Analog Synth Modules: Filter, Oscillators, LFOs PAIA


via this auction "3 Frac Rac sized 9 volt homemade analog or analogue synthesizer modules. These were made to fit into and be powered from a Blacet type setup (http://www.blacet.com/) and use 1/8" jacks and Molex connectors. .From left to right in the photo: 1). dual oscillator module constructed from two opamp function generator kits featuring separate waveform outputs, manual frequency control knob, and control voltage input. This does NOT track at any known standard, i.e. 1v/octave. You can't play tunes with this unless you are very creative. 1 space width. 2). Filter module, based on Craig Anderton's wah filter from the "Electronic Projects for Musicians" book. Homemade circuit board with lots of knobs. Rather gritty. 2 space width. 3). Dual LFO module with rate control: these are Blacet LFO PCBs that he used to sell for his CZ-101 Instamod. 1 space width.

Using a proper power supply, such as two 9 volt batteries wired properly, and a few 1/8" cables..."

Circuit Bending a Roland TR-77 aka Bentley Rhythm Ace FR-8L


Details on the bends on Circuitbenders.co.uk. Interesting bit on the history of the TR-77:

"Why both names you might ask? Well, before Roland came into existence there was a company in the 70's called Acetone who distributed several drum machines of the 'sit on top of your home organ' variety. These machines were mostly firmly in the Rhumba and Bossanova camps, but in the UK they were marketed under the name Bentley Rhythm Ace, which is as good a name as any i guess. Eventually all these distributors morphed into the mighty beast that was Roland in the late 70's and early 80's, but many of their product ranges seem to have been redesigned and sold as Roland machines, often at the same time as appearing under other names. One of these is the Bentley Rhythm Ace FR8L which is to all intents and purposes a Roland TR77 drum machine, the first product ever to bear the Roland name."

You can find an image of the FR-8L in this previous post. For comparison, here is a pic of an FR-6.
