MIDI ARCADE STYLE CONTROLLER

via this auction

"MIDIBOX TYPE CONTROLLER. IT WAS USED TO CONTROL A NORD G2. SO THE LABELS AND GRAPHICS WERE RELATED TO THAT. BUT YOU COULD EDIT AND PROGRAM IT FOR WHAT EVER YOU WANT. THE LCD SCREEN DISPLAYS THE PARAMETERS AND CUSTOM LABELING ANYWAYS. PROGRAMMED THE ARCADE BUTTONS TO ACT AS A 2 OCTAVE KEYBOARD."

"HERE'S A LINK TO THE BILL OF MATERIALS. AS YOU CAN SEE IT AIN'T CHEAP TO BUILD ONE. IT'S CHEAPER THEN A OB SEM AND YOU GET WAY MORE FEATURES. I AM PROBABLY THE CHEAPEST IN PRICE FOR A MODULAR SYNTH.

THE PANEL WAS MADE USING THE MFOS TECHNIQUE. IT IS VERY CLEAN AND PRO LOOKING. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES. THIS ONE IS REALLY SHOCKING PINK.

THESE ARE THE MODULES:

(2) 'BLUE DEMON' VCO'S WITH: SAW/RAMP/SQUARE/TRANGLE/SINE AND LINEAR,FM,SYNC,PWM, AND 1V/OCT CV INPUTS.
(1) MODULAR PORTABLE BI-POLAR POWER SUPPLY WHICH HANGS OFF THE PANEL WITH BUILT IN MULTIPLE CV BUFFER.------>16VAC PWR INPUT(WALLWART) 2.1mm JACK
(1) NOISE GENERATOR : 4 NOISE FLAVORS!
(1) AC MIXER.
(1) LFO WITH S&H AND TAP TEMPO. SAW/RAMP/SQUARE/TRIANGLE/SINE/S&H
(2) ADSR ENVELOPE GENERATORS WITH MANUAL TRIGGER BUTTON.
(1) OB VCF WITH HP/LP/BP OUTS. WITH LINEAR/FM/EXPO CV INPUTS.
(1) MIDI 2 CV CONVERTER WITH (2) PITCH CV OUTS AND (1) GATE OUT, (1) TRIG OUT, (1) CC #100 MIDI --> CV CONTROLLER OUT
(2) JACK TYPE CONVERTERS
(2) ATTENUATORS."

Doepfer POCKET DIAL Midicontroller

via this auction
"16 high quality endless rotary encoders (alpha dials)
* solid silver-grey coeated metallic housing made of 1 mm steel
* measures about 25 x 9.5 x 4.5 cm
* black knobs, about 18 mm diameter
* distance between the knobs about 30 mm (from center to center)
* 4 banks that can be selected very fast via 4 buttons and blue LEDs (thus 64 "virtual" controllers are available)
* 32 presets (with 4 banks each, i.e. 128 presets altogether), selected via DIP switch at the rear panel
* program change button (as long as this buttons is pressed the encoder below no 8 transmits program change messages for fast preset changes of the unit controlled by POCKET DIAL)
* master channel button (for fast adjustment of the MIDI master channel, same function as Pocket Control)
* 24 detents/pulses per rotation, i.e. the data change is +/-24 per turn (if the encoder is turned slow, see acceleration)
* acceleration function, i.e. the data change increases if the encoders are turned faster"

'The Metasonix TM-1's circuit is directly derived from the award-winning Metasonix TS-21 "Hellfire Modulator".

The pentode preamp gives pure tube distortion, from soft and creamy to screaming guitar-amp like leads. Just crank the input volume.

The "pulser" circuit injects small, badly-formed pulses on top of the signal, giving an effect roughly similar to very erratic (and violently unstable) VCO sync. Forget getting this effect from another synth, analog or digital; they just can't do it. It sounds out of control, yet it is easily tweaked over a broad range with the PULSER STABILITY knob. Subtle, or gross; a vast range of sonic manglings are at your fingertips. (The pulser circuit works best with sharp-edged electronic waveforms, especially those from digital synths or analog VCOs.)

Finally, a special beam-deflection vacuum tube gives both wavefolding and ring modulation (carrier is provided by an internal wide-range oscillator, or inject your own carrier signal). There is nothing quite like the crossmodulation produced by the beam tube, its nonlinearities and resulting tonal effects are distinctive. Crude and NASTY, too.

TM-1's pulser effect uses a positive feedback loop, so the circuit is not stable under all settings. This allows its use as a self-contained pseudorandom signal generator, by patching its output back to its input. You've read about "strange attractors" and other chaotic sound generation techniques? The TM-1 is the first all-tube chaotic sound generator. The results must be heard to be believed!'"
