"This amazing piece of gear is a powerful effects processor, dual-multi-filter, Frequency Modulator, analog tube preamp, ASDR envelope generator, and all-aroung sound-mangler/funkifier."

Mutable Instruments Dasweep

"Weird. This sound was produced using a digital synthesis technique not available in any synth or module on the market."

"NAMM 2012 / 11) William Matthewson alias WMD showed off his pre serial model a soon to be made Geiger Counter Pro. It should be black and yellow even if I had to say that I prefer the raw aluminium, but I guess this is not his thing."

Circuitbenders KAWAI R50 / R50e PATCHBAY Mod

via Circuitbenders
"MODS INCLUDE:

20 way main patchbay: More information and details of our patchbay mods can be found HERE. The R50 and R50e sound dirty to say the least and this is reflected in the character of the effects produced by the patchbay connections. The effect are not so much punchy as disgustingly sordid and grimy. If you wanted a drum machine for dirty warm midrange insanity and distorted bent noise then the R50 or R50e are ideal candidates for the job..."

PITCH MOD: £35
"This mod adds a pitch knob that controls the sample playback speed, and therefore the pitch of every drum sound simultaneously. It can sweep from punchy clicks and blips at the top, to horribly granular crunchy noise at the bottom as the sounds disappear under a wall of aliasing noise. The pitch knob can be used alongside the patchbay effects for some seriously messed up percussion sounds."

Squidfanny - 'Rhythm Modulator' Alesis HR-16 Drum Machine (Jan 2012)

squidfanny on eBay

"RHYTHM MODULATOR Techno Groove Acid machine.... Built around an Alesis HR-16 Drum Machine, which has been retro-fitted with an integrated Step Sequencer, with Pitch Mods, Killer Glitch and (Slightly Dodgy) Custom ROMs with 'nuff Old Skool Beats and Bass.

Sequencer is synced to the beat of the machine and is fully patchable, for programing complex tempo synced Glitches, beat swapping & effects.
Program the sequencer to twist and modulate the sample pitch, thus adding groove and expression to loops and rhythms....All tempo synced and with realtime modulation knobs and Decay control. Cool, eh?

See later part of vid for more in-depth look at the sequencer mod.

This machine contains the original Alesis 'electronic' ROMS and also my own (Slightly dodgy) custom Rom. It still has a few bugs, mainly quiet 'clicks' at the end of the samples when pitching down. Also some noise generated from the compression process, but this IS an ongoing project...

Thanks to EX-FADE and also BURNKIT2600 for assistance with this project."

Yamaha MU90r - 'Untitled Track' - by Andy Barrow

YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Jan 26, 2012

"Hi,

This is my beloved Yamaha MU90r Rack Mount Synthesizer - known as a Tone Generator. It features quite a lot of features and sound for such a slim unit.

In essence it is 2 x16 MIDI Synths in one box and features the standard MIDI Sounds and the Yamaha XG MIDI Sounds. Most of the parameters can be edited - yes by the menu options and also has 2 A/D inputs and four Outputs at the back end so you can steer your Drum Kit elsewhere on the Mixing Console. It is a nice sounding synth even now, although some of the sounds may need tweaking, the performance setting is quite powerful offering 4 sounds layered as one patch...Nice.

Hope you enjoy

Andy"
