"Demo of E-MU Emulator 3 EIII Sequencer track from news channel"

Worth the wait.

via this auction

"We are selling our E-MU Emulator. It works, and appears to have been owned by a television station in its past. The sequencer has music from news segments and olympic coverage programmed. It has quite a few classic E-MU sounds saved in its banks including some nice strings, drums, electric guitars, and entire bank of dogs barking and panting.

It turns on, boots up, and plays. I have not tried to use the floppy drive, but it makes noise and the light flashes. The contrast knob is missing, but can be easily turned without the knob attached. There is some faint digital noise when it is on at higher volumes. It has not been restored, but it has been well cared for."

Arp Axxe SN 040

via this auction

"Own a piece of synthesizer history!! For sale is a clean condition Arp Axxe synth! Great analog mono synth with one oscillator and very similar to the Arp Odyssey.

It is a very clean board with very few marks on the body. Wood side panels in great condition for its age and corner shown in picture shows the general light wear on all 8 corners and may be able to be cleaned up with a wood conditioner of some sort. Very close to collector's condition cosmetically. Half of the keys are yellowed due to the age of the board.

All notes play, and most of the controls work but the ADSR circuit will need repair. However, great refurb kits are available here on eBay and I don't want to do the repair myself. I'm positive the refurb kits will restore this synth to factory values to produce even better sounds than it does now as well as more precise control over the filtering and tonal sections.

Price reflects the condition of this board, and any experienced tech will be able to bring this board back to studio quality in no time!"

bitrman cv mod demo

Published on Jan 18, 2017 Brian Comnes

"Add CV to Alesis ModFX Bitrman. BEcause internal voltages are 0-3VDC, I had to add a simple voltage divider to reduce the sent voltage not to exceed 3 volts. Very simple with a 10K resistor on the + pole jooined by a 15K resistor from the negative pole. Then detach the center pins of the two pots for Bitr and Phasor and rout in the external voltage. Quite simple actually. Enjoy!! Sorry for low volume audio."
