"Oscar Peterson on the Roland PianoPlus! (and TB-303 & TR-606)
This is a scan of an old 1982 Roland brochure I managed to keep all this time - HEY! so this is what Roland thought was good use of a TB-303 & TR-606! never minding that the TB-303 actually managed to change the direction of music forever from 1988 to date with the acid resonance movement!!!!"

Diabolical TR-505 Modular Jam

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Sorry the loops don't match. Here's the Diabolical Devices TR-505 with pitch mods sequenced by the Elektron Machinedrum. We're running it into various modules. The modules are the Analogue Systems rs120, rs30, rs50, rs60, rs170, the Cwejman RES-4, MMF-1 and probably a couple more random modules. The combination of the rs30 Envelope Follower module with the Shaper section of the rs50 is a really powerful combination. The rs50 allows you to take a the envelope generated voltage and turn it into a pulse that the rs60 ADSR module can understand. Run the ADSR out to whatever you want! In this case we're sending it to the MMF-1 cutoff and the rs120's variable CV input."

PPG Modular System 300

via this auction

details in Googlish:
"Modular system. Historically, to document the development of the former German Synthi-scene, this is a very important and unique exhibit. It is probably time for the Berlin School synth in the 70s by Rüdiger Lorenz been built, one of the pioneers in the development and dissemination of synthesizers in Germany.
Mostly, it is equipped with PPG modules, but also some Syntec DiY modules or some modules from the master himself. The modules are distributed on two cases, each with its own 220V power. Both Cases with butterfly closures to a transport unit to be connected. Presumably, this system was for live use. The system is controlled by a Duo phonic PPG 322nd Keyboard Type
Since I am too little familiar with the details here an original info the previous owner:
'The set consists of 300 analog PPG sound modules, installed in a case and another case with SYNTEC PPG-modules and modules and a special trigger generator. Built is an octave filter bank with the bottom-right own LFOs per band filter. The modules are internally Cases in the "additional" wired. Various control lines (lines Trig, VC-lines) are additional switches, disconnectors jacks wired internally.'"

Doepfer POCKET DIAL MIDI CONTROLLER

via this auction
"A bit about the DOEPFER POCKET DIAL: The 4 bank buttons mean you have 64 (4x16) different MIDI controllers at your fingertips.

The rotary encoders work great (they are made by ALPS the best brand in knobs and faders) . Rotary encoders don't turn smooth as regular knobs, instead every small rotation makes a little 'click' that you can feel. The advantage of this is that when you make small adjustments, you can feel each increment/decrement so you know exactly what you are doing, you don't have to guess or see how much value change a certain rotation will result in. Another nice feature is that when you rotate a knob fast, the increments/decrements go in bigger steps, so a fast sweep ensures that the knob is in its maximum or minimum value.

* 16 high quality endless rotary encoders (alpha dials), manufacturer: ALPS
* solid silver-grey coeated metallic housing made of 1 mm steel
* measures about 25 x 9.5 x 4.5 cm
* black knobs, about 18 mm diameter, having a good grip
* distance between the knobs about 30 mm (from center to center)
* 4 banks that can be selected very fast via 4 buttons and blue LEDs (thus 64 "virtual" controllers are available)

* 32 presets (with 4 banks each, i.e. 128 presets altogether), selected via DIP switch at the rear panel
* program change button (as long as this buttons is pressed the encoder below no 8 transmits program change messages for fast preset changes of the unit controlled by POCKET DIAL)
* master channel button (for fast adjustment of the MIDI master channel, same function as Pocket Control)
* 24 detents/pulses per rotation, i.e. the data change is +/-24 per turn (if the encoder is turned slow, see acceleration)

* acceleration function, i.e. the data change increases if the encoders are turned faster

ORIGINAL RETAIL PRICE: 220 EURO = $300 USD (As of 03/19/09)"
