Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer Circuit Board on Sale

"The Mega Percussive Synthesizer (MPS) is an extremely versatile percussion voice module designed by Thomas Henry. The MPS consists of three seperate tunable oscillators, a ring modulator, a noise generator, a voltage controlled resonant filter with two selectable responses (low pass or band pass), three VCAs, and a mixer section for mixing these elements together to fine tune a very realistic percussive sound. The MPS utilizes a dedicated VCO for generating the impact portion of a percussive voice. This method imparts a surprising level of realism to any voice programmed by the MPS. In addition to its main function as a percussive voice generator, the MPS can be used as an exotic noise/sound generator by switching its VCAs open and using its internal oscillators and noise generators to generate any number of exotic sounds and effects. More information about the Thomas Henry MPS can be found here."

They are currently listed for $15 on electro-music.com.

CUCKOO + Tenori-on

"A lot of friends ask me about the Tenori-on. Is it worth it? Is it good? So I thought I'd show you how I jam with it. This is the way I very often come up with ideas for new songs.

Browsing for Tenori-on videos on youtube you'll soon realize it's very versetile. Even though the sound set is so limited people use it in all kinds of ways. I use it mostly for CUCKOO music ;)

Enjoy!
