Update: see the comments of this post for some more info.

via the listing: "I got this from David Dixon and it was built by himself and from his own system. In perfect shape and I highly doubt you will see anothe of these for sale there are not many iin this format and this was Davids own one he built for himself. It sounds truly amazing. Details as follows:

Dr. OctatureOctal phase shifted outputs Low Pass Filter and VCO/LFO

The intellijel dr. octature, another installment in the David G. Dixon 2164 series of modules.

The basis of the module is a 4-pole lpf inspired by the classic “cascaded ota” design, but realized instead with superior-quality 2164 vcas.

The “octature” refers to the 8 distinct, phase separated outputs (every 45 degrees, or two sets of four 180-degree shifted outputs). each pair has a different slope: 6db, 12db, 18db and 24dB.

The cascaded-stage design is similar to the filter found in absolute classics such as the roland jupiter-6 and sh-101. However, when put into self-oscillation this filter becomes a stable, 1V/Oct tracking LFO/VCO, with each of the 8 outputs giving a sine wave 45 degrees out of phase with the next.

Features:

Coarse and fine tuning
Range switch for lfo (0.017Hz to 300Hz) and vco (17Hz to 22kHz) modes
VC resonance with logarithmic response for smooth control
1v/oct temperature stable tracking
Mono/quad resonance gain distribution switch for classic or enhanced performance
Unipolar fm1 and bipolar fm2 attenuated CV inputs
Single pcb design (very shallow/skiff friendly)"

Xenophone - New Monophonic Analog Hardware Synth from HyperSynth


"Synth-Engine:

Xenophone is an advanced analog mono-synth with 100% analog signal path. It has three oscillators, two subs, three ring modulators, one multimode VCF and analog distortion, all based on discrete analog circuits followed by a high quality stereo digital delay and reverb. The extensive modulation capabilities of the sound engine plus the warm and unique character of Xen's filter enriched by built-in analog distortion make it the best choice for creating deep basses, aggressive leads, transparent and crisp synth lines, acid sequences, complex arpeggios, punchy percussive sounds, extreme SFXs and more. Besides the synthesis capabilities, it can be used as a powerful audio processor to colorize an external input signal by analog filter, distortion and DFX.


Control and User Interface:

26 encoders and 27 buttons put all the major parameters easily reachable with no menu diving. The Encoders smoothly turn and provide you 96 steps per rotation that mimic pot's feeling and sweep range. The layout is designed in a way to be simple and intuitive. Using 88 LEDs and a free-angle OLED display, it is easy to get the idea of the current preset at a glance. Master Tempo and all LFOs have blinking LEDs that show the BPM and rates. The presets can be previewed without external keyboard using 3 buttons in 3-octave range or pre-defined notes. User interface is easy to learn and creative with no useless bells and whistles. You can get a huge sound out of the box only with a few tweaks and changes.


Enclosure and Connectivity:

Xenophone has a rigid Aluminum enclosure that comes with a pair of vintage style hand-made wooden side panel that made out of maple wood in two options: flat and tilted.

The box connects to the outside world using 2x balanced outputs (stereo), 1x headphone jack, 1x external input, 1x CV input, MIDI in/out, USB and DC power in.


MIDI and DAW Integration:

Xenophone can function as a standalone instrument or fully programmable synth. It responds to the standard MIDI messages plus dedicated CC and NRPNs. The maximum implemented resolution in NRPN mode is 12bit, 4096 steps for filter frequency that provides super smooth sweep over the frequency range in compare to 127 steps CC standard!

The computer integration is an important feature of a modern synth that plays vital role in the studio. Xenophone comes with a software editor called: XEditor. Using this editor you can control and automate every parameter of the sound engine remotely via MIDI and storing your patches on your PC and vise-versa. It also helps you in deep and precise editing the patches. "XEditor" will be available as standalone and VST plug-in."

Roland SH-101+KORG Volca+x0xb0x(MIDI Sync test)

Published on Oct 17, 2013 yoshitb303r·42 videos

It gets going at 2:45.

"Volca Beatsをコンバータにしてx0xb0xからのMIDI Sync信号に
SH-101のシーケンサーを同期させました。
Volcaを使えば、MIDI信号もSH-101のクロックを同期させる事が可能です­☆

Please listen to Demo Track⇒https://soundcloud.com/yo-17

I synchronized a sequencer of SH-101 to MIDI Sync signal from x0xb0x with Volca Beats as a converter. The MIDI signal can synchronize a clock of SH-101 if I use Volca."

Octave CAT Demo Video by GForce Software


Published on Oct 17, 2013 GForceSoftwareTV·82 videos

"A walkthrough of the Octave Cat SRM II.

Manufactured between 1976 & 1981 and considered by some to a copycat ARP Odyssey, we look at why that seems an unfair comparison and why we think, sonically, this synth deserves to be appreciated as something special in its own right."

AK Drummer


Published on Oct 17, 2013 fonitronik·27 videos

"A short demo of the AK Drummer transistor drummachine.
Even though it was sold as a kind of toy in the 80ies (?) it has very interesting innards: the actual sound circuitry is obviously kind of a 70ies transistor species. i did not trace it down or re-engineer it, however, i bet these are kind of simplified ace tone or roland wiedergangers.

So just imagine this would be housed in a tolex box (double the size) with an ace tone, roland or korg logo on it. you would be fine..."

This is the first AK Drummer post.

Update via Michael in the comments: "according to this link it was sold under different names; 'AK', 'Super Sound' and 'Cort'"
