Modded Roland TR-606 Vintage Analogue Drum Machine SN 091900

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
"This unit has been modified (Similar to Kenton / Analogue Solution's Mods) to include:
Seperate outputs for each drum sound (Run each sound into a seperate channel on your mixer for perfect EQ & Recording or each sound into different effect units!)
1/4" input jack for remote On/Off (e.g. footpedal control - perfect for solo artists playing keyboards or guitars!)
Isolated On/Off switch (No more accidentally switching off the unit when fading the volume out!)

The TR-606 is a fantastic little drum machine that was sold along side the legendary TB-303. It was designed small, light and compact, which to me makes it The Choice for live performances over its big brothers the TR808 & TR909. The unit itself has the ability to be used for a Din Sync controller as well as having 2 CV/Gate triggers, making it a perfect tool for bringing out more in any analogue synth!"

Rare Ampersand Analog Quad LFO for Modular Synthesizer Systems

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
"Up for auction is a rare Ampersand Quad discrete LFO module.

Features:
4 LFOs with separate 1/4" outputs for square wave and switchable sine/triangle wave.
A master rate and amplitude control affects all 4 LFOs, and LFO 4 can be switched to be independent of the master controls. External control inputs for frequency and amplitude, with attenuation control.

I have used this unit with my ARP 2600 and all 4 LFOs work fine, and can go well into the audio range...

Dimensions: 12" w 8 1/4"d x 3 1/2""

Robert Moog on The Guardian

Bob Moog on synthesis:

"'I knew it was applicable to pop music but our first market was the experimental composers, and that's not what you'd call the basis for a big business,' Moog says now. 'Nobody believed there was any future in that sort of thing.'

Moog credits Wendy Carlos's 1968 album Switched on Bach with shattering the concept that synthesisers were only suitable for creating sound effects and avant-garde music. Tow years later the flamboyant Keith Emerson used a synthesiser on the first Emerson, Lake & Palmer LP, introducing the instrument to rock."
