METASONIX R-53 Vacuum Tube Wave Shaper Ring Mod
"the r-53 is directly derived from our legendary tm-1 device. it uses a 12af6/bd6 remote-cutoff pentode and a 12av7 dual triode. waveshaping is provided by a vacuum-tube "pulser" circuit that spits irregular pulses onto the input waveform. they synchronize erratically with the input pitch (if a waveform with sharp transitions is used). combined with true vacuum-tube circuit distortion, this can provide a vast range of complex, aggressive distortion effects, utterly unique in the world. a basic ring-modulation function is also available in the unit--applying a carrier pitch from an external oscillator to the screen grid of the pentode, this allows making inharmonic sum-and-difference pitch sound effects, with a unique vacuum tube pentode sound.
power requirement: +-12v dc, 200 ma.
the metasonix r-series of vacuum-tube modules is intended for use in any "eurorack" standard modular synthesizer system. all r-series modules are 22hp (112mm) wide and fit in any doepfer(tm), analogue systems(tm), or other compatible cabinet. they are powered entirely from the cabinet's internal +-12v dc power supplies, using doepfer compatible 16-pin power connectors. their circuits protrude behind the panel less than 25mm (1 inch). all vacuum tubes are nos (new old stock) types from classic american and european manufacturers that are run very conservatively for long life, and are readily available from distributors. the tubes protrude from the panel for visibility and cooling, less than 38mm (1.5 inches), and should fit inside a doepfer a-100 suitcase cabinet lid or into a doepfer mini case. all audio inputs and outputs and cv inputs/outputs are 100% compatible with other synthesizer modules. plate voltage is provided by a tiny switching supply producing clean 48v regulated at low current, which is very safe and will not injure the user. potentiometers are top-quality alpha rk12l types, and 3.5mm phone jacks are special kobiconn vertical-mount types, much better quality than the cheap ones usually seen in euro modules. each r-module is fully protected against reverse supply voltage, overvoltage, undervoltage, or incorrect hookup to external equipment. as with all our products, the r series is totally handcrafted in northern california, usa."
RARE VINTAGE JSH DX-5 PRO-RHYTHM MINI SYNTH

via this auction
Also known as the Coron DS8, Asama Drum Sync, Storm Drum Sync, Grant PS-7 Percussion Synth, KMD Drum Exciter, Cortez D-2 Mini Synth, BIAS BS-2, and possibly more. See the Coron label below. Anyone know why there were so many branding for this? I think this holds the record.
via the listing: "The Mini Synth, when connected to my headphones, covered a massive range of synthesised sounds and this is an incredibly flexible unit for its mini size and I would, I guess, sound fabulous in the right hands and with the right input and amplification (I haven't got the means to really put it through its paces). Please feel free to ask as many questions as you wish - I am not familiar with synthesisers (I obtained this in a job-lot including vintage microphones and headphones)"
Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar SN 0291
"It's serial number is 0291: it has Kenton Midi installed and has latest version OS Eprom (OM2a)."
Dorkbot Sprockit Mini-Synth Seminar Chicago
"Matthew Heins presents a synth-building workshop using the Sprockit kit he designed!...
Matt says:
'We will be building complete Sprockits. This will be the circuit board only as the case is still in development. I plan on interspersing plenty of chit chat about how Sprockit works and will be totally open for questions about how to design and build your own synthesizer. This seminar is open to people of skill levels from novice upI’ve taught soldering before to people who’ve never touched a soldering iron, so please don’t be ashamed and come learn how to build electronics."
Key Sprockit Details:
- 4"x4" Circuit Board
- Totally Open-Source Hackable Hardware and Software Design
- Rockit Digital Synthesis Engine with 2 Detunable Oscillators
- 8 Physical Knobs (All Rockit Parameters Accessible Via MIDI)
- 4-Pole Digitally-Controlled Analog Low-Pass Filter with MIDI Accessible Envelope
- Amplitude Envelope with Physical Attack and Decay, MIDI Sustain and Release
- LFO with 3 destinations and 3 waveshapes (more accessible through MIDI)'"
