via this auction

"This listing is for one extremely rare Paia "The Drum" 5700P Analog Percussion Synthesizer. It is essentially a cab filled with 4 identical modules that can generate a sound that is suited to percussive analog tones. It can be triggered via any sound source, including other drums, eurorack, a drum machine, etc. (voltage trigger OR audio into the 1/4" jack). Each voice also has CV in that tracks across a few octaves so they can also be used as a stand-alone synth voice for basslines, melodies, etc. if so desired.

The sound can be described as very raw and weighty, similar to other early analog percussion units like the Simmons SDSV and 808. This unit works very well for it's age, though some pots/switches could use some cleaning."

Arturia MiniBrute 2-First bass sound and unpacking

Published on Jul 16, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Just the new week began with a new delivery from ARTURIA, a French company of software and analog synthesizers.
The box was the newest synthesizer Arturia-MiniBrute 2.
This is a semi modular analogue synthesizer that is the successor of the MiniBrute, offering more Brute power than ever before. MiniBrute 2 produces a huge analog sound, equipped with two thick oscillators, which form the core that shapes the sound. Arturia MiniBrute 2 offers a multifilter, ADSR envelope generator and Brute Factor.
The integrated step sequencer and arpeggiator make rhythmic creation easier, while the new modulation matrix opens up many possibilities.
It offers two oscillators with waveforms and shaping: Sawtooth, Ultrasaw, Square, Pulse, Triangle, Metalizer, Sine, Noise, external signal, Fine, Coarse. VCO1 also has a metalizer, pulse width and FM knobs for adjusting and composing sound and a lot more great features but its great advantage is the 48 Point Patchbay which gives you the opportunity to connect to the world of modular and patching the sound in itself.
Arturia offered great opportunities, again giving a great synth with the possibility of getting to know the semi-modular world."
