Pinwale Sounds - From Soft Power To Unjust Peace

Published on Dec 17, 2014 Jacques Mongrel

"A futile exercise in relaxation combining a lethargic dance jam with scenes from Mamoru Oshi's movie Patlabor 2 which, amongst other things, ruminates on the notion that developed countries exist in a state of 'unjust peace'. Set in a near future Tokyo, where computer networks and large machines called "Labors" have lead to unprecedented economic prosperity, a terrorist attack is not all that it seems."

Notable Max For Live synths used:
Kasio, Opfour, Bassline"

1968 WEM HAND-FULL VINTAGE HAND HELD SYNTHESIZER DRUM MACHINE EFFECTS UNIT

via this auction

SN 00036

"For sale is this vintage 1968 WEM Hand-Full synthesizer noise module. This incredibly rare monosynth, serial number HF 00036, is in extremely clean 100% all original condition. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, this unit is in perfect functional shape. Designed to be held in one hand, but played with both, this psychedelic approach to synthesis was too far ahead of its time. Most similar to today’s Korg Kaos Pad with regard to tactile manipulation and the small simple interface, this hand held synth consists of 4 separate circuits, each of which has 4 basic functions/buttons. Though each circuit board is mono, all four of the boards, as well as the 2 control knobs, interact in a very interesting manner. With squeals, slaps, dive bombs, whistles, and resonant thunder, the Hand-Full might be interpreted by some as a sound effect machine, but in actuality, is somewhat more sophisticated and clearly more musical. While this unit should belong in a museum, it would be an absolute treasure to have in a great studio. Though the serial number suggests that more than 50 were probably made, we’ve only accounted for the potential of a batch of less than 15. Part novelty, part history, this is an incredibly unique synth."

Roland TR-505 Drum Machine Patterns

Published on Dec 17, 2014 Synth Universe

"One of the easiest drum machines to use and my first one I got in about 1988 which was still selling new. Related to the TR-707 but slimmed down to the size of a crappy RX machine. Has better sounds and editing than the RX17 or similar. Love the claps, the kicks, everything about it. Funny enough these can go for crazy prizes, like over $200."

Blue Lantern Modules Active Buffered Multiple

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

via this auction, via MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS

"Another short run item. I am selling off the rest. I have about 25 here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an active multiple using TL074 op amp to copy the signal and repeat the patch. I am using a simple design. What goes in, comes out exactly the same. I am not using resistors to play with the ratio's. I also added a 100k to ground clamp so that you can copy even fast clocks, gates, etc and they will not 'stick' together to make one big pulse. It can be a problem with some multiples.

You get the modules, a ribbon cable, and M3 screws with the sale."
