"This is a used WMD Gamma Wave Source eurorack synth module. The module works fine. I've only had it a couple of months in a smoke-free, dust free studio environment. I am selling it because I need the money. My loss, your gain. Information about this module (from the WMD website):

The WMD Gamma Wave Source is a dual digital wavetable VCO that can create millions of timbres using onboard digital "effects".

The Controls
1V/Oct - Pitch input, used with standard 1 Volt per Octave keyboards and MIDI-CV converters. 0-5 volt input.

Pitch 1 & 2 - Controls the relative pitch per channel.

WT 1 & 2 Select - Select the desired wave table from the chart. 256 are available, each producing a different sound. Click for the table chart.

Out 1 & 2- Oscilator section output, each puts out +-2.5V/ 5Vpp signal.

The Effects Section
The GWS has four effects pipelines. Two for each oscilator. The Routing table selects how the oscillators interact with the effects pipelines.

FX Select Knob - Pushing this knob in will select the column that the knob is adjusting. Turning it will adjust the LEDs in the select column and will alter the Routing or Effects selection.

FX Para 1 & 2 - These knobs control the FX parameter for the oscillator section. Each effect has a specific parameter that is controlled by this knob. Adujust to taste.

Para CV & Attenuation Knob - This is a CV input for modulating and controlling the effects on the oscillator. Press the WaveTable Select knob to activate CV control per oscillator section. The LED will light when CV control is active. The FX Para knob will adjust the center or edges of the CV control depending on the selected effect.

Effects Table - These are the available effects, they are all created mathematically using 8 bit processing. The result is generally lo-fi and edgy, but smooth fat sounds are also possible.

LPF - Digital low pass filter, mellows out tone
HPF - Digital high pass filter, removes lows for brighter tone
Sharpen - Similar to HPF, but more aggressive
Bit Depth - Reduces vertical fidelity of signal
Bit Flip - Collapses signal in on itself, adds harmonics
Sample Rate - Reduces horizontal fidelity of signal
Sample Kill - Kills samples at a rate set by Para knob.
Sample Polarity - Inverts the signal at a rate set by Para knob
A+B - Adds the OSC1 and OSC2 wave tables and outputs
A-B - Subtracts the OSC1 and OSC2 wave tables and outputs

"Pussy Riot [link to official site] is a Russian feminist punk-rock collective that stages politically provocative impromptu performances in Moscow on Russia's current political life.

In March 2012, during an improvised and unauthorized concert in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, three women from the band were arrested and charged with 'hooliganism' and their trial began in late July. The band members have gained sympathy both within Russia and internationally due to allegations of harsh treatment while in custody and a risk of a possible seven-year jail sentence, and have also been criticized in Russia for offending the feelings of religious people. Alexei Nikiforov, a federal prosecutor, has demanded prison for the trio because they 'abused God'. Pussy Riot's lawyers said that the circumstances of the case have revived the Soviet-era tradition of the show trial.[1][2]"

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.

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..."
