KORG Introduces White "Monotone" MS-20 Mini


Two-tone, actually, considering the black side panels, bender and lower case.

"The KORG MS-20 mini is now available as a limited-edition white monotone variation model. This model is the first new color to appear in the nearly 40 years since the original unit went on sale in 1978. Based on the black that is emblematic of the MS-20's distinctive presence, this new model features a clean white monotone for its front panel and knobs, while retaining the faithful circuitry, 5-pin MIDI, and USB MIDI of the black MS-20 mini. Combining a completely new freshness together with a vintage feel that befits the MS-20 as the original semi-modular synthesizer, this limited-edition model will be a great way to add classic MS-20 sounds to any setup!

Features:
Overseen by the engineers of the original MS-20; a complete replication of the original analog circuitry
2 VCO / 2 VCA / 2 VCF / 2 EG / 1 LFO structure
Self-oscillating high-pass / low-pass filters with distinctive distortion
External signal processor (ESP)
Extremely flexible patching system
Replicates every detail of the original, down to the package binding and the included manual"

Introducing DNGR:TECH 12UFO Eurorack Portable Flight Case


"'Dangerous Technologies' or DNGR:TECH is happy to introduce "12UFO" - a Portable 12U*104HP Eurorack Flight Case.

DNGR:TECH's modular cases are well-engineered, carefully assembled by hand from the highest quality of materials, and are symbolized by minimalist aesthetics to bringing focus solely on sound design - hidden screws and simple straight lines combined with the raw natural wood are the key elements in the design.

12UFO by DNGR:TECH is a 12U*104 HP eurorack modular portable flight case with integrated switched power supply solution with the following specs: +12V @ 4A, -12V @ 2A, onboard VGreg provides +5V from +12V bus. Head to motovilo.com for additional details regarding power supply.

Main features:
- Adjustable detachable angle lid stand which allows two opened lid positions: 100° and 120°.
- Integrated dimmable LED strip. LED dimmer is presented on a separate PCB with a separate voltage regulator. LED strip can be completely turned off with a potentiometer set all the way CCW. No additional wall warts will be required as well - the power for the LED will be routed from the main DC power jack via a pair of Y-cables.
- Power supply boards and busboards are mounted with screws completely hidden.
- Lightweight construction - powered case weight without modules: 7.5 kg.

Modular Patch
Rene driving STO, Rubicon
Sequencer 1 driving Pittsburgh Osc
Rubicon SYM full positive FM’d by STO SIN to TZFM LIN (slightly) modulated by Octocontroller S&H, Pittsburgh TRI to EXP dynamically (trig by Seq1 to Dual ADSR to uVCA)
SIN to Timbre modulated by Octocontroller TRI LFO to Optomix enveloped by Maths (trig Rene) FALL modulated by Sequencer 1

During the wiggling:
ADSR (D and R), Rubicon EXP FM are tickled as well as Maths A and D
Rene pattern is changed (steps 5 & 7 are added and taken away)
When the Rat gets unleashed on the Avalon I also plugged a cable from the STO SUB to the Rubicon hard SYNC for extra-harmonic-y goodness
The slowing down at the end is a combination of manually attenuating the SYM and TZFM"

"A quick play with the patterns created on the Circuit (1.4). Apart from a few samples every sound comes from the Circuit. No EQ, compression or external FX. Some limiting applied to the whole audio.

This little thing is good and what`s more important - gives a lot of fun :)"

Some great shots in this set.

"If you've ever dreamed of a dark analog sound from the Cold War times, here it is.
Lay back and listen to its sound demos: Dropbox

Faemi-1M (Russian: Фаэми-1М) is a full analog polysynth that was made in the USSR from the late 70s to the late 80s. This is one of the last released models (1987) with the latest revisions.
The synth is a predecessor of a famous Soviet "military synthesizer" Polivoks. Both synths were produced on Formanta radio factory in Kachkanar, Russia.

The synth features:
4-octave keyboard
Main VCO
LFO with ADSR envelope
Resonance filter
VCA
The control panel has 5 sections: voltage controlled oscillator, timbre, vibrato, filter, voltage controlled amplifier.
Controls parameters:
Oscillator: sustain, tuning, glide
Timbre: 4 waveforms (imitating piano, strings, clavinet, brass) that can be mixed together with different levels
Vibrato (LFO): frequency, depth, attack delay
Filter: attack, decay, sustain, release, cutoff, resonance, modulation
Amplifier: volume

I've done full maintenance and repairs of the inside electronics:
All dried electrolytic capacitors are replaced with modern ones
Circuit board tracks that were damaged by oxidation are rebuilt with solder and patches
Keys trigger contacts and potentiometers (knobs) are cleaned up so pressing/turning causes no cracks and pops
The synth was designed for use with European 220 V, 50 Hz electrical grid, so you will need a transformer if you're running on a different voltage/frequency. Using it in a lower voltage (i.e. American 110 V) will most likely cause problems in operation."

Vintage Roland Juno 106 Analog Synth SN 494113 w/ Blue LEDs & Original Box

"Its in FANTASTIC condition, no rust just a couple of paint chips on the back corner. All of the artwork is there and looks great. No scratchy pots for they have been cleaned. All of the black coating was removed from all voice chips, and the old pins were replaced with super high quality gold plated pins, and there are super high quality sockets. Now if any of the voice chips EVER go bad all you have to do is pop it open and pull out the bad chip. New blue LED's, because they look awesome. The numeric display, the "A" preset LED and one of the chorus' were kept red. I think it looks cooler with a mix of both colors. The original battery has been replaced with a new one and a socket so if the battery ever goes out, just pull the battery and pop a new one in.

The listing also includes the original box! The fact that this still exist is crazy to me. It is in pretty rough shape with ware on the corners and some rips but all the artwork is there and there is even a sticker with matching serial number on the sides. The previous owner bought it brand new in the 80's and kept the box around. One of the inside flaps read "christmas tree" so I guess it used to store a tree, lol. Regardless its cool."
