, formants.
And it bears repeating: Trying subtractive synthesis with only one filter, is like trying additive synthesis with only one sine wave! Maybe the search for that one really great filter is over. The answer doesn't lie in any single filter � you need more! A complex, moving spectrum is what entertains the ear... Here's the tool to for you to accomplish that!"

Cynthia Photon
YouTube via hexenduction
"This is the Photon Interface module by Cynthia. The positive CV output from the Photon is controlling the filter frequency of the Serge Creature and later the tempo of the Cynthia VC Tabla. The lower half of the module features a highly sensitive photocell with its own dedicated voltage processor which makes for a great performance controller when your hand passes between photocell and lamp. The gate out from the VC Tabla is triggering the Pulse Divider on the Serge Gator. These divisions are doing various tone changes in the Creature. 2 of the Malekko Echo Bright 600 pedals are being used for delay."

Winning this auction you will get your Cynthia/Plan B sequencer you’ve been wanting; and you can configure the functionally well beyond anything offered commercially! This is your chance to get a nearly full parts kit for all 6 bank boards and you can get started right away!
Included in this auction
>>>> 1 Milton Engine Board…this is mostly populated. Has “Cynthia CYN10” and “PCB by Ken Stone “screened on it.
>>>> 6 Milton Bank Boards…one board is mostly populated, the remaining 5 are not populated. (note that in the picture, one pack of 3 boards is opened and each is displayed while the other pack of 3 is still sealed--under the Main Engine PCB).
>>>> 1 Milton 2-sided Original Schematic and electronic documentation. I will provide this hard-copy 11x17 inch 2-sided schematic along with all other electronic documentation I have available on a CDr. Also I have a printed copy of the manual dated June 2003.
>>>> Various Parts to finish the project. Parts include resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, transistors, LEDs, switches, pots, knobs (and faceplate mounting washers and nuts; knobs have a "soft" feel--same as Blacet uses; I have blue and gray knobs included!), professionally made ribbon cables connectors (that are used to connect the boards) and various other required parts. There are a few parts that ARE NOT INCLUDED—the stage gate output jacks (because I hadn’t decided banana or 1/8" mini-jack) and power supply (you have to provide 12-15V DC power).
Sequencer Configuration Choices
I was going for the fully-loaded setup. Of course, you can choose your own configuration and if less than mine you will have some spare parts.
My configuration was going to be:
6x 16 step CV banks
6x 16 step Programmable Pulse Bus
6x 16 step Stage Pulse Outs (output jacks not included)
1x 16 LEDs
Now that is one heck of an amazing analog sequencer! I was going to use the pulse outs to trigger drum sounds but you can use them for whatever you wish." via bug.out

Today is the TEN YEAR Anniversary of Cyndustries!
via Cynthia on the Cyndustries list:
"Today is the TEN YEAR Anniversary of Cyndustries! Started: February 14th 2002
Our very first module shipped to Ricardo, and was a Modcan A-Series format Gated Comparator module which has since found a new owner...
It is a very special module, it may have a serial number stamped on the back of the panel, but what makes it unique is a sticker of a cupcake with a candle in it and the number #1 written on it.
That is a collector's item to whoever now owns it!
(After the first hundred modules we stopped stamping serial numbers on the back.)
Thank you to everyone who has any of our modules...
We couldn't have done it without you!

Congrats Cynthia!

The New Cynthia ZOe

Shown is the second front panel prototype with temporary LEDs and engraved graphics. They're still playing around with the choice of knobs while waiting for a large order of finished circuit boards to arrive.
The actual $1,500 production models will feature the familiar blue silk screened panel graphics and fit seamlessly into your Buchla modular both physically and electronically.

There are no digital connections to the ZOe as it is 100 percent all-analog, liquid-smooth, through-zero goodness - and designed to be a great compliment to any Buchla system.
This is a special limited run in this format.
They are shooting for mid May delivery, and now accepting orders. Please contact Cynthia directly through her website for ordering info!

Update: note the Bob (MOOG) and Don (Buchla) inputs at the bottom right. Thanks to Richard Lianhart for calling this out in the comments.
