Little Drummers | Basimilus Iteritas Alter + 0-Ctrl
Cinematic Laboratory
"Today I wanted to revisit the BIA, zero-controlled by the MakeNoise 0-Ctrl. It's a great module for creating individual high quality percussion sounds. You can also turn it into an Arcade machine when you throw a lot of CV at it (especially with a 0-ctrl center), but that will make it extremely digital. Adding a LPG will do wonders, especially the old ones from Doepfer and MakeNoise because they have that magical vactrol sound. The trick is to mult the trigger to an AD(SR) envelope/LPG and sculpt the BIA with it. A VCFA will also work very well, even a low pass filter.
In the end I added another little drummer, the mighty DFAM. However, I did not use it as a percussion voice but as a Robert #Fripp (Velvet Underground, Bowie, David Sylvian) guitar. Wow, this brings back good memories. DFAM is a complex oscillator with a great filter and sequencer, with probably many millions of different sounds, blips, hits and voices hiding it it."

FrankenMusik
"Demo video of my new design for 2021. Two oscillators with independent controls, 16 - point patch bay for mixing and blending the two frequencies via a binary counter. All kinds of glitches, blips and noise generation! 1/4" out jack, on/off switch, starve control for tweaking the frequencies."

"NEW - FrankenMusik Glitch Tree Drone Synth
Two Oscillators
Output level control
Main power on/off switch
1/4" output jack
Starve control with on/off switch
16 - point patch bay (4 out signal jacks, 12 in jacks)
9VDC, negative tip regulated power supply required (not included)
2 - 15 cm white patch cable to get you started!
Nice drone with two oscillators. The output signal can be routed via 4 Out jacks to any one of 12 In jacks. These 12 Inputs are connected to a 12 point binary counter where they jumble up and mix the oscillator frequencies. This generates lots of glitches, noise, blips and harsh analog joy!
The Starve control chokes off the power for the two oscillators and adds some extra tweaking ability. The adjustment an effect of this depends on connection between any of the 16 point matrix.
Output level control, 1/4" standard mono output jack fro connector to your amp, mixer, rig, fx, etc...
All hand made and build, pcb is etched, all new electrical components, aluminum enclosure is etched and roughed up for a nice unique look - covered with a clear satin acrylic paint.
Layout diagram with control labels is supplied also for reference."

TRANSCENDENT 2000 ANALOG SYNTH by TIM ORR of EMS

via this auction
You can find a demo video of this auctual synth here.
"The T2000 was sold only in kit form and this unit has been very well constructed (see interior photo) with a nice style of large knurled control knobs chosen, and unusually a small Roland style knob added to what is usually just the stump of a potentiometer for overall tuning.
Although this unit has never been anywhere near Martin Hannett or any member of Joy Division or New Order AFAIK, it was the unit featured in the book "Analog Synthesizers" (2nd Edition 2019, pp. 364-5) and for many sounds on the CD "Sequencer Loops" (2002) by Mark Jenkins of which a brand new copy is included.

Weltmeister Basset

Some pics of the inside below.
"The Weltmeister Basset , sometimes referred to as the Weltmeister Combo Bass, was the first keytar! This rare "Cold War" electro-mechanical keyboard instrument was made from 1963 to 1969 by accordion manufacturer, Weltmeister, in East Germany. It was practically impossible to get one in the US.
The battery-powered Basset was popular in the 1960s and early 1970s with East German dance bands. Its mechanical piano action was derived from its big brother, the Weltmeister Claviset. Pressing a key causes the lip of a rubber disc to pluck the tine. When the key is released, the sound is stopped by a foam damper. A warning label in German, Cyrillic Russian, and English warns of "danger of life" if you connect it to a radio or an amplifier with AC-DC!"
