MOOG TAURUS SN 1217

via this auction
"This amazing piece of equipment was assembled on April 25th, 1975, which was within the first few months that Moog began producing them! The serial number is T1217. If I'm not mistaken, the first Taurus ever produced was given serial number T1001. That's vintage! All sliders, pedals, contacts, and five of the seven push buttons are 100% original! Aside from a couple of screws that have been replaced over the years, the only non-original parts of this synth are the push-button relay switches for both the "Taurus" and "Tuba" presets, which were just recently replaced. I can include the original, defective ones, if you so desire. I don't think you'll ever see a Taurus this old that is in this fantastic of condition, unless of course, you're in a museum! Sure there are a few surface marks here and there, but this thing is over 37 years old and built like a tank! No playability issues whatsoever. I recently had this Taurus looked over, cleaned, and serviced by Dean over at 5-Star Engineering in Mesa, AZ. Dean once worked on one of Geddy's Taurus' back in the 70's while working for Wonderland Music in Michigan, so you know this Taurus was in good hands! I have owned this Taurus since 1998 and while I used it occasionally for a RUSH tribute band I was in for a short time, most of its life has been spent in its case on the floor in my bedroom closet..."

YouTube Published on Apr 19, 2012 by JustNickMusic
"As much an instrument as an effect, this box can do amazing things with LFO modulation of amplitude or of a bandpass filter. Wonderful conventional tremolos, super-intense chops and resonances. Particularly magical in its interaction with a cranked amp."
via this auction
"The Gristleizer is an analog synthesizer effect unit for use with all types of instruments and signals. The versatile LFO can modulate signals, and with the other controls can offer an incredible variety of sonic possibilities. From filter effects in VCF mode to unique tremolo and ring modulation like sounds in VCA mode that range from subtle to unrecognizable. The Gristleizer is the legendary effect used extensively in the music of Throbbing Gristle by electronic music visionary, Chris Carter who adapted the circuit from a design by Roy Gwinn and built them for Throbbing Gristle."
FEATURES
LFO WAVEFORM SELECT: 4 Waveforms to modulate your signal in VCA or VCF mode
FREQ: Controls the frequency of the LFO from .25Hz (1 cycle in 4 seconds) to 100Hz
DEPTH: Controls the level of the LFO modulation applied to the signal
BIAS: Controls the intensity and grit of the modulation on your signal in VCA mode an in VCF mode, shifts the center frequency of the band pass filter
LEVEL: Controls the output level of the effect, capable of line level signals
LED: Visually indicates the frequency of the LFO
MODE FOOTSWITCH: Selects either VCA or VCF mode for amplitude modulation in VCA, or filter modulation in VCF mode
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH: Turns the effect on and off
INPUT: Accepts low level (instrument) to line level signals for greater flexibility
OUTPUT: Drives low lovel to line level inputs depending on level control"

Eric Corson Talks Bass Pedals
YouTube Uploaded by trentmoorman on Aug 15, 2007
"Bassist from the Long Winters, Eric Corson, talks bass pedals. Specifically, the Crumar CPB-2. He references John Vanderslice's drummer and the inevitable Geddy Lee."
via this auction
"Up for sale/auction is a rare, vintage analog bass pedal synthesizer, the CPB-2, made in Italy in the early 1980's. The label on its side says, "Manufactured for Music Technology, Inc. by Elettronica", and was built in a joint venture by Italian synthesizer manufacturer, Crumar and it is very much like a Moog Taurus - only much cheaper. I picked this up last year when I joined a new band, but other then sampling a few sounds this has sat unused and thus needs to go. This synth is in good but not perfect working order. The controller pots are all a bit on the scratchy side and if you're looking for an analog synth you can change sounds on the fly with, you might have to clean or replace a couple pots (most the 'tune' one is the scratchiest.) Everything else works mint and this puppy sounds very FAT when in doubled mode (plus it's got that cool resonance only an analog synth has.)"

Eko Synth P15 vintage Italian analogue synthesizer demo
Eko Synth P15 vintage Italian analogue synthesizer demo (no talking), HD
YouTube Uploaded by RobsSynths on Jan 10, 2012
"Complete and in depth video demonstration to what this synthesizer can do.
First I show you the presets,
LFO section (1:15),
VCF (4:14
VCA (6:29).
I then take you through some sounds it makes (7:19) and then with an added delay effect (12:28).
Built 1979
Uses basic electrical components. No Chips. Proper analogue.
It has two basic envelopes - one for VCF and one for VCA.
One LFO which can modulate VCO, VCF and VCA. It can go very fast.
Filter is really nice and fat and can self oscillate.
Has a choice of wave shapes using the presets but then you can change the rest of the sound yourself.
Intro music made just from this synth.

YouTube Published on Apr 29, 2012 by RobsSynths
"Here is an in-depth look at one of my new favourite synthesizers.
I look at the oscillators, filter and LFO then play with the sounds.
Its a dual oscillator real analogue monosynth and its very fat when it wants to be.
Don't expect any musical masterpiece in this video. I am simply demonstrating the sound and feel of it
No talking and no guides. You can see whats going on clearly.
Recorded in high quality but please excuse the harmonics when the resonance goes too high.Its very powerful on this synth and the sound card didnt like it.
If you like this kind of thing look at my other videos.
Hope this helps

Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine Videos
Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine / DB9 Bass synthesizer + Novation Drumstation HQ (no talking)
Uploaded by RobsSynths on Jan 25, 2012
"Here is a demonstration of the Control Synthesis Deep Bass 9.
I have created some very quick tracks to demonstrate the sound.
It can get close TB303 sound but its better for deep punchy bass lines.
Its very deep and pure analogue.
Its so simple but effective.
I have a Novation DrumStation V2 in the background.
I know this is no masterpiece but hopefully its enough to give you a better idea of this nice sound module.
This is a high quality recording with no effects or EQ

Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine DB9 analogue synth + ableton and glide (no talking)
YouTube Uploaded by RobsSynths on Jan 25, 2012
"This is an overview of this great bass synth. It can come close to the TB-303 (arguably) but as a bass synthesizer its sound is big and punchy.
You can create some very low end rumble with this
This demonstration goes through all the controls and also some ways to control with a sequencer or controller.
