This one obviously falls under guitar synth effects. I thought it was interesting enough to post at least once. Note this is not a vintage item.
Full auction description follows:
"The Great Divide combines classic analog octave division with proprietary Synth technology to create one of the best-sounding, most versatile octave units ever made! It features five independent voices that can be continuously blended for a limitless array of sounds, from classic stompbox octave division to multi-layered, supersonic Synth mayhem!
The Great Divide is 100% analog – the circuit tracks incoming audio and subdivides the waveforms to create lower notes at varying intervals. The lower voices are monophonic, but can sometimes be coaxed into tracking double-stops (say please!). The GD’s Upper Octave voice is a form of harmonic distortion that can track polyphonically with eerie precision and often unpredictable results (ring mod, anyone?).
By blending voices at various levels, an absolutely limitless variety of super-sick, super-FAT, super-sexy Synth and octave sounds can be created and deployed to beat your audiences’ booty into submission.
Make your guitar sound like a Bass; an Arp; a Harp; a Hammond – whatever. Make your Bass sound like a Moog; a Guitar; a Moog Guitar or an asteroid hitting the Earth’s atmosphere – you get the idea…
For even more tonal options, patch in an external pedal via the TRS effects loop and control it with the Great Divide! OR, use an expression pedal to control the GD’s output level for gorgeous Synth pad volume swells and other assorted mayhem.
WORDS SIMPLY CANNOT DESCRIBE THIS PEDAL – Watch the videos and see for yourself, but please note that these samples are just the tip of a Titanic-tanking iceberg of tone. Now –GO GET SOME!!!

"I love to make noise, and I am also keen to learn about the many ways in which noise makes me.
The observations in this video are not really anything new. If they strike any chord with you, here is some recommended further reading:
Pauline Oliveros, “Some Sound Observations” - perhaps the piece that kick-started my interest in the removal of boundaries between music and sound, sound and silence, listening and playing.
John Cage, Silence - among much other material this includes the famous story of a visit to an anechoic chamber where Cage was unable to hear “silence” because he could always hear the sounds of his own body.
Joe Allen, “Academic Archive Vol XII: The Soul of Hank Shocklee” - Shocklee discusses the unfound sounds and rhythms that emerge, consciously and otherwise, when multiple recordings are sampled and mixed together.
Eliane Radigue with Julia Eckhardt, Intermediary Spaces - Radigue discusses how underlying tones are a necessary bed for the harmonic explorations in her music to be heard, or even to exist.
Daphne Oram, An Individual Note - Oram spends the better part of her book using electronic music concepts as a sometimes clunky but always interesting extended metaphor for the human body.
George Lewis, "Improvising Tomorrow's Bodies: The Politics of Transduction" - Lewis argues for improvisation as key to "the foreshortening of distance between art and life."
"«EC Generative» is a collection of 25 patches (+25 patterns for Crave) for semi-modular synthesizers Behringer EDGE + CRAVE. ⚙️ This genre of sound design is very popular in modular culture, and EDGE + CRAVE provide an excellent set of features to get you started. Controlled chaos, randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo variations, pattern uniqueness, alternating short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, freaky splashes during sequences—all of these elements are included in the soundset.
Generative timbres can add to or lead in ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots, or create loops to obtain unique material for further processing.
🔮 The main focus of the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined and cannot exist separately: 🔸 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes. 🔸 A sequence from one synth alters parameters on the other. 🔸 Gates and triggers interact to disrupt predictable patterns. 🔸 Audio signals from OSCs may serve as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or wild, experimental inharmonic tones. 🔸 They may also be used as audio sources sent to the other synth for processing with its different filter and envelope, giving them a 'second life.'
"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32. 'DM Generative' is a collection of 25 patches. This genre of sound design is very popular inside modular culture, and Moog Sound Studio suggests a good set of features to enter this club. Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo break, pattern uniqueness, short and long sounds alternation, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and fx-like tones, freaky splashes during a sequence - all these things are included in the soundset.
That was a hard work. Each patch took me up to 2 hours. I tried to find interesting combinations of settings and patching. Hope you will enjoy the results.
Generative timbre may be a good addition to (or a lead part of) ambient or techno tracks, jams and performances. You may also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice it to one-shots or make loops - you’ll get a unique material for further processing.
The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are soldered and can’t exist separately: 🔸 they modulate each other with LFO and Envelopes 🔸 a sequence from one synth change parameters on the other one 🔸 gates and triggers interact to break predictable patterns 🔸 audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or - crazy experimental inharmonic tones 🔸 or they may be used just as audio sources sent to the other synth for processing with its different filter and envelope, giving them a 'second life’.
The soundset is presented in PDF format. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synths and discover their true depth.
To recreate these patches, you need up to 15 patch cords.
There are audio examples of all patches inside the folder with the soundset. Audio examples for a patch are presented in three variants: DFAM only, M32 only, and both together.
The patches don't include Mother-32 patterns.
For the video demo, I added delay and reverb to the synths and background pads to put the timbres into a musical context.

"This expander can extend the functionality of the 208 module by adding a number of inputs and outputs.
Many CV inputs have already been added to the 208C, but using them as secondary inputs makes the behaviour more complex.
This expander was fully tested on Buchla Clone 208p.
And will works on many Buchla 208 and clone machines, but not on 208r Rev.1.
( Depending on your module you may need to change the resistance value. )

"Obscured Waves is a collection of 64 presets for Waldorf Blofeld that explores the darker, vintage-inspired side of sound design. The bank is built around the idea of imperfection—gritty, lo-fi textures combined with constantly shifting timbres created through rich modulation. These sounds are alive, expressive, and full of character, bringing a distinctive atmosphere to any track, performance, or video production.
🎛 The patches include dozens of modulations, adding motion and variation. Velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments are mapped for expressive control, making each sound performance-friendly. ModWheel adds modulations — brightening the sound, introducing vibrato, shifting tone, or adding extra movement for dynamic performance.
🔮 What sets Obscured Waves apart is its fusion of experimental tones and playable musical textures. Whether you’re crafting ambient, techno, cinematic, IDM, industrial, drum and bass, retrowave, or any style that leans into a dark atmospheric or moodier aesthetic, this soundset will give your music depth and identity.
🧿 Each preset was meticulously designed to deliver a tactile, emotional experience. Techniques such as noise layering, distortion, FM, and vintage tape emulation were used to evoke an analog character from this digital instrument. The result is a visceral set of sounds that feel aged, nostalgic, and imperfect—in all the right ways.
💡 Technical Information. How to import/upload presets. The presets are compatible with hardware Blofeld versions: desktop and keyboard; and with the official Blofeld VST Plugin. Make sure you are using the latest hardware firmware and vst-plugin versions.
No Samples and third-party wavetables are required. The soundset is made with the factory content only. The soundset comes in multiple formats: Bank in .syx format (Bank G) Bank in .mid format (Bank G) Bank in .blo format for Auraplugins Blofeld Editor/Librarian users Bank in .bpz format for the official Blofeld VST plugin users Separate presets in .syx format Separate presets in .mid format

"The CGS775 Serge VCS (Voltage Controlled Slope) is an extremely versatile module capable of many useful functions.
The VCS is a unity gain voltage follower. The rising and falling slopes are independently and jointly voltage controllable over a wide range. The module provides an incedible amount of possible functions.
Slew time can be set separately for rise or fall and be modulated by a control voltage. Separate inputs for rise and fall modulation and also a common input. The modulation controls are bipolar and can be toggled between linear or non-linear behavior. A trigger on trigger input fires an envelope while a gate holds sustain. After a cycle of the envelope a gate signal is generated at the end-out. The cycle switch connects the end-out with the trigger in so the VCS can loop itself and act as an oscillator which frequency can be controlled via the Exp-CV jack. Manual control of waveform with the rise / fall controls. If an audio signal is fed into the module, the pots act as waveshape or cutoff controls.
Some possible functions:
VC Transient Envelope Generator: A pulse at the trigger input will start the envelope, or a gate input will sustain the level and the envelope will fall when the gate goes low. Rise and fall are independently and jointly voltage controllable, with variable linear and exponential wave shapes.
VC Portamento: Voltage is slewed according to the rise and fall times.
VC LFO: When the cycle switch is thrown, the trigger input is connected internally to the end trigger output, creating a VC clock with variable waveform and independent rise and fall times.
VC Oscillator: While not as wide ranged, or accurate as a dedicated oscillator module, the VCS is still an excellent audio source. The Exp CV input is scaled approximately to the 1v/oct standard. The Output wave can be swept from triangle to saw with linear and non-linear waveforms. End Out also produces a pulse waveform.
VC Non-Linear Audio Processor (Low-Pass Gate): If an audio rate signal is slewed, the module responds like a VCF, and a rough VCA. The signal is low-pass filtered down to silence, similar to a low-pass gate.
Envelope Follower: Positive and negative peak detection envelope follower.
VC Pulse Delay: Trigger input starts the envelope and a trigger will be produced again at the End Out when the envelope completes its cycle.
Sub-Harmonic Generator: If a series of triggers are applied to the VCS faster than the total rise and fall times, the module will divide the incoming signal by a whole number. In the audio range the output will be the sub-harmonic series.

"Synapse Audio Legend HZ 'Neo-Noir Echoes' is a collection of 50 patches: 7 Arps, 6 Basses, 6 Keys, 7 Leads, 6 Pads, 6 Strings, 6 Synths, 6 Textures. The soundset is inspired by sci-fi movies, soundtracks, dystopian stories, urban landscapes, noise ambient albums, experimental modern art and sound design.
The bank spans a broad spectrum of timbres: dark, noisy, lo-fi, retro, romantic, melancholic, nostalgic, soundscapes, atmospheric, detuned, cold, distant, dull, big, massive, epic, bright, orchestral, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, fx-like, evolving, moving, sweeping.
Since Legend HZ is a replica of an old analog synthesizer, I aimed to highlight the vintage, imperfect, slightly distorted character of the sound. I used oscillators drift, saturation, and distortion in different blocks of the plugin, used noise as a sound source and as a modulation source, and used FM modulation, which can significantly distort the tone. And of course, the famous Filter Bank - it can noticeably add color to the sound.
The soundset is suitable for many genres: ambient, electronica, cinematic, retrowave, synthwave, darkwave, IDM, trip-hop, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, trance, deep, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.
Ensure that you are using the latest software version. To add presets to the collection, open the plugin browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."

"Modular Clouds" is a collection of 50 dreamy generative performances for Korg Wavestate. This is my one of the hardest works, I made a huge effort to create this soundset. Wavestate is a very complicated synth, and I dived deep into its features and possibilities. 🔋 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/36FBL3S Highlights: ☑️ Each performance is made from scratch: lanes, modulations, settings... ☑️ True wave sequence 2.0 synthesis, extensive and deep use of unique Wavestate features, that make the presets stand out from other synthesizers (subtractive, wavetable, FM...) ☑️ Thoroughly set parameters and complex modulation. ☑️ All 8 Performance Knobs/Macros are assigned to different parameters. They give changes from subtle to dramatic. ☑️ Vector Envelope adds movement. It has its own motion, and you may tweak it to change the timbre. ☑️ ModWheel add expression. ☑️ Making each performance took me about 60-90 minutes. ☑️ No external/additional samples are required. ☑️ Performances' volumes are equalized for a comfortable browsing.
"Bananalogue Serge VCS Synth Module For FracRack or Blacet Style Mounting Rack. Getting hard to find these in FracRack format. Same rack format as Blacet, Paia and several others, but comes with a Blacet style power connector. Could be changed over if needed.
The Serge VCS module released in from bananalogue.com is an extremely versatile control voltage generator and audio source. In the early 1970s, Serge Tcherepnin developed the Positive Slew and Negative Slew modules for the original Serge synthesizer. In time these merged into the classic Dual Universal Slope Generator. The Bananalogue VCS is an adaptation of Serge's original circuit with a few new features.
