Roland MC-8 MicroComposer Analog Sequencer

via this auction
"Before the MC-4, Roland released the MC-8 sequencer. They are a bit different: while the MC-4 has more memory and an interface which leverages software control a but more, the MC-8 has more outputs and some features which support analog modulars a bit more (to my opinion, anyway). They both have that bang on, rock solid timing which is still missing from MIDI and so they are a critical component to certain old school vibes. This particular model of sequencer is behind many classic electronic tracks, perhaps best known as a preferred "axe" of Giorgio Moroder.

The top of the chassis was designed badly by Roland from an aesthetic perspective: un-primered medal painted with gray paint. As such, some of the paint has chipped away. This of course does not affect functionality, and a weekend spent with a screwdriver, sand paper, primer and paint could remedy this if you're restoration-minded.

Included also is the original manual - very hard to find.

The shipping cost is a bit higher than expected because it is built like a *tank*. The MC-8 is VERY heavy, and I intend to ship it and the interface module in separate boxes so that they do not interact in a bad way during shipping. ;-]

This auction includes:
- Roland MC-8 Sequencer
- Roland MC-8 Interface Module
- Roland MC-8 Interface Bus Cable
- Roland MC-8 Factor Manual (not a reprint!)"

tabulaRasa: Arduino Shield Wavetable Oscillator - Cycling Waveforms

YouTube via surgesg | October 26, 2010

"The tabulaRasa is a Wavetable Oscillator on an Arduino Shield. Users can design and load their own waveforms.
Here, the oscillator cycles through 11 custom waveforms.

tabulaRasa is currently in development...

Arduino Wavetable Oscillator Demo

"Using an Arduino, voltage-to-frequency converter, and digital-to-analog converter to make a wavetable oscillator. The sinewave output is stored in a memory array on the Arduino, and read out at varying frequencies - which are determined by a voltage input. See more at http://www.gregsurges.com/"
