Monophonic After-touch Key Pressure Sensor Kit For Pratt-Read Keyboards

SCI Pro-One Aftertouch

YouTube Uploaded by FeedingTimer on Mar 10, 2012

via this auction
"You are looking at a monophonic After-Touch Key Pressure Sensor Kit designed for install into generic Pratt-Read keyboard actions used in vintage analog keyboard music synthesizers produced by manufactures such as ARP, OBERHEIM, MOOG and SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS. This product is designed to replace the Modulation Wheel function. You won't need or want a modulation wheel once you've tried this product! Available in standard 37 key action. 49 and 61 key actions available for an additional $40 and $80 dollars respectively...

Center underneath the front of the keyboard as shown in the photos, peel and stick into place. Replace the 3 Modulation Wheel electrical connections with the 3 AfterTouch Sensor connections. Dry fit it first a couple times. You will likely need to carefully adjust the metal tabs to even out key actuation. Generally the metal tabs of the black keys may need to be lowered for even key-key actuation results. See key actuation photos. All Pratt-Read Keyboard applications may not be the same, there may be some mechanical adjustments required for your specific installation. Keyboard electrical connections may also vary from synthesizer to synthesizer so you may have to adjust for that as well. Please refer to the schematic and photos to determine suitability for your specific application!"

Rare WEM HAND-FULL


via this auction

"This is an Ultra Rare Synth Model From WEM / Watkins electric Music Limited The serial No. is 00036 and I've not been able to ascertain how many where ever made. There is hardly mention of them on the internet but for a clip from an old Brochure. And the Effect makes an appearance on the cover artwork of Pink Floyds Ummagumma Album link

There is an Adjustable Strap which holds the box n your hand your fingers then have control of the 4 buttons on the top which Generate four Very Deep Sub Bass tones Combining the Buttons in different Orders Produces Variations of notes. Next there is the BASS Dial which controls the Volume of these tones The RAVE dial acts both as the On/Off Switch and Over all Volume for the rest of the Effects

PERCUSSION
These four Buttons each emit a short Mid range tone Something like and 808 Conga Sound only sharper

FREAKOUT
1 hi pitch Oscillation / 2 White Noise / 3 Long siren That descends and ascends on removal / 4 Shorter Siren Like Sound

PSYCHEDELIA
1 hi piercing Sound / 2 sounds Like a bee / 3 Hi Mid Oscillation / 4 Another Variation on Oscillation pressing various buttons together or holding one down whilst you play others produces variations of effects and Analog Sound to my ears it's not that removed from something you'd expect of Arp Synths of that Era lots of Sharp sounds

Inside the Box each Button is attached to it's own very Dense Circuit board each button is it's own tone generator, there is allot of Circuit inside!

When i got this not all the Buttons where working and i soldered a few wires that had come loose and gave it a good spray of circuit Cleaner. I also replaced the output Cable as the old one had deteriorated. The New Cable has a female 1/4 Jack on it so you can extend the reach of the box. I did not do anything else to it apart from installing fresh batteries.

The Wem Hand-full is powered by an old style A136 9.0V Alkaline battery One of which i've placed in the photo so you have an idea. These are available from this supplier http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk It is quite Possible that you could wire in the adapter for a modern 9v Battery i did not do this as i wanted to keep the box as untouched as possible There is one batteries inside the machine now but it's running low!"

New From Hinton Instruments - The ModMix & GH1


via Hinton Instruments

"ModMix is an 18HP Euro synthesizer compatible module comprising two 4:1 audio/CV mixers, two linear multipliers (balanced modulators) with AC/DC coupling and a white and pink noise source. Sum and difference outputs are also available. Consider it like a Minimoog centre mixer with a ring modulator, then doubled. ModMix may be used anywhere to expand the number of audio or modulation inputs on any module. You can never have enough ModMixes…"

Shipping now, direct sales only: £295 (+VAT in EU).

The GH1 Precision Amplifier is a microphone/line amplifier in Eurocard module format. Developed and refined for Graham Hinton’s own studio and live recordings the transformerless amplifier is of the highest specification with many features for the professional user where there is only one take and downtime is not an option. Up to fourteen 6HP standard modules will fit in a 3U Eurocard rack with rear mounted PSU and multiway connectors. Non-standard phantom voltages may be provided, including T-Power. Each module has two independent line drivers intended for recording and monitoring. Pairs of modules may be used for M/S decoding or encoding, fixed or switched, and in this mode one output preserves the input, enabling M/S recording and L/R stereo image monitoring.

Other features include soft phantom switching, dual input impedance and our CLEAR led bargraph display. The GH1 is built like professional audio used to be, not like “prosumer” audio is now. Maintenance has been carefully considered and all ICs are socketed and modules may be hot swapped live in the unlikely event of failing during a recording.

The extended 10HP module is a customised version for integrating into synthesizer systems with the meter voltage brought out as a control voltage.

Prices are from £300 per module plus enclosure, PSU, connectors and wiring. E.g. a 12 channel system would be about £4500 (+VAT in EU) depending on connectors or <£400 per channel. Configured to order, 4-6 weeks delivery."
