MikroWave - sequencer / synthesizer for Android
Published on Oct 17, 2012 by 01101001011001110110
"Taking the standard example of playing C minor chords @ 120 BPM, this video of filtered pad sounds shows off the improved features of MikroWave after recent updates, including increased sample rate, broader filter range, drum compressor and a whole load of performance improvements by way of reducing both memory and CPU footprint.
You can get both the full and FREE version from Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.igorski.mikrowave.free"

Cool Parallella Kickstarter Updates
This is a follow up post in via cheater cheater:
"I just wanted to let you know that the Parallella kickstarter which I wrote to you about last month (http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/09/parallella-supercomputer-for-everyone.html) is going strong. The project has broken 50% of the required goal; with 10 days to go it just might work out. There have been a lot of updates, and they showed some DSP demos, which directly apply to performance in music applications:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone/posts?page=2
Demo #1: Using a Scalable Parallel 2D FFT for Image Enhancement
http://www.adapteva.com/white-papers/using-a-scalable-parallel-2d-fft-for-image-enhancement/
- FFT, that's reverb, equalizers and cabinet simulators for you! This demo uses the much more computationally intensive two-dimensional FFT for images.
Demo #2: Scalable Parallel Multiplication of Big Matrices
http://www.adapteva.com/white-papers/scalable-parallel-multiplication-of-big-matrices/
- matrix multiplication is a staple in many advanced DSP techniques. Among others, analog component modeling can be implemented with it (think Virtual Analog synths the kinds of FXPansion's Synth Squad/ D-CAM, Arturia, or the u-he Zebra/ACE/Diva)
Demo #3: Approaching Peak Theoretical Performance with Standard C
http://www.adapteva.com/white-papers/approaching-peak-theoretical-performance-with-standard-c/
- what this says is that, MHz for MHz, nothing can be faster than the Parallella. It's fairly amazing given that, when comparing clock speeds, the thing is about 5x faster than desktop CPUs.
There are also new pledge rewards and pledge levels. A lot of comments have been posted and the discussion is very lively: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone/comments
It looks like the project is on the verge of getting funded - but it'll need any bit of help - so if anyone reading this is interested in the project, consider backing it!"

via this auction
Update: See the comments of this post for more info on the EX-42. It's not a GX-1.
However: according to the list of Yamaha products on Wikipedia: "EX-42 (1970–1977, stage model, design origin of GX-1)"
"Yamaha Electone EX-42 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Organ Keyboard
with two (2) original Yamaha R-60B rotating tone cabinets (KILLS LESLIES!)
For your consideration is a Yamaha EX-42. This polyphonic analog synthesizer is one of the rarest, most complex, and most expensive synthesizers ever built. Yamaha's flagship synthesizer/organ precursor to the ultra rare Yamaha GX-1, this beautiful instrument packs all the sonic possibilities of a standard organ and polyphonic synthesizer into one gigantic and unique package. When released in 1970, the EX-42 had a $32,000 price tag. That's $182,000 today when adjusted for inflation, making it the second most expensive synth (in today's dollars) that Yamaha ever made. It is rumored that less than 200 were built. Don't miss your chance to get this extremely rare and incredible-sounding synthesizer for much, much less!
Even better, this listing includes the two extremely rare (2) Yamaha R-60B tone cabinets that originally came with this unit. You can see one Yamaha R-60B on the right side of the second picture and two in the third picture. The Yamaha R-60B kills any Leslie! It has three (3) vertically rotating speakers that are switchable on/off at the players option. The soundfields that this 200W tone cabinet creates are absolutely unreal.
This synth is in great condition. All the knobs and sliders that we have tested work perfectly, though we have not tested all of the functions on this synthesizer. Thus, it is sold as-is.
This auction also includes the synthesizer and bass pedals, but the matching bench is not included, as the owner prior to the previous owner wanted to keep it.
The features of this synthesizer are much too extensive to list here. There are a few videos on YouTube that fully detail all of the capabilities of the EX-42. Just search for "Yamaha EX-42" and prepare to be amazed. Make sure to look for the R-60B in action too!
This is a very large instrument - 45" high x 60" wide x 32" deep and nearly 500 lbs! - and can only be shipped via freight. The $590 shipping cost is just an estimate. Within the Continental U.S., transportation costs (freight or mover) will vary depending on proximity to Los Angeles, and typically takes more than one week to schedule and deliver. International shipments will be considerably more expensive and will take around two weeks to schedule and deliver..."

The Harvestman Nuclear Football
flickr by alexchechile
This one in via Alex who has it listed for sale on Muff's
Harvestman Nuclear FootballThe one and only (beside's Scott's personal case) Harvestman Nuclear Football. $1,400 (modules in the pic are not included). The utility panel at the bottom has mults, attenuators, dual ¼ to ⅛ converters for output, a latching gate output, and a trigger pushbutton. Also a very Harvestman-like quote in the middle (see the detail picture in my Flickr set below). Please give this beautiful case a good home more pictures here
Harvestman Hertz Donut - works perfectly- $370 shipped
Doepfer A-191 MIDI/ Sheppard Generator - Rare discontinued Doepfer module- fantastic for making Sheppard Tones, or for 16 channels of MIDI. I'll ship it with the Doepfer +5v adaptor if you need it. - $290 shipped
Plan B Model 28 Tap Clock - works perfectly - $290 shipped
Livewire Dual Bissell Generator - works perfectly, and is a great pair with Pressure Points - $170 shipped
I'm looking for US only, but could probably be flexible for the Nuclear Football. I'm open to local pickup as well if you're in NYC (or Boston depending on the date). Plenty of positive references in the Good Trader thread. Cheers,
-Alex"
