Cyndustries Burst Generator


via this auction

"Auction is for one out of production Cyndustries Burst Generator compatible with the Modcan A format, as shown in the picture by the arrow...

From the Cyndustries web site:

Ken Stone's enormously versatile and creative Burst Generator replies to a trigger input pulse - with a rotary switch selectable string of from one-to-nine pulses out. Bada, Bing! Bing! Bing! There's a choice between the adjustable internal clock or an external one, as well as logical outs representing when an "Event" is in progress, looping, or completed...

This can be used at slow speeds for example, to count the number of times a sequencer repeats before interrupting it's cycle, and then triggering another event to begin! Or the Burst Generator module can be used at pseudo audio frequencies for rasp and washboard effects.

When triggered by a keyboard, this versatile module can easily generate percussive Hammond Organ or woodwind type chiffs on each note played.

Lots of auto-compositional fun linking these together, or with the excellent Modcan 17A Sequencer or the Stone Gate Sequencers!"

Akai EWI 3020 wind controller+3020m analog synth module

via this auction

"Now, all the EWIs are beyond wonderful instruments, but there are reasons the 3020/m is my favorite:

- the 3020m is a real analog synth module that sounds huge, especially when you run it through even a tiny keyboard amp. (Not to dis the newer EWI 4000S, because it's great, however its digital synth is competent but not even close to the digitally-controlled analog one in this unit);

- the external instrument audio input lets you add the human expression of a wind controller to any sound (which you can trigger with the MIDI out of course), either on its own or in combination with the 3020m;

- all the knobs you need to grab in a hurry without fooling around (sensitivity adjustments for breath, pitch, bite, and glide sensors - and transposition) are right there, easy to adjust and clearly labeled on the 3020m's front panel. The 4000S has miniature knobs with black-on-black labeling that's impossible to see, hidden under a cover you have to remove, plus you have to go through menus and use a primitive display that you forget how to use if you don't use it all the time;

- earlier models required you to let extra air out the sides of your mouth, but the 3020 wind controller (8-octave range!) has a vent hole, and I prefer that. They kept that in the 4000S, the model after this one;

- with all its brains inside the external rack box you don't have to carry the extra weight around your neck that you do in the 4000S, even though the keys and mouthpiece are the same. Plus there's only one cable; the 4000S has MIDI, wall wart power, and audio."
