"These are a few of the fun patches I found in the MidiBox SID I just got. I thought I'd show them off because I just can't get enough of that SID sound."

Bode Frequency Shifter cased & psu

via VEMIA

"Moog / Bode Frequency Shifter 1630 The Bode Frequency Shifter was originally designed for use with Moog modular systems. The sound of the Bode is unique – it produces highly complex waveforms by shifting not only the fundamental but all input frequencies by the same amount. The result: non-harmonic relationships between the frequencies in the output signal. This particular one comes in a nice wooden cabinet with a power supply (230 V), just as it was mounted and sold by Studio Funk Hamburg in the early seventies. Of course it can still easily be built into a modular system. The machine has been checked by a tech recently and is technically in a very good condition. The wooden cabinet shows minor signs of usage. A copy of the original (unfortunately not complete) description by Studio Funk in German language and some notes from the moog modular systems owner’s manual on the Bode are included as well."

DOEPFER MAQ 16 ANALOG MIDI SEQUENCER

via this auction
"This is the classic doepfer sequencer. sequence cv and midi synths at the same time. I believe Florian Shneider of Kraftwerk helped with the original design. It has a great funky feel to it and perfect for classic electro sequences. Its also easy to edit and quick to come up with creative sequences, being it has midi it can send velocity data which is really cool for those digital or hybrid synths that receive it. it can even send program changes per step which is very fun. This is a new model with the blue led's, as new condition.

The main feature of the maq is the real time access to the sequence via 48 rotary potentiometers grouped in 3 rows of 16 dials each. all important parameters like first/last step, midi event type, midi channel, forward/backward/random/pendulum mode, gate time, tempo and so on are independently assigned to each row and can be changed in real time while the sequence is running. this enables very complex sequences. the rows may not only be used for generating note events but also other important midi events or for controlling the length of time for each step. of course the maq allows the synchronisation via midi clock, start and stop either as master or as slave.

SEQUENTIX P3 SEQUENCER

via this auction
"the blurb: The P3 Sequencer is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer, with a user interface comprised of knobs, keys and LEDs. A sixteen character by two line PLED display provides confirmation of pattern data and access to advanced features and configuration options. P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.

P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomise steps, alter track and global settings, and much more. There are three modulation 'accumulators' per track, that can be used as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex pattern progressions.
Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another.

A Force-to-scale option provides preset and user-defined scales to keep everything in key (but defeat-able per pattern step if required), and a configurable 'change mode' allows patterns with different lengths and/or time-bases to free-run, or be synced to a global bar."

Red Acidlab Bassline TB-303

via this auction

"Check out www.acidlab.de for sound samples of this beast! This thing has some of the coolest features of any 303 clone out there. You can change in real time the pitch, octave, oscillator type and even program it on the fly! The filter is uber deep and silky smooth, this is no digital clone. This is the real deal completely pure analog signal path. Used extensively by German Acid Techno pioneer Dr. Walker and many of his friends in zie underground!"
