Percussa Announces Wireless AudioCubes PRO, Available Now

via Percussa:

"We're very proud to announce that we're releasing a new version of the wireless audiocubes: the Percussa Wireless AudioCubes PRO.

The Percussa Wireless AudioCubes PRO have the same built in electronics as the Wireless AudioCubes, but will come with a high-quality housing that has increased impact and wear resistance.

Software updates will continue to work on the previous version of the Wireless AudioCubes, and will work equally well on the new version, the Wireless AudioCubes PRO.

Design Process

Instead of continuing to produce a housing from two U shaped parts, which are produced by laser cutting, bending and gluing processes, we've decided to opt for a new design, advanced materials such as Delrin and Polycarbonate, and production processes such as CNC milling and molding.

Bert has been working on this updated design for more than a year, going over countless variations and possible ways to produce the new AudioCubes, until arriving at the design you can see above and below in the image gallery.

The Percussa Wireless AudioCubes PRO will consist of 2 parts. The top part will be made of white translucent material, and bottom part of opaque black material. The black material will enhance the contrast of the colours displayed by the top part.

We decided to make these changes to give you, the AudioCubist, an even better experience when using AudioCubes on stage or in the studio: an updated design, increased colour contrast, improved impact and wear resistance and easier maintenance. All of these changes will push AudioCubes to the next level.

We'll be posting more info about the housing on the newsletter in the next weeks. Meanwhile, check out the renderings below!

We have limited inventory of this new version of the AudioCubes, the Wireless AudioCubes PRO. If you want to make sure you get the new version, head over to our pricing page, and order now."

Vintage Doepfer Sound Sampler

Update: Turns out this was not Doepfer's first creation (see the timeline here).  You can find some history on the Sound Sampler previously captured here and here.

This one in via Florian Anwater:

"this is an interesting find at the sequencer.de forum:

Partial translation of the text:

I' dug out a Doepfer Sound Sampler. It has a sound interface and 8 voice cards. I found also the Building instructions. I know that it can be used in connection with a C64 computer, but the ribbon cable which connects the sampler with the computer is broken. So I cannot check the functionality.
[...] My father has built it in the 80ies, as he hoped to get the fairlight sound, but he was disappointed by the results.

Comment from Florian: Appearently this is a really complete system. Consisting of the voice card and the loop card for each voice and the interface card for the C64."

ALM008 - Pip Slope from ALM on Vimeo.

"‘Pip Slope’ is a compact eurorack function generator. It supports both Attack/Decay and Attack/Sustain/Decay type envelope functions with both direct and voltage control of Attack and Decay times. Envelopes can be automatically looped and the function curve type changed between exponential and linear."

New Eurorack Maker Omsonic Labs

Omsonic, know for their circuit bent creations, is entering the eurorack market. Pictured below is their first module, the VCF-1, a sallen key type vcf, followed by an LFO prototyping video.

1978 Starkey Laboratories Hearing Science Laboratory HSL II Synthesizer SN 8011003

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

via this auction

"Up for auction is a used Starkey Laboratories Hearing Science Laboratory HSL II Synthesizer. This was originally designed to test hearing capabilities. This unit has been kept indoors in a climate controlled environment, and the inside components show no signs of corrosion. I was able to power the unit on and feed music through it. I do not have the proper equipment nor the knowledge to fully test this unit and say that it is in 100% working condition. The unit has some damage on the wood casing and a small dent in the face plate which I have highlighted in the pictures. The face plate could use a slight cleaning, as I do not know what cleaning product to use on it and do not want to ruin anything. Overall this unit is in good condition for being made in 1978."

MOOG ROGUE ANALOG SYNTH SHOWROOM CONDITION SN 8992

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

via this auction

"For sale is a Moog Rogue analog synthesizer in mint condition. I bought it from the original owner about 20 years ago. It was unused when I got it and has been in my studio ever since. Hardly used and never out of the house. Included is the power supply.

This is a real synth, serial number written by hand! Great for bass, sync leads or create effects for sampling. Please be aware that this is not a MIDI synth. To control via MIDI you'll need a CV convertor. Also, these synths have lots of pots, sliders and moving parts. Yearly cleaning/maintenance is essential."

Roland TB 303 Devilfish

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

via this auction

"I bought this unit as a standard TB 303 in about 07 or 08 . Ironically I got it cheap from my housemate because he was behind in rent and 5 years later I am selling it for the same reason.
I posted the 303 to Robin Whittle in Melbourne to have it modified and I seem to remember it cost about 1400 aud / 1000 usd.
Robin returned it to me and I have used it ever since, often clocked by an MPC 1000 or a 60 to at times astounding effect.
You can interesting results with this machine by sending notes from your sequencer into the devilfish WHILE you are also running the devilfish sequencer at the same time AND cycling through all your devilfish stored patterns while your midi note information is playing.
The power supply recommended by Robin Whittle is the one used for old Boss guitar pedals. Check his site at Realworld Interfaces ; it is somewhere there. I use batteries to be on the safe side."

CAIRNS STATE HIGH SCHOOL Roland SH-101 Vintage Synthesiser

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

via this auction

"All sliders, knobs & keys are working perfectly without any noise. The only part that isn't working is the DC power input which is why it was de-registered as school equipment around 10 years ago... little did they know it still works via batteries :) I'm sure this is a very easy fix but i didn't want to try anything myself. There are a few school name & register numbers on the top, back and underneath. The batteries have been in there for over a year now and it's still going! The battery casing is also missing, but these can be picked up online."
