Buchla format Eardrill Model 077 Pendulum Ratchet


via this auction

"Pendulum section
The main clock rate goes from about eight and a half seconds per tick up to 10 ms per tick. Pendulum/Ratchet drawing
Transport controls
These do the obvious things to the clock. Sync does one non-obvious thing, though. In addition to syncing the clock, it also resets all the divisors.
Pulse Density Modulation
With the Density control all the way up, the "tock" output is the same as the "tick" output. Turning Density down creates a pulse train that randomly picks pulses from the clock to send out the tock output.

Division A and B.
These are variable Ratchet Divisors that can be freely positioned from a divisor of one to over a hundred. The divisor values can be limited to some interesting number sets, including primes and the fibonacci series. The limit options are arranged in decreasing density:
limit off
odd (1 3 5 7..127)
even (2 4 6 8..128)
primes (2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127)
trip (1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 32 48 64 96 128)
Fibonacci (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144)
^2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16..128) Ratchet section
can be clocked from an independent source, although it will still listen to the sync jack as noted above. Either the tick jack or the tock jack can reach the Ratchet in jack with a shorting plug. Fixed divisors
Divisors that include common note values (2s column) and triplet values (3s column)."

Emu Systems Emulator 3 with Backlit Display


via this auction

"Emu Emulator III model 6081 (8MB upgrade!!) running the latest/last Firmware v2.00 and Software v2.42 *This Emulator III has been fully tested and in 100% all-around excellent working condition!! It has just gone-through an extensive cleaning/servicing/recalibration/upgrading. Every part/component/connection has been cleaned of all dust/residue. Every IC, LED, and ribbon/molex cable was cleaned/re-seated. All buttons, sliders, felt padding, keys/key contacts have been detailed/cleaned for optimal performance. The PSU has also been re-calibrated for a strong/reliable running machine. This EIII also has just been upgraded from a 6081 model to an 8MB 6083 model, as well as upgrading to a 1GB HD!! Please note: I can also offer 1GB CF card modification for an extra fee to those interested (this would replace the 1GB HD that is currently offered in the auction). The Mitsubishi 3.5" disk drive also works flawlessly!! Both wheel controllers are working as they should, and have also been cleaned/lubricated. The entire keyboard assembly was dismantled/completely cleaned so all keys work/respond beautifully!! If you are familiar with the Emulator III, then you will understand the value of this kind of work. The cosmetic condition of this EIII is also excellent!! The Emu Systems Emulator III is the holy grail of 16-bit samplers, using 16 x CEM3387's analog filter chips (same as Waldorf Wave/Microwave1), for the most beautiful of sounds!! You won't find a cleaner/more reliable EIII on the planet, grab this one before someone else does!!"

"Nice 8x8 matrix mixer/multiple for all kinds of duties: Mixing of course, it's also great for gradual building up drones through muting/unmuting etc... Very versatile and sturdily built.

If you use something like the Doepfer A-160/161 Clock Sequencer for the 8 inputs, you get a nice little step sequencer with 8 steps and 8 mutable tracks.

Musically these sketches are embarrassingly outdated and 20 years too late, I know, but otoh, who cares. Take it as a bit of nostalgia :) This channel is not for my musical output anyway, Katavist's videos should serve (ideally) only as a source of inspiration for *your* creativity with all this new modular stuff. Thank you for watching!"

NLogPolySynth in the Works?

just saw this image on moonbuz. I'm not finding mention of it on Tempo Rubato.

tempo rubato - iTunes
iPads on eBay
iPod Touch on eBay

Update: I have confirmation that this is coming soon. Note it is not an iPad app but a Mac OSX app. It will support eight individual polyphonic voices that can be layered or multi-timbral via different MIDI channels. It will be available exclusively on the App Store and will support AU for multiple instances running on your system. Patches should be compatible between apps.

'A Thousand Dreams' by Danielle


YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on May 17, 2011

"Hi :) This composition is a 80s ballad featuring the Jupiter-8 (VCO 1 sine + VCO 2 tri/delta wave with saw wave LFO in the VCA), Tr-808 (Part A and B) and JV-880 (Tines) midi'd to D-50 (for velocity). This song is one of those that 'appeared' to me in a dream, completely composed. Normally songs that appear in dreams are forgotten before I have the chance to record them but this one remained.
Please enjoy :)

:) TSF and the synths"
