"This Metasonix TM-1 is item which was discontinued in 2009. The TM-1, like all Metasonix products, was lovingly handcrafted in Lakeport, California (by fairies).
'VERY WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ! ' is how one of our customers described this unit. If you are the type who likes things that are different , the Metasonix TM-1 may be just what you have been searching for. With its all vacuum tube circuit, there is no mistaking the sound of the TM-1 with any other device.
Metasonix took the basic circuit of their award-winning TS-21 Hellfire Modulator, and added the world's first vacuum tube audio ring modulator. The result is a new sound-effects device in a small, economical package. The sound is totally unique, powerful and distinctive. Use it as a stand-alone effects box, or mount it in a modular synth with the optional TM-D or TM-M kit.
The pentode preamp gives gain and distortion; the pulser injects small pulses on top of the signal; and the beam tube gives both wavefolding and ring modulation (carrier provided by an internal wide-range oscillator, or inject your own carrier signal). The TM-1 can also be used as a self-contained pseudorandom signal generator, by patching its output back to its input. You've read about "strange attractors" and other chaotic sound generation techniques? The TM-1 is the first all-tube chaotic sound generator. The results must be heard to be believed!
Frequency response: less than 10 Hz to greater than 40 kHz
Distortion: from less than 0.1% to 100%, depending on control settings and input waveform
Hum and noise: less than 0.5 mV
Power input: 10 - 12 volts AC, 50/60 Hz, 0.8 amp at idle
Inputs: phone jacks for audio input; optional inputs for beam-tube CV, VCA CV, and ring-modulator external carrier (requires at least 20v p-p signal for full effect) Output: audio (mono)
Dimensions: 7 1/2" (192mm) x 4 3/8" (112mm) x 3" (77mm)
Weight (not including accessories): 5 pounds (2.2 kg)"

The following are some details on the sequencer captured from the Audulus forum. Impressive.
"Ok, so here it is - the first (somewhat buggy) draft of Cogito, my Cartesian Sequencer - so called because...well, you'll see. I pushed the iPhone to its absolute limit with this one. It only takes up - ONLY, haha - 30% of the CPU, but I can *barely* get it to work with a synth beefier than 1 OSC node, 1 ADSR, 1 delay, and 1 reverb. It's official - I need to get a new Mac if I really want to pursue my Audulus dreams.
First, thanks are in order:

The Circadian Rhythms is moving modular synthesizer technology another step forward by gluing all the pieces of a system together. Each module or voice can now be programmed to play straight from an intelligent, eight-channel, 512-step master trigger sequencer made for composers looking to make music on the modular. Building on the sequencing concept of step programing multi-channel patterns of musical phrases can be repeated, looped, chained, muted and manipulated on the fly in real-time, and most importantly, all of this is done through a simple, clearly labeled interface. Using an array of multicolor illuminated buttons and innovative grid views provides a highly functional live performance sequencer with a beautiful glowing appearance of the programmed music that will look amazing on stage for both performer and crowd. As a master controller, the heart of the modular synthesizer, Circadian Rhythms generates high precision clock and reset signals for all the other sequencers and devices in the system to align with and can also act as a high precision bridge for DAW synchronization.

"Vintage Wavemakers Modular Systems kb 658 digital sequencer
This unit was tested with a condor power supply and found to be in working condition, but it's currently in need of a wood case, power supply, and it could use a new 9 volt battery connector to store sequences. (1 battery post is currently broken off)
Tested with my eurorack system and Arp 2600. And it seems to work fine.
But, please:
Bid accordingly due to age, rarity and please keep in mind it could need repair or maintenance to be 100%
from the estate of Dr. Terry Kincaid, designer of Wavemakers modular systems here in seattle.
John Loffink of wavemakers-synth.com should be able to help with any repairs needed. this is a rare chance to own a piece of music industry history."

Aufnahme mit einem seltenen Hammond Synthesizer 102200
Published on Jan 27, 2015 Jimi Grok
"The deep synth sound is a loop from the hammond synth. Also the high sound is the same loop mangled with a plugin. Just the drums are not from the synth .."
YouTube description in German (Googlish further below):
"Hammond Synthesizer 102200
Der sehr seltene Hammond Synthesizer von 1974-75 wurde nur ca. 200 mal produziert. Bei dem Synthesizer handelt es sich um einen monophonen Synthesizer mit ca. 300 Variationsmöglichkeiten.
Die oberen Regler dienen für WIND, VOLUME und TUNE.
Die Taster können spaltenweise einzeln gedrückt werden.
In der Spalte TONE SWITCH ist es auch möglich mehrere Tasten gleichzeitig zu drücken.
Die Spaltenbeschriftungen von links nach rechts sind: TONE PTICH, TONE FILTER, FILTER RISE & FALL (WIDTH / SPEED), ATTACK & DECAY, PITCH BEND und MODULATOR.
Es gibt zudem noch 6 Presets.
Vorteilhaft finde ich den TUNE Switch, der als Schieberegler meiner Meinung nach besser zu bedienen ist als ein Drehknopf. Leider ist die Geschwindigkeit der Wellenform nicht stufenlos einstellbar aber alles in allem war der Synth seiner Zeit voraus.
Ein Video mit Klangbeispielen des Synthesizer folgt."
Googlish:
"Hammond Synthesizer 102200
The very rare Hammond Synthesizer 1974-75 was only produced about 200 times. The synthesizer is a monophonic synthesizer with 300 variations.
The top set is for WIND, VOLUME and TUNE.
The button can be pressed in columns individually.
In the TONE SWITCH column, it is also possible to press multiple keys simultaneously.
The column labels from left to right are: Ptich TONE, TONE FILTER FILTER RISE & FALL (WIDTH / Speed) ATTACK DECAY & PITCH BEND and MODULATOR.
There is also a further 6 presets.
Advantageously, I find the TUNE switch, which is better to use as a slider in my opinion as a knob. Unfortunately, the speed of the wave form is not adjustable but all in all the synth ahead of its time.
A video with sound samples of synthesizers follows."
