Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm Drum Machine (retro analog)

via this auction
"vintage drum machine by Wurlitzer. It's the kind of sound you'd expect from old tube organs. This is a solid-state, pre-digital rhythm machine. It has push-pull knobs on the face for turning the unit off and on. The orange lights still glow and every preset is tested and working. There are five sound banks and five instruments. The knobs are momentary levers that you hold down to get a temporary sound from. If you release them they return to the original position and go silent. You can hear demos of this model on YouTube. You'll need an RCA to 1/4" convertor to run it with effects or a reverb unit. "

Livewire - Dalek Modulator Cybernetic Voicebox

via Big City Musik on eBay
"Kaled technology: adapted schematics from the Dalek Cybernetic Voicebox.

The first module in the Alien Modulator series, the Dalek Modulator contains 2 linear cross-modulating VCOs and a ring modulator in one module.

The ring modulator's carrier and modulator inputs are normalized to the internal VCOs, but either or both can be replaced with any external signal. VCOs feature internal cross-modulation, horizontal symmetry control, sine and square wave outputs and can be used independently of the ring modulator.

"An angry cat inside a module!" - Alessandro Cortini - NIN, Modwheelmood

Specifications:
Inputs: CV modulation of frequency with attenuation, carrier signal input, modulator signal input.
Outputs: Carrier VCO output, modulator VCO output, ring modulated signal output.
Controls: Carrier & modulator VCO controls for frequency, horizontal symmetry, hi/lo speed selection, waveform selection and CV modulation attenuation. Each external input has selectors for AC/DC coupling. Modulation can obey or destroy!
Space Usage: 14 HP/TE"

MFB Seq-02 Sequencer

via this auction
See the seller's other items for more modules.
"mfb’s new step-sequencer seq-02 is the perfect companion to our synthesizer- and drum-module range. seq-02 is specialized in rhythm- and sequence programming.

seq-02 can be used as a sequencer with 6 cv- and 6 gate-outputs. alternatively, it may also be used with either 12 cv- or 12 gate-/trigger-outputs.

seq-02 allows creating 16 sequences with up to 32 steps each. the sequences can be stored and offer 6 or 12 tracks. in addition, an a- and b-part allows building 2-bar-sequences using the a/b-switch.

use trigger impulses at inputs “sequence +“ and “sequence –“ to switch to adjacent sequences.

start/stop and tempo (clock) can be either controlled directly at the module or remote-controlled through external signals. of course, seq-02’s start/stop and clock can act as a master for other sequencers. the reset-input allows switching the current sequence back to step 1.

beyond using seq-02 to trigger drums and envelopes, there are countless options for trigger-impulses in a modular environment. these may be used for sample&hold, switches, clock-dividers/sequencers or logic-modules. this allows to create rhythmic events, where usually a straight clock would be used for triggering, e.g. in s&h- or clock-dividing-modules. thanks to the big number of cv- and trigger-tracks, seq-02 will always allow for some extra assignments beside the drum-groove.

the module has a width of 100 mm (20 te)."

Note the missing button lenses.

"Only real cosmetic issue is that two of the tiny LED lens covers for buttons 6 & 7 (see pictures) are missing. However, those buttons, and all other buttons, work properly."

"A very interesting and almost historical synthesizer.

Tone color / quality / character could be described as simply unique.

As far as I know, there are not many K150s made, and K150s are one of only a few (hardware) additive synths ever made.

And, it's a Kurzweil, meaning that there is something about the sound, beside and beyond all the specs and numbers. If you ever have owned a Kurzweil before, you know.

This military / heavy industrial looking K150 is in full working condition (all buttons, display, connections, etc.) except the headphone output.

It is completed with an Apple II system with a MIDI interface card and software. It will definitely save you hassle of searching, getting, waiting, etc, etc...

This Apple II functions as the dedicated graphical patch editor and librarian, using SMP (Sound Modeling Program) software from Kurzweil.

Without that Apple II system, as far as I know, it will be almost impossible to edit. (possible but 240 partials! editing from the front panel?)

The Apple II is completed with a dual / double floppy drive, and a CRT monochrome monitor (green letters!)"
