Elektron TurboMIDI TM-1

Title link takes you to a few more shots of the Elektron TurboMIDI TM-1 sent my way via Justin. There's also some shots of a Roland System 100 104 sequencer in the set. I posted them previosly.

"At this site you will find a running log on the progress of the design/construction of my KS-01 Synthesizer, sound samples, schematics (more to come anyway), module layouts, and links to other DIY'ers, Module and System suppliers, and music created by DIY'ers." Title link takes you there.

The Last Gnat Special

Here's a rarity. The last Gnat Special being auctioned off by Adrian Wagner. Unfortunately it's a non working unit:

"Here we have the last not working Gnat Special from the last of the stock from Wasp Synthesizers Limited: the company I opened 24 years ago after the demise of Electronic Dream Plant. There were only 30 unit of this particular

wooden model ever made!

The unit does not work when plugged in so I am selling this as component spares, to a collector or to some enterprising engineer who feels like having a go to fix it. Hence the low start with no reserve!

Even though it does not work, the overall condition (including the touch sensitive keyboard) is very good indeed. Unfortunately, all 12 knobs are missing but these are easy to find on eBay. This was the smaller, single oscillator model to the Wasp but with a great and fat sound. Unfortunately, the manual and electronic schematics have been lost years ago so the synth is all you get but, despite this, you will be bidding on a slice of the past and the good old days of British Synthesizer enterprise and development!"

Sent my way via Chad. No title link.

202 Hack

"202 Hack is an application that converts sequence information stored in standard MIDI files into a format compatible with Roland MC-202™ sequences. You choose one or two MIDI channels, whose note information is then extracted from the MIDI file and converted into the "internal" and/or "external" sequences of the 202. Accent and Portamento can also be coded for, as well as some post-processing tricks to generate Roland TB-303™-like slides. The output of 202 Hack is an audio file that can then be played by your computer into the 202's "tape in" jack."
