Other modules will be shown in next videos (3 VCOs, 4 dual VCAs, 2 moog ladder VCFs, 2 LFOs, 3 ADSRs, VC Phaser, VC Delay, Divider, Sample & Hold, CV Lag, 2 Inverters, 4 channel mixer, Ring Modulator, Noise generator).
Welcome to Sbranvlztronics

Braids (take 2)
Published on Nov 19, 2017 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson
"We’re testing Braids for the first time. The rest of the team was initially unsure what to make of the new rack-mounted friends, but they’re quickly becoming friends.
Kastle lays down the drone while the PO-12 Rhythm handles the click-track syncing and the beats. SQ-1 listens to the clicks and commands the 0-Coast and Braids on time and in tune. The Wasp wasps."

JVC KB-700 features and demo
Published on Nov 18, 2017 Daniel Arena
"JVC KB700 (also sold as Lowrey Micro Genie V120).
Super weird mid 80's organ:
Solo section (square-wave + discrete VCF)
Poly section (divide-down? but phasey? there's a bunch of mysterious ASICs in there so it could be anything + Paraphonic VCF, subtle stereo spread + ensemble effects)
Analog + discrete drum machine
Bass synth
Bunch of other weird crap.
Sketchy weird beastie of a thing. Does some cool stuff though.
Obvious low-stress (and probably reversible) mods available for drum triggers and some VCF params. Medium-stress mods likely for loads of other stuff.
Some reverb added, no other effects. Apologies for the gross playing, I'm not really a keyboard player."
There was only one other post featuring the KB-700 here.
Dave Burraston aka noyzelab on How to Get Into Modular Synths w/o Going Broke
For those interested noyzelab has a post up on how to get into modular synths w/o going broke. It features references and notes from his recent talk at unsound adelaide 2017.
"some notes / refs for my talk at unsound adelaide 2017 on how to get into modular synthesis without going broke in the process. there's obviously a strong emphasis on cheap / diy / open source as an entry point to modular.."
"Dave Burraston is an Australian experimental musician, who has worked with a diverse range of artists from Chris Watson to Aphex Twin via Oren Ambarchi. A self-confessed gearhead, among his many accomplishments is the publication of SYROBONKERS!, the most technical interview ever given by Aphex Twin. Today he discusses how to get into modular synthesis - with a particular emphasis on not going broke!"
Roland Model 101 Vintage Monophonic Synthesizer from 1975 SN 500971

via this auction
This one sold for $1000. It was sent in by the seller, but it was sold before I got to this post. I thought I would capture it on the site for posterity. :) If the sale falls through I'll put a new post up.
"Roland System 100 Model 101 Synthesizer from 1975. This is a true, vintage analogue synth that has a huge sound and vintage tone that simply isn't available in modern analogues. It has patch points along various points of the signal path that makes it a great companion to a modular system. I would frequently use it as a 3rd oscillator for my modular or use a Mutable Instruments Peaks for a snappier envelope than the built in one. It has patch points for CV and Gate and it responds to 1v/Oct, so you can control it with any standard MIDI to CV controller or from a modular without any conversion.
Lots of possibilities on this synth, much more than other vintage monosynths. Of course, you can pair it with the other components of the System 100 (Model 102, Model 104, etc.) system to add a second voice, sequencer and more.
The synth is fully functional. All the keys work, all the sliders and knobs work fine."
