NAMM: Buchla 230e TRIPLE ENVELOPE TRACKER / PREAMPLIFIER

via Buchla and Associates

"We took the old 230 envelope detector, changed its name to better identify its function, improved its performance a bit, added a microphone preamplifier for use with live signals, and of course added capability for storing and retrieving presets.

The 230e’s envelope trackers have adjustable gains and variable response times. Their output levels are 10 volts full scale, with LED’s indicating intermediate values. Pulse outputs are triple state, responding to signal level changes as well as steady states, and may be coupled so as to respond to transient information even in the presence of background activity. Like pulling drum triggers from a mix. LED’s indicate pulse activity.

Wrapping up the 230e are three preamps, each with variable gain and dual input connectors (TRS or XLR). Balanced or unbalanced microphones or instruments can be accommodated; phantom power may be engaged if needed.

The preamplifier is provided with input and output connections to facilitate its use as a mixer; outputs are normaled to the envelope trackers’ inputs, enabling independent use of the devices.

The microphone gains are not stored as part of a preset. All other settings can be stored with the aid of a 206e or a 225e preset manager."

SUPER-RARE KORG RE-1 REMOTE EDITOR FOR M3r synth

via this auction

"very rare remote editor for use with the Korg M3r rack synthesizer. As many know, single rack-unit synths tend to be pretty cumbersome to work with. This RE-1 connects directly to an M3r and has it's own large LCD display and editing buttons and sliders that greatly enhance the user ability to edit the M3r synthesizer."

ROLAND TR-626 1987 12BIT DRUM MACHINE

via this auction

"It is unique in the fact that it has all the drum sounds from the TR-707 and TR-727. That means you can choose to use 16 of a total of 32 sounds at any time. Tr 626 is a big enhancement over the 505. It includes swing and the ability to change the pitch of ever sound!! Also a very extensive midi implementation for sequencing external gear, or triggering its voices from your DAW. The 626 also has a 5v trigger out so you can use it to control the appegiator on your Juno 60."

Malgorithm as VCO with Silent Way

YouTube via expertsleepers
"As noted in the Malgorithm manual, it can self-oscillate and so serve as a VCO. However, it has an inverted and very non-linear voltage-to-pitch response. Using Expert Sleepers Silent Way's calibration however this can all be handled automatically."
