"Rare PAiA 2720 modular synthesizer. I bought this one from Robert Rich a long time ago (https://robertrich.com/).
I am selling it untested. It is my understanding that it was working before I bought it, but it was built from a kit, so I am not making any guarantees about condition. it is missing some screws, has some rusty screws and spots, and the case around the pitch knob is loose.
from: encyclotronic.com
'The Paia 2720 Synthesizer was a self contained modular synthesizer that you could build from a kit and add modules and features as desired. It was advertised heavily in many electronic magazines and and as a featured article in them. the instrument being modular made it extremely flexible and cost effective for musicians to get into synthesizers. Paia founder John Simonton published a series of articles on the 2700 series in Radio Electronics during it's time.
It has a single Voltage control oscillator with Ramp, triangle, pulse or pulse width. It also has a EG aka in Paia lingo as Function Generator.
With manual trigger button and attack and decay, and variable attenuator. 2 filters one low pass and the other bandpass with resonance control.
Additionally there is a Low Frequency Oscillator and Voltage controlled Amplifier, a 3 octave keyboard with glide control and pitch transpose with two trigger outs and one control voltage out.'"

Wave folder
Published on Mar 5, 2018 organfairy
"Jump to 4:34 to avoid the annoying artificial saxophones.
Lately I have been trying to make things I haven't made before - something else than sequencers, VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, etc.
I have never tried making a wave folder before. As a matter of fact until recently I didn't know what a wave folder is. But I found a good explanation somewhere - the one with the folded paper - and decided that this could be interesting.
The music is something I made on Technics SX-C600 and Yamaha HE-8 organs, and the Roland CR-68 drum machine made the rhythm."
Mutable Instruments Peaks Overview
Published on Mar 5, 2018 once upon a synth
"Quick tour of the Mutable Instruments Peaks eurorack module. I go over the basics of the front panel then do a rapid fire demo of all its 8 different functions. The peaks is an LFO, ADSR envelope generator, Tap tempo LFO, drum synth, mini sequencer, trigger delay and trigger randomizer. It's a swiss army knife module that is very versatile."
Do You Like Our Owl? - Moog Mother 32, OP-1, Bastl Granny and Korg 05R/W
Published on Feb 24, 2018 Lowering Skies
"There's no hope in the future. Only rain and neon sparks in the night.
The background pads are coming from Yamaha DX7, processed with Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch and then played with granulation using Bastl Granny 2.0
OP-1 is responsible for FM Brass sound and drums.
The background sequence is coming from Moog's Mother 32 — nothing fancy, just a sequencer playing notes in sync with the background pads.
Korg 05R/W holds most of the melody and I must say it's an amazing artifact from the past, capable not only bringing the 80s sound but also gives a highly dense atmosphere even using stock presets."
