PAiA Fatman Plus

This one in via Brian Comnes. More pics here.
Update via Steve in the comments:

"Hey, that's mine. You should see the original which that was rebuilt from. A nice, rusty metal box, but it all was unlabeled and it didn't actually work."

Another update via Steve:
"Sorry, took me a bit to reply. I just added a switch to sync the VCOs, the subharmonic generator(s), the new case, and a couple of other things. I figured that made it a 'Plus' to the current synth. I wanted to keep the original name since it's still very clearly a FatMan, but I wanted to differentiate it somehow.

Plan B Mystery Meat

Via Peter Grenader of Plan B on AH.

"The following link is a soundbyte of an all-Plan B patch, which along with a
single Model 10, 13 and 15, incorporates three modules you've not seen nor
heard before...but you will real real soon. That's all I'm going to say.

OK OK OK, one more thing: that ain't the Model 12 filter you're hearing.

Zena SoundScape Project

Title link takes you there. Via David:

"I've been a regular matrixsynth blog reader since I first put my hands
on a little blue novation laptop module ... now I recorded a few demo
tracks, and it would be a great honor for to be worth a post on your
blog

The music is Ambient, and not nova only : I also used some an
Andromeda, Wavestation, K2000 and Novation Nova, while all drum
sequences come from laptop based software : recording gear shots are
on the way ...

Mainly a live session, mostly live FXs, slightly cut and reworked ...
of course any comments/advices are welcome :-)"

I like it. ; )

MS-02 Schematic

Title link takes you to the full scan. Here's one in color. Both mirrored here.

Update via the comments: "Hi. Thanks for sharing these schematics. And great job with the transcription. I am implementing the Hz/V-V/Oct circuit, along with a Trigger processor in my Yamaha SY2A mono synth. Works pretty well. Note : I've noticed 2 mistakes in the coloured version of the schematic. If you care to fix it, I think it may help people 'cause they'll probably, as I did, use the coloured version, since it is easier to read.

Trigger Processor :
- IC-9/10, first half : the op amp's input symbols (+ and -) are reversed. "+" should be at pin 3, and "-" at pin 2
- IC-9, sec half : The mistake is also on the original schematic. +supply pin should be 8 instead of 3."

The AM0600

Title link takes you there.

"The AM0600 The Analog Metropolis version of the Roland CSQ-600 has been extensively re-engineered with the following changes:

The case has been ditched, and the main PCB and PSU integrated into the AM Modular Cabinet.

The CSQ-600 is controlled from a new remote front panel, linked to the sequencer via a ribbon cable.

The remote panel is a standard AM style panel, just 135mm wide. Have a look at the mocked up front panel to see how much we have slimmed down the controls.

Some controls have been left on the CSQ-600 PCB, to simplify the front panel and because they aren't likely to get used much (e.g. gate rewrite and portamento).

The remaining key controls have been located on the new front panel, and replaced with high quality components which transform the usabaility.

A new replacement potentiometer for TEMPO

New toggle switches and buttons

New 5mm LED's, blue, red and aqua green

The original inputs and outputs have also been slimmed down to the bare essentials, and located on the new control panel.

The CSQ-600 will sync to an external 1 beat per note signal. So I have added MIDI clock sync.. "
