Theremin by Theremaniacs

http://www.theremaniacs.com

"The Theremaniacs theremin is a simple and durable ANAOLG design made from readily available standardized parts. The end result is a lower cost product without future obsolete or hard to find components.

This is an instrument that is sensitive and stable enough to play a melody without having a coarse annoying tone that digital chip Theremins can produce."

Interesting side note: the Theremaniacs theremin was used in The Destroyer guitar featured here.

Wiard 300 Series 391 Sequantizer

via this auction
"This Sequantizer , a sequencer-quantizer module, is a voltage stage-selectable eight step voltage source with semi-tone quantizer, lag processor, control voltage mixer and transposer. The unit implements most of the stage performance controls from a Roland TB-303 including octave transpose up, octave transpose down and slide on/off. Each stage has a diode isolated gate output which can be multipled together for an accent bus.

The quantizer has an external transpose input for a keyboard. The quantizer and 0-10V outputs are available simultaneously. Also, the digital counter and flash A/D input are X-ored together so adjustment of the "Select" input during sequencing permutes the sequence pattern. (like the random switch on a ARP sequencer, only more controlled.)

The Sequantizer module contains:
* An eight step analog sequencer. Stage selection is by voltage or by counter
* A voltage quantizer
* A control voltage mixer and transposer
* A jack multiple"

via this auction "The "Super VCA" developed for the Wiard -- the Mixolator -- is a switchable two or four quadrant multiplier. Four quadrant multiplication is also call "balanced modulation" or "ring modulation"

This module contains two identical units. It begins with a high quality DC coupled dual input VCA with individual volume controls (labeled X1 and X2). A "Y" input and output are included so that any combination of mixing, panning, crossfading, gain control, phase inversion and ring modulation are possible. The voltage control curve of each VCA is smoothly pannable from linear to logarithmic response. The output of the each VCA is displayed on a four LED VU meter.

The Mixolator module contains:
* Two Multi-function circuits that provide VCA, crossfade, seque and balanced modulator functions
