LZX Monolith analog modular synth

via this auction

"This is the last Monolith I will have for sale. Only five were produced. This is the only one with 1/8" jacks.

The LZX Monolith is based on a modified version of the Music From Outer Space Soundlab synthesizer. LZX Industries improved upon the original design by adding features, fine-tuning parts values for maximum performance, and offering the result in an elegant package. This Monolith is fully modular, with nothing hardwired or pre-patched. It features two independent oscillators (with hard sync), an audio mixer, a filter that offers low pass and band pass, a VCA, a voltage mixer with an inverter, an envelope generator that is capable of cycling like an LFO, a very flexible low frequency oscillator, and three sets of multiples. The sound (to my ear) sits somewhere between a Korg MS-20 and a Sequential Circuits Pro One.

The Monolith accepts V/Oct CV and standard trig/gate signals (like most modern modulars, or Roland, Arp, etc.). It draws its power through 12v AC adapter, so it can be used in any country. An AC adapter for US voltage is included, along with three 1/8" patch cables."

You can see two videos of the LZX at the auction or in this prior post.

Roland CMU-810 Compusynth Modded Analog Modular Synth

via this auction

"Up for auction is an extremely rare Roland CMU-810 synth module which has been turned into a modular synth by Dean Batute of Kyron Modular in Toronto, Ontario. I've owned two of these over the years and have A/B'd them with an SH-101 and MC-202 triggered from various sources. The CMU-810 sounds much bigger than either the SH-101 or MC-202. It sounds more like the late 70's era Rolands like the SH-2 or SH-09. Some sites on the Internet indicate that it's basically an MC-202 in a metal box but this is simply not the case. The CMU-810 has a sound all its own, and this one is even more powerful since it's been modularized.

Features:
* CV/GATE input jacks
* Headphone jack
* Built in mixer with Mix output (you can patch a TB-303 or TR-606 through it and listen to them both through headphones)
* External VCF input
* CV input to control VCA
* Envelope output
* VCF CV input
* Noise output
* LFO Outputs (square/triangle/sine(delay))
* VCO Output (sub/triangle/pulse/saw)
* Pulse Width Modulation input
* Sync input
* Linear FM input"

tomoberheim SEM Demo 2

"A second demo of my new tomoberheim.com SEM (Patch Panel Version). This one is more about sounds and patches.

All audio is pure SEM without any added effects.

I'm controlling the SEM with my Voyager Old School via the VX-351 CV Expander. I'm also using the Moogerfooger CP-251 control processor to generate some CV signals."

Initial Test Of Moon Modular M569 Sequencer

YouTube via JohnLRice
"Sorry for not uploading any vids lately! Too busy with . . . stuff. I finally got to the point where I needed to build proper power supplies for my upper racks because I got some new modules! :-) All my synths have been undergoing rearrangement/rework lately and I haven't been able to use them. I'm trying to get a lot done before the PNW Synth Gathering on the 31st but I just couldn't resist playing around a bit with my new Moon M569 sequencer! It has so much great potential for doing interesting sequencing it's really exciting! There will be more demos and music videos in the following months for sure!

Thanks for watching, rating and commenting!"
