"Here's a performance demo of the Meng Qi Rollz-5! It's almost impossible to explain without touching it or going to into metaphors about mushroom planets, so I've done the next best thing. Enjoy!"

"This synth has a great moog-like sound and is capable of blowing speakers with it's fat punchy sound and sonic capability...it can do squelchy 303 style bass lines or creamy smooth moog-like sounds as well. And it will also do great acoustic instrument sounds too or just whatever you want to create..as with a Minimoog, the Ritm-2 sound possibilities are only limited by you!
This is a very easy synth to program and create with and the panel is in russian however, I have paperwork with sound patches and images of the control panel in English so once you find what each control does then you will have no problems at all creating the sounds you need..
It has pitch bend capabilities with the control wheel and also a slider control for LFO mod..you can also play the keyboard a full octave lower by bending the wheel down until it latches which makes the whole keyboard 12 steps lower.

I had the tech install input jacks so you can run other intruments thru it's filter and the Output jack is 1/4 headphone style also just like the other jacks. This was all converted so as to make it easier for use and capable of being used just like any other synth since it had the russian style output on it as the original."

The Bumblebee by Plankton Electronics

"Demos for The Bumblebee. A DIY modular drone / noise machine. Ideal for beginners and noise makers. More info @ www.planktonelectronics.com/bumblebee"

"The Bumblebee has 3 oscillators, 3 LFOs a high pass filter and a low pass filter...

The first of the Plankton Noise series. This is a super easy to mount and play DIY drone ‘n’ noise machine. A simple but powerful design capable of generate the most annoying sounds of the neighborhood. Designed for DIY beginners, noise makers, and weird sound enthusiasts, it’s modular design converts it into a very versatile machine capable of multiply its power when connected to other modular systems...

Each oscillator generates an audible tone (a square wave) controlled with the Rate potentiometer. With the Vol pot the signal is sent to the filters and then to the main output. Each osc has its own output, which is independent of the volume control.

With the CV inputs we can control the tone of the oscillator with antoher signal. This is usually done with the LFO’s or another oscillator but you can use any signal from 0 to 5V. When a signal of more than 0V feeds an oscillator its tone will increase. With the CV potentiometer we can attenuate the amount of the modulation.

OSCILLATOR MODULATION

With the gate input we can switch on and off the oscillator creating gate and ducking effects. This only accepts 0 or 5V inputs because it acts as a switch. Anyway you can experiment with other signals.

OSCILLATOR GATE

We can create a very weird patch connecting each OSC to the CV IN of the next one (OSC1 -> CV2A, OSC2 -> CV3A, OSC3 -> CV1A ). This way we create feedback between the 3 oscillators. Tweaking the RATE and CV potentiometers the machine will produce very rare sounds.

LFOS

The LFOs, Low Frequency Oscillators, are essentially the same design as the oscillator, but with a lower frequency (the lower settings are not audible). It only have one CV IN each and no GATE input. Each LFO have its own led to see the frequency. The LFOs are not connected anywhere like the Oscillators, just to its outputs.

Filters

The high pass filter cut all the frequencies below a point which is set with the HPF pot. It is usually used to remove the non desired lows and to create a thinner sound.

The low pass filter works the oposite as the HPF, cutting all the freqs over a point. Besides it have the RESO pot which produces a feedback near the cuttof frequency creating a very popular and nice gritty sound.

Setting all the volumes of the oscillators to its maximum position will cause the filters to distort.

Output

The main output sums everything and sends it to the OUT connector via the MAIN pot."
