Roland OP-8 Analog Synth CV/DCB Interface

via this auction
details via the seller:
"As you see in my photos I add a custom made DCB cable with it to hook it up with your synth.

I've used it with both Jupiter-8 and Juno-60.

I've used my Mono Analog synth/Seq such as MC-202 to drive the Jupiter-8 thrugh the OP-8 and it added a different color to the mix

The Jupiter-8 in Unison mode was mixed with the MC-202 sound and I've also played on a different channel my old Roland SH-101 and drove the Jupiter-8 live.

There are unlimited possibilites especially today with the Midi to CV like Kenton where you can use each channel to play different melody to drive the Jupiter or Juno.

The Roland OP-8 interface was designed to control Roland Analog Polyphonic Synthesizers that were equipped with a DCB (Digital Control Bus interface)

The OP-8 and a Synthesizer were connected together usin a DCB cable.

The transpose control on the OP-8 was able to transpose the synthesizer up or down by one octave..

When using the OP-8 with a Roland Juno 60 the connection and operation were extremely easy, as only the CV and gate input jacks, and the transpose switch were relevant"

Analogue Solutions SL16 Sequencer Module

via Noisebug on Ebay
"This is a 'module' intended to fit into a modular synthesiser case/PSU. SL16 needs a case and power supply to work. We can provide case AS0084 or AS1600, or you can fit into your own case.
*Rare option of sliders rather than rotary controls (an option some would prefer - gives a graphical representation of CV output)
*1x CV and 2 x Gate outputs.
*Binary input to control step number.
*SL16 comes with a powered case (shown in pic), power supply, and manual."

KORG MS20 and Philip Rees Little MCV

via this auction

"The first affordable modular synthesiser. Manufactured from 1978 to 1983 and still a classic. Its patch bay enables it to be physically re-modelled, similarly to the ARP 2600, but on a smaller (and affordable) scale. An external signal processor allows the connection of an external signal, which can be used to control the synthesised tone, or added to the signal path. It can produce incredible bass sounds (using the High Pass Filter as an oscillator)."

Robert Rich Discusses Modular Synths (Part 0)

YouTube via JohnLRice | August 15, 2010
Parts 1 and 2 here.
"This is part 0 of musician Robert Rich discussing the Synth Tech MOTM synth he is using on his current live tour and general thoughts on music composition and the use of modular synthesizers for live performances. Additional info about Robert can be found on his web site http://robertrich.com/

I took the opportunity to record video clips of this evening on my Nikon D300s camera using an AF-S Nikkor 35mm lens. Sound was recorded just using the camera's built in mic, which while not optimal, yielded reasonably good results.

Thank you for watching and don't forget to watch the other parts! I created the first two installments from the middle of the lecture and I didn't think I was going to do any more. But there has been some demand for more so I've now created four more parts. To keep things chronological so you can follow the lecture as it happened (minus all of the parts I missed due to camera limitations or I edited out ;-), the two parts that come before part 1 are named 0 and 0.5. The final two installments that come after part 2 are named 3 and 4 of course!"
