The QPS1 will power a system of 44-66 spaces depending on the types of modules in it. That being said you can add an additional portable case and not need to buy another power source. That makes for easy customization and adding on."

Buchla 259e Complex Waveform Generator (w/Twisted Firmware)

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"This is the original 259e "Complex" oscillator loaded with firmware version 3.x of the "Twisted" 259e. This was my very first Buchla module purchased second hand a few years ago. I received it with the "Twisted" 259e's firmware loaded and it functions and sounds pretty much identical to the current Twisted 259e (which retails for $1600). However, the module arrive from it's prior owner with a few minor quirks. The quirks are:

Switching the module to "remote" mode sometimes takes a little patience. Usually it's necessary to hold the "remote" button down for 2 or 3 seconds to get it to work. Often that step needs to be repeated a few times before it finally activates, but has ALWAYS eventually worked. For me that's only been a tiny annoyance since I seldom use the preset manager. This is very likely a button problem that can probably be fixed by Buchla Electronic Music Instruments.

Turning the Morph attenuator clockwise seems to introduce a negative offset to the Morph value. Doesn't seem to have a major impact on usage as manually re-adjusting the Morph value will get things back on track. I'm assuming this can also be repaired by BEMI. There *might* even be some way to self-recalibrate the module that will resolve the issue (but I don't know for sure)

I haven't measured it, but the output level "seems" about 6db - 8db quieter than my other "e" modules. Again, this may be able to be repaired, but I can't say for certain.

These are the only issues I'm aware of. Other than that it sounds absolutely fantastic! Extremely versatile chameleon of sound! This is THE module that single-handedly pulled me into the world of Buchla. :)"

"Up for auction here is one super rare SidStation Ninja Edition, in great condition. It is currently loaded with the "original" Ninja soundbank, that is to say, I've wiped all my patches and put the factory Ninja patches back on it.

If you're here, you probably know all about the SidStation. Here are the features that differentiate the Ninja edition:
Black enclosure
Blue LEDs
Ninja soundbank
Only 50 made, which makes it the rarest production edition

As you may know / expect, THESE HARDLY EVER COME UP FOR SALE! I've only seen one other on ebay in the last few years.

This will come packaged in its original box, with stickers(!!!) [+posters] and a universal PSU. I'll include the manual if I can locate it, but worry not, it is of course available online from Elektron..."

New microTERA Waveshaping Synthesis for iPad

iTunes: microTERA - VirSyn

"Waveshaping Synthesis is a type of distortion synthesis that can create dynamic spectra in a controlled way. In waveshaping, it is possible to change the spectrum with the amplitude of the sound. A simple example of this method is the clipping caused by overdriving an audio amplifier.
