"This is a video for the AS22 Labs 555NOISE KIT that i picked up from my trip to providence i built it when i got home from the holiday its a fairly easy and fun kit to build, they have step by step instructions on their site but if you look at the board its all layed out really well so you can do it without instructions.

AS220 Labs is a teaching space and community workspace for open hardware and software projects. It is located in Providence, Ri.

If you want to know more about AS220 Head over to their site at http://www.as220.org/about/front.html"

Pointless Noodling on the Moog Opus3

YouTube via mee3d

"More noodling, this time on the opus 3 combi-organ/synth from Moog. Many years ago on the moogmusic forum I was asked to put up some examples of the Opus but never got round to it so here is a little video instead. This particular unit was recently sold on ebay and was my third opus3 over the 25 years that I have been mucking around with synths. Highly underrated for a moog synth... one of my favourite moogs along with the Model D, Multimoog, Source, Polymoog and memorymoog."

Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Double analog synth

via this auction
"very rare (only five produced!) Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue, combining two Little Boy Blue synthesizers, along with white noise/dark noise generators, and a Mysterious Reactor chaos circuit. The synth has four sawtooth oscillators, the noise generators, two envelope followers, the Mysterious Reactor circuit, and two preamp inputs. The synth can run stand-alone or you can use it to process external audio via two 1/4" inputs. Unlike most modern analog synthesizers, the oscillators are transistor-based, no chips, for extra analog goodness.

More info can be found here."

TECHNICS SX K 700

via this auction

"Heavy duty steel chassis, pcm technology, with efects, drums, 128 patches, aftertouch (a must have), and built in sequencer. Not at all bad for 1985"

I'm guessing there's no extensive synth editing on this one. If anyone knows, feel free to comment or let me know. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site. Note Technics actually did create a couple of full blown synthesizers, the WSA1 and the SY-1010. You can find both in the archives via the Technics label below.

Update via MiK in the comments: "Just added the repair photos to my page about this thing - which is still quite imcomplete."
