Lexicon LXP-5 & MRC

YouTube via futility1981 | July 14, 2010
The lexicon is for sale.
"Quick demo of the LXP-5 processing a Korg KR-55... with live tweaking on the MRC programmer. I just demonstrated the main delay and reverb in the delay/reverb algorythm. The pitch shifting is great too, and you can 'play' the pitch shift with MIDI notes. Great box, sad to see it go after so many years especially now that it's getting the 'retro-vintage' cred. Audio could be better, I used a line output from the LXP-5 (it's hiding under the KR-55, behind the MRC) to the mic input of the camcorder and reduced the output level. Better than the built in mic & speakers like most YouTube demos!"

Kawai SX-210 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

via this auction

"The rare and elusive Kawai SX-210 . . . Lovely sounding synth. Same warm and juicy filter SSM2044 filter chip found on the Korg Polysix and Trident synths, and some other classics from the era. Also has a sweet ensemble effect similar to the chorus found on the Juno 60."

THE BEE GEES RHYTHM MACHINE SYNTHESIZER MATTEL EIB 1978

via this auction

"This is an original Bee Gees Rhythm Machine electronic music synthesizer from Mattel dated 1978. The keyboard measures 7-3/4" x 4-1/8". It is in the original display box that includes the Bee Gees music book. This portable rhythm machine operates on one 9-volt battery. Pre-programmed Disco, Latin & Pop rhythms. The 20-key keyboard chimes out synth-tones while the percussion sounds can be raised or lowered in tempo. Has a 3.5mm output jack for use through an amp or mixer... Techno band Kraftwerk used this keyboard on "Pocket Calculator" and on their 1981 concert tour"

Moon Modular 552 Voltage to Midi Converter

via Noisebug on Ebay
"The module format follows the industry standard (synthesizers.com/Moog/Curetronic/Mos-Lab etc.)
Uses 1/4" Jacks -- Module Size: 2 unit space

Modules work with supply voltages of -12...-15 Volts/+12...+15 Volts

Two power connectors are on-board (synthesizers.com/Club of the Knobs), Threshold voltage of the trigger inputs is +1 Volt.

The modules are ready to be used: insert the module, connect the power plug, attach with a couple of screws and the fun starts...

Voltage Control Voltage to Midi Converter module enables the user to integrate modern midi- and even computer-generated instruments and effects into his modular environment.

Control your midi-equipment from your analog sequencer or from other control voltage generating devices.

This module features four input pairs for control voltages (0-10 volts) and gate signals to be transformed into midi-compatible control data.

Each input pair can be indepentently transformed into one the following types of midi data:

– Note-on/note-off
– Velocity (combined w/note-on)
– Pitch bend
– Modulation wheel (CC1)
– Breath controller (CC2)
– Pedal (CC4)
– Volume (CC7)
– Panorama (CC10)
– Special (CC20)
– Channel after touch
– Sustain Pedal
– Program Change

Note output can be transposed via midi information or control voltage (1 V/oct). Transpose status can be enabled independently for each of the four inputs. Eight midi channel configurations are provided to ease the setup."

Voltage Controlled Envelope Generator
in typical ADSR-Style with five voltage controlled parameters. Control voltage inputs with associated attenuator knobs for attack time, decay time, sustain level and release time and envelope amplitude.

The input jack for the amount of contour control is internally connected to +10 volt if nothing is patched. The time parameters range from 1 ms to approx. 20 s (at full modulation).

A gate button allows for manual triggering the envelope. Trigger threshold of the gate input is ca. 1 volt, positive edge.

The time control voltage inputs are “chained“: i. e. a control voltage in the „attack“-input controls the inputs D, and R as well, if there is nothing else patched. Control range is 0-10 volts, higher control voltages give longer envelope times.

Two LEDs serve as indicator lamps for ’gate pulse present‘ and for the envelope output.

Two envelope outputs serve as normal (0 to 10 volts) and inverted (0 to -10 volts) outputs."
