RMS No.7 - A Simple Sequence with added S&H and Filter Modulation
RMS No.7 - A Simple Sequence with added S&H and Filter Modulation from Random Modular Snippets on Vimeo.
"Featuring:- ALM - Pamela's Workout, Roland SH-101, Roland TR-626, Simmons SDS-8 and various Doepfer modules.
This is a simple sequence courtesy of the SH-101 with the Simmons SDS-8 being triggered by the Roland TR-626, and various S&H and Gates being triggered by the ALM Pamela's Workout."
ARP Odyssey 2813 Synthesizer MKI MINT + CV modded

"unit was serviced and cleaned recently. all sliders function perfectly. keyboard was entirely rebuilt. unit has been modded for CV, GATE and TRIG in (the MKI did not have CV control). It was also modded for VCF in. That is a really cool feature that lets you sync the filter to whatever you want. the filter on the MKI is really harsh. i love it. it sounds nothing like a MKII or MKII..."

WALDORF PULSE

via this auction
"The Waldorf Pulse is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with three oscillators and an arpeggiator. Its 100 patch programs are divided into 59 presets, 40 user sounds and one random sound. In addition to some standard modulations, four freely routable modulation units with selectable source, amount and destination give almost unlimited possibilities for analog bass and lead synth sounds.
There are up to 16 modulation sources, 4 routable modulation units with adjustable source, amount and destination parameters, 6 knobs and 4 buttons for convenient editing. This and a lot more puts the Waldorf Pulse a class of its own."

Custom Oberheim "One Voice" Analog Modular Desktop
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This auction is for an Oberheim "One Voice" custom modular synthesizer, which consists of a patched out vintage SEM, Mini-sequencer, 4 Voice output mixer and 4 Voice power supply in a wooden box with laser etched front panel. The power supply is running on 120V North American power and will include the original Oberheim power cable...
If you've been thinking of starting a modular system you could do a lot worse than this as it contains:
2xVCO
2xEG
VCF
VCA
LFO w/reset
2x8 step analog sequencer with both quantized and unquantized outputs
noise source
Sample/Hold with lag
VC Clock
4 channel stereo mixer
headphone amp
4 way multiple
case/power
Add that up in the modular planner and you're talking classic vintage analog for Doepfer prices."
This one was put together by Larry Church. You can find additional details and pics of the inside here.
Some additional details via the auction: "The only thing worth noting functionally is that the individual step trigger outputs for the sequencer, while wired properly, are very low voltage (~1V) and are S-trig (short to ground, normally open instead of closed) so they really need additional amplification and/or logic inversion to work with most things… not so useful in the context of this closed system, but very handy to have if you are using with a larger modular setup that has basic utility modules to handle these functions.
The SEM has had the LED replaced with a cool, non-blinding blue one... and is very clean cosmetically, as is the Output Module. The mini-sequencer has inexplicably had the front panel paint stripped by a former owner (legending is taped on there for reference) and the knobs are missing their inserts. The wood box won't win any furniture craftsmanship awards but it's made well and overall looks nice. The power supply had a recap and has enough juice to drive more SEMS should you choose to expand it in the future. The fuse holder is a bit loose but not in danger of falling out.
I've tweaked the semi-normalizations a bit and have it in what I think is the optimum routing configuration in regards to external CV/sequencing/transposition to the SEM.
The CV1 and Gate1 jacks in the lower right hand corner are where you plug in your external CV (like a keyboard, my Mini-Brute works perfectly) and the toggle switches route it for you. When in the upper SEQ position, the unquantized CV output of sequencer row #1 is routed directly to the SEM oscillators and gates to Envelope inputs so you can play the SEM from the sequencer without any patch cables. If you switch it to the lower EXT position, it transposes the sequencer from your external keyboard. If you want to bypass the sequencer and drive the SEM directly from your external source, you'd use EXT and then set the left routing switch on the Mini-sequencer to "Keyb". I've also run the main audio output of the SEM to input 4 on the Output Module.
Of course any of these semi-normalizations can be overridden by front panel patch points, but these help it become a self-contained, play-and-play from the sequencer, no patch cables necessary for immediate gratification instrument."

Ciat Lonbarde Tetrazzi Organus

"Discontinued Tetrazzi Organ in very good condition cosmetically and functions perfectly. Comes with power adapter, also runs on batteries.
Description from ciat-lonbarde.net
Tetrazzi is the newest incarnation of the Organus series, a mandala of analog oscillator circuits that can cross-modulate to form the empire of infinite circuitry known as pure sonic chaos.The tetrazzi boards shall be assembled by machine in Colorado, they will be perfect, and sonde-tested here in the workshop in Baltimore. Electronically, it represents some of the more profound electronic complices that were developed in the 20th century, such as Buchla Source of Uncertainty, U.S. Navy Phantastron Radar Circuit, and Piezoelectric Flex Technology. It is a way to make the touch-sensitivity of human organs into touch-sensitivity on the pipe organ, pipe here meaning "squishing electron flow via ceramic transducer"
You can check out a video of one in this post.
