The Harvestman – Evin 209 Matrix Mixer

via this auction

"Overview:
4x4 matrix mixer and bipolar feedback grid Evin 209 provides four different mixes of four signal inputs. Each output row can be switched between unipolar (zero to max) and bipolar (negative max to zero to positive max) mix behavior. The module is DC-coupled so that you may also mix control signals this way. An expansion header is also provided on the rear of the module. It currently connects to a m'79 Stilton Adaptor for true Feedback Console operation (the inputs and outputs of each module are normalled together, so a complex mix of a four-pedal feedback loop can be finely tuned). This header will also allow expansion with any other Feedback Console devices to be designed, such as VCAs or envelope extractors.

inputs and outputs:
Four inputs by four outputs matrix mixer Selectable unipolar or bipolar mix operation for each output group Expansion header for Stilton Adaptor +/-12V Doepfer-style power connector.

Measures and weight:
3U eurorack module
Panel size: 20HP"

"As promised, here is my first noodling on the OP-1, lots of the sounds were ripped from the internal FM radio. This was uploaded straight from the OP-1 with no post-editing or processing:"

That was actually my gear. A TR-909 I picked up at a pawn shop in Maui for $190 (see the bottom story here), my first synth, an Oberheim Matrix-6 (hence matrix), a pink and red Thingamagoop, Gaken SX-150, Handspring Visor running Mini Music, and a Malekko ID-600 Analog Delay pedal.

"After seeing the guys over at circuitbenders.co.uk bend some of these older Akai samplers, I just had to bend one. CrustyPaul over there got me started off on the right foot. I made a couple more little tweaks and here's what it sounds like. Check out my website for more info and more circuit bent stuff.
