via this auction + 4 analogue controllers with on/off switch for each port + Contains 8580 SID chip (not stereo, so can be used as a normal C64) + Cut down case to maximise desk space! + Mean front grill for increased cooling. + Beige paint job. Just like an old-school breadbin! + Audio out by 1 x 1/4" mono jack (happy to include RCA adapter for free if reqd) + Audio in by 1x 1/4" mono jack + Standard A/V out - for use with a normal C64 DIN A/V cable. + Custom underside label Serial # 001 - with machine name of your choice! + days of work put into it! - The unit is standard 3-channel C-64 mono with a 1/4" jack output, so if using it for audio you can add your own post processing via effects pedals or in a DAW + Audio input is disabled (grounded) to reduce noise when nothing plugged into the input.

"The Bridge spans the gap between music production and DJing, creating a natural link between Ableton Live and Scratch Live or ITCH. The Bridge provides a powerful fusion of DJ and production tools, opening a world of opportunities for DJing, remixing and live performance. The Bridge works in both directions:
* Ableton to Serato – The Bridge provides Ableton Transport Control (ATC), giving you control of your own multitrack productions with a turntable, CDJ or ITCH controller. Drag an Ableton Live set onto one of the decks in Scratch Live or ITCH. Scratch Live or ITCH provides deck control, mixing, nudging and DJ style looping; Ableton Live lets you remix multitrack files, mute/solo tracks, use virtual instruments, change drum patterns, manipulate audio, tweak effects and launch loops in real time. * Serato to Ableton – The Bridge gives you the ultimate mixtape creation tool. Perform your mix in Scratch Live or ITCH and save it as an automated Ableton Live Set. Play your mix rather than cut and paste in a DAW. Forget about having to start a mixtape from scratch because of a mistake at minute fifty-nine. Each song is recorded and laid out on a track in Live separately, and any moves you've made with your hardware are recorded along with the track. Edit, add beat synced loops and virtual instruments, stretch, chop and manipulate your mix as required - with Ableton Live's production tools at your fingertips."

bottom PCB layout: "this is how the PCB might look like. double sided, 4.9x3.9 inches in size. it provides standard connectors for most of the controls. however, to minimize the overall size of the board, and to minimize the wires going from board to frontpanel, i decided to not incorporate the GND and +5V to all the control connectors, but to have a wirepad on the board. accordingly the attenuating potentiometers will have to get wired on the panel."
via this auction "Quite a simple monophonic synth very capable of making some fat basslines. . Has a very nice filter resonance and an excellent slow to very fast LFO which goes right into the audio range. * Polyphony - Monophonic * Oscillators - 1 VCO with pulse or sawtooth waveforms and noise-gen * LFO - Yes, with sine, sawtooth, sample and hold * Filter - 1 filter: 12dB/oct High pass or Low pass; 6dB/oct band-pass * Effects - None * Keyboard - 37 keys * Memory - None * Control - CV / Gate * Date Produced - 1979-83"
via this auction "For those that do not know... The Minimoog is not the easiest vintage synthesizer to interface and sequence in a contemporary studio environment. It has a different standard (and jacks too) for CV and Gate than the majority of it's analog peers. This creates an obvious challenge in regard to controlling it with MIDI. That's why the previous owner had his tech perform a small modification that allows it to be hooked up to a standard MIDI to CV converter with no hassle. This "modification" is very unobtrusive and that was important to me, because I believe in keeping the integrity and appearance of such a legendary synth intact. Here's how the CV/Gate mod works... The 1/8" input jacks that are neatly installed and labeled on the back panel (CV, Gate, Bend), allow you to plug any 1V/oct MIDI to CV converter in and start playing or sequencing, right away. You can use any converter on the market too, because the mod makes the Mini accept normal trigger signals at it's 1/8" jack, instead of the obscure S-trig jack that Moog originally implemented. Now, on the bottom left of the Mini's control panel, (section "Controllers") you will see a small toggle switch and a little blue-capped knob to it's left. When you want to control the synth via CV/Gate you flip the switch, thus disengaging the Mini's keyboard and allowing you to sequence or play it from your DAW, MIDI Keyboard Controller, etc.... In this state, the small blue-capped knob controls the amount of portamento, and the Minimoog's keyboard is bypassed. Whenever you want to go back to playing the Minimoog's keys, just flip the toggle switch back! It's that simple.
I want to make it perfectly clear that the modification described above in no way affects or changes the characteristics inherent to the Minimoog. ALL of the Minimoog's panel controls remain fully functional, including the very useful "Keyboard Tracking" switch (VCF function) and are completely unaffected by the "CV/Gate Mode"."
