Bananalogue Serge WVX

images via this auction

"Awseome collection of wave folders in one compact Frac format module. Read all about it at the Bananaloge website here. Bananalogue makes some of the most well designed and higest quality modules available."

From the Searge site: "The WVX is based on the classic Wave Multiplier module designed by Serge Tcherepnin. Top and bottom sections of the unit are independent and transform an input wave in various ways. The effect is non-linear and useful on both audio and control voltage range wave forms, the most pronounced effect coming from low harmonic content waveforms like sine and triangle.

The top section has DC and AC coupled inputs that may be used alone or together. The signal from Out 1 of the top section adds odd overtones. Out 2 and 3 are from the Lockhart folder.

The bottom section is a full wave rectifier, transforming waves to positive voltage with even harmonics. Out 2 is a "squared" version of Out 1."

These are labeled fatman, so I'm just guessing it's a PAiA fatman in a custom case. If you know, feel free to comment. Be sure to click on the bottom shot and look closely. That's a transparent face panel.

Update via Criag Dorety in the comments: "Hey, Komega here (Human_Kraig). Yes its a PAiA fatman with a custom case. I just finished building it yesterday.

Here's a little vid:" [below]

"this is a PAiA fatman synth kit built into an old suitcase that my grandmother used to store her oil paints. The face panel is laser etched/cut from transparent red acrylic."

genoQs Nemo

More info is now available on the genoQs website.

"Nemo is a high-end MIDI step sequencer, adding portability to the highly acclaimed functionality and user friendliness of Octopus. It is in many ways an Octopus in disguise, and one that feels equally well in a backpack or on your lap!

It features the same sequencing lighthouse features that Octopus users have enjoyed for years, including polyphonic steps, self-modulating and cross-modulating sequences, freely editable musical scales, user editable runtime directions, full-scale MIDI recording, and much more.

Nemo’s tactile and visual feedback, as in Octopus, is a physical experience so typical for traditional musical instruments. You know already that music is about your body as music is being felt, heard and played with Nemo. And the numbers behind it all.. no display? Well, do you really care? Yes, computers love them. We love light, color, and most of all music!"

Digital VCO

via Eric on the SDIY list.
"This is a voltage controlled DDS, implemented with a Cypress PSoC (Programmable System-on-Chip). It uses standard 1V/Octave control voltages over a 0-10V range and generates 8 different waveforms with a +/-5V swing as output. Output frequencies from 20Hz-20kHz are possible, and falling-edge sensitive hard-sync is also provided....

It was my 'freshman' SDIY project and a good introduction to the ins & outs. I like the idea of the PSoC, but the MCU is a bit underpowered, especially when it's running ISRs to handle all the housekeeping for the various peripherals. The ADCs & DACs are built out of Switched Cap blocks and don't have particularly fast conversion times either. It would be great for low-speed CV stuff thought - LFOs, EGs, etc. and I've got some ideas on the back burner for going further with some of those functions." You can find more info and samples here.

Update: Note that Eric did the firmware for the Modcan VCDO

"..first sounds from my baby. Sorry for bad picture and sound quality. It was captured by digital photo camera. For more pictures: link" Interesting. This one appears to be the same as the one I put up here.

"First sound tests of BD and SD voices of Divius, a Roland TR808 drum machine clone.
Sorry for poor sound quality. It is taken with camera microphone."

Update via pilfermusic in the comments:
"It is important to note that these are Saha's very nice panel designs based upon the hard work and dedication of moogah (name withheld to protect the innocent). You rock Jeff!
