From Ian Fritz, The DoubleDeka Ultrasonic VCO is coming...

You might remember the DoubleDeka Ultrasonic VCO recently from this post. Well it looks like the bride chamber will be making them available.

"This unique VCO consists of an ultrasonic oscillator core followed by a parallel pair of waveform generators. Each waveform generator consists of a switched multi-octave divider followed by circuitry to generate a 10-step waveform using a set of 10 slider potentiometers. Also included are a novel synchronization circuit with two different operating modes and a built-in "digital ring modulator" (DRM) for producing a wide variety of synchronized and anharmonic sounds. The oscillator core is highly stable (better than 20 ppm/K in the prototype) and features wide-range, accurate tracking (better than 0.05% over fifteen octaves). The variable waveform generator provides fine control over an enormous range of available timbres.

"i probably should do more stuff like this, but i haven't been making as much music as i'd like lately. kind of important to remind oneself why we own gear to begin with. this is also the first piece of music i've ever composed to be intentionally atonal, to mimic the ambiguous volt-per-octave scaling of certain infamous synthesisers. i was using the attenuated exponential inputs on the Q106s and feeding other voltage sources through attenuators. also there are 2 different sequences used, and neither one of them is synced to the other.

the oscillators are Synthesizers.com, and the keyboard controller used for 2 of the 5 tracks was a x0xb0x. everything else was either one of the modules i sold, sell, or will sell or the Ray Wilson envelopes i made panels for. the sequencing on 2 of the tracks are with the Voltage Mini-Store, clocked from a Q106 on one track, and the Trigger Mini-Store clocked from the x0xb0x DIN sync on the other track. the effects are a delay/reverb patch on a PCM80, and all 5 tracks were recorded mono, one at a time, into an Alesis HD24 and mixed with no editing in Digital Performer 5 and converted to mp3 in iTunes."

Alesis Andromeda A6 Red

via this auction
"This auction is for a red one, one of the first 100 produced and built right here in the good ol' US of A! This one is #17 to be precise - Don't let the "A5" on the serial number shown in the photo throw you. Alesis serial code for the red version was A5, the mass produced blue ones were A6. This Andromeda is brand new, still in its unopened shipping carton (photos 6, 7 & 8). No joke. This is the real deal." via Mr. Array
