via this auction

"in excellent condition, made from a vintage Commodore 64 case that will have minor wear due to its age.

**This is a rare custom designed synth made from a Commodore 64 case and that uses 2 SID 8580 chips.
its got a ton of power and features. killer synth for chip tune.

fast and hands-on with heaps of crazy features (3-way-polyphony, wavetables, triggers, special drum engine, bassline engine, etc).

The sound chips are the later SID 8580 (from the mid 80s original C64s), much better than the earlier 6581 ones the SID station uses. It can combine waveforms, like TRI+PULSE, SAW+PULSE, etc, the old ones couldn't do it. Gives it a much wider sound spectrum.

it has two independent SIDs, each with own MIDI channel and seperate audio outs, so one can do a bassline and the other can do skanks for instance while you can tweak both in realtime, with the knobs or MIDI controllers."

"Everything works as it should. It should be noted, however, that the sliders are quite stiff/gunky and will need to be cleaned or replaced (they do function correctly though.) Also, the sliders in the step section are missing their respective caps (slider caps are easily sourced in light of Korg reproducing the Oddy)...

Here are some specs:

'This sequencer is packed full of features as is a must have piece to accompany an ARP 2600, TTSH, Eurorack or any other 1V/octave modular synths.

Some of the major features:

1x16 step sequencer or 2x8 step sequencers

3 gate outputs selectable per step

Selectable step or random sequencing

Internal or external clocking

2 built in quantizers

Transposable via quantizer CV Input

Foot switch start/stop control

Passive multiples'"

Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR) Tutorial #1 -- 1V/Octave outputs in firmware v5


Published on Dec 14, 2016 4mspedals

"Tutorial Video #1 in a series for the SMR from 4ms Company.

This covers the 1V/octave output mode, which is a new feature in firmware v5. Six VCOs are being controlled by the SMR, using the Spectral's built-in scales and tunings. This shows how the SMR can be used as an sequencer, arpeggiator, and chord machine using up to 6 VCOs, which adds 6 analog or digital voices to the system, tracked to the system.

Hold down ROTATE while you flip the Env switch to "Fast" to enable the Env Outs jacks to output 1V/octave CV on these jacks. Then patch the Env Out jacks into the 1V/OCT jack of your VCOs (up to 6 VCOs). Use each VCO's Frequency knob to tune it to the associated SMR channel. You can then run the VCOs into a mixer, or through effects etc if you like. All VCOs will track perfectly with your SMR!"

via this auction

"A custom modded Roland TR-8. I personally custom modded this TR-8 with orange and white led's. If you would like different colored led's, like blue or more orange, please let me know and I can swap them out.

Replacing the led's is very difficult, but I have the skills to do it.

This unit includes a synthgraphics 909 overlay attached permanently.

Custom 909 knobs AND 2 ORIGINAL 909/707 knobs on the scatter and tempo knob to give it a more official look.

Border trim has been spray painted to grey to match the 909 overlay.

Original adapter and instruction manual will be provided.

This item has been used, but works 100%. Will be factory restored before shipping."

Roland Juno 106 S w/ Brand New Speakers

via this auction

"This is a somewhat rare Juno in that the S models have speakers! New speakers have been replaced with 200 watt Pyles, and this thing sounds amazing! It's very loud and you can actually hear bass compared to the stock ones. it's loud enough to keep up with a band (depending on how loud your drummer is playing of course.) but it also has the same exact stereo outs, midi, and all the other specs of a normal 106. Everything works perfectly, no issues at all. The front has some scratches but overall this synth is near flawless. This is also a Japanese model that requires 100v. I am also including a step down converter with the synth for use in the U.S."
