Hartmann Neuron Synthesizer

PEARL SC-40 Programmable Synthesizer Drum Brain

via this auction

"It is not well known although i cannot understand why because it can produce and endless varienty of synthesized percussion and drum sounds, far beyond the boring Simmons-Piuuuuu.

The specs:
* The "40" means it can produce 4 sounds at once (not 40 ? no, only 4)
* Although it has 4 voices there are 8 Pad-Slots
* each Pad can be fired by a 6.3 mm -jack trigger-in OR (have a seat) .. MIDI (although it tends to hangup when fired with extensive data)

* each Pad has (if you like) an individual out or goes to the sum-out
* each Voice is made of: 1 digital Wavegenerator and Noise, 2 Bandpassfilters and 4 Envelopegenerators, see blockdiagram to the right. You can tweak the 'tone' and the 'attack'-part separately and set the balance of both.
* The 32 waveforms sound like cheap 12 bit samples with a loopphase. Some sound like sine or a chime or a gong. I put up a soundfile with all the waveforms below.
* you can store (!) 4 x 8 Banks, each with 8 Pad-Parametersets (=Sounds)"

flickr By curvetheory

"Not available from Moog in this color configuration."

You might have caught this Phatty in this post.

Some info via curvetheory:
"It was the first one in the world, as far as I know. I’ve had it for a few months and was just waiting to be able to show it. Moog had all black LPs at NAMM so the cat is out of the bag."
