Ploytec PL2 Logos Prototype Board on Kickstarter

Ploytec has launched the PL2 Logos prototype board on Kickstarter here. You can find two previous videos below this post in the archives here.

"At Superbooth19 in Berlin we showed a sample of the PL2 Logos prototype board. This PCB makes it a lot easier to translate English text to the allophones needed for Ploytec PL2 based speech synthesis (which is CTS256-AL2 / SP0256-AL2 emulation).

On the board, a PL2 synthesizer is already integrated, so there's no need for a separate PL2 (though it's always good to have some of those).

The included USB keyboard allows entering text, and to store / recall text from memory using function keys. Each function key can hold up to 39 letters in up to six rows.

Via the integrated USB MIDI it's possible to capture and playback the MIDI notes triggering the words. On top, you can record the many MIDI notes representing allophones, to a DAW.

Please note: The knob will be most likely missing on the final board, as it never had any functionality and is not necessary for operation.

Risks and challenges

As the technology is basically working, the task to be done is bug fixing, creating firmware update functionality, changing the PCB to potentially fit into an existing case (not included!) and getting a bunch of PCBs manufactured."

Moog One Patches

Published on May 31, 2019 Jyoti Mishra

"These patches are the result of a week with my newest synth, the Moog One. It's a wildly powerful synthesizer, the most powerful polysynth I've ever encountered. I can't wait to get to know it better!"

Buchla Music Easel 218R 208R rev1 in Haliburton Case

via this auction

"Buchla Easel Clone rev 1. It is powered and housed in a Zero Halliburton case. It was repurposed from a former photographer and you can see some notes on the inside of the top case. The wiring for the case has not been finished or started. It is a larger case with the idea that you could put 1-200 module next to the 218r (again not finished). The Easel itself (218r 208r) is powered. The IEC power cable comes out the back. The Synth sounds fantastic and is very much alive. The bass is insane! Reverb is dark... I like the "swampy" sound of the rev 1. This was supposedly built by Roman but I can't prove that. FULL DISCLOSURE --- Other things to note, all of the sequencer notes light up but the step it is on lights up brighter. Tracking over 3 octaves can sometimes go out of tune (probably would benefit a calibration but it is not necessary). Sometimes the pulsar does not trigger when you self trigger it (this is a known issue with some REV 1). Includes Pomona Cables and Banana short plugs. Everything you need to get started."

Roland Juno-106 w/ Original Box and Manuals

via this auction

SN appears to be 469684

"This 106 is in great condition and was clearly sitting in the (included) box for quite some time. It does suffer from the faded blue buttons which are now more of a greenish hue, so it must have been in a window for a little bit of time, but the printing is all perfect and the keys are super white! A few of the keys do have some light scratching which is some of the most significant wear present. As far as the sound goes this synth sounds great and is all original, there are no issues with the voice chips. Finally, the original box, manual, patch sheets, and power cable are all included, a rare sight indeed. This is a cool chance to get a really clean JUNO-106!"
