Abildgard Droid-3 digital monophonic synth

via this auction

"There are probably only three of these in the States because I flew to Denmark to pick two of them up personally from Mr. David Filskov.

Mine is #15. It's in perfect condition with US power supply, but it is switchable so you would just need to change the plug for EU use.

I totally love it and I am only selling because of medical bills. Hopefully it will find more love in a happy new home.

It sits very well with my Sidstation...it has a cleaner, tighter, more sophisticated sound...amazing dynamic range...I was using it for bass a lot. Very tight and punchy.

Here is a link to the website that has the manual and brochures: http://abildgard.com/droid3/"

Elby ChaQuO Eurorack Synth Module

via this auction
See the seller's other items for more.
"The main function of this module is a versatile chaotic signal generator (cg). chaotic signals are signals that have varying degrees of interesting irregularity without actually becoming random. this cg is an analog electronic simulation of the classical driven double potential-well problem, with the addition of extra gain in the circuit loop, and an extra cross-coupling path to extend the range of chaotic patterns available.

The double-well system is a "second-order" system and therefore requires an external driving signal. this is provided by the second part of the module, a sinusoidal quadrature oscillator (qo). the two parts of the module may be used together or separately. the cg may be driven by any output of the built-in qo or by any external oscillator. the qo may drive the cg or be used independently as a four phase oscillator for the usual spatial modulation and other applications. both parts of the module are manually controlled, to provide a compact, cost-effective unit. the qo has a frequency span of ~0.03 hz to ~3 khz in two overlapping ranges.

This module has a maximum current draw of 45ma. it requires 20 hp/te worth of space to fit in a eurorack frame."

Return of the Jedi Luke Lightsaber With Blade Attached

We have ribbon controllers, and we have optical theremin controllers. Why don't we have light sabers? Apologies for the ribbon light saber visual. Map that baby to an oscillator and you'd impress all the girls.
"This is a vid of the saber with the removable blade installed."

Automatic - Pointer Sisters (Moog Bass Along)

"Always wanted to cover this one.
One of my favourite dance tracks from way back when music was cool.

All instruments have been recreated, so I'm not playing over the original.
I only sampled some bits, like some vocals and rhythm guitar, as they were impossible to recreate.

Most of the synth sounds are from the Prophet-5, which you can see under the Minimoog that I play. Both these synths are my favourite instruments.

The drums are all Addictive Drums by XLN-Audio, both the electronic and acoustic drum sounds.
The 808, Linn, DMX and Simmons sounds are all from Reel Machines, which is an AD-Pak from XLN-Audio for Addictive Drums.
It's really easy to combine the sounds from these classic drum machines and edit them in the one patch. I wasn't pleased with Reel Machines at first, but now that I got used to them it's not too shabby."
