via the listing: " Got this from a friend nearly 10 years ago. He bought it new, played it for years, then put it in storage. I tried to play it immediately, the sound started around middle-c and descended slowly, nothing I did changed the sound that was coming out. So I unplugged it before it blew my speakers as the sound continued to get lower, and put it in storage, always intending to have it repaired / restored at some point. Now, I think it's best just to let it go to someone who can restore it / resell it or restore it for themselves."

Vermona Mono Lancet Monophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 07202

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

"True greatness comes from within! The Mono Lancet is a compact synthesizer with a big sound, with an uncomplicated user interface and lots of charm.
Oscillators

Two analogue oscillators ensure a solid sound foundation. Oscillator one creates triangle-, sawtooth- and square waves and can be set one octave lower than the second oscillator. The latter produces white noise instead of the triangle wave.
The pulse width can be modulated via the modulation wheel (MIDI) and/or an external control voltage source (see “Extension”). The glide generator has a legato mode or (alternatively) can remain permanently active.
Filter

The voltage controlled lowpass filter has a slope of 24db per octave. On high resonance settings it self-oscillates, producing a stable sine wave that can be played in a range of about 2 ½ octaves. Using MIDI the cutoff frequency can be controlled by velocity and/or aftertouch.
Amplifier

There’s a strong VCA inside the Mono Lancet that can be modulated by the ADSR or a fixed organ-like envelope. On demand it can additionally respond to velocity.
Modulation

The classical ADSR envelope generator can modulate the VCO- and VCF frequency and the VCA. The LFO offers rectangle and triangle as well as sample & hold and is a modulation source for VCF and VCO.
Extension

There’s a 25pin sub-D connector on the rear of the Mono Lancet. The optional “Mono Lancet Modular Dock” widens the potential of the synthesizer enormously through numerous in- and outputs for control voltages and audio signals. PWM and filter inputs are just two of these.

MIDI Interface

note on/off
Pitch Bender on/off (CC 84) - affects VCO pitch (+/- 4 tones)
Modulation Wheel on/off (CC 85) - affects pulse width of the VCOs
Aftertouch on/off (CC 86) - affects cutoff frequency
Velocity on/off (CC 87) - affects VCA
Velocity can additionally be set to cutoff frequency (CC 88)
Glide-Switch on/off (CC 89) - glide only works when playing legato
Legato on/off (CC 90) - envelope will not be retriggered when playing legato"

Serge Modular + Max/Msp + iPad Lemur + ES-3 / ES-5 vid #2

YouTube Published on Sep 2, 2012 by Phisynth

"The second in a series of experiments about using externals controllers with the Serge Modular...
This one also features Max/Msp, Expert Sleepers ES-3 + ES-5, Lemur for iPad and the Serge Modular.
Again, no musical claims here, but it looks like this combo opens up a whole new universe in terms of control and interaction between Digital and Analogue worlds !"

Interview: Laura Escudé plays live at Sonic Towers

YouTube Published on Sep 2, 2012 by sonicstate

"Laura Escudé is right at the sharp the edge of current music technology and controllerism, putting it to use on some of the largest stages - she's just finished up the UK leg of the Kanye West and Jay-Z Watch The Throne tour where she's been behind the scenes running Ableton Live for the music, backing tracks and live vocal effects that she designed into the production.

Being one of the first certified trainers for Ableton Live, she's known for inventive programming and integration of Live into some major touring shows. Doors have opened for her combination of skills as a talented violinist and hardcore programmer, working with Kanye West, Bon Ivor, Herbie Hancock and Garbage as recent and repeat clients.

Laura also release and produces under her own right, when she came to our new studios in Bath, she performed a couple of tunes for us live in between chatting to Gaz Williams about her work and technology.

Laura's latest solo project is ∆lluxe in which she embraces new electronic hip hop together with some full-on 80's fashion.
