Like a little white UFO robot.

"The MJ-12 is a 3d printed synth designed and handmade by me.

Apart from looking adorable this synth is super simple to play and has a huge range of sounds.
All is required to get started is a USB power supply(PC or phone battery packs are perfect) and something to to hear the sounds, this can be as simple as a set of headphones or an amplifier. A speaker with an aux input is perfect.

The MJ-12 has three controls, The first varies the frequency of the output, the second modulates the output and the third shifts the frequency the 2nd 3rd and the 4th waveform to be slightly off tone.

Stats:
Output: 3.5mm socket (Use with earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier)
Power: USB (Plug into a computer, phone charger or wall socket). No internal battery.
Case: 3D printed ABS"

Buchla USA Revisiting 100 Series in 2019?

This one spotted by Soviet Space Child.

Note the system in the background. Buchla started in the 1960s with the 100 series, followed by the 200 series in 1970. The new 200e from Don Buchla arrived in 2004. BEMI took over and re-released an updated version of the Buchla Music Easel and various systems and modules. BEMI then of course became Buchla USA. You can read a condensed history of Buchla on Wikipedia here.

Of course it could just be a Calandar.

It's worth noting, if you are into eurorack, Catalyst Audio currently makes a eurorack system based on the the Buchla 100 series.

Published on Oct 25, 2018 Nu-Trix The Synth Guy

"Roland has created a great drum machine with the TR-8. They also listened to user's feedback and came up with the TR-8S. What's the difference?
Together we will compare the 2 devices and listen to the TR-8S sounds."
