"This synth works well with minor issues, some missing switches covers and sometimes, the slider for bell tone (like envelope) make some noises, nothing mayor, it may be dirty inside, all keys work, sound is clear. This machine is great to do fat bass sounds as well to do some weird oscillating sounds, no midi or patch memory."
"4ms Pingable Envelope Generator being pinged by various things. Doepfer A-145 clocks 4ms RCD/SCM sending vrious gate/triggers to PEG, TTA Z8000, Dopefer A-143-1 & Makenoise Echophon. Z8000 sending CV to Doepfer A-156 Quantizer which is passing CV to Harvestman Piston Honda. Filters provided by Harvestman Polivoks VCF modulated by various LFOs and Envelopes. Also using an Intellijel uVCA to tie everything together."
"The subsonic kick may be inaudible on portable devices without headphones :-P
The SideMan is a drum machine from 1959 that fires valves/tubes to generate the tones, which are then passed trough a tube amp. The cigar box houses Doepfer MTC components and a direct line out. Interconnect is over DB37, fed into the SideMan from underneath. No drilling or irreversible mods were done to the SideMan, although I did tweak it a bit to get a longer decay from the kick bass.
A lot of thanks to Eric Noel, who gave his time, expertise and some of the Doepfer components to this project; and to Steve Craig (Midwest Music Menders), who patiently repaired the SideMan when I acquired it in "almost working" condition."

"Simple goof-off demo of a knobby solution for the DK-80 using BCR2000 while playing back a MIDI file. There are no effects on the DK-80; this is recorded straight in one pass with a faint loop in the background from the CD (Fade to Grey) :-) The DK80 is an 80's splittable/stackable analog polysynth with patch memory and MIDI. It has a very unique sound due to two 4-pole (24dB/octave) SSM filters (like Emu Emulator II, early Prophet 5, Fairlight CMI II, Korg Poly-6/Monopoly, PPG Wave 2.2/2.3, Kawai K3/SC240, Simmons SDS5 etc), four LFO's, and two 6-point EG's (normal ADSR is 4-point. . . this adds a couple more points for more complex/evolving sounds). Perhaps the DK80 is deservedly underrated for being a PITA to program, but with knobs a whole new world opens up."
"Here is the first preview image of the EMW-300 controller.
The final result was surprisingly good, we added a very usefull resource to the original project, the possibility of trigger the 16 voltages adjustments in sequence, resulting in a 16-step analog sequencer. I beleive that the EML crew must have thought about implementing something similar to the model 300 but they probably considered the complexity and the final price of the equipment at that time.
We will be updating our website to accept direct orders and it must be ready on early August."
Note the EMW-200 is under the EML-300 in the top pic.
