Rare EMS Random Voltage Generator & Pitch To Voltage Converter

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

"This auction is for 2 vintage original EMS modules. Very rare units sold as accessoires to the Synthi AKS and VCS3 synthesizers but can be used with other (modular) synths and studio environments. Creative tools derived from the infamous Synthi 100 studio synthesizer. These 2 work well and have been gone over by a pro tech about a year ago. Super. What I like to mention is that the front panels have been filed off a few milimeters at the left and right ends. Probably to make them fit in better a rack. As you can see in the pictures this is not visible when rack mounted. The case is included."

"This auction is for a good condition Steiner Masters Touch. Use it as an interface to control your (modular) synthesizer or use the nice expressive filter for your audio. This is a rare vintage unit. Both tubes however are new and have not been used for hygienic reasons. It has recently been gone over by a pro tech. Works like it should. Put some expression in your music! :-)"

Syntecno TeeBee tb303 clone, 4x Midi-CV & Din-Sync converter

via this auction

See the seller's other items for more.

"Syntecno TeeBee black edition. This is a very flexible and versatile unit. First it's a TB-303 clone which it does VERY good (and under Midi control!) but then it also features 4 CV and Gate outputs so you can control all your pre-midi synthesizers. It can be setup to do Volt/octave (Roland, Moog, Arp, Sequential etc) but also Volt/Herz (Korg, Yamaha etc.), it also has several gate modes. Then it also converts midi clock to DinSync so you can synchronise your TR-808, TB-303, MC-202, TR-606 etc etc.."

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.
