via this auction

"For sale is a rare Arp 2600 synthesizer with keyboard included. It's in excellent shape & FULLY FUNCTIONAL, just recently serviced by a top bay area tech, including tightening up keyboard connector cable, cleaning keyboard buss bar, cleaning sliders, etc. This is the one to get! It will serve you well for many years, don't risk paying a fortune for one in unknown condition. It also has the awesome sounding 4012 Moog Filter which later 2600's don't have as they were sued by Moog over the design. Also has original 4027-1 oscillators. All original, only modification is 3 prong power cable so you can use a standard power cable rather than the obscure oval one. Only other thing to mention is two side latches on the main module & one on the keyboard are broken, as to be expected with age. Otherwise it's complete, looks great for its age, a few scruffs/scratches/tears here & there, but front face is mostly clean & letters/graphics are crisp & easy to read. Includes power cable & keyboard connector cable. The tone on this is a monster, amazing sound like only a 2600 can have...

"Tappin' lounge, hop, and old school noise for a mellow tip

1 synth, 1 sequencer, 1 drum machine, 2 effects, Roland SH-5, Arturia BeatStep and Korg Electribe ER1 + QuadraVerb and Synth Wah

The bass is the ER1, the distorted stuff is a Digitech Synth Wah with the ER1 & SH-5 at various levels, switching between it's effects, most of the major tone changes, especially the drastic ones are the synth wah, the sort of laid back synth parts a little past half way are the BeatStep knobs while it is paused, so silky sometimes"

"Beat707 XXL Pre-Release Video (sorry for the low volume and bad audio quality, I will improve this for the next videos. ETA around 10 days from today)"

"Not ready yet, but almost... ;-) The side connectors will be Mic 6 Pin connectors, for now I'm using a ribbon cable since the connectors haven´t arrived yet. Also, I will adjust the touch-sensors a bit so they look better on the final for-sale units. Follow us here on FB to get the details next week, prices, schedule, etc ... we already placed the order for the PCBs which will arrive before November 20th.

Let us know what you want: Full Kits, Bare-Bone Kits, Fully Assembled Units, ... A pre-release video will follow ASAP, just uploading it. Once I have better connectors here and can assemble more units, I will make a full-pro video using 4 units and better sound generators (still working on the software, which is fully open-source, but not the hardware)."

Programming the Kay DRM-1 Memory Rhythm Machine

Published on Nov 14, 2014 zibbybone

"Here's a rare box I forgot I picked up a few years ago. It is very similar to the Roland / Boss DR-55 in design both style and sound. The DRM-1 features fully programmable bass drum, snare drum, closed hi hat and cymbal. Instead of a cymbal, the DR-55 has a programmable rim shot and the closed hat can either be turned off or play 8th or 16th notes. Sorry, I goofed up the bass drum rhythm (what I want to trigger on 1st step actually triggers on the 16th step), I was a bit rushed filming this video and didn't want to redo. Sometimes you get happy accidents programming this way."

Mam MB33 Synth (TB-303 clone)

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

via this auction

"Mam MB33, full midi control of parameters, VCF in for filtering of external signals. This is the MK I, important as it can be modded as seen here- Circuit Benders MB33 Acid FM Mods

Has added function of being able to mix square and sawtooth waves instead of just one."

The listing also states the circuitry is an exact clone of the x0xb0x. I haven't heard of this before and according to Circuitbenders they are not the same. The x0xb0x is lady ada's exact clone of the TB-303's circuitry, while I'm guessing the MB33 was based on it.
