"Korg Electribe EA-1 MKII analog modeling synth (serial #003217). Korg Electribe EA-1 MKII is an analog modeling synthesizer that's designed for creating electronic music/production. Korg EA-1 is a two voice synth that lets you create and store patterns of up to 64 steps. Korg EA-1 MKII allows the user to create 2-part sequences using the psuedo-keyboard, or play into the input using a MIDI keyboard while the EA-1 MKII loops.

Each voice has two oscillators, and these patch into a analog-modelled filter. There are several effects that can be applied, including Ring Modulation, Sync, and Decimator. The sound of the oscillators and filters don't have the bite and fullness of traditional analog synthesizers. However, they do have an intersting sound themselves.

Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2 Hybrid Synth

via this auction

"Specs and Features :
Hybrid synth - oscillator section
4 free running oscillators with continuously variable wave shapes,time linearity modulation, audio range frequency modulation, phase modulation, oscillator synchronisation, ring modulation, bitreduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. Alternativly the oscillators can be started with a predetermined startphase. The glide effect is adjustable for each of the 4 oscillators separately. Each oscillator can be routed thru the various filter sections with individual level control.

Hybrid synth - analog filter section
2 real analog filters
- 24dB resonating lowpass with self oscillation
- 12dB resonating multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, bandpass and notch outputs and self oscillation. Both filters can be audio range frequency modulated by the oscillator section, external signals or DSP-synth parts. The filters can be operated in parallel or serial Mode. Of course they each have their independent envelopes for frequency and level control.

UC-1 SEQUENCER for SEQUENTIAL PRO-ONE

via this auction
"Recording in real-time as well as in step mode. 1760 memory locations can be allocated to 10 (non-volatile) individual sequences, 10 transpose sequences and 10 individual sequence chains. Depending on use, 586 to 880 notes can be stored in memory. Transpose- and chaining functions make it possible to compose complete songs of at least 20 minutes long.

The sequencer records Autoglide in single-step as well in real-time mode. Includes a high-resolution clock, freeing the Pro-One's LFO for modulation purposes, but when preferred, it is still possible to use the LFO for clocking.

All sequencing data can be stored and retrieved on tape or any other audio recording system. A 4-character alphanumeric display provides status feedback, including clock frequency, save/load information, etc.

All of the Pro-One's original functions remain. The new sequencer can still be triggered step-by-step with an external clock or audio signal. Two jacks sockets are added for high resolution clock in/out, enabling synchronization of the UC-1 to a drum machine or another UC-1/Pro-One.

The UC-1 provides sync-to-tape facility for multi track recording. Other equipment without tape sync can simultaneously be slaved to the Pro-One.

Through the Pro-One's CV and Trigger outputs it is also possible to use the sequencer for the control of other synthesizers with CV and Trigger in."

BRAND NEW KIT! - No longer available anywhere else. Latest version Rev.3 board and operating system 2.0 Approved and recommended by Sequential Circuits."

Machinedrum UW CTR-AL tweak demo "Control" (Siesta Submarina)

YouTube via TrondC | July 22, 2010

"Pattern jam around the allmighty and highly experiment-friendly CTR-AL Machine in the Machinedrum UW. Shortly put, this feature lets me use one of the MD's 16 tracks and control all parameters of all the other 15 tracks at once! SO, say I change the pitch in the CTR-AL machine, the effect is like I was turning 15 pitch knobs (1 for each other machine) at once, in perfect sync. Now, this machine works by controlling the coresponding parameter for each machine. meaning that since different machines have different parameters placed at the same relative spot (say, control knob #2 can be Decay for bassdrum, but Tone for a clap sound etc), this means that you get instand sonic mayhem at the tunr of a knob. In order to make this sound good instead of chaotic, is to learn what parameters are in use. I'm nowhere near knowing everything the way I want, but I know enough about the different sounds in the machinedrum so I have a certain clue what is going to happen. I'll try and explain here, but really too much going on for me to remember, so don't expect to be able to re-create this on your MD ;)"
