"Very rare vintage Korg Minipops 7 drum machine. Excellent working order. All faders, pots, buttons and rhythms work exactly as they should. Comes with original vinyl cover (unfortunately someone has cut the cover around the handle of the machine to allow carrying while cover is on). This is the type used by Jean-Michel Jarre and Suicide.

In exceptional cosmetic condition. The only flaws are only visible on very close inspection - a few minute grains of corrosion in the annodised face of the machine. The body - top, sides and base are close to perfect.

Machine allows you to combine 2 separate rhythms at once"

5U // Corsynth - C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier

Published on Jun 2, 2016 DiscoverNoise

"DiscoverNoise 043-
5U 011-

Here is the demo of the Corsynth C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier in 5U (MU). A lovely module to get some bangs into your modular sound. Shown here are all inputs and probably most of the combinations of multiply and divide. Tested was this module with a sine, saw and square wave coming from the CotK C921B (see my demo *cough*).

Roland MC-202 Sequencing (With Elements & DPO)

Published on Jun 2, 2016 11brassmonkey11

"I was kindly lent a Roland MC-202 for the week and I finally got some time to work out how this thing operates!

Here is me working out how to input a couple of basic riffs and sequencing some external euro rack gear (notably the Make Noise DPO and Mutable Instruments Elements).

It's a quirky little thing with that classic Roland sound. Although sequencing this is at times very frustrating, the 202 really excels at putting odd rhythmic ideas and what not (not demonstrated here)"
