Patch of patches | Drone d'AF Air à Bougue
Published on Jan 26, 2016 Matthew Tyas
"A modular dream with 3 DIY axoloti boxes communicating with each other. The sound is straight out of the last box in the chain (one goes into to the other). The only mastering processing used is a limiter. All sounds and effects created by axoloti (http://axoloti.com)"

Roland TB 303 with a Korg KaossDJ & Volca Beats
Published on Jan 26, 2016 DJjondent
"Testing a few combinations - a Volca Beats (modified snare & Midi Sync) and the new Korg Kaoss DJ. The Kaoss DJ is meant to run Serato but I'm using it today in standalone mode. It's a simple 2 channel mixer with Kaoss effects."

Modal Electronics Introduces Modal 008 in a Rack & New IO Board
NAMM 2016 - Modal 008R Analog Poly in a Rack
Published on Jan 25, 2016 sonicstate
"Modal Electronics 008R and the DSP IO board for the 002"
You might have been familiar with the Modal 002 in a rack, but NAMM was the first time we got a look at the all analog Modal 008 in a rack. Check out the Union Jack on its back! Some details and images from Modal Electronics
008R provides eight discrete voices of polyphony with an uncompromising analogue architecture utilising the highest grade components throughout
Two 100% analogue VCO’s per voice with two sub oscillators, providing sawtooth, triangle, square with PWM and noise.
Each of the waveforms can be blended together to provide completely new complex wave shapes
Innovative and extremely flexible 15 multi-mode filter, consisting of traditional modes such as low-pass, band-pass and high-pass as well as more unusual notch, phase and combination modes.
Filter overdrive enables the sound to be driven to sonic extremes
A range of classic analogue polysynth features such as oscillator and filter FM bringing amazing sonic power
Two LFO’s, both capable of reaching audio rates with multiple wave shapes and midi sync
11 modulation sources with unlimited destinations. Each destination can be set its own unique depth, a super smooth sample rate of 10kHz
008R features a range of sequencing options – a built in 2 Track, 12 row, 32 step sequencer with 16 dedicated step time editing knobs on the front panel and MIDI sync capabilities. Sequences can also be transposed dynamically while running
A very highly featured arpeggiator with a wide range of different modes, including ‘hold’ mode, enabling arpeggiator-based sequences to be created
The Modal Electronics Animator, which enables any control parameter on the 008R to be sequenced, enabling very complex filter transisitions, wave form changes and modulation matrix changes to be sequenced

nonlinearcircuits 329 phase flange 1
Published on Jan 25, 2016 cirtcele
"module based on the Aries 329 Phase/Flange. ummmm this thing is fkn great, does so much more than a stand-alone phaser.
Starts with 2 inputs from a Sloth chaos, then it gets some audio rate tri-wave on the 1V/oct input."

Vintage 1960s CHAMBERLIN RHYTHMATE Tape Loop Tube Amp Drum Machine SN 1293

"Vintage 1960s CHAMBERLIN RHYTHMATE Tape Loop Tube Amp Drum Machine. This is something I hate to part with- I will do so only if I can get a strong price for it. If you're looking at this auction, you probably know what this is. It has 14 different tape loops, each of which have 3 different drum patterns. You move the tape head to the desired loop with a lever, and a sub-lever selects between the three different loops on each tape. All 14 tapes are original to the unit, and all are in good playing condition. Below is a video I shot years ago demonstrating this very machine. Please note that it currently does not work quite as well as it did when I made that video. Specifically, the playback speed is rather slow and sluggish. This is due either to a worn rubber wheel or a loose motor shaft, or a combination of both. This is purely a mechanical issue (the speed runs fine when I apply a bit of pressure to the side of the motor shaft), and should be an easy fix for a qualified tech. Also, the reverb knob currently only introduces a buzzing sound. I've never been quite sure if the spring reverb tank was supposed to apply reverb to the drums, or only to the external input on the amp, but I don't recall ever getting it to work properly either way. Again, though, this ought to be an easy enough issue to resolve for a qualified tech. The tape head itself can be a little finicky in terms of getting it to line up perfectly with the desired track while avoiding minor crosstalk with the other tracks, but I suspect this is an issue that's typical for these units. The unit has the typical minor wear and dust for something of its age. If shipped, this item will be double-boxed to ensure safe delivery."

"Good working condition Roland SH-101 with a Roland "lump in line" power supply (my favorite!)"
"Lump in line" meaning the power supply sits between the plug you connect to the synth and the plug you connect to the wall as opposed to a wall wart power supply which takes up more space on your power strip or wall socket.
