Roger Linn's Drum Machines

"The remarkable story of Roger Linn, inventor of the drum machine. The son of an opera singer and a music professor, Linn's invention revolutionised popular music. He has inspired artists as diverse as Herbie Hancock, Heaven 17, and the Wu Tang Clan. Exploited by shady businessmen, Linn has been a reclusive figure for decades."

Modcan MIDI Sequencer

Details:
"highly coveted Signal Arts brand MIDI Sequencer once offered in Modcan A-Series modular synthesizer format. While the desktop box versions of these fabulous polyphonic sequencers are still being offered by the Signal Arts Company for $1,300.00, the Modular Modcan format unit above is no longer available which is why this unit is so very special!

"Overall, for the money, nothing even comes close to touching this [MAPS]. It's an amazingly powerful device. Given the legendary status that machines like the Latronic Notron have gained over the years (and price tag), I believe that this is a similar device at a much lower price "new", than what people are asking for old Notrons. Plus this has 3 cv/gate outs and can operate as a totally independent midi/cv converter. Sounds too good to be true really." Simon Birds, Australia. MAPS owner/user review on harmony-central.com

The versatility of the Signal Arts Performance Sequencer for sequencing, complex modulation and as a processor based event generator is unparalleled for the modular world.

MOOG System 12 Modular

Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:
"The synth was built on 9/21/73 and also has some of the original R A Moog modules. Also included are eleven of the original 1/4 audio patch cords, 4 trigger patch cords, Moog Modular service manual and a photocopy of the Moog System 15 users manual. All of the modules on the synth are complete (including the original knobs), work perfectly and were never adjusted or re-calibrated (which can be done with the use of the included service manual, if you know what you are doing!). The keyboard is also complete and works properly including the gold contacts which were just cleaned with De-Ox compound. Both original covers for the keyboard and main cabinet are also included. The original socket recepticle on the power cord was cracked, partially disintegrated and was replaced by seperate crimped connectors (its not original but is does work and is electrically safe!) The cabinet tolex is in good shape with no rips or tears but has been refinished to cover the stenciling that the original owner (which was a west coast college) painted numbers on it for inventory and theft control. The pictures show the current tolex condition which looks 100 percent better then it did when I got it! The original modules, power supply and cabinet still have the original yellow Moog manufacturing stickers in place. Now the upgrade part! - three new modules were added to replace the original Moog 907 fixed filter bank module, which in my opinion is a glorified EQ!. These new modules were made by Mike Bucki at Moog Custom Engineering and consist of a 904B High Pass Filter, 911A Dual Trigger Delay and 1528 Sample and Hold. The original Moog and some of the R A Moog modules consist of a 902 VCA, 903 Noise Source, 904A Low Pass Filter, two 911 Envelope Generators. 921 oscillator, 921A Oscillator Driver and two 921B Oscillators."

I never had the original ARP Odyssey, so I don't know how the ASB compares
soundwise."
