ElectricSun ‘I Love Acid’ T-shirt

via ElectricSun
"Cast your mind back, if you can, to 1988 and the (second) ‘Summer of Love’. Illegal parties were being hosted in inconspicuous venues up and down the country and the headline-grabbing acid house phenomenon was everywhere. Drug use and police raids fuelled negative press coverage, but the psychedelic sound of acid house had a defining role in the development of electronic music and became a part of music history.

Rather than focusing on the narcotic, this ElectricSun T-shirt is dedicated to the machine that made it all possible over 20 years ago – the Roland TB-303. The unique squelchy sound of the 303 dominated the latter part of the 80’s club and rave culture, and still continues to appear on tracks to this day. As well as acid house, 303 basslines could also be heard on more radio-friendly tunes such as Shannon’s ‘Let the Music Play‘,

Heaven 17’s ‘Let Me Go‘,

and Orange Juice’s ‘Rip It Up‘."

Vintage EML200 Blue Synth

via this auction
"This is a very rare collectible synth. Quite unusual and should reside in a museum or vintage synth collection. Only a few hundred EML200's were made. This unit requires a tube (easily accessed in the rear), and is sold as is. This EML200 synthesizer is vintage. It's a hybrid cross: a synth with cable patches (not included) much like an ARP 2600 or Moog, and a piece of test equipment . The sound possibilities are truly amazing. The tone of this EML200 is very different from that of any other synth made. Vintage 1970s. Even has a built-in spring reverb. More valuable than the silver model. It's a great stand alone unit- or patch your other equipment through it. It looks cool just sitting there! Mic preamp for external sounds.

SN 0500641

"E-Mu Emax II 16-Bit Digital Sound System. This model is 2201...

The operating system is 2.14. Included with the keyboard are an OS 2.14 boot disk, the original power cable, the original manual, two MIDI cables, two 1/4" audio cables, and a padded gig bag. The serial number is 0500641.

The E-Mu Emax II is a 1MB mono 16-bit sampler. Its maximum sample rate is 39kHz but it can play back samples created at 44.1kHz. The filter is 24dB/oct and, while digital, sounds as good as analog. It is also controllable in real-time, which at the time was a major breakthrough. The Emax II also has very robust SCSI implementation that makes it compatible with many external drives (Syquest removable media, MO drives, CD drives, and hard drives with a maximum partition of 540MB). It can send and receive clock signals. When slaved, it accepts 24, 48, or 96 ppq with pulses at least 1ms wide and 1 to 5 volts. When sending clock, it sends 24 ppq at 5 volts and 6ms wide.

The sample time on the Emax II with 1MB is 26.1 seconds (20.000kHz), 23.7 seconds (22.050kHz), 18.9 seconds (27.778kHz), 16.8 seconds (31.250kHz), & 13.4 seconds (39.0625kHz).

There are also some undocumented, hidden features on this keyboard, available by selecting the master module. Select it and then choose option 9. Then choose 9 again even though only 1-8 are offered as selections. When prompted for a password, enter 3629 (EMAX on the touchpad). Here are the undocumented functions. Experiment freely!

Features:
5 Octave velocity sensitive keyboard
14 Velocity curves
Velocity control over Volume, Amplitude Attack, Filter Cutoff, Filter Q, and Filter Attack
3.5" Floppy disk drive (double sided, double density disks)
Internal and external SCSI connection (internal HD power supply)
32 Character Backlit LCD
RS-422 Computer Interface port
MIDI In
MIDI Out/Thru
Programmable Arpeggiator
16 Track Sequencer
1/4" Clock In
1/4" Clock Out
2 Programmable wheels (real-time pitch, cutoff, attack, level, and LFO modulation control)

2 1/4" Footswitch Ins
1 1/4" Foot pedal In
1 1/4" Audio In
1 Stereo 1/4" Headphone Out
1 1/4" Mono Mix Out
2 1/4" (1 stereo pair) Outs
6 1/4" (3 stereo pair) Sub Outs: L and R stereo or Tip-output and Ring-effect return

Future Retro Revolution Mk1 with Decay Mode Toggle Switch

via this auction
" Future Retro analog synthesizer with a powerful liquid acid 303 sound and interface. studio use only. excellent condition. comes with power adaptor & original manual
note: an inclusion of a hidden toggle switch to access the two decay modes (tb303 and revolution mode see pic)

white one with wood ends, great unit for acid sounds like a tb303 but with very powerful sequencer that allows remixing of your patterns and puts out CV & GATE and DINSYNC 24 to allow control older synthesizers and keep your drum machines in sync.
also has stereo outputs to allow wet dry mixing between the voltage control oscillator and dual effects.

note for this unit, it's clean and works great but i have added a hidden toggle switch to allow selection between tb303 decay mode and revolution decay mode. its basically a sustain switch for longer notes that either trail off or hold till the next note is triggered. it's not really a modification just access to an internal selectable jumper. its a quality alps switch."
