"For sale is the rare, bizarre, and surprisingly versatile METASONIX TM-6 Vacuum-tube Multimode Filter. I've owned this unit since 2006 and it is in pristine condition, as it was lovingly used in a very clean studio. Included is an AC power adaptor.

I've used a lot of filters over the years, but I can honestly say the TM-6 is the most unique one I've ever owned. On an 808 kick, the vacuum tube gives a really nice warmth that doesn't break up the sound unless you want it to, while the filter can be used quite surgically if need be -- I often used it to bring out the chest-smashing part of upper-lows on a kick drum.

The TM-6 works great with samples, synths, guitars, and whatever you throw at it. The filter resonance can be incredibly intense, like a wild scream or a weird extra layer, depending on taste. Using the TM-6 with CVs really opens up the possibilities as well, and I had great success with tuning the resonance along with basslines for wall-of-sound type textures."

"For auction is the very rare, bizarre, and unique METASONIX TM-1 Waveshaper / Ringmodulator. I have been the only owner of this unit since 2004, and it is in pristine condition as it was only used it in the studio. Included is an AC power adaptor.

This is one of those pieces of gear that never fails to surprise and/or weird-out anyone that uses it. Paired with a feedback loop and a modest modular synthesizer, you can pretty much make a noise album with just those pieces (I mean that in the best way possible). It's also really fun to use the Ringmod as an additional oscillator of sorts... it has a nice death ray quality to it that sounds amazing with simple, single oscillator leads and trebly, icy guitar stuff."

EMS SYNTHI Vids by NoiseSwarm

Searching for the Sweet Spot

"EMS Synthi A gets sequenced @1 volt per octave from the Doepfer MAQ 16/3 without the use of any special interface or cable, (the hi level inputs, on the synthi, alter the pitch spread enough to compensate for the uneven voltage ratio)"

"Doepfer MAQ 16/3 sequencer sends control voltage to the EMS AKS while the KS keyboard sequence compounds those voltages as the synthi's joystick alters the frequencies further"

"EMS Synthi AKS gets controled voltage from the DOEPFER MAQ 16/3 sequencer at the same time the DOPE MAQ sends midi out to the Kurzweil K2500RS for drums & bass....but the synthi's joy stick has the last word"
