Tom Oberheim SEM PRO - MIDI and CV!

via StromKult

"Tom Oberheim just announced a limited run of another version of his SEM synthesizer: The SEM-Pro

This one combines the MIDI capabilities of the MIDI version but adds 21 jacks which allow for additional patching!

The SEM-Pro will be available in December for 1090 Euro (incl VAT) at SchneidersLaden"

No mention of the SEMPro on http://tomoberheim.com/ at the time of this post.

2x Cwejman Module Racks w/ PSU

via this auction
"Cwejman made a couple of short runs of superior quality 19" rack enclosures designed to match their eurorack-format modules. These racks are 7U in height allowing for two rows of modules and additionally a utility panel which features multiples, voltage offsets (one is meant for tranposing with clicks for each octave) and a glide/portamento device.

These racks are very shallow, much like the Cwejman modules and so only shallower eurorack-format modules will fit in these chassis. Many modern brands have designed their modules this way as panel-mounted electromechanical components are more reliable and easier to assemble. I've successfully had various modules from Harvestman, Malekko, Livewire, Plan B mounded in these racks.

The two racks in this auction share a power supply which is able to power also a third rack, if you can manage to find one!

This auction includes:
- Two (2) Cwejman Eurorack-format Rack Chassis
- One Cwejman PSU
- Power cables to connect both chassis to the PSU"

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/"
