ElectroKraft Ring Modulator + Low Bandpass Filter / TR-606

YouTube via bostich1. via this auction
"Point Loma having fun with:
ElectroKraft Ring Modulator + Low Bandpass Filter, TR-606 , EMS VCS3 , ARP 2600 S/H, ARIES MODULAR SYSTEMS AR-317.
www.myspace.com/bostichpointloma

ElectroKraft Ring Modulator + Low Bandpass Filter:
Metallic, clanging noises. You can produce robot-like vocals, spacey sci-fi sounds, metallic distortion/fuzz. I added a low bandpass filter to allow onboard control of the input frequencies. You can produce a whole host of sounds with one of these depending on what you use as the input sources. It requires 2 input sources and has one output. Use guitar and synth, guitar and bass, bass and keyboard or microphone and synth. A well known effect in the experimental music realm. Used by bands such as Sonic Youth. This is a passive device, requires no power source. The frequencies are determined by the 2 input sources.

I have loved this unit, and hate to see it go, but it needs a new home. This is your chance to own the real thing! on ebay!"

Ohm Force Frohmage: Vive La Free Plugin

YouTube via gearwire
"Ohm Force's free lowpass filter (and more) plugin Frohmage looks like a big brick of cheese with graffiti carved into it. As if that weren't cool enough, this plugin is versatile and easy to use. Join Monsieur Holland for a demo avec funk.
See more on Gearwire.com."

"Swiftly noodling through some of the sounds the Roland Juno-106 is capable of in manual mode. Also switching to Poly2 mode with portamento."

Just thought this was an interesting shot. People doing their thing with synths in the great outdoors. There are some nice shots in the set. Not a synth but the buttons on this microBR look great. We need more transparent buttons.

Roland TB-303

via this auction

This is the one in this video.

Comes with a nice silver Roland purse.

"The main audio output works well with a clean signal, but there is some noise from the headphone output (from blinking LEDs, etc)"

Anyone know if that is normal on 303s?

Fumbly Q960 Control with MIDI gate

YouTube via davidryle
"Found a way to coax the Q960 sequencer into full control with a MIDI gate from Cubase. The only tradeoff is I need 2 Q961 Interfaces for all 8 stages of the sequencer. Also there are a lot of cables!"
