"This model D sounds great and is in superb condition, has the 2nd revision oscillator board. Was calibrated and tuned recently, all the wood paneling is in good shape.
Unfortunately some of the pots are needing serviced most work fine but some cut out at certain points on the dial, after using the synth for 3 hours recently they did start to improve, so I assume the tracks in them are just dirty, this has to be taken in to consideration before purchase. Note not all of them need cleaning most noticeable is the 2nd oscillator volume, mod wheel and the filter, many of the pots work fine."
The title of this post is from the eBay auction, not me, but yeah, this would be a pretty nice present.
"All Keys work, all voices sound, all sliders and pots function, and the ribbon controller is fully functional. It is in the process of being calibrated and tuned. This is a fairly tedious process, but i feel that it should be as close as possible to 100%. At the moment, a couple of the presets have a volume drop, but the calibration process should remedy that. I will include print outs of the user manual, service manual, board layouts with board schematics, and a poster sized overall schematic."
"The TB2 is a 4 voice paraphonic wavetable synth shield for the Arduino Due development board. The TB2 features 2 oscillators per voice, an ADSR envelope, LFO, digital filter, arpeggiator, as well as a 16-step sequencer.
For sound generation, the TB2 makes use of the pair of 12-bit DACs built into the Arduino Due’s 32 bit ARM processor. The TB2 uses an SD card for storing patches and sequences, and it also allows the user to load single cycle waveshapes for the two oscillators and the LFO.
Comes with power supply and 8GB sd card.
Quarter firmware."
"Easel =CV, Blippoo=Audio. By sending the Buchla Easel's Sequential Voltage Source (SVS) to the Blippo Box it acts as a very rough/rudimentary preset sequencer. The first part of the video explores the various "settings" available from a single slider. Later explorations sequence diverse slider settings."

The Hornet and Hornet Pro are intuitive and playable digital theremins perfect for noise artists, improvising musicians and anyone interested in sound or performance."
Some additional info from the crowdfunder page:
"The Hornet is a synthesizer with gestural control. Every Hornet has a voice switch and a mode switch, as well as speed and decay controls, to give you loads of sounds to explore.
Its a kind of theremin - a musical instrument that you play by moving your hand above it in space. The Hornet uses the same method of gestural control as the original Theremin, an instrument designed by Russian inventor Lev Termen in the early 1900s. However the Hornet is digital and updates the idea with many more sound options and possibilities.
Hornet also comes in a Pro version, which adds CV/Gate inputs so you can control it from your analog sequencer and sync it to your computer as seen in the main video. You can control pitch, note length and speed, and temporarily override your sequence at any time by turning the speed dial or putting your hand in the sensor beam."
"My mate tribeline went over to get his hands on the new ipad lemur controller i use now together with the rheyne jammer to control ableton live. So enjoy his first steps on way to much hardware :)"
