1967 Vox Percussion King - Kraftwerk

via this auction
"Up for auction one very rare and fully functioning Vox Percussion King. Famed to be one of the drum machines Kraftwerk used on Autobahn!! These do not come up often. Great for a collector, but works great too. Drums are triggered using buttons or foot pedals (included, permanently attached), and the drums can be assigned to upbeat/downbeat. This is a very unique setup for a drum box, but heck it was 1967. The available drum sounds are crash cymbal, brush cymbal, bass drum, snare drum, drum roll, bongo I, bongo II, block, clave, and castanet. 1/4" audio output and volume and tone controls."

Madrona Labs Aalto

"Aalto is a new synthesizer coming from Madrona Labs this summer. Aalto can make many different kinds of sounds, including some that have been difficult or impossible to do with softsynths until now.


Aalto FM Bounce by Randy AKA Caro
"Here is a bouncing-ball-style patch made with FM"

Aalto Timbre+Shape by Randy AKA Caro
"Here's a clip demonstrating the timbre and waveshape knobs of the complex oscillator."

"MP3s do not compress single-oscillator sounds very well---to say the least! To hear the full-quality sound, use the download links on the Soundcloud players.

Aalto came about because I wanted Soundplane owners to have a rich and expressive sound making tool right out of the box. I designed a small synth that would be easy to learn, easy to use, rich in possibilities, and tightly connected to the controller. Though we still have some work to do on the controller, the synth is nearly done. So we are releasing a MIDI-controlled version of Aalto as an AU and VST plugin this summer.

There's a lot more to say about Aalto, so please stay tuned for more info including a demo movie very soon. If you have questions or suggestions, please visit our forums. I'll post some more info there to get things started.

The Soundplane remains the reason we are doing all of this, and we continue to make progress on it. Brian has recently shifted gears from hardware design to firmware programming. Please check back or subscribe via RSS for an update on the Soundplane A soon!"

Update via Wavedeform in the comments: "As a Buchla user, this plugin appeals to me. It has a familiar vocabulary."
