Breakaway Vocalizer 1000

via this auction

"If you don't know what this thing is, it's a crazy synthesizer controlled by the microphone. You can sing into it and it accompanies you with a corresponding synth sound. That is, if you sing a 'C' it will make a 'C' sound with the selected instrument. It does some recording... It also has rhythms and other functionalities."

Update via retrosynth in the comments: "It's an ESQ-1 digital synth engine without the analog filters. Interesting, and supposedly useful for thereminists for doing pitch to MIDI conversion. I personally thought it sucked for pitch to MIDI but I never tried it with an electronic source such as a synth or theremin, just guitar and piano."

Update via larriji in the comments:
"I have one of these. Two of my friends started the Breakaway company and when they dissolved it I inherited one. I wish I had gotten more of them. I have use this extensively back in the days when I was doing dance tracks with Psychic TV. It works great with synths as the sound source. The kazoo aspect I found very limited. The cheese element outshines your musical intent when humming into it. But it actually is a very helpful tool when using it with synths. Since it forces notes to pitch you can come up with some very interesting and usable "accidents". I used this on some tracks on PTV's Trip Reset. Does anyone know what these sell for? I have friends who want one. I have no idea the current value. A note of trivia here. Roman Babiak, cofounder of Breakaway said Stevie Wonder was one of their first customers. He picked one up at a NAMM then after trying it called them up and bought another one. I thought that was kinda trippy. I would be curious what he used them on."

Cosmic Blooper FM Synth

via this auction

"This is a Cosmic Blooper synth built on an IBM PS2 platform. Basically, there's a program on the hard drive of this computer that allows you to sequence a bunch of FM sounds that are inside the computer. You can change the sounds and do lots of modifications to them during the sequence. When you turn the computer on, it boots up and a prompt comes up. You type in FMKING.EXE and you're off. As you can see in the pics, I wrote a few symbols on the keyboard. There is usually a guide on screen that tells you what keys to push for different functions, but I Sharpied a few of the important ones on the keyboard for simplicity. This thing is fun and warped and works well and sounds great as you can hear in the clip." I couldn't find the clip. If anyone can,leave a comment and I'll update the post with it."

Update via Stamba in the comments:

"Well.. everybody can build it as it's only a software you can DL here http://www.kolumbus.fi/sami.wilenius/fmking.htm

You just need a PC under DOS sytem and adlib, sb or sb pro-compatible sound card.

It evens works with dosdox !

Ned Lagin and Seastones

"In April [ 1975 ] Phil Lesh and electronic music wizard Ned Lagin put out SEASTONES, an album of experimental "electronic cybernetic biomusic," in the words of a Dead Heads newsletter.

Lagin and Lesh made several appearances at Dead [Grateful Dead] shows before the "retirement," opening the second sets of their final week at Winterland with a section of apparently formless electronic cacophony- high tweedles, rumbling bass notes that vibrated the entire hall, waterfalls of swooshes, bleeps and assorted noises that defy onomatopoetic description.

The album is considerably more sophisticated than what the pair could manage live, however. On the LP, Lagin performs his compositions on a huge battery of synthesizers and keyboards, including such experimental instruments as a then-revolutionary digital-polyphonic keyboard developed by E-mu systems, a custom setup by electronic music pioneer Don Buchla, an Interdata 7/16 digital computer (used for processing the music), and scads of other high-tech machines. Lesh's bass during this era was a futuristic marvel to behold, as well a fully electronic bass developed by Alembic that allowed him to independently process the signals from each string of his instrument."

MUSIC FROM OUTER SPACE "16-STEP SEQUENCER "

Rotary Format Design by Thomas White. Title link takes you to more shots and info.

"This is an actual Front Panel Express Panel being fit with the parts to complete my layout of the Music From Outer Space Sequencer by Ray Wilson. I wanted to go for the rotary look in the MOTM-Basic format. Of course, you can see the knobs are no where near MOTM spacing, nor are the switches. But, they are switchcraft jacks and flatted bat switches. I am short a few knobs and control switches, but you get the idea of what I am going for. The sequencer features:

* 16 Step Operation With LED Indicator Per Step
* Gate Switches per Step
* Coarse and Fine CV Adjustment
* Built In Oscillator for Sequence Rate with LED Indicator
* Forward and Backward 1-Step Switches
* Reverse Mode
* Random 16-Step Mode
* Play Till End of Sequence Mode (Triggered by Gate or Start Button)
* Gate/Trigger Out Per Step
* Glide

The Sonica

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. Not mentioned in the auction, this features Serge components.
"This is definitely the first time 99% of you have ever seen this exceedingly rare instrument, and it is most likely that this will be the only opportunity to purchase one. No information is available online and only one other Sonica has ever been auctioned on eBay (approximately 4 years ago.) [Not Exactly]

This rare "portable self-contained synthesizer" as it is described within the original pamphlet (included), features "Sens-a-Touch, an electronic sensor that converts the pressure of your touch into creative musical tones and expressions."

For the lack of a better analogy, this instrument is most like a stylophone. However, the Sonica is more responsive, better sounding, more versatile, and seemingly effortless to manipulate. The Sonica features; volume control, key control, half-step pressure-pad function, tone pressure-pad function, and the slider pressure-pad function. The Soncia is powered by a 9v battery, has a built in speaker and features a mini-jack output ability.

The back of the headstock has a heart-shaped plate which typically has a serial number. This one has the plate without a number as I was told it is a prototype version. It is 1.5 octaves and still includes the original soft case and original booklet which is signed and dated 1979.

The Sonica works perfectly with the exception of the "key" control being temperamental, as such it is being sold "as is" with the belief that it is in need of repair. There are also several non-original screws which fasten the front brass plate to the lute-like body. Otherwise the Sonica is in great cosmetic condition with no breaks or significant originality issues.

The Sonica was designed by Frank Eventoff of Sound Instruments L.A., CA."

Gear Addict Clothing - Synth Ts

via Jordan:
"I've always had a hard time finding cool t shirts and stuff to wear so I went on some forums and started talking to people-- and found out that people have a hard time finding cool gear too. I hate all the generic t's I see in trendy stores...so we started brainstorming, put together some ideas, and i made some designs.

Our designs range from microphones and recording related, to analog gear, vintage and modular synths, theremins and other fun stuff. I am constantly talking to people in the community on forums and making new designs. We are a small community so why not help each other out.

I figure Matrixsynth would be a great place to get ideas and suggestions from people, as well as great exposure for the kinds of people we are trying to design shirts and other accessories for. Above sales is the community-- we design shirts by and for our small little niche, and would like to try to extend out to more people."

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 1 Samples

The following in via an anonymous reader:

rev1-response-to-pro8.m4a (2.1mb)
rev1-response-to-pro8.aif (9.4mb)

This is a 54 second 5 note chord performed on a rev 1 Prophet-5 as a response to the 10 (or so) 2 minute demos featuring the prototype Prophet-8. I feel it sums up many of the beautifully subtle features of the SSM revs that helped make the Prophet-5 the legend that it is.

Some technical notes:
Chord: F1,F2,F4,Ab4,C5 held for ~53 seconds (F2 is released ~ 0:18 for LFO mod) OSC 1 tuned to a 4th above OSC 2 (~3), both SAWs Filter EG A8 D10 S6 R4 (1 voice has a faster EG for effect and because it can) Cutoff 1, Resonance 7, E Amount 4 Amp EG A0 D0 S10 R5 LFO FREQ 6, TRI mod FREQ 2

Roland System 100m

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

This system has 2 VCO's, 2 VCF's, 2 VCA's, 4 EG's and 2 LFO's
Includes:
112 Dual VCO
This module contains two independent VCOs with expanded features; both have a range from 32' to 2', three modulation inputs, and a sync input and output. Three waveforms are available, as is Pulse Width Modulation. These VCOs are pretty stable, with a very wide range. If they are cross-synced at their higher ranges, they make a nice impersonation of FM synthesis

121 Dual VCF
Each VCF is a -24dB/octave low pass type with a built-in, fixed, high-pass filter that's switchable between three cut-off frequencies. Each VCF has cut-off frequency resonance sliders that can send them into oscillation. With a beautiful high end and a gut-rumbling low end, these VCFs sound incredibly rich and musical compared to most digitally generated filters. Use two in series, set to a different cut-off frequency, for an even deeper effect

130 Dual VCA
Each VCA can be switched between linear and exponential modes for different amplitude curves and percussive effects when used with the EG. Each has an initial gain control, which also allows the VCAs to be used without a modulation input

& Two 140 Dual EG + LFO's
This module provides two ADSR EGs and a single LFO (with five selectable waveforms)

& 191-J Five Module Rack
Originally, the racks came as self-assembly units. The rack contains the power supply, connectors and front-panel 36-jack patchbay. The front panel also featured two pairs of lined mini and standard jack sockets that are connected to two phono sockets at the rear. The sockets on the rear of the racks often get overlooked but can be very useful for linking signals to other racks and saving on patch cords

Also includes the Screws for mounting the Modules to the Rack & The Hard to Find 8 Pin Din Cables to connect the Modules to the Rack (may not be original Roland cables)"
