"Here is a fully loaded Paia 4700 modular synth. Excellent condition, made very well. Sounds awesome. Comes with the rare keyboard too and 15 patch cables.
Includes 4 oscillators, 2 envelope generators, mixer, sequencer, reverb, modulation and more. A full system for a wide variety of sounds."

A clone of the 200 series Buchla 226 [Update via Chris Muir in the comments: "This is a 266 Source of Uncertainty clone. The 226 was a quad mixer."]. Way too much patching to describe completely. I was just having a go at trying out the various functions of the module. A more musical application of this device will be in order next.
Secondary effects include a low mix in of a delay and a variable panning.
Nine vco's, a Polivoks filter (Analog Craftsman), a Cyndustries QLPG, Sputnik VCS, Oakley Equinoxe and SSL Digital Delay are included in the signal chain.
The title is taken from the Solar CME happening at the time."

"having just returned from Trash_Audio synth meet 12 with a new Makenoise DPO and Toppobrillo Quantimator, i'm eager to dig into the modular. All the audio you hear is coming unmodified from the Dual Prismatic Oscillator.
apologies for the camera wiggle, sometimes you just have to rock out!"

"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..."

"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."
"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."
"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.)"
