"Here's a track that I just did featuring the macbeth micromac prototype that went with me to NAMM, the Photon synthesizer proto and the final prototype of the final micromac that hits production shortly. The main sequence is the the final micromac- it's on the left with delay, the NAMM one is bang in the middle- and the small Photon is on the right giving a resonant buzz!"

"Todays photo shows a typical setup of how the micromac will work. I also gives an idea of (3U Eurorack Module) the depth of the unit. The 50W PSU shown connected here will be supplied with the desktop unit!"

ETI Maplin 5600 modular synth boards

via this auction

"Reading from the boards they are:
Power Supply (issue 3 BB40T) – built, but missing a power transistor (or IC regulator)
1979 Keyboard Controller (issue 5 BY88V) – built, appears complete.
Sample and Noise (issue 4 BY90X) – built, missing IC’s (and other parts).
2 x Oscillator (issue 2 BB38R) – built, both look complete but for 1 (the same) IC on both boards.
2 x Preset MTG PCB (issue 1 BY87) - each has 7 preset pots on – used for oscillator octaves..?
Transient Retrigger (issue 1 BY81C) – some components, incomplete.
MES Output Board (mod 1 BB47B) – Bare board.
Transient [Envelope Gen] (mod 2 BB43W) – Bare board.
Transient 2 [Envelope Gen] (issue 1 BB45Y) – Bare board.
VCF (issue 3 BB65V) – Bare board.
VCA Mk 2 (issue 1 BB44X) – Bare board.
Interface PCB (issue 2 BY86T) – Bare board.

Also included are 9 aluminium mounting brackets (drilled to take pots, but I’m unsure which boards they are for)."

Modified Casio HT-700 with Drum Pitch and Moog Slayer Filter Mod

via this auction

"modified Casio HT-700 Synthesizer with Moog Slayer filter mods and Drum Pitch mods. The filter mod is MUCH better than the one done on the wimpy Poly 800, and the drum pitch is insane! The filter mod allows you to adjust Cutoff and Resonance in REAL time, and the VCA is analog."

Bridge Of Thighs

"Take three Q106 triangle oscillators(at 32', 16', and 8'). Mix and run through an STG Wavefolder, then into an STG Post-Lawsuit Lowpass Filter. Send the filter output to an Oakley Deep Equinoxe Phaser. Take the output of that and add a smidgen of delay. And that's it.

Oh, it also helps to have three channels of sequencing. The master clock is a Q960. Running at half speed from that is a Voltage Mini-Store. And at 1/8 speed is a Q119. Mix all three sequencer outputs, and you have the pitch CV. The Deep Equinoxe has its modulation output driven by an SSL Tap Tempo LFO with an upward sawtooth rather than its onboard LFO.

As always, the shakey, out of focus camera work is my bête noire. Sorry about that!"
