Niio Iotine Core - Analog Filter / Processor

via this auction

"The IOTINE CORE is an analog powerhouse. The IC features 3 separate processing layers that each includes a Filter, VCA, and a selection of Saturation circuits. Both channels feature a smooth 12db VCF, ideal for audio filtering and reminiscent of 12db synth filters but with very low noise and full frequency range.The dual channel SAT selection with variable DRIVE offers rich texture and intensity circuits designed to alter sound density through analog distortion and waveshaping techniques. Dynamic movement of frequency and amplitude of the layers is a base design feature of the IC. The movement is derived from envelopes that are triggered by the input, resulting in organic and flexible modulation that conforms to the sound and creates a living animation that pulls out or pushes down elements of the sound. Further processing can be applied by separating the layers on output from the IC, allowing external mixing and effecting options that expand the unit into an incredibly flexible processing system.

Features:

ENV x2
* H-AR envelope with full HOLD/ATTACK/RELEASE/THRESHOLD controls with triggering from either INPUT or VCF.
* EXT TRIG allows triggering from a separate audio or voltage control source

FILTER x2
* 12db VCF for shaping the sound pre-SAT. Normal and inverse mod from the ENV and direct mod via 1/8” jack allows frequency animation that can be triggered by or follow either input signal.
* Features variable Q saturation in conjunction with the "IN" control
* Full range Filter MOD from envelope in both normal and inverse polarity
* XT MOD from audio or voltage control source

SAT x2
* 6 SAT circuits with variable drive create texture and density, and with the dual channel layout multiple saturation options exist with the ability to filter and ampmod around the selected SAT circuit

VCA x2
* Functions as an Expander/gate or compressor

POST
* AUDIO routing from INPUT1/SAT1/SAT2
* FILTER with LP/BP/HP and open Q
* OCTAVE AND DIVISION circuits
* VCA with Normal and Inverse MOD from ENV 1/2 or direct waveform MOD from SAT 1/2

IN / OUT
* Balanced/Unbalanced 1/4"
* 2-In 3-out + mix out"

ems vcs3 with MIDI

via this auction

"this is a mk ii vsc3 but with silver top knobs that is because its probably an early mkii. it works fine but it could use a cleaning because some pots are scratchy,but this is normal for an old synth. it has a midi kit installed which is nicely done and a modification on the osc for modulation. it came with original cover and the black joystic top is extra. it has an original mkii joystic which is the same as aks joystic and i put this plastic top which makes the joystick easier to use. but you can take it of or leave it it just fits. its not stuck on the joystick. when i bought this vcs3 i was told it was pete namlooks but i dont have any proof . thats for the new owner to find out."
