Mini Korg 700 SN 7078

"In very good condition for the age (nearly 40 years old!), with the usual signs of use (surface marks in places, mainly around the edges). Unfortunately, the original knobs for 'expand' and 'portamento' are no longer present, but have been replaced with a different type. Serial number: 7078. Tested and fully working. Ignore some of the item specifics above, it is an eBay glitch.

LFO - Yes

Vintage ElectroHarmonics Mini-Synthesizer Model EH400
"ElectroHarmonics Mini-Synthesizer model EH400! It's a mono synth with a 25 touch keys and once oscillator but very cool filter and some other feature that allow this synth to create very unique analog sounds and noises. This synth is probably most famous from being used in the 1981 China concerts by Jean-Michel Jarre who took it around the stage and let his audience play it live! Check out the last picture! It's a capture form one of those concerts..."

DPO + Maths + Noisering + QMMG (x3)
DPO + Maths + Noisering + QMMG (x3) from Pete Shambler on Vimeo.
Three takes of (basically) the same patch, played back simultaneously.
Make Noise DPO (VCO-A Lin FM of VCO-B, fixed index), controlled by Noisering outputs 1 and 2 (via Doepfer A-156 Dual Quantizer). Scaled versions of these voltages are also controlling the Rise, Fall and "Both" (timebase) values of three envelopes on two Maths modules, which are opening two LPG channels and two VCA channels on the QMMG (2x LPG --> VCA stereo arrangement), and are triggered by the Trig Outs of the A-156. Both LPGs are fed by the sine out of DPO VCO-B.
The Wogglebug's clock out is patched to the External Control input on the Noisering, and its Stepped output (through an attenuator) is controlling the A-156's Transpose amount.
The three takes were recorded and mixed together between 6 and 7am-- lighting courtesy of the rising Chicago sun.
