BMC114 Diode Break Shaper Schematic Walkthrough
"This module splits a waveform into 5 bands of voltage ranges and then mixes those bands together with attenuverters. The break points between bands can be controlled with external CV. This allows for harmonically complex outputs that remind me of strings and woodwinds.
Compatible with 12V or 15V systems. The Pots are PCB mounted, but all jacks are off-board."

BMC115 Resonance Loop VCF schematic walkthrough
"This is a diode low pass filter with patch points within the resonance path. This allows you to patch the resonance audio path through a filter or VCA to create interesting and complex resonances.
Compatible with 12V or 15V systems. The Pots are PCB mounted, but all other parts are mounted off board."

"Gamechanger Audio Launches the Revolutionary AUTO Series Pedals
Gamechanger Audio’s brand-new pedal line, The AUTO Series, is now available online and across all dealer channels, starting with three classic effect pedals – AUTO Reverb, AUTO Chorus, and AUTO Delay.
ABOUT THE AUTO SERIES
Gamechanger Audio is thrilled to announce the launch of its new AUTO Series. This innovative pedal line features the AUTO Delay, the AUTO Reverb, and AUTO Chorus, designed to revolutionize the way musicians experience and interact with classic audio effects. By introducing a new layer of parameter automation that responds and reacts to the player's touch, dynamics, and note choices, The AUTO Series provides an unprecedented level of effects control and creative expression.
At their core, each AUTO Series pedal offers a meticulously crafted palette of sound algorithms, providing a vast range of foundational tones. The primary advantage is the ability to automate these sounds later, but even on their own, they already deliver exceptional quality, making them highly versatile and impressive standalone tools.
Each pedal's AUTO Section has two on-board signal analysis engines, engineered to transfer musical nuances onto the effects parameters. The DYNAMICS tracker is fine-tuned to capture all details of playing dynamics, and animate parameters based on the player's picking style as well as each instrument's loudness and decay. The PITCH tracker detects note choices, and changes in the instrument's tone. These automations can be linked to any of the four effect knobs, setting the parameters in motion.
The entire automation section is engaged with the AUTO footswitch. This allows for the automations to be prepared with the patch cables and then toggled ON or OFF as needed. The small PARAMETER AUTOMATION knobs directly below each of the main EFFECT PARAMETER knobs determine the amount of automation and direction for each parameter individually. The automation functions can be fine-tuned using calibration and several effect engagement modes.
The Design of the AUTO Series pedals draws inspiration from the world of modular synthesis. The series' unique patchbay interface allows to create a straightforward and robust connection between the two on-board trackers and any of the effects parameters using 3.5mm (1 ⁄ 8 inch) jack patch cables. A batch of six patch cables are included with each pedal.
The AUTO Series PITCH and DYNAMICS trackers are extremely precise and versatile, flawlessly tailored for all styles of guitar playing, yet not limited to string instruments. All pedals feature an input level switch that lets you choose between instrument level (INST), line level (LINE), and Eurorack synthesizer level (EU) input.
While Gamechanger are not hiding their intention of releasing a wide array of popular effects types under the “Automation” banner, the AUTO Series is debuting with three classic time-based digital stereo effects:
"Rare as hen's teeth (possibly even rarer than that) is a near-mint EMS TKS sequencer from the 70's in its original beautiful afromosia case. This was the standalone keyboard/sequencer for the EMS Synthi and VCS3 MKII synthesizers and will get you that Pink Floyd "On the Run" sequencing sound. Even better, this one has been modified with a jack for an extremely rare Brookside Electronics trigger interface. This interface allows you to send a trigger source into the sequencer so you can sync your sequencers to MIDI or DAW. Quite a powerful add-on, and impossible to find!
History
I bought this during COVID from an acquaintance in the UK (he sold it to me in working condition - he was also selling his VCS3 MKII at the time, which I could not afford) in the hopes that I'd eventually acquire a VCS3 MKII to power it.
Condition
Since I was never able to test this out, this unit, and the accompanying Brookside sync box, are being sold in excellent physical condition, but untested, possibly non-functioning condition. I cannot guarantee that it functions, so please keep that in mind when bidding.
Accessories
Comes with connection cable for a VCS3 MKII and the Brookside Electronics sync box."

"I was asked a couple of times how does the Wave Multiplier works. I did this video hoping to answer the question the best I can.
Disclaimer: I'm not an influencer, nor I'm asking for money on Patreon. I don't have the equipment, nor I can spend days on making a video, so be aware that the quality of the video content might not meet your expectation(s) or even 2024 online tutorial standards. Myself I watch from time to time demos of new equipement from people I respect for the quality of their product demo or tuto ("loopop" comes first in mind). I have no idea how much time they spend on the making, but I can't imagine it not being enormous. Personally I'm simply trying here my best to share my experience and what I discovered about the Wave Mutliplier on the Synton Fénix II and IId, hoping it can be useful for all friends here watching my channel."
