Vince Clarke 1984 with Fairlight Sampler (Audio)

YouTube Uploaded by Bonnline on Mar 17, 2012

"Very rare tape recording of Vince using the Fairlight Computer back in 1984.
This is an audio recording that was done for Electronic Soundmaker and Computer Music magazine. I found the original magazine and tape in my loft. I thought you'd like to here it so I've converted it into a digital format. Now go make a cup of tea or get a beer, sit back and enjoy this blast from the past."

4ms Atoner_building the Eurorack module

YouTube Uploaded by DJjondent on Mar 17, 2012

"4MS Atoner Eurorack module
Construction (from kit) Build video
Haven't seen any videos from 4MS re building their kits.
So why not do one myself. hope this helps others get into building
their modules from the ground up.
Its a great way to learn the basics of Analog Systhesis.

1. Resistors 1st.
2. Resistor arrays then IC sockets, header pins etc.
3. caps, diodes and trimpots. (Careful with orientation)
4. Mount jacks to faceplate,,, then place pots on PCB to orientate with
faceplate. (dont solder to pcb until you have attached the pots firmly to
faceplate). Once you solder its difficult to detach the faceplate from PCB
should you wish to trouble shoot your soldering in the future.
5. make sure you ground the jacks etc to the PCB (I forgot to do this at first.. doh!)
6. Insert ICs into their sockets. ... watch orientation.
7. your done!

Many thanks to Matt from Rhythm Active for supplying the Atoner.

WMD Acoustic Trauma Analog Distortion Pedal

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The WMD Acoustic Trauma is an all analog distortion unit that is capable of massive sounds, all the while retaining an unmatched clarity of tone and sound.

This is a two preamp distortion box, with some complexity, and is perfect for sonic experimenters. The two preamps are Hot and Cool, and as their names imply, one is low to medium gain with nice clean up and the other is massive and crunchy. There is also a blend knob for further tone shaping. The EQ has three bands: Freq controls frequency adjustment from 40hz to 15khz; the Q controls sharpness and narrowness of the center frequency; the Gain controls amount of signal going to the EQ band. The Noise Gate will act according to the guitar signal, Noise Reduction controls level of noise attenuation when gate is not open, and the LED indicates how open the gate is. There is also an adjustable trim pot that allows you to tweak the speed of the gate. The WMD Acoustic Trauma comes with its own 18v power supply. This is a completely unique and massively tweakable distortion box. The sound coming out of it are only limited by your imagination.
WMD Acoustic Trauma

This all analog distortion box gives you two blendable channels, and incredible control over the EQ, and a noise gate. This pedal was a year in the making from the mad scientists at WMD, and gives you unparalleled and massive sounding distortion as well as rich organic overdrive tones.
WMD Acoustic Trauma Features:

True Bypass
18vdc power supply included
Two Separate, but blendable preamps: Hot and Cool
Three Band EQ with separate Gain, Q, and Freq controls
Noise Gate with adjustable threshold, noise reduction
Output volume controls level of output to amplifier; levels can exceed 10 Vpp, so beware of overdriving your equipment"
