Analogue Systems French Connection

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

"Based upon the very early electronic instrument Ondes Martenot the French Connection is a unique keyboard and performance controller.

The French Connection adopts the control mechanisms of the Ondes Martenot but instead of sound generators it offers several CV, Gate and Trigger outputs to control modular synthesizers.

By placing a finger through the ring suspended below the physical keyboard, the player can glide smoothly between notes by moving the playing hand from left to right, creating a very natural vibrato in the process, while a pressure resistant wooden button offers great control of the amplitude. A VCO and VCA is basically all it takes to recreate a sound similar to the Ondes Martenot. But of course the CVs the French Connection is supplying can be routed to any other parameter in a modular synthesizer as well. Additionally there's a joystick to offer even more control and the 49 note keyboard also adds CV/Gate and Trigger outputs."

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine

via this Reverb listing

"The Oberheim DMX is a classic digital drum machine introduced in 1981 by Oberheim Electronics. It became one of the most iconic drum machines of the early 1980s, particularly influential in hip-hop, electro, and pop music

🔧 Key Features:

12-bit digital samples: The DMX used actual sampled drum sounds stored in EPROM chips, giving it a realistic, punchy character that distinguished it from analog drum machines like the Roland TR-808.
Sounds: It included individual samples for kick, snare, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, claps, cowbell, etc. The samples could be swapped out using different EPROMs.
8-voice polyphony: You could play up to 8 drum sounds at once.
Individual outputs: Each drum sound had its own output jack, allowing for separate processing and mixing.
Swing and quantization: The DMX had adjustable swing, making its grooves feel more human.
Tight MIDI sync and clocking: It could sync with other gear via MIDI (on later models), DIN sync, or analog clock pulses.
Sequencing: Patterns and songs could be programmed in step or real-time mode, with memory for multiple patterns and songs.

🎧 Sound Character:
Punchy and dry, with a distinctive ’80s sheen.
The snare and clap are especially famous—used heavily in early rap and electro.
It had a more realistic, “studio drummer” feel than analog machines, making it ideal for producers aiming for a more polished sound

This unit has a toggle and button on top and button which we are not sure of the function. Never used it."
