Drawing of the Eminent 310/Solina String Ensemble Factory in the 1970s
The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"The Eminent 310/Solina String Ensemble factory in the Netherlands during the seventies. Drawing printed on the back of the warranty certificate."
"If you call Eminent today and ask them about the 310 etc they will hang up the phone and say "go away with that Jarre Devils music..."
True or not? You be the judge.
How to make a nice TB-303 square on the Elektron analog Four
Published on Dec 11, 2012
"A quick how-to for making the transistor pulse just like a 303 square wave, I checked these on my oscilloscope and with these settings it looks (and sounds) exactly the same as the square wave on my 303. Of course the A4 is not just about emulating old synths, but it can be fun to do anyway, enjoy."

Be sure to see the seller's other items for more.
"The MiniNova 37-Mini-Key Compact Synthesizer by Novation has the same sound engine as the larger model, UltraNova. It includes 256 onboard sounds that you can tweak with five knobs, or totally warp with eight "animate" buttons. It has polyphony up to 18 voices with as many as five synth effects on each sound. MiniNova also has onboard VocalTune and classic vocoder effects, so you can recreate iconic vocal sounds from hip hop, urban and electronic music.
MiniNova has a powerful sound engine for a micro synth. In addition to its 256 onboard sounds, it has space to save 128 of your own sounds. You can quickly search for patches by selecting the style, or the type of sound. MiniNova has 14 conventional waveforms to choose from, 36 wavetables and 20 digital waveforms. Each of the 3 oscillators has density/detune, virtual sync, and an additional low-pass filter called "hardness." There are 14 filter types, 6 envelope generators, 3 LFOs and 20 modulation slots where you can link synth modules together. MiniNova can also add up to 5 effects to each sound; including distortion, reverb, chorus/phase, delay, compressor, EQ and Novation's unique gator effect.
MiniNova includes a gooseneck microphone, taking its vocal effects one step further. In addition to VocalTune and the 12-band vocoder, the mic input can be routed through the effects engine. The onboard 1/4" input can do the same with an instrument.."
