Werkstatt der Pfähler (Werkstatt the Impaler) by Laurentide SynthWorks


via Laurentide SynthWorks

"The Werkstatt der Pfähler (Werkstatt the Impaler) is a Moog Werkstatt-Ø1 that has been cut up and extensively modified. There is a huge beast inside these little synths that can only be accessed through modifying.

There are 2 versions available: Standard and Full. The Standard version is perfect for incorporating into an existing Eurorack modular system. Most of the header patch points have been brought to the rear of the unit to 3.5mm Jacks. Most importantly, the EG can be triggered by an external gate. This is not possible without modification.

The Full version takes the standard and brings it to a stand-alone powerhouse! In addition to the CV In’s and Out’s at the rear, buffers are added to all CV Out’s (these are circuits that keep critical voltages, like the raw VCO waveforms from sagging when used to drive external gear). The CV Out’s are wired to TRS jacks, giving a total of 8 individual outputs. A MIDI 2 CV (MINICV) converter is added to drive the VCO and EG. Additionally, the CV & Gate generated by the MIDI 2 CV is brought to 2 jacks, so when the Werkstatt is not in use, it can be used to drive other analog gear that does not have MIDI, but does have CV & Gate In’s. A mixer is added to give volume control over the Werkstatt VCO and External Audio. Additionally, the VCF is wired to the Audio In jack, so when nothing is plugged into the jack, the Audio In volume knob will send the VCF back into itself for some intense filter overdrive! A 2nd glide circuit is added in line with the VCO CV In. The Werkstatt Glide potentiometer is removed and replaced with a dual gang potentiometer. This way one knob can control both the Werkstatt glide and the external pitch glide. The VCO Wave selector switch is removed and a mixer circuit is added so the 2 waveforms can be continuously blended from one to the other. Lastly, there is a Fine Tune knob added.

Both mods come with high quality Lexan Overlays by SynthGraphics (similar to the ones used on production Moogs), and all mods are backed by a 1 year warranty.*"

Syntegrator's Kiwi Jump


Published on Jan 12, 2015 Syntegrator

"What happens when I have two Kiwi-106 synthesizers within arms reach? A most excellent trip to 1984, Dude!

Jump is Copyright Van Halen Productions, Inc. written by Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Edward Van Halen and Michael Anthony. This video is a fair use tribute performance of their 80s rock masterpiece, intended to showcase the might and majesty of two Kiwi-106 upgrade synthesizers while paying due homage to the most illustrious gods of hard rock synth badassery!

For higher fidelity audio, check out https://soundcloud.com/syntegrator/sy... for the real deal, and buy Van Halen 1984 if you don't already own it - It's a real classic jammed with killer music!"

Livewire Dual Cyclotron Eurorack Module

"This Dual Cyclotron is in perfect working order and is in great cosmetic condition. It has a maximum current draw of 60mA and takes up 28 hp in a eurorack frame.

For your enjoyment, and perhaps erudition, the livewire description:

“Non-concentric, asymmetrical low frequency periodic resonators (or cyclotrons) controlling a subordinate pseudorandom voltage generator. Authentic extraterrestrial CV modulation for your eurorack modular instrument (or any other device). Output voltage which is produced can be used to modulate VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, or any other devices that is voltage controllable. The Dual Cyclotron can be adjusted for extremely long cycles producing slowly changing soundscapes evolving over long periods of time, or ultrahigh cycle rates for totally sick sideband oscillation.
Every Dual Cyclotron is assembled under sterile laboratory conditions and undergoes thorough radiation decontamination prior to shipping.”

Analogue Systems RS-95E VCO Eurorack Module

"Tunable from ridiculously LF to way up in the piercing, squeaky territory, and all this in three waveshapes, each with variable pulsewidth / waveshape. A wonderful addition to any eurorack modular!


From the SchneidersLaden website:

“The RS95 by Analogue solutions is a premium, british sounding VCO with waveshaping possiblities. It is based on the RS90 but has more features, predominantly a very special sine wave. The RS95e presented here is technically identical but instead a normal frequency control it features a gorgeous, lockable (!) potentiometer with ten turns. That allows precise fine tune control and adds the look of an EMS synthesizer to the VCO.

The RS95e has three audio outputs: pulse, triangle and sine. The upper shape control affects the pulse width. The lower shape control not only morphs from a falling sawtooth over triangle to a rising saw (or: ramp) but simultaneously alters the sine wave and produces a kind of smoothed, softer sawtooth. Additionally the saw/sine output is a CV-INPUT for the symmetry of the sine. Very extraordinary feature that all are voltage controllable. The oscillator sync is ?soft? and not only reacts to square waves but works with all waveforms. The frequency control has three switchable modes: STD (standard) with a range of two octaves. -2 is two octaves lower than STD. WIDE mode gives a range from 0.3 Hz - 17kHz and thus allows use of the RS-95 as VC-LFO with waveshaping options! The ?vary? control not only attenuates but also can amplify the pitch CV. It controls linearly from 0V over 1V/oct to 0.4 V/oct”

12 HP wide, max current draw 70 mA"

Oberheim Prommer - PROM/Sample Recorder

"Once you get the sample in, you can execute all kinds of modifications of the sample. For example, the "reverse" function is worth the price alone. Reverse the sound of a toilet flushing - it is the ultimate alt percussion experience. The unit comes with a PROM chip; to get you started (plug it in to your DMX for new sounds), and be sure to check out Paul White's Electrongate for other details on this neat device. I have printed out the instruction manual, and this is included with the unit, as well as an AC cable."
