Flight Of Harmony V'Amp VCA Barebones Pack

via this auction

"What is it?
The V’Amp is a combined voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) and ring modulator (A.K.A. ring “mod”), with a little bit extra. The effect of a VCA is known as amplitude modulation (AM), while a ring mod is a frequency mixer, an effect known as heterodyning.
Heterodyning takes two frequencies –– traditionally known as the “carrier” and the “modulator” –– and mixes them, producing the frequencies that are sum and difference of these two at the output, i.e., if the carrier is 220Hz and the input is 400Hz, the sum frequency will be 620Hz and the difference frequency will be 180Hz. Ring modulation is used to generate non-harmonic (not an integer multiple of the base frequency –– 2x, 3s, etc.) frequencies, which are necessary for, say, metallic sounds like cymbals. A perfect heterodyning will have neither the carrier nor the modulator present in the output. While achievable on paper, this is extremely difficult to accomplish in reality, so some bleedthrough of one or the other (or both) is often present to some small degree.
While typical ring mod devices are designed specifically for frequency mixing, the V’Amp allows you to not only change the degree of the mixing and the level of the bleedthrough, but can also be used as a VCA at the same time. The mixing can be varied from VCA (carrier only), into ring mod, then out of ring mod into inverting VCA (inverted carrier).
Mod1 is the modulator. Envelope and Mod2 should be thought of as VCA (AM) inputs, but separate. Envelope is a straight VCA control voltage (CV) input, while Mod2 is an attenuated/variable CV input.
The morphing of the Mod1 function is not fully controllable by CV and must be varied using the knob to access the full range of variation. However, experimentation has shown that a DC offset voltage applied to the Mod1 input can be used to voltage-control a small range of the function morphing.
As with all f(h) products, the V’Amp was engineered towards maximizing functionality while keeping cost as low as possible. If some aspects of the unit seem awkward, it is most likely due to this. The goal is to make unique, useful, enjoyable, and affordable instruments, not just hoover1 out your bank account, so each module requires a little patience and experimentation before their secrets become apparent.

Controls
Mod1: This is the magic knob, controlling the frequency mixing as described in the introduction. Mod1 varies the amount that the Mod1 signal modulates the input signal, as well as controlling the polarity of the output: positive from 7:00 to 12:00, negative from 12:00 to 5:00.
Mod2: This is the Mod2 input attenuator control.
Offset: Think of this as an internal gain control. The Offset can be used to raise or lower the general level of the output signal, but it also can be used to fine-tune the interaction of the various CV inputs. Try it, you’ll understand.
Input: This is the input level control. Just like a volume knob – clockwise increases level, counter-clockwise attenuates the signal level.

Output: Output level control. Acts the same as the Input control. Jacks
Env in: Unattenuated VCA CV input. Mod1: Modulator signal and/or CV input. Mod2: Attenuated VCA CV input. Input: Signal (or carrier) input.
Output: The output jack."

Flight Of Harmony POWER Barebones Pack w/Power Adapter

via this auction

"What is it?
This one is pretty straightforward: a power supply for your modular synthesizer rig. No sweet spots, no easter eggs, it just makes juice.
POWER was designed with portable racks in mind –– shallow depth, reduced weight, and keeping the mains transformer outside of the case to eliminate related noise and heat –– but it can be used to supply any compatible system.

Usage
The standard AC wall adapter (if you purchased the standard unit) is rated for 1 Ampere (A. K. A. 1 Amp, 1A, 1000mA), as is the POWER module itself. For best performance – and this applies to ALL electronics, by the way – you should never run POWER at its maximum rating. A 60% load (600mA) is the practical limit for best performance. If you need/want to run it up to 75% or 80%, a greater capacity adapter is needed to maintain performance. Adapters get hotter as more power is drawn from them, which increases the internal resistance and thusly reduces the performance. A 1500mA rated adapter is recommended. The adapter plug must be a 2.1mm x 5.5mm x 9.5mm barrel-type plug.

Connections
The output connectors are standard 0.25” width male quick-connect terminals, compatible with the standard Doepfer PSU harnesses and distribution board terminals.
T+1 & T+2: +12V T-1 & T-2: -12V TG1 & TG2: System ground
Compensation jumpers
Power supplies are infamous for mysteriously becoming unstable. Their performance is dependent upon the type of load they are powering, and no two systems are the same. As I have dealt with this sort of problem in the past, there are provisions on the PCB to adjust the regulator output capacitors to tailor output performance to your specific
load characteristics.
The existing jumpers – JP1(V+) & JP2(V-) – bypass these provisions, and are required for normal operation. The positions marked JP3 & JP4 are connected in parallel with C4 and C8, respectively, and can be used to increase the regulator output
capacitance. Cut JP1 or JP2 as necessary to reduce the output capacitance.

Includes a US-Style Power Adapter"

"From the Waldorf User FAQs:
Q: What kind of funny humourous words are on the back of a XTk?

A: "Achtung: In diesem Gehäuse tummeln sich erschreckende Auswüchse digitaler Mikroelektronik, die selbst für den versierten Heimwerker eine nicht zu unterschätzende Gefährdung seiner sämtlichen Gerätschaften
inclusive seines irdischen Daseins darstellen. Wir bitten Sie daher inständig, das Gerät weder Feuchtigkeit, noch Schmutz oder Schmodder auszusetzen und speziell das Innere des Geräts strikt zu meiden. Wir gehen - in Ihrem ureigenen Interesse - sogar so weit, sämtliche Garantieansprüche bei Zuwiderhandlung zu negieren. Wenn Sie jedoch dem Drang, das Gehäuse trotz dieser Warnung zu öffnen, nachweislich widerstanden haben, schicken wir Ihnen mit größter Freude eine große Tüte Gummibärchen. Übrigens - Sie schauen ganz verdreht..."

"A word to the wise: This device is home to terrifyingly complex clutter of digital microelectronics, which, even if you are an experienced do-it-yourselfer, pose a great danger to all the rest of your gear, not to mention your earthly existence. Ergo, we implore you to expose this device to neither moisture nor dust and dirt, and particularly, to avoid the interior of the device like you would the plague. We'll even go as far - in your best interest of course - to void the warranty should you fail to comply. Incidentally - you look somewhat bewildered..."

The two paragraphs above run the entire length of the backplate in parallel, with the last sentence ending in a curl. The english is not a direct translation of the german, in particular the offer to send a big pack of jelly bears if you've resisted the temptation to open the case is missing"
