"Vintage Korg-55b drumbox with 96 preset rhythms, intro's and fill-in's. It comes with original pedal and nice original bag! Also I've made very accuracy mods: trigger in for master clock, audio output for each drum and trigger output for 16, 8, 4, 1 and BD, all outputs works in the same time, so you can use it for five destinations. All this mods are very useful for integrating KR-55 with old cv/gate equipment or modern modulars."
"kit was handbuilt in Portland, OR by a really nice fellow. in a stunning wooden enclosure, beautiful artwork painted on 2 sides (see pictures)... monome is bus powered via built in USB cable! no AC adapter necessary! super bright mesmerizing blue LEDs."
"Comes with the latest OS (1.1.0) and a PDF version of the User Manual. Original Power Supply which has always worked perfectly."
Be sure to see The Fizmo Fix if you ever consider picking up a Fizmo. I forget if the rack version had an updated regulator. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.
"Kat takes a quick look at a new circuit design. This circuit uses a single 555 timer to generate an envelope which controls the brightness of an LED. The LED is then coupled with an LDR, allowing the envelope to control the amplitude and pitch of an audio oscillator.
Here's a link to the schematic:

In this particular implementation the frequency control is quite sensitive to impedance on the audio output, to get consistent pitch modulation we recommend using a buffer on the audio output."
