Living VCO DIY Module

This one in via John L. Rice. It's a Living VCO made by Peter:

"I'm not a MOTMer & I make my own panels, so I don't have much to add to this debate. I did however finish wiring my Living VCO module today. Its still on the bench being checked over and is not integrated into my system yet but is looking and sounding good so far.

I managed a FRAC format panel design that has all the stock features and fits pretty comfortably (for me) on a 5U frac panel.

Here's a pic of the module taken some time ago before beginning wiring.

Access Virus Indigo Synthesizer Keyboard

via this auction

"Dubbed the 'Virtual Analog Roadster', the Indigo is a retro-styled twist on the amazing Virus synthesizer. It blends classic Roland, Moog and ARP style with the great features and sounds of the Virus B (OS 4.0). It adds a stout 37-note keyboard and a cool new grey/blue look. It's compact, easy to play, fun to tweak, and is a powerful synth!"

Korg MS10 Vintage Analogue Synthesizer

via this auction

"The MS-10 is a cool & classic analog synth known for its great bass and percussive sounds. It was released by Korg in 1978 as an entry-level, simple monophonic single-VCO analog synthesizer. With the authentic look of a mini-modular its single VCO is patchable using standard 1/4 inch patch cords to the VCF and VCA. It really is a powerful little mono-synth with plenty of knobs and a compact 32-note keyboard. It is CV/Gate controllable. A very cool feature is its external input to filter which allows you to filter external sound sources!"

Yamaha CS-60 Polyphonic Synthesiser

via this auction

"There is lots of information on the internet about the exact specification but the CS-60 essentially is an 8-voice polyphonic synth with probably the finest ring modulator available and one programmable preset via little version of the sliders under a small cover on the top left. It has after-touch (routed to vibrato, brilliance etc.) and the wonderful ribbon controller also featured on the larger CS-80. It is a real ‘players’ synth and capable of some extraordinary sounds. This is one of the big-league poly-synths and provides about 50% of the functions of the much larger and heavier CS-80 (at a lot less than half of the price of the CS-80!)."

Crumar Bit One SSM Vintage Analog Synthesizer

via this auction
"crumar Bit one with the SSM2044 vcf's. I compared the two (other version more common has CEM3328 vcf's) with the same patches loaded and on most sounds it's fairly hard to tell much difference. But I think overall these are a little more punchy and the others maybe more excelling on ethereal kinds of sounds. Or maybe it's the way the controls are tweaked :-). Hard to tell since I can't find tune up procedure. You just kind of adjust these to sound the way you like. I found some solder issues and a couple bad resistors in this one and got it working swell again.

I really like the Bit One but I feel like a selfish pig keeping both of them..and I have a lot of machines with SSM2044 filters but none with CEM3328 so I decided to keep the more common version and maybe some collector will appreciate having number 27 I believe it is? See photo... Anyway to me these are the most oberheim sounding of the digital controlled oscillator analogs. The dynamic lfo rate control is kind of a cool feature too. The layering is weird, the MIDI early and crude. BEWARE..when you boot keep your fingers off keys for 6 seconds or so. It goes through a calibration thing and if you touch stuff you will think it's broken :-) Kind of quirky in that way. ALso if you plug in a midi cable it defeats the output til you reboot on mine. Different. But anyway it's an awesome dual oscillator/voice 6 voice analog. Like the Chroma Polaris the keyboard sounds are pretty excellent I think."
