Make noise Mysteron at the knobcon 2014

Make noise Mysteron at the knobcon 2014 from Andreas Schneider on Vimeo.

"Tony Rolando alias Make Noise is introducing his latest module the 'Mysteron' trying to explain the functionality without any sound here. Later on he is introducing his quad multiple with integrated preamp left and headamp right hand, thats more easy to understand - with no sounds.
The video was taken by Philipp and his eyephone on the knobcon in between a few hundred other modular geeks in a chicago hotel once he visited the american modular meeting together with two other friends working at Schneidersladen normally."

Rocket Pilot MaxForLive Editor for the Waldorf Rocket Synthesizer

You'll find the editor here.

"A simple and clean editor for the Waldorf Rocket synthesizer.

Yeah, there are already many other Rocket editors available however none of them managed to do everything that I needed so I decided to make my own.

Rocket Pilot is super simple and straight-forward. The layout and design are similar to the actual hardware.
I've also added some options that are only available via MIDI CC such as the Vibrato Mod Speed / Amount.

The Send button is useful for sending the position of all the parameters at once to the synth.

Have fun!"

Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo (Space Echo) vintage tape delay - functionality test from 65Mosrite

via this auction

"The comprehensive restoration included: tuning the Moog and organ section, adjusting all Moog & organ trimpots to proper specs, replacing electrolytic capacitors with various high-quality, long-life 105^C rated caps from Nichicon, Mallory, etc, regluing faceplate and vinyl, lubricating the volume pedal and replacing the aging potentiometer, cleaning all key contacts on both tiers and the bass pedals, re-gluing&painting broken white plastic slider caps (ALL old CDX-0652's have or will soon have white plastic slider caps/knobs on the Moog section that split down the middle from old age/plastic shrinkage), duplicating 1 missing white slider cap (I hand carved it out of solid maple, sanded it and painted in several stages to get the same color, shape, & finish as the rest), cleaning & lubricating all sliders for near-zero noise and good tactile feel, re-soldering critical connections throughout, etc.

You will be happy to know that I've left all the original coupling caps in place for that authentic vintage 70's sound...only the electrolytics needed replacement.

Condition: Mint functional condition and excellent physical condition - couple of blemishes on outer cover (from cigarettes perhaps), some extremely light pitting/rust on chrome legs (rust seems to be stable and is not spreading), small blemish in paint on the bass pedals, scratches and dents on the various faceplates and throughout the unit - all consistent with light use and little to no gigging."

KORG Prophecy's on eBay

"KORG PROPHECY Synth Demo, Part 1 of a 2 Part video series on my favorite patches, and a 'walkthrough.' of programming changes. Be sure to watch for Part 2 of this series, and Part 2 of a deeper video series on programming soon to follow.

The KORG PROPHECY was among the first "Virtual Analog" synthesizers from the mid to late 90s, and is one of my favorite synths due to it's truly extensive architecture. It remains one of the more complex and unique sounding 'Physical Modeling' Synthesizers ever made."

Extremely rare HAMMOND 102200 vintage analog Synthesizer vs Darth NoiseLabCH

Published on Sep 22, 2014 NoiselabCH

"Recorded live with an EDEN Bassamp and an IPhone, without any external effects...

One of a few still working HAMMOND 102200 preset Synthesizer explored by Darth NoiseLabCH. A widely unknown vintage analog monophonic synthesizer built in 1974. HAMMOND did only build 200 of this classic preset synth. Similar to ROLAND SH-2000, ELKA Soloist, ARP Soloist etc. the HAMMOND 102200 was intended to stay on top of an organ.

1 Osc only, but organ like divide is possible, so you have in fact a pseudo-3-Osc VCO, add noise and you have unexpected possibilities. However, I guess Hammond did not plan to press more than 2 Regs at once, pressing three together is a pain. My intention was not to damage it, so in following sound examples no more than 2 are used.

The six presets are not bad, but you can't use them with the 49 press-buttons for VCO, VCF, VCA settings (Yes, no slider or knobs except for Wind/Noise, Volume and Tune). So to get something out of this machine you need to to 'cancel' the presets to enter manual mode. All sounds presented are in manual mode exept short preset examples at the end of the vid.

Definitely a underrated Synth, well, only 200 built

As usual pretty bad keyboard play, laying focus on sound creation ;-)"

Korg Polysix KLM-367A PCB Assembly

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

via this auction

"This auction is for a new Korg Polysix KLM-367 PCB Assembly. If you are looking I'm sure you know this is the infamous PCB Assembly that gets damaged from the NiCd battery corrosion. The PCB is the popular clone from Jed Jorgensen The PCB is professionally assembled and includes all of the components except for the uPD8048C-345 Mask ROM that must being transferred from another board (presumably the old board it will replace). All IC's are placed in machined IC sockets. The board has a high capacity CR2450 Lithium battery for several decades of memory backup.

All of the components on the PCB are new except for the following:
The uPD8048C-345 Mask ROM is not placed. A socket is installed and waiting for a donor.
The two LM13600 dual OTA's may be new or re-used. When the original Korg selected LM13600's are working and show no signs of corrosion they are re-used. When they are not working or show sings of corrosion they are replaced with new LM13700's.

The NTC Thermistor is re-used from the old board.
The connectors are re-used from the old board as they are no longer available.
The PCB assembly is tested on a test unit and is guaranteed working. If you have a Polysix that is no longer working and has battery corrosion the new PCB assembly may fix the problem. The board is plug and play and can be swapped out with little effort, although I would caution that you still need the correct tools & test equipment to successfully calibrate the new board. For this reason I would also advise to have it fitted by an experienced tech as calibration can be tricky and they will also be able to identify other issues. You should not assume that if you have a non-working Polysix with battery corrosion that the corroded PCB is the only problem.

If you do decide to install it yourself and you are not very experienced I would make sure at the very least to check the power supply voltages before plugging in the new board. If you get so far as having swapped out the board only to turn on the unit and find the program and bank LED's are randomly lit and it doesn't work right.. this is generally directly related to the calibration of the KLM-367A. You must complete the calibration procedure before the Polyix will operate correctly.

If you want to return your old board to me I am usually interested in buying it back for a 'core' refund of $35 plus postage so I can re-use the connectors and thermistor on a future build.

Please do not contact me during or after the auction to inquire about additional PCB assemblies. This is not a profitable venture and I only make a few extras to help out the synth community when I need one or two. Anytime I have one available it will be listed on Ebay."
