Pacific Fast Mail PFM HO Sound System 1

via this auction

"Pacific Fast Mail Sound System I. This is a locomotive sound effect unit intended for HO scale model train layouts. This unit was featured recently on the Matrixsynth blog because it is actually an analog synth gizmo of sorts. There are no audio out ports on the back since the idea was to have the sound travel through the current in model train rails which would then be picked up by an amplifier/speaker located in a train engine. In other words, to hear the sounds you will need a Pacific Fast Mail amplifier unit or similar unit (not included) wired to the main unit. These have been known to pop up on Ebay. This auction also includes 2 Quadratape I units. These are essentially basic cassette tape players (eject and play functions only) intended for continuous play effect cassettes. Both units will plug into the Minisound I unit. All items are in very good condition and will power up. I did not get the chance to actually hear the unit since I did not wire it to a speaker, so I am selling these as-is (although I'm pretty sure it will work)."

PICTORIAL ACTION by carrillion

"My first concept album whereby I purposely explored the Roland Juno 6 and it's arpegiator function.

Although the album was strictly a solo project (no Jase The Bass or Rachel Laine) I decided to stick with the Carrillion name. Rachel drew the cover based on an Athena poster, though I also made an alternative cassette cover with the image itself cut out of an Athena catalogue.

The project title was probably inspired by the Human League's 'Love Action'. 'Dare' had been a huge influence on me in 1982.

I had begun to experiment with flipping the cassette in the four-track over to get backwards effects as you will hear.

Buchla to Voyager

"A simple, yet hypnotic sequence programmed on the Buchla 200e Synthesizer. The 250e Dual Arbitrary Function Generator sends CV into the Kilpatrick K4816 Pattern Generator (which BTW is also clocking the 250e). Then the K4816 sends MIDI out to a Moog Minimoog Voyager Anniversary Edition which is "knob twiddled" and send out through a Tiptop Audio Z-DSP Stereo Delay."
