Health Club Switcheroo Analogue Synthesizer

"Rare chance to buy a Switcheroo synthesizer. Only a few of these were ever made by Health Club.

The Switcheroo features:
2 Voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), scaled to 1v/Octave
1 Voltage-controlled filter (self-oscillating and 1v/Octave too)
1 Attack-Release envelope generator
1 Low-frequency oscillator (LFO) w
1 Voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)
1 Envelope follower (that can trigger the envelope)
1 MIXER
1 White Noise generator
CV and gate in. (NO MIDI IN)

Based on Ray Wilson's MFOS design this is quite a one-off synth. Of all the synths I have owned it reminds me most of a VCS3 in terms of the rawness of the sound and the endless possibilities to cross modulate everything. You can also do some unusual things such as plug in a guitar, keyboard, drum machine into the envelope follower and it can then modulate the VCA, oscillators, and filter! The Envelope can be triggered by a gate signal from a sequencer or keyboard or it can be triggered by the LFO or it can self loop (like the VCS3 trapezoid). The oscillators can be synced together and modulated by just about anything and everything. All in all a great synth for experimentation and research into the farthest corners of the sonic sphere (OK a bit OTT but you know what I mean). Includes 12vAC adapter."

"Practical Electronics mini sonic semi modular analog synth. This is being sold as spares or repair. It is making sounds, the vco's are changing pitch using the stylus type keyboard (no stylus - just using the wire) but as I can only find one patch cable I am unable to fully test it.

The synth has 2 VCO'S, 2 EG'S, 2 VCA'S, Voltage controlled filter with resonance, noise generator and ring mod (yes you can sound like a dalek)
I should have photocopies of the magazine articles used to construct the synth somewhere and will include them if I can find them, it's readily available one the net if not."

- video at the auction & previously posted here. via the seller in the listing: "The Mute Synth is a hand held touch controlled synthesizer originally commissioned by Mute Records for the Mute Short Circuit weekend at the Roundhouse, London in May 2011. http://mute.com/mute/the-mute-synth

This is one of 3 heavily modified versions built by myself with additional features and controls, the first was built as a commission for Mute Records founder Daniel Miller (hence the Leatherette), this one which I am selling and the 3rd which I am keeping for myself. Daniel asked me to build him one after seeing an earlier modified version I built here.

The Mute Synth features 2 oscillators, feedback and a pulser / sequencer controlled by touch panels and tilt switches, in this modified version all the touch panels are wired to control knobs and switches for stable tuning and accurate control and housed in a wooden case, the front and rear panels are covered in black leatherette. Added to each of the oscillators and feedback is an LFO (3 in total) for modulation with rate, wave shape and depth controls.

Also added is a voltage controlled (CV input via a 1/4 jack socket on the rear panel) low / band pass filter with resonance and cut off knobs, filter self oscillates at full resonance.

The Mute Synth itself is powered by a coin cell and additional circuitry powered from 9v PP3 battery, compartment in rear panel.

This one is identical to the one built for Daniel Miller except for the different style knobs and weathering patina on the Mute synth. Pictures of Daniel's mod and control diagram can be viewed on my Facebook page or on Flickr"
