This is an upgraded version of the Roland Alpha Juno-1. It adds an extended, 61 note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, and an external memory cartridge slot. Other than that it has the same great sound and features of the Juno 1. The sliders and buttons were replaced by membrane switches and an "Alpha Dial", which is used to edit and browse through the extensive selection of parameters: DCO digitally controlled oscillators, LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF (filter) with freq/env/res/lfo/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more.

Freeman String Symphonizer SN 40615R

via this auction

"The stringer that started it all! A set of master oscillators slightly detuned from each other gives a lush ensemble effect. Coupled with full polyphony and a spring reverb tank, it's no wonder the Freeman String Symphonizer spawned a string machine revolution.

This unit shows some slight wear typical for an instrument of its age. It has been gone over and had electrolytic capacitors replaced where necessary. Due to the unit's size, it is for local pickup only. Power cord not included, but it uses a regular extension cord."

Roland SH-101 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer (Tubbutec SH-1oh1) with MIDI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"List of mods:

1) Tubbutec SH-1oh1 (adds MIDI, an extra LFO, improved sequencer, and tons of other useful features)

2) VCF FM mod that allows the filter to be modulated by the oscillators’ waveforms, (it sounds amazing)

3) Audio-in mod (allows for processing external audio through filter etc)

4) PWM wave shape sources (allows you to choose how the PWM will be shaped independently of the LFO waveforms), subtle but deep.

5) 3 way LFO speed mod (allows an extended range of frequencies for the LFO, from VERY slow all the way up into the audio range. Speeds are “slow” “normal” and “fast”.

6) LFO clock in mod. (Allows external source to clock LFO

7) VCF in, allows filter to be controlled externally from modular, pedal, etc

8) Envelope follower/ audio to VCF. This allows the audio waveform to shape the filter’s behavior. A very unique and special function that has endless possibilities."

Modded Stylophone Beatbox Drum Synth

"
Stylophone Beatbox Drum Synth Circuit Bend. 2 features added to this little guy. A light dependant resistor has been added to the pitch potentiometer with a flashing light. This mostly seems to effect the sound on the Bass #3 setting, as it creates a subtle tremolo or warble to the note played. The LED on the side is an indicator for the added potentiometer control on the front which adjusts the speed of the light and resistor inside (changes the rate of modulation of the "warble"). It doesn't effect settings #1 or 2 as noticeably, but some shifting in pitch is noticable for some samples. The under side of the machine is white, so ambient light effects this feature. The effect is more noticable when shielded from outside light. Covering the bottom with dark tape or paint would help block that more permanently.

The other addition is a red momentary switch/button on the side that starts and stops the record feature. This allows you to start/step recording with one hand while the other plays the instrument. Normally you have to use the stylus to start and stop recording AND play manually the pattern being recorded. The standard method makes it almost impossible to record without pauses at start and end of sequence."

Haken Continuum / EaganMatrix Vocal Processing - Making of a Dalek

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"Presenting the basics of simple vocal effect processing in the EaganMatrix using the Slim Continuum in this case. Here showing how to create a Dalek-like ring modulated vocal effect using the EaganMatrix Multipler. For Continuum and A/D converter is required. For the soon to be released EaganMatrix (Eurorack) Module, you will be able to send analog audio directly into the EaganMatrix for processing."

10 Recipes for Noise (ft. Befaco Noise Plethora and Percall)

video upload by Red Means Recording Ambient

"Noise can be a useful tool in synthesis, and even more so in the sandbox that is Eurorack and modular. In this video we'll use the Befaco Noise Plethora and Percall to cook up some patches which feature noise. Befaco sent me these modules, but they have not sponsored this video. I just think noise is cool and I'm trapped in the Matrix and the algorithm is slowly eating away at my soul."
