STG Soundlabs Mankato Filter Frac Modified for Eurorack
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction - cool white Moog knobs.
"This is basically the "frac-rack" design that has been modified to work in a Eurorack system. A couple things to note: there are a number of very small nicks in the surface which aren't really obvious except at certain angles. The circuit board is very deep, and measures very slightly under 6.75 inches from the back of the faceplate to the edge of the board. Please make sure to measure your case to ensure that it fits! Otherwise this module looks and sounds fantastic, and performs a number of duties beyond filtering - as an 8 phase LFO / VCO and with wave shaping capabilities when patching the outputs into its control inputs. This module is a one of a kind build for Eurorack and won't be found anywhere else! I have pasted the manufacturer's description below for your convenience. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
The Mankato Filter is a four-pole lowpass filter with positive and negative outputs at every pole, giving you slopes of 6 dB/oct, 12 dB/oct, 18 dB/oct, and 24 dB/oct simultaneously. the negative slope outputs allow you to use the Mankato as a quadrature sine oscillator with 8 available phases. the Mankato will self-resonate from subaudio to superaudio, and responds to one volt per octave through its unattenuated control inputs. the signal inputs are DC coupled, which allows you to use the Mankato as a voltage-controlled slew limiter..."
The Mankato was designed by Thomas Henry and named by Magic Smoke Electronics.

KORG Volca Beats Motion Recording

"KORG Volca Beat has two Motion Recorder for track parameter variations in Stutter Delay Depth + Time and PCM Sounds Playback Speed. While in Record, you can automate parameters and, with a bit of skill, you can enhance the whole pattern. Not easy as it seems, but effective."

More Info on the Doepfer A-190-4 USB/MIDI-to-CV/Gate/ Sync Interface
via PatchPierre.Net where you'll find additional info.
"He [Dieter Doepfer] replied to me that the A-190-4 will replace the A-190-1 as the A-190-1 has been developed more than 15 years ago and is a bit old-fashioned and long-winded to operate.
Mainly the missing display has been complained by several customers (i.e. no display of the parameter like midi channel, reference note, scale settings, portamento and pitch-bend range, clock divider, status of the built-in (software) LFO and so on).
The basic functions of the A-190-4 will be the same as the A-190-1 but the man-machine interface will be better because of the display that shows the parameter value. It will also be equipped with USB..."

One of a Kind Custom Roland TR-808 Drum Machine - Mind the Step

via this auction - spotted and in by @dyLABs
"One of a kind TR-808! Case was removed to enable all of the mods. This 808 has been unleashed into a whole new realm of mind blowing. It really is something to behold for live sets, both visually, and the sounds that can be achieved are guaranteed to rock any dance floor. The case and lid are effectively integrated to take it on the road with confidence. All the mods are completely stable. The previous owner did the work, and I have used it for the last 6 years without fault. I'm sorry to see this go, but I'm just not writing enough tunes these days to warrant having in my studio. A collector may be horrified by the non-standard look, but performers/producers will really appreciate the versatility and depth added to the 808 sound. And besides, these drum machines should be played, not placed on the shelf!
It also has a KADI port added so you can fully MIDI integrate using a Kenton Pro KADI (not included - see my other auction). Recommend using it with the Pro KADI if you plan to compose using a PC/Mac software package.
