The Juno-106 Connection

Click here for The Juno-106 Connection, a website dedicated to the Roland Juno-106. You will find factory patches, the user manual, MIDI details and more. I found this in the comments of this auction I put up on MATRIXSYNTH-B.

Crumar Trilogy

via this auction

"Crumar designed this to look like the Oberheim OB-X. It has two DCO oscilators and 7 assignable presets and one base preset which can't be changed internally. There are three base sound types which are tweakable: Organ, Synth and Strings. Each of these have an individual output, or you can plug into the center and get both. This lets you do some neat stereo effects.

This analog synth can acheive some really fat sounds, and can be tweaked by opening up the top panel to access recessed pots in the circuit board."

Electrocomp EML 400/401

"This is a very rare vintage synth/sequencer from the early 1970's. It is configured in a double cabinet; one side is an EML 400 Synthesizer, and the other side is an EML 401 Sequencer."

The ??????

"The ?????? (we don't know what to call it, ask Lyle Workman from Beck who had this custom designed to his specs) I think this guitar came from somewhere in space. We received the coveted KNOB AWARD for this guitar. It sports a Sustainac Sustainer and a built in Kaoss Pad FX with red to gold color shifting finish. We lost a bit of sanity on this project."

Oberheim Xpander programming

YouTube via 123synthland.
"As vintage synth dealers, we get to play with a lot of fun toys, but you already know this... I love the Oberheim Xpander! Here's me programming a patch or 2 on the next Xpander we plan to sell. I started out with Oberheim's initialized patch. Though the Xpander isn't as tweak friendly as an analog synth with 1 fader for every parameter, it's still an amazing and deep tool that can be programmed pretty quickly once you're familiar with the layout. Enjoy, and email me anytime at minime123@onebox.com"

"This is probably the first video of a midibox MB-6582 project that contains 8 commodore 64 SID synthesis chips. Visit http://www.midibox.org/ for more information on open source, community built synthesizers, sequencers, and other midi projects."

Minimoog Display Case

images via this auction

"Alright you Moog fraks, check this out! This is a display case designed and built specifically for the Minimoog. Show your Minimoog with pride in this display case. It has a plexiglass window, veneer covered wood panels, foam padding on the inside walls, a spot for a cooling fan, and some ventilation slats in the back. SWEET! There is one corner that is a little rough but it could be fixed very easily with some glue or a tack. Local pickup in Los Angeles area only!"

For the true collector in you, or as Nick who sent this to the AH list called it, it's the "Minimoog Bubble Boy." Seinfeld fans should get that one.

Apparently its an old "dot matrix printer noise isolation box."

Simmons SDSV with MFB SEQ-01

"If you own a Simmons SDSV drumbrain and asking yourself what to do with some of the free module slots (if any), here’s the idea how to fill it: Use a MFB SEQ-01 drum sequencer and create a stand-alone Simmons drum machine. This will be a really fun device!"

BTW, this is from the same site, quadratschulz, as the previous post. Be sure to check it out for more synth goodness.

Quadratschulz Korg SQ10 Extention

"This handcrafted device is intended to extend the capabilities of a vintage KORG SQ-10 without the need of opening or modifying this valuable device. The QUADRATSCHULZ SQ10 EXT provides loads of step switches (3 channels à 12 switches) and advanced
synchronization capabilities using the ROLAND Sync-24 format (sometimes also referred as DIN Sync). This device fits perfectly on top of the KORG SQ-10 so that the step switches of the SQ10 EXT are perfectly aligned to the CV potentiometers of the KORG SQ-10.

Using the Sync-24 format allows to sync a KORG SQ-10 to other vintage gear, e.g. the ROLAND TR-808. It’s also easy to synchronize with your MIDI equipment using a standard MIDI/Sync interface (e.g. from DOEPFER, KENTON, etc.)."
