Googlish translation:

"Rarer vintage sequencer with many possibilities.

Clock can come from any source:

You can save 5 sequences and play simultaneously.
Detroit techno genius Chord memory function (instant sound Jeff Mills)
Realtime / Step Input

Interface:
MIDI I / O
Din Sync 24 I / O
Analog I / O

Sequences are ultra-tight and selbt the simplest lines will not be boring if they run over 8 minutes.

Ideal as an interface in the analog / digital studio
When combined with an analogue midi synth is very easy to set a really groovy techno achieved with modern DAW's how it is hardly possible."

"I never got a drum sound from that pad but only the wildest sibilants. Possibly the eprom is faulty, I did not consider the possibility, so I sell the part to be defective."

Garfield Dr. Click Ultra Tight, legendary Analoge Clock

via this auction
Googlish translation:
"Measurements have shown that 128BPM are not equal 128BPM.
Each device has a more or less deviate from the ideal clock. That is why we like to choose the MPC2000 as a master in a composite of several Midi Clock machines.

Especially when MidiSequencing with a Win / Mac Pc, it is certain soon clear: the MIDI output wobbles and fluctuates around (clock jitter) by the adjusted value of BPM, however, rarely dwells on precisely this.

Garfield Electronics have already built in the 80s some very tight machine, also in BPM values below 80 durchmarschieren absolutely solid.

Output is analog trigger in all sizes and also in DinSync,
which can be easily converted to midi clock.

-2 Independent channels with unequaled rock-analog timing.
-Absolutely reliable master clock source for synth purists
Extreme Swing and Shuffle Grooves realized by commingling of different types of 2 stroke.
-Ideal in analog modular applications."

Roland Tr 330 Analog Beatbox

via this auction

Googlish translation:
"The Rhythm 330 is the fourth drum machine made by Roland in 1973. As besonderheit there is a built-in amplifier and speakers to the side. The sound is about how one knows him of old radios - very soft and nice punchy. Of course there is also a line-out. The balance control can be insipid height between low and back and forth. Simultaneously, the hihat is very left and the bass drum quite muted law. it is possible to select several rhythms to create new patterns."

Elka Wilgamat Vintage Analog Expander

via this auction

"This rare expanders can be connected to Elka Organ or played with a special keyboard. it can produce very unusual electronic sounds."

Update via Matthew in the comments: "wilgaplainboss.mp3)

From the looks and sounds of this the Wilgamat is the auto-accompaniment and drum box from the Elka X-705 (possibly the most fantastic keyboard in existence). Given that Wilgamats regularly clear £100, and Elka Rhapsodies & Elka Soloists make £200 each, the X-705 with two Rhapsodies, one Soloist, one Wilgamat, two drawbar organs, a dedicated preset analogue bass synth and a spring reverb represents something of a colossal bargain as they rarely raise over £300. Unfortunately they're also colossally heavy so look for one in your area. Berliners, get your money out - ;)"
