via the listing: "This is a modified MS-20 VCF built to handle a 9V power supply. I built this to use with keyboards or noisemakers that didn't have a tweakable filter! I was going to buy a Frostwave clone but the ridiculous prices people are paying for them forced me into this, and now I have to regrettably clean house a bit. Built on stripboard!"

Update: the circuits are based on Tim Escobedo's clone posted here.

"DRM-11o is an exact clone of the classic Boss DR-110 analog drum machine. In eurorack format (fully Dopfer compatible), it has trigger inputs for all the drums and percussives, filters, accents etc.

DDB is an expansion to the above, sporting the clap and direct, raw analog oscillators outputs. Both modules were made in limited run, available through preorder only. Not available anymore, this is your chance to get the that combo in mint condition."

"Grendel Drone Commander Boutique sequence/drone synthesizer handbuilt by Eric Archer.

With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects. Six of the Drone Commander’s nine knobs double as push-pull switches to control signal routing and waveform selection.

The Drone Commander is housed in a dark green military ammunition case with engraved aluminum control panel. The case is welded steel with an easily removable, rubber gasketed lid. There is almost no plastic in the drone commander! It measures 10″(w) x 7″(h) x 3.5″(d), and weighs about 6 lbs.The unit is powered by a 9V battery accessible through a slide-out drawer in the side, as well as a 9VDC adapter. Filter CV input (0-10V) and clock pulse output (+8V) are now standard features."

"Moody Electronics Baby Box
Boutique, handbuilt ambient drone synthesizer

The Moody Sounds Baby Box is a fun toy for those looking for mad sounds in the jungle of noise! Make a bizarre distortion of reality with this machine! Use it with guitar or let it make sounds on its own!

Baby Box has three modes of action: Auto, Constant and Trig. In the Auto and Constant modes, it generates noise. And you control parameters like noise pitch and tempo, delay interval and length, with its 10 control knobs.

The noise originates from oscillators in the Baby Box circuit. The signals from them are superimposed and a "noise" is produced. One of the oscillators has much lower frequency of oscillation than the others. It gives a "beat" to the noise and the tempo is controlled with the Sun-knob, up to the left - set it near max for rave-floor like sound, and near minimum position for bomb raid alarm kind of noise!

In the Trig mode it is possible for other sound generating devices, such as a guitar, to "talk" to the Baby Box - a line in signal sets off the sounds of the box. The big knob, Pluto, adjusts the mix between clean and noise. Turned all the way to the left, a clean unaffected signal comes out on the line out. As it is turned up, a classic guitar fuzz blends in. The trigging of the noise oscillators begins when Pluto is near maximum.

The noise oscillators are connected to a delay circuit, which puts some "depth" to the sound. The delay has two controls: number of repeats and time between repeats (Neptune and Uranus).

Baby Box is furnished with stereo output. The signal is split up in two in the delay circuit, and different sounds are produced in the two output channels. Plug in stereo headphones directly to the output and have great fun!

This is a very moody pedal. If you want a decently behaving effect, maybe something else is better?! We have added a true bypass foot switch to it. This is if you quickly want to bypass the odd sounds and get back to normal again!"

SCI Prophet 600++ (GliGli's firmware) Sound Demo



"Some sounds created with a modded Sequential circuits Prophet 600.
This p600 has the Gligli's teensy++ beta Firmware.

Chorus and reverb added, no eq no comp."

P600FW Examples


"This weekend I finally finished repairing some dead IC chips on my old Prophet 600 analog synth. I also installed an amazing new open-source AND open hardware CPU/firmware upgrade by a French developer who goes by name "Gligli." More info here: github.com/gligli/p600fw

Here are some examples of the extreme, glitchy, grungy sounds that are now possible to coax from from this once tame polysynth!"

What does this remind you off?  I'll post what it reminded me of the second I saw it in a bit.  Hint: it's also based out of the Pacific Northwest.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down performs We the Common live in the Moog Sound Lab

Published on Jun 11, 2013 MoogMusicInc·245 videos

"Thao Nguyen is best known for her quirky but cutting brand of alt-folk, but for their Moog Sound Lab re-imagining of 'We the Common', Thao & the Get Down Stay Down create a driving electronic daydream. For the performance, Thao kept her signiture banjo while the rest of the band traded their traditionally acoustic instruments for Moog analog circuitry. Adam Thompson lays down powerful synth bass on the Moog Sub Phatty Synthesizer & Johanna Kunin uses a Slim Phatty poly-chain to create moving electronic melodies. Jason Slota swapped his acoustic drumset for an all analog synth drum sound powered by 3 Minimoog modules."

Mutable Instruments BRAIDS & Ripples Eurorack Module Overviews


BRAIDS manual overview. from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"This is a run through of SOME of the various modes with manual manipulation of the control parameters being played from a basic sequence.

Another video showcasing the same parameters under modulation will soon be added.

The sound of these things is utterly astounding!"


Ripples overview from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"This is an overview of this wonderful sounding little filter module, i go through the various modes and the on board VCA.

It all sounds good but in particular I think it sounds excellent when modulated at Audio rates. Perhaps the most straight forward of the Mutable Instruments modules I have tried by why complicate things? sometimes all you need is a sweet, musical filter that ticks all the boxes and that's EXACTLY what it is!"
