Strobetronic with the orb filter

"The Strobetronic makes noise, the noise is nasty.
For more info and the Etsy listing: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...

This unit makes a huge range of strange noises. You start by setting the controls on the top of the unit, this sets up a sweep on the LEDS, by moving the LEDs around the light sensors a basic noise loop is set up. Combinations of frequency, volume and the two LEDs make for interesting sounds."

EDP Wasp Analog Synth

via this auction

"The Wasp is a quirky little synthesizer that, despite its toyish look, is quite capable of funky analog sounds. It really is black and yellow too, just like the insect it is named for. Probably its most distinguishing feature is the keyboard and its non-moving touch-sensitive keys. That's right, the flat little keys are only sensitive to your electro-static touch. It's a nifty technology for 1978. There's also a little speaker built-in to the synth and EDP's own pre-MIDI connectors for linking to other Wasps and EDP gear and can be used with Kenton gear to control via MIDI."

Note the vidoe in the auction and below if from 2008 and likely not the unit for sale, but who knows...

Metasonix TM-3

via this auction

"Metasonix TM-3 serial #5 (!) - dual oscillator with sub osc. You probably know what this is if you're looking at it. Tracks Hz/V cv and will also track audio pitch - sounds unlike anything else out there. Unit works fine, this is the gold (pre-yellow) version. There are some holes that have been drilled in the sides as the picture shows from previous owner drilling to mount in rack."

Sold For: US $480.00

Golden Master Harmonic Ratio Arpeggiator

via Golden Master

"I’ve gone on another microtonal trip lately, and have been working with ratios again. The thing about composing music with frequency ratios is that it places you in a brave new world where each interval is made up of TWO numbers instead of one (as in the traditional system, a fourth, third, fifth, etc). There are also all kinds of undiscovered tones and frequencies and relationships. There has to be a way to explore all this!"

Note the Doepfer Schaltwerk sequencer on top of the original design Vermona DRM1 in the top shot. Below note the LL Electronics Oddulator.

Update via Big City Music in the comments: "There's a Flight of Harmony Infernal Noise Machine in the top shot too:).

Update: I originally posted the Vermona in the top shot as a Perfourmer. kernelslacker caught it and let me know it was actually the DRM-1.

The Making Of ELECTROLUMINESCENCE

YouTube via theraywilsonshow

"ELECTROLUMINESCENCE is the first CD I have offered featuring my MFOS modular synthesizer and the ULTIMATE semi-modular synthesizer. Some of these pieces are original minimalistic ambient sound-scapes to think by and others are complete musical works by classical composers. I think of these as aural landscapes or bath salts for your ears. I believe they will help you meditate, relax and unwind. They are also handy for noisy work spaces where they can help you stay focused and avoid the distraction that comes with indirectly hearing other conversations, phone calls, P.A. systems, etc. They are popular at the Parker Recreation center (Parker, CO) and are used in yoga classes and Thai massage therapy sessions. Thought you might enjoy a little inside look at making the CD."
