"You definitely want to listen to the demos through decent speakers or headphones. The bass adjustments wont be clear through frequency limited laptop or phone speakers.
The LEQ-5 is now in production and you can order the LEQ-5 by emailing info@phase.engineering directly.
"The LEQ-5 is the first module by Australian music technology designer, Phase Engineering. I am lucky to have one of six units that exist today, but a formal release will occur in the last half of 2024. Warren, the man behind the brand, is also the lead hardware engineer for Innerclock Systems who makes the fabulous Sync-Gen technology..."
"My friend and I had a rare opportunity to play with the
Legendary Yamaha CS-80 for a couple hours... This is part 1 of 3 videos where we are just tinkering around with the beast and hearing how delicious it sounds. Forgive the camera angle. This opportunity was pretty much spur of the moment and this is what it looked like..........✌🏼@JMLRecording"
"This is my second Eurorack synthesizer. It is notable for being only 4 centimeters deep and solid enough to drop from a meter high and only damage what it falls on, and not itself. The case has room for 78 HP worth of modules. All the current modules are 6 HP, some of them are described in the video. The case itself also offers power (700mA for all voltages), MIDI (1 1v/oct, 4 paraphonic pulse waves, 5 drum channels), a hardware spring reverb (barely fit) and a headphone amplifier that can mix two mono signals.
"Bilma is a Raspberry Pi pico based drum module. It features 8 local sets, and 4 sample based sets. It has a dial to select the kit, and a dial to change the output filter, which for some reason has some overdrive. The python file works, but the gerber files and schematic have not been tested.
This is a tested circuit. The PCB and schematic will work as included in this repository. Bugs: Access to the USB connector is a bit cramped after placing the PICO on the board, but it would work with a 90 degree connector.
The 'beat.c' file is for a 16F684 to add a drum sequencer."

"This amazing bit of synth design is in excellent cosmetic condition, except for missing two of the mushrooms. The bad news: it appears to be a long time since it produced audio. Bought new by the present owner (***correction, he was the second owner***) at great expense, of course it had some use in his personal studio for a time, and then stopped working. So it was put away - stored very carefully by the look of it. The good news: because of this, it has had very little use, so there should be no parts that are anywhere near worn out.
Our brilliant tech James has now solved the problem, and this is back to making stunning sounds. The iffy HD has been replaced with a SATA SSD. (Original HD has been backed up as a restorable image file for future reference). There is nothing else quite like this in the synth universe.
Further good news: Axel Hartmann is kindly sending us the spare mushroom controllers needed to make this machine perfect again. So please ignore the photos showing any missing - they will be present and correct. Packing 24GBP."

"Even more of a classic than the OB-Xa, this beauty from around 1981 has been fully serviced in August 2024. It has a very unusual and useful mod where the cassette level switch is re-purposed as a noise switch and the filter can be multi-mode. ***More info: OB-X filter mod based on SEM. The mod uses the repurposed Noise buttons to choose LP/ Band/ HP Filters. Therefore patches can be saved with filter type setting. The noise modes are now accessible via the Cassette Monitor Switch. The new switch for cassette monitor is now mounted inside the synth. Considering the Memory Protect switch is already inside the synth and needs to be switched when loading patches from cassette (or these days a WAV), this new location is not an inconvenience. Most importantly the mods are all non-destructive and can be removed if desired. Also utilises the Magnetic RAM card so no battery is needed http://www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/mram.html *** Very similar serial number (804109) to the Radiophonic Workshop OB-X, which was 804204. Unusual, really, to have the full eight voices from the factory, because the 6-voice seemed more affordable at the time and still beat the Prophet-5. The price in today's money would have been 16500GBP. Packing 30GBP to include a UK or Euro mains lead."
