Buchla Quad Sequential Voltage Source Model 251e

via It's Full of Stars where it is currently for sale.

Description via Buchla:
"Four 50 stage sequencers, each with programmable pulse and control voltage outputs. A separate editing section permits setting each parameter for a selected sequence; sequences can be edited while running and follow the edit stage when stopped.

Intervals may be entered for each stage, with variable note values from 1/32 to whole notes. Triplets and dotted notes are readily accommodated. Pulse durations may be set to fractions of the intervals.

Output voltages range from 0.0 to 9.9 volts, conveniently accommodating oscillators with a sensitivity of .1 volts per semi-tone.

Tempos may range from 10 bpm to 250 bpm.

Additional features include:

Inter-sequencer triggering
Variable start delay
Retrograde capability
Multiple nested loops
Master voltage-controlled clock

A 200eUSB card is necessary to download new firmware for this module.

With the help of a 206e or 225e Preset Manager, the parameters of the 251e can be stored and retrieved as part of a preset."

New Stand Alone Delptronics LDB-1 Analog Drum Machine

YouTube Published on Jul 25, 2012 by Delptronics

"The Delptronics LDB-1 "Little Drummer Boy" is a modern recreation of the classic analog drum machines of the 80's, like the Roland TR-606 and TR-808. Our goal was to recreate the warm sounds of the classics, using all analog circuitry -- not samples. The brain of the LDB-1 is a powerful digital microcontroller that triggers the analog drum sounds and provides the sequencer, programmability and connectivity features. Eight instruments: Bass, Low tom, high tom, snare drum, woodblock, hand clap, closed hi-hat, and open hi-hat. Easily interfaces with other instruments, synthesizers, DAWs, etc. through analog connections, MIDI, and DINsync. The LDB-1 has all of the features of a classic analog drum machine in a small, affordable package.

Another Ralph Dyck Synth Recovered

"Encouraged by the recovery of his Carson Graham synth, Ralph went in search of another synth he made around the same time for the UBC. Bob Pritchard of the UBC Music Dept. confirmed that the synth was still sitting offline in his office, and after a quick consultation with the school’s administration, it was decided to gift the synth back to its original creator! Ralph has been working on the synth for a few months now. Here’s a bit of Q&A about it, along with some pics and sound examples."

You'll find them on Pea Hicks' Roland MC-8 Micro-Composer blog here. Ralph Dyck is considered the godfather of the Roland MC-8. See the Ralph Dyck label below for previous posts.

The Moog 1125 Sample & Hold

Astronauta Pinguim has a post up on the Moog 1125 Sample & Hold. You'll find additional pics, some history on the module, and instructions on how to use it (captured in the bottom pic below).

"The 1125 Sample and Hold is a device that captures the voltage range of the synthesizer, creates a pattern and repeats it constantly. The waveform (sawtooth or random) of this pattern is controlled by a slider on the left side of the 1125 -the other two sliders are a glide and the scale controla. Two knobs in the center of the equipment, one for speed (rate) and other for the sample pattern are located above three on/off switches: one to record and the other two to start and stop the sample (a red light indicates when it is working).
Five switches on the right side complete the unit: one to control the extent of sampling, two on/off switches controls the outputs of the instrument, an on/off switch controls the trigger and another controls the size (short or long) of the gate."

"ARP 2500 and ARP 2600 improvisation
Nothing but analog synths.
i probably should have added some kind of compressor cause some of the sounds kinda jump out at you, but i wanted to keep it raw.. right??"

Thaat #1

Thaat #1 by Ashen Actuaries of Asgard
Track featuring the Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar pedal with synth & keyboards only.

via Ashen Actuaries of Asgard: "On the structured 'melody' sections of the tune I'm playing a Minimoog Voyager through the Ravish Sitar. On the improv parts and outro, I'm playing a Hohner D6 through the Ravish Sitar. Interesting results.

You can also hear Mellotron Mk. VI, ARP2600, Fender Rhodes, Hammond XK3c and Nord Electro 3 on this one."
