Buchla Model 259e Complex Waveform Gen.

via this auction
"The Buchla Model 259e Complex Waveform Generator is the original incarnation of the 259e. The 259e is just that: complex. With 16 continuously modifiable AND blendable waveshapes, wavefolding, hard and soft sync, pitch tracking, linear FM, built-in LFO, cross-fade and full voltage control of all parameter, it is one of the most, if not most complex hardware oscillators ever built. The module is in excellent condition and is both physicially and electronically sound. The firmware memory card is included with this auction.. Other features include:

* voltage-controlled modulation of pitch, amplitude, and timbre, both hard and soft synchronization, and pitch tracking.
* in conjunction with the model 225e MIDI Manager, the 259e's pitches respond to internally routed MIDI messages. Up to four 259's can peacefully co-exist in a single system, each with its private MIDI channel.
* the settings of the 259e's pots and switches can be memorized as a part of a preset configuration. Provided you have a 225e or a 206e in your system."

Verbos Model 258v Dual Oscillator


via this auction

"The Mark Verbos Model 258v Dual Oscillator is designed to duplicate the sound and response of the highly regarded Buchla 258 and does so. The 258v is fully compatible with Buchla 200 and 200e systems. It connects to the same power supply, outputs the same signal levels, and responds to the same voltage control. You have never heard gurgling, burping, watery, klanging FM like that produced with the 258v. This module features two seperate VCO's, continuously tunable from 5 Hz to 20 kHz. Each VCO has two processing inputs and a frequency modulation input.l Waveshapes as well as frequency can be voltage controlled. Model 258v oscillators feature low sine wave harmonic content. There is no memory card with this module, it is fully analog and cannot store presets. Other features include:

* Processing inputs: Two processing control inputs permit multiple control of pitch without need of separate external processor.
* Processing controls: Used to set desired range of frequency control. Expansion, compression, and inversion of scales are accomplished here.
* Frequency modulation control: For adjusting vibrato depth or creating clangorous or bell-like tones, rich in non-harmonic partials.
* Output: Signal amplitude is +4 dB. Output impedance is 600 ohms.
* Oscillator frequency control: Spans the audio spectrum of 5 Hz to 20 kHz with no range switching. ( Applied control voltages can extend limits to .1 Hz and 30 kHz.) (this means that the modules also function as VCLFO's).
* Waveshape control input: Waveshapes can be varied from sine to saw (osc 1) and sine to square (osc 2). Voltage control of waveshape enables powerful dynamic control of timbre."

Evol Audio Fucifier

http://evolaudio.com/
"The Evol Fucifier is a distortion synthesizer & sound shaper, designed to give you many colors with which to create and shape your palette of sounds. Everything in the signal chain, from the Mic Pre, the Vintage Germanium Preamp, the Filter, and the inductors in the Equalizer to the output transformer, is designed to be overdriven, saturated, overloaded or distorted in a pleasing way. Mix & match the Vintage Germanium Preamp for a little warmth or overdrive, the Tape Saturation overdrive for a little compression and limiting or a bit of saturation, the Filter/Crossover (which in itself sounds great overdriven or even pushed into self oscillation with a sufficient amount of resonance), the Dual Band Distortion which allows you to mix many different kinds of distortion, and the vintage-style inductor based equalizer to shape the overall tone and color of the sound."

MFOS Multi-Function Module Now Available

Full details here

"Features

* LED Voltage Level Meter Totally cool looking.
* Two 3 input DC voltage mixers with offset adjust and normal and inverted outputs.
* Linear Lag Processor (long and short time select).
* RC Lag Processor (long and short time select).

Introduction
If you find yourself saying man I wish I had two DC voltage mixers, a linear lag processor, an RC lag processor and a LED voltage level meter then this is the module for you. But seriously, this is a very nice assortment of tools for any synth. The voltage meter looks cool and lets you have a graphical idea of where that voltage level you like to use to modulate your filter or vca is so that later repeating it will be easier.

Although simple in nature the voltmeter is useful and has several input ranges (+/-1V, +/-5V and +/-10V). Whereas an analog or even a digital meter takes time to find the level this circuit lights the LED immediately giving you a rough idea of the voltage level you're looking at even when it is changing rapidly. The DC mixers let you mix LFO outputs or change the scale of your keyboard's voltage output to less than 1V per octave to achieve non-tempered scales. The lag processors both give plenty of range to go from almost immediate voltage following to delays lasting many seconds before the output voltage arrives at the level fed into the input.

While not as exciting as a VCO or a VCF this module is a staple and you will find yourself using it all the time."
