Francis Prève's Mattel Synsonics for Ableton

"In the pantheon of vintage analog drum machines, there's an unsung classic that isn't from a big name manufacturer like Roland or Korg, but from a toy company. Released in 1981, the Mattel Synsonics was an affordable black box that housed a fully analog kit consisting of kick, two toms, snare, cymbal and hi-hat - all playable via velocity sensitive pads."

You can find the live set on Francis Prève's site here. Be sure to see his Ableton Live label for previous sets.

Lunetta / MXR phase 90

"muttering around on the beast tonight.. through together a shift register controlled sequence using 4066 switches turning off and on oscillators fed into vactrol filters.. then the whole mix out through an MXR phase 90 pedal. I dig the pulsing created by the phasing."

Sequential Circuits Pro-One synthesizer for sale

YouTube Uploaded by spaceboyjosh on Aug 2, 2011

"This is a demonstration of my Pro-One analog monophonic (one note at a time) synthesizer, for sale soon on eBay. I have replaced the key bushings, de-oxidized the j-wires, cleaned and lubricated the knobs and switches, and lifted a grounding wire that was causing some loud humming in the output. The result of my work is a synthesizer that is clean, reliable, and a blast to play.

First I demonstrate that all the keys work, then I play some Donna Summer on the sequencer and fool around with the oscillator sync and modulation section. This barely scratches the surface of what this synthesizer can do."

via the seller: "For quite a long time now I have been working on making replacement control panel overlays for various vintage guitar synthesizer controllers. First, I needed high resolution scans of the original overlays. Next was creating an appropriate file to reproduce the original graphics. And finally there was the issue of what materials and techniques to produce the overlay.

After trying various materials, this overlay is printed on high quality acetate. I used a professional sign shop for the printing, as they had the machines, materials, and experience with creating products designed to take abuse and still look good."
