Moog Satellite Model 5330 SN 2190456

via this auction

"Up for auction is an extremely rare vintage analog Moog Satellite synthesizer model 5330 serial number 2190456. The synth is in overall excellent condition, considering it's age. Everything works well with the exception of a few keys, which work inconsistently and probably just need the have the contacts cleaned. I would recommend a minor tune-up for this synth before using it in the studio or your next gig. It will ship in the case (pictured), which I believe is the original case, and I will also include the original manual with this synthesizer."

HIGHSAGE - SPIN! - Live Elektron Punishment (Aug 4 2012 San Diego)

"Full steam ahead live performance on the Elektron Machinedrum and Octatrack with a pissed off 303, Boss pedals and fx. All hardware recorded straight to tape off the mixer.
This set was performed at SPIN nightclub in San Diego on Aug 4th 2012 in front of a few hundred pure techno heads and acid fanatics. A small team of experts you might say. Elements of free-style pattern building, 303 tweaking, and energy management via delays, reverb, fx and heavy LFO's. Lights off, heads down, dance!

Piston Honda Sketchbook Vol.1

"The Piston Honda is a digital wavetable oscillator designed by Scott Jaeger (The Harvestman) with 2-dimensional waveform morphing.
Two ROMs are onboard, each containing 256 waveforms in 16 banks. Waves may be smoothly
morphed or violently jumped in two dimensions.

Given that this is one of my favorite oscillators in my system I thought I would start conducting some sonic experiments to explore this modules capabilities, quirks and character.

This is a collection of sonic sketches / patches from the mind of VoltageCtrlR were recorded at Akashic Mountain Studios in AZ.

released 06 May 2012
All compositions were recorded live in one take featuring VoltageCtrlR tweaking the dials and controls.
Mixed and mastered by Shiro Fujioka at Akashic Mountain Studios.

Practical Electronics String Ensemble

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"These were sold in kit for in 1978 in the Practical electronics magazine. Boards were made by CLEF electronics who made various kit synths

Being sold as a restoration project as there are some parts missing and it does not function correctly. From what i can see the only parts missing are the 2 wooden end pieces that fill the gaps at the ends of the keys, a couple of slider caps, slider shaft missing, 1 x i.c on the chorus board is corroded and pins broke when i tried to remove from the socket. Other than that it looks complete

The mains cable wants replacing as it has got very worn, for safety this must be changed. I have powered on and the power light comes on, connected to an amp and the keys trigger some sounds but all a bit hit and miss on triggering. This will be down to key contacts being dirty i think.

nice little project as i am sure all of the components are standard and easily available now"
