I just really like this shot for some reason. NOte the other K5000s in the background.

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

Note this one suffered from the infamous batter leak. If you have a Polysix and have not checked out the battery, do so. You can read more about the fix here.

Marsona

Another Marsona sleeping aid device. Click here for a couple more shots via this auction.

Not the best shots, so check out this post for a better one and some more info. Note the description on this one below states wave oscillators in addition to white noise makers. Anyone know what the "wave oscillator" is in reference to and how it sounds? Seagulls to go along with the ocean?

"Pair of vintage mid 70's Marsona brand Wave Oscillators/White Noise makers. One is a Marsona 1200 and the other is a Marsona 1220 both have been equipped with 1/4" Output jacks so you can plug these into pedals and amplifiers very cool synth sweeps and white noise wave machines."

MIDI Timing Redux

Title link takes you to an interesting article on MIDI timing including some tips, via Stretta.

"Every month or so a debate erupts on the analog heaven (and perhaps elsewhere) regarding personal computers and MIDI timing accuracy. The cycle is always the same: someone experiences some real or imagined timing inaccuracy using DAW software and concludes that all personal computers do not have acceptable MIDI timing.

Instead of propagating memes which may or may not be true, I suggest people test the timing accuracy of their system themselves. Like anything else with audio, it is all about signal flow."

BTW, while you are there, be sure to check out his Dissociative Fugue video. Really great stuff.

fotosis

Optically Controlled Synth / Ring Mod / Noise Maker

"Part One: This is actually three devices in one, its an optically controlled synth (Optical Theremin) a passive ring modulator and a square wave noise generator. Each individual piece can be used by itself or combined with the other sections to create a myriad of weird and wonderful noise. The ring mod. can be used to modify the sound of other devices (Laptop, guitar etc.) and you can use the on board oscillators as the carrier signal.
