"This is a very cool, very rare item that just doesn't get enough use in my studio anymore.

These units were made in the 70s, and were (and still are) one of the few ways to track an audio input and convert it to a control voltage to be used with a synthesizer. They were also sold at the time in different form factors for use in the Serge and Aries modular synthesizers. There are web sites that discuss this unit in fair detail, including, I believe, one that was put up by it's designer Carl Fravel. (You'll have to search as ebay won't let me post the link)

This particular unit is roughly 2 rack spaces high. It does not have rack ears on it, so I used it on a rack shelf. I also have the manual for the unit which will be included with the auction..."

"Intellijel Azimuth Dual VCA/Crossfade module...

The Azimuth is back! This is a completely new circuit jam packed with 12 VCAs to perform three core and independent functions:
linear input VCAs + Constant Voltage panning/fading + super stereo processing.

External signals are first processed by the input VCAs, they are then fed to the panning circuit and then processed by the stereo enhancement section.

Features:

Stereo linear input VCAs with independent CV controls and attenuators

WIDTH control determines functionality of the Panning knob:

Full CCW is MONO width and the Panning knob acts as a linear xfade control between the left and right source signals.

Middle setting is normal STEREO operation. A mono signal in the left input can be panned between L/R and a stereo source can be balanced.

Full CW is the super stereo mode which employs a special trick to create the aural illusion of an extra wide stereo image.

Full CV control with attenuator of the width amount

Switch for changing the direction of panning/fading

DC coupled inputs

6pin header to normal the stereo outputs to the stereo inputs of the uJack via ribbon cable."

Intro To Addictive Synth

Published on Jul 21, 2013 RyanHemeon·84 videos

"In this demo and walkthrough I show a little bit of the features of Addictive Synth by VirSyn. I like this app and find it has a great sound as well as some interesting features. The only thing I didn't like is the inability to select Midi input apps, I recommend using MidiBridge to get your apps working if you are having problems.

SYNTHBOY+ MOD3

"MOD3 adds CV/Gate input to the Synthboy+. More basic info about the Synthboy+ can be found in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxZ4J6...
More info about MOD3 specifically can be found here: http://www.ninstrument.com/?page_id=1260
As always, please visit Ninstrument.com for info about all of our fun developments!"

"Ever since the start of the Synthboy+ project I had MOD3 in mind. If you go back to the original Kickstarter video, you will even hear me mention it. Now that we have successfully made it through the Kickstarter phase, I’m excited to show the work and resources that we have reinvested back into the project.

After trying a CV/Gate to MIDI interface with the Synthboy+, I found many problems that just had to be fixed in order for CV/Gate to be truly useful. We focused on finding the little and large inaccuracies that plagued the other converter and we also added a few unique features that don’t exist anywhere else. FieldingBlue (Our Developer) also spent a considerable amount of time working on a bullet proof error checking process, and it shows. While there are a few limitations with the first gen Gameboy, we squeeze as much performance as possible to get those authentic modulated Nintendo sounds!.."
