Skychord SLEEPDRONE 6

via this auction
"the sleepdrone 6 is a hex oscillator analog drone machine


the sleepdrone 6 creates aggressive fighter bomber drones

smothering all matter within audible range into a brutality harmonic meditation

the knobs connect to invisible rope pulleys that harness the tension of energy from above

also the ropes are connected to the wings of flying craft

at the end of the ropes there are hooks

these hooks steal sound vibrations from the air and turn them into terror

the terror is then conveyed into packets of energy

the packets of energy are commanded by the sleepdrone 6

features:
6 analog square wave oscillators
6 volume controls
6 on/off controls
master volume mono out

powered by a standard external dc adapter"

Wasp DeLuxe synthesiser by Electronic Dream Plant


via this auction

"Wasp synthesisers by EDP are rare, but this is a 'DeLuxe' with a 3 octave full size keyboard (not the standard 'touch' pad). This is ultra rare. In very good condition. Front plate is very good. 1 rotary knob is missing its yellow top (pic 4). Back plate has some light scratching (pic 5). Wood panels are all in good condition... This is a very special instrument and a piece of history. Works on battery (6 x size C) or mains converter..."

Oberheim Strummer

via this auction
"Oberheim came out with this in the early 1990s along with it’s product the Drummer. a midi drum pattern sequencer. The Strummer will transform your keyboard playing into a stunning and convincing performance featuring realistic guitar articulation. By looking at such factors as the range of the guitar, the number of notes being played, chord position, and the velocity of the performance. Strummer can transform the incoming MIDI data out into performance data emulating that of a real guitarist. Performance data may be delayed, echoed, harmonized, transposed and sent back out on multiple MIDI channels. In addition to control over strum direction and speed, the Strummer also features Chord Capture for real time single finger chords. Individual picking patterns and riffs may be assigned to a single key for real time performance playback. You can even control the number of "strings" being strummed via keyboard velocity. With Strummer Keyboard players now can emulate guitar techniques on their synthesizers and samplers to create incredibly authentic guitar sounds. The Strummer listens to chords played on a MIDI keyboard and plays them back through a MIDI sound source (synthesizer or sampler) just as they would be played from a guitar. Chord voicings will now be correct to accurately reproduce guitar sounds and the chords can actually be "strummed".

The Strummer can change the speed and direction of the "strums" just by changing the way the keyboard is played. Also, the Strummer has the ability to distinguish between chords and single notes, allowing chords to be sent over one MIDI channel, while single notes are sent out over a different channel (like a solo lead guitarsound).

In addition, the Strummer includes many other important features:
· MIDI Delay (Echo)
· Adjustable delay and decay rates
· Multiple MIDI channel output
· Velocity switching
· Keyboard splitting
· Chord voicing variations
· Arpeggiation
· Chord Capture (adjustable single finger chords)
· Transposition of MIDI delay (great for MIDI harmonizing)
· Synchronizes to MIDI timing clocks (External Sync)
· MIDI program changes
· Supports MIDI Sysex for storage transfer of user defined patches"

Yusynth CV Standards 1V Octave Analog Modular


via this auction
"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired in the 5U MOTM / Moog format... Yusynth Standards Synthesizer Module. Change the pitch of three VCOs with precision from one module! I use it for all types stuff: changing the intervals on my VCOs, 1/V tuning of my VCOs and Filters, quickly changing the CV coming out of my Klee sequencer, etc. An extremely versatile module.

Building this module requires precise calibration of over 26 multiturn trimmers! Save yourself the time, hassle, and inevitable troubleshooting by purchasing this Klee fully and professionally assembled by Free State FX.

Here is some information about the Standards from the Yusynth Website:

"This utility modules provides switchable discrete CVs with useful intervals such as :

octaves; eleven 1V steps from 0V to 10V (useful to control the yusynth VCOs which have no octave range switches);
semitones; eleven 1/12 V steps from -0.4166V to 0.4166V (useful to detune a VCO with semitone intervals)
These stepped CVs are available independently on three voices and for each voice three buffered outputs are provided in order to drive more than one module (these are not multiples but true electrically separated and buffered outputs).

Also for each voice, an external CV can be summed to the stepped voltages. These inputs are intended for connecting external controllers such as a keyboard or a sequencer. Note that the input of voices 2 and 3 are defaulted to the previous input. For example if one connects a keyboard CV to IN #1 then this CV is echoed on the two others voices. But if one connects three different CVs on the three inputs, then each voice is only driven by the corrsponding input." - Yves Usson

Assembled with:
3 Octave Switches (1 per Voice)
3 Semitone Switches (1 per Voice)
12 Switchcraft Jacks
24 ga Mil Spec Wire
Polyester Film Capacitors
Metal Film Resistors
Double Plated PCB with Soldermask
MOTM Power Connector
Runs on +/- 15 Volts"

NEW Electro-Music Klee Analog Sequencer


via this auction
"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired in the 5U MOTM / MOOG Format.

For those that don't know, the Klee is the most feature packed, crazy, beautifully insane sequencer out there. Every option is implemented in this layout. Once you get one the Klee in your rack, you'll wonder how you managed without it. It can function like any other 16 step sequencer out there, or it can function like it has a brain of it's own. Easily programmed with your own ideas, or flip the Random Switch and find out what "it" has in mind. An endless source of inspiration.

This is one BIG build. Save yourself the time, hassle, and inevitable troubleshooting by purchasing this Klee fully and professionally assembled by Free State FX.

The Klee, pronounced Clay, is a shift register based sequencer. What makes the Klee different from most sequencers is that more than one Stage/Step can be active at any given time. Most sequencers have one active Stage, the CV for that Stage is programmed via the pot, and the CV is then sent to the CV Out. With the Klee, one or more stages can be active at one time, the CV programmed by the active Stages is added together, and is then sent to the CV Out. This function just scratches the surface of what the Klee is capable of

This Klee been modified with Bi-Color LEDs so Stage LEDs 9-6 are green when the sequencer is in 2X8 mode. All other LEDs are red.

I could not possibly list all the functions of the Klee here. More inormation about how to use the Klee can be found here:
