A Modular Birthday Card
Thought this was pretty cool.
via It's Full of Stars:
"Look my friend Richard drew a picture of my studio for my birthday card! Thanks Rich, I love it - I'm going to print it out and put it up on the wall next to my Moog"

"This Biscuit is in pristine condition and working perfectly. Does not include original box but does come with manual, preset sheet, Der Oto mask, and original power supply. This is a truly unique effects unit that does things that don't necessarily fall into any traditional effects category. It also can be used as a synthesizer with 8 step sequencer thanks to Der Oto firmware update. Fantastic build quality, handmade in France..."

Mutable Instruments Clouds processing PAIA 5700 and Friends
Published on Dec 29, 2015 Paul Wilkens
"Using Mutable Instruments Clouds in Parasite Mode 2 to create a Drone with Twangy undertones
Using Epoch Benjolin and Random Source to trigger 4ms PEG. Using Qu-Bit Nano Rand, 4ms PEG to trigger Random Source. Sputnik Quad function trigger& Verbos Mutistage going into Mutable Clouds and PAIA 9700s for modulation. All sound going into PAIA then Clouds to Melekko Mix4 to audio mixer."

"Using the motor as a sound source, changing the motor speed, passing the sound through the amplification circuit, overdriving the amplification circuit, using the motor control chip's unused outputs to modulate the motor speed."
Olegtron CONFUSOR Eurorack Demo Jam (w/ Bastl GrandPa & more ...) #TTNM
Published on Dec 29, 2015
"Jamming with the Olegtron CONFUSOR eurorack module...
The Olegtron CONFUSOR is a 4x4 manual switch module, which lets you route four normalled inputs to four separate outputs. The signal path is not immediately obvious though (although not hard to understand), which makes it a very fun "semi-random" performance module. You know what you put into it, but you don't necessarily know where the things come out ;-) ...
Audio gear used:
- Eurorack Modular Synthesizer (with Olegtron Confusor, Bastl Instruments GrandPa, intellijel Quadra, Synthrotek EKO, Doepfer Phase Shifter, Klangbau Köln Spring Reverb, Klangbau Logistische Gleichung, and more ... )
- Korg Volca Beats (drum machine)
- Tascam DR-40 Recorder"

"Beautiful Oberheim Matrix 6 synthesizer in nearly mint condition. 100% working order. Nice fat analog Oberheim sound. Included is the original Owner's Manual and rare Oberheim footswitch. I'll also throw in in an extra CEM voice chip and a PDF version of a long out-of-print book called 'Oberheim Matrix-6, Getting The Most Out of Yours' which is essential to understanding the secrets of programming this powerful synth."

Ciat-Lonbarde Tocante - Zenert PHASHI solar powered synth
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"this is a small electronic instrument powered by solar energy... you can use it just about anywhere... and is a fantastic electronic object to play. take a search for "ciat lonbarde" and you will find some of the most unique instruments in the vein of the baschet brothers or the history of synths... these folks are magicians with low brow materials. there are three versions of the tocante - this one is the PHASHI...
here's some info:
Zenert is a simple name, deriving from the source of its noise, a zener diode, and the spectral flavoring applied by a simple resonant circuit, the twin-t. Its operation diverges from the previous Tocante pieces, where finger-touch simply connected oscillator outputs to an amplifier. In Zenert, finger-touch injects the zener noise into the inputs of the flavoring circuits. So instead of a number of discrete symbols at its rim, Zenert has a band of copper tracing, scripted to mimic the waveform of noise. The inner nodes, for circuit bending on Thyris, Bistab and Phashi, are now the injection points for each resonance. The resonators on Zenert share the same tuning-by-capacitor scheme, establishing continuity with the previous ones. Thus Tocante shares a two-faced nature with its nemesis, Ieaskul F. Mobenthey; looking backward to previous designs for the general framework and manifesto, but looking forward to new ways to break out of the mold.
The Tocante line of musical instruments is "about" and "touching" the materials of electronics. Each touchpad represents a pitch according to industry "preferred numbers," chosen by old wartime engineers for non-musical purposes. Here they form a unique and haunting musical scale, not unlike that of a gamelan or the neutral intervals of Persian music. Beyond these base pitches, three golden sandrodes flank each touchpad; touching these androgynous nodes yields intermodulation, pitch and timbral shifts, and emergent chaotic masses. The instruments come in three flavors: thyris the triangle, bistab the square, and phashi the circle. The oscillators sound like a bowed string, a most powerful clarinet, and a howling serene whistle, respectively. Each responds to touch differently. Solar panels charge the onboard batteries, that power the oscillators and a speaker. They are the perfect self-contained instrument for nightly music at the campground.
Technical Details
-Dimensions: 28x8x2 centimeters.
-Range: 24 notes, four octaves.
-Power: 6x300mah NiMH cells.
-Diffusion: 0.5watt speaker.
-Output: 3.5mm mono audio jack.
-Cloudy Day: 2.1mm tip-positive 12vdc power jack (not included)."
