Roland SH-5 classic monophonic synthesizer

via this auction

"There can be many different sounds in the mixer section at once. Each sound source (noise, vco 1, vco 2, ring mod, audio input) can be routed separately to either of the two filters or directly to VCA. Has stereo outputs, mono output, headphone out (which distorts beautifully) and audio input. Also CV / gate ins and outs as well as expression input. They work well with other synths (used and tested)."

Doepfer Study #01

YouTube Uploaded by mrmdshaw on Sep 17, 2011

"Two sequencer lines from the A-155 Analog/Trigger sequencer, are triggering two A-111 VCO's, which in turn, are being modulated slowly by two A-110 VCO's. The A-111 VCO's are then fed into the A-123 VCF4 highpass filter and the A-120 VCF2 lowpass filter. Both filters cut-off frequencies are being modulated by two A-145 LFO's at different slow rates."

Falling through Walls - Disorder promo set

YouTube Uploaded by grindFish on Sep 14, 2011

"A short set recreating somewhat my performance at Disorder - Through Insertion in Melbourne on September the 10th 2011. I say "somewhat" with extreme emphasis as this is all improvised and im sure it came almost completely different from my actual 1 hour set on the night (you can find that one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tIkJYGf6zU) but im aiming for a similar feel at least, hard industrial strength ball smashing acid beats!"

"FALLING THROUGH WALLS performing an improvised techno set on an EMX-1, KP3 and using CRYSTAL SYNTH, BE-BOT and DJ SAMPLER on the iphone. Kick processed via LINE 6 DR.DISTORTO. Live synth notes played via PADKONTROL."

Maestro Rhythm King MRK-4 drum machine

via this auction

"This is an analogue drum machine from the mid 1970s. It uses inductor coils or "tuned tanks" to produce its sound in a similar way to the Roland TR-77 and the Korg Mini-Pops.

It is quite rare especially in the UK and in this condition. All sounds work, all rhythms work and all sliders are nice and crackle-free. There are 10 sounds and 16 rhythms plus an intro/break feature. The rhythms can be combined as is typical with these older 'diode matrix' rhythm units. The two cymbal sounds have various decay amounts depending on the rhythms chosen ranging from a short maracas type sound to open high-hat.

There is a 'modulation' feature that takes an external input and modifies it (probably gating it rhythmically). However, I must stress that I have not been able to test this and the unit is now well and truly boxed-up and ready to go. I have absolutely no reason to suspect that it doesn't work and would be surprised if it didn't, but please assume that it doesn't and bid accordingly, then you won't be disappointed. This unit is first and foremost a drum machine and that part of it is fully working. There is also a multi-pin socket on the back for a foot controller I believe, but I do not have the controller and so haven't been able to test it. I wasn't able to find a service manual on-line so don't know each pin's function."

Powerhouse 8 Track Mellotron Style Tape Drum Machine Rhythm Unit

via this auction

"Sound Sales Inc / Bandmaser Powerhouse 8 Track Drum Machine Rhythm Unit based on similar technology to the mellotron.

Sound Sales Inc. was a company that serviced Mellotrons in the US, and they essentially ended up with the Mellotron inventory and the rights to the Mellotron name after the complicated collapse of the original makers of the Mellotron.
This has no other link with a mellotron and is very different in the fact that it is a Drum machine. It works by playing 8 track tapes at variable speeds to create rhythms. There are 8 Tapes with the unit with various styles like Motown, Samba, Funk, Twist, waltz, Bossa nova, Quickstep, mambo.

The condition of this retro beast is pretty good considering it is over 30 years old. All tapes seem to work although some sound better quality than others which depends how much use they have seen.

this link [Retro Synth Ads] has more details."
