RCA Theremin & Talking Machine
YouTube Published on May 22, 2012 by copperleaves
"The theremin in this video is the instrument that once belonged to Julius Goldberg, the partner and personal assistant of Russian inventor Leon Theremin. This is a 1929 RCA theremin that was customized by Goldberg in the early 1930's and provided with 'lightning bolt' volume and pitch antennas. In this video, I am using an ELECTRO-HARMONIX 'Talking Machine' on a fixed, open 'AH' sound, which lends to the tone a remarkable likeness to a human tenor.
The theremin has often been compared to an 'electric soprano' but used with the Talking Machine, it can also be an ELECTRIC TENOR or an ELECTRIC BARITONE!
The composition is the famous tenor aria, NESSUN DORMA, from the opera TURANDOT by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini."

via the listing: "Vintage Thomas Band Master Model 55 Serial 1086523 rhythm machine. It measures about 18½" x 12" x 8¼". We tested it briefly and it works. We dont remember if we pushed every single button , but we pushed at least 20 of them and they all work. The foot pedal works. The manual beat buttons work. The sound quality does seem thick and punchy(in our opinion) but not really that great. It sounds kind of 70's or 80's. The cabinet has some finish wear, scratches,etc..."

Jomox M Base 01 Analog Bass Drum Module

"The Jomox M Base 01 is an analog bass drum module with midi and memory. There are very many parameters for you to adjust, allowing you to acheive a wide spectrum of analog drum sounds with a focus on bass drums. The versatility of the unit allows from soft to very hard attacks, short envelopes or super long decays. There is also a midi syncable LFO. Many classic bass/kick drums like the 808 and 909 styles can be created and stored in memory.
The M Base is equipped with midi control of pitch allowing you to play it from a keyboard over a 3 octave range as a simple analog synthesizer! (try it through a fuzz pedal). There is also a trigger in jack for drum pads or external audio. The size and versatility of the unit will easily allow you integrate the unit into you studio or live setup. (use it as an expander for your digital drum machine or sampler and feel the results!) The M Base 01 is the precursor to the M Base 11 which adds a couple of features, but the two units are almost the same."
