DACS FwS FREQue II
via this auction. via philip"Produce pumping tracks that stand out from the crowd with the FwS FREQue II, a genuinely new and inspirational analogue effects processor. In a world filled with plug-ins that do everything, the FREQue II is a processor that few, if any, plug-ins can emulate. The FREQue II is truly a sound designer’s dream. It’ll chew up program material like nothing else out there!
The Effects:
With low frequency modulation inputs:
Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging, spatialising
With mid frequency modulation inputs:
Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic, and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes), harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices (eg a Dalek)
With high frequency modulation inputs:
Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back into original
With music or sounds into both inputs:
Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects, weird transformations
Internal FM:
Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms
External voltage control of oscillators:
Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning
Frequency shift:
Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps
Paul White from Sound on Sound said:
'I’ve used numerous ring modulators over the years, but none have felt either as musical or as natural to use as this one.'"

EML Poly-Box
via this auction. via phillip."The Poly-Box is an odd piece of synthesizer technology. It's basically a small-remote keyboard controller for ancient analog synths, but with a twist. It takes control of your analog synthesizer and, even though they're monophonic, the Poly-Box will create polyphony by programmable chord memory presets. Designed for use via CV/Gate with these Related synths. Here is how EML describes it: 'Poly-Box is a pitch following variable chord generator controlled by your synthesizer and Poly-Box's own keyboard with built-in memory. Poly-Box takes a single pitch from your synthesizer and creates two banks of pitch sources. Each pitch bank contains 13 simultaneously available pitch sources at precise semitone intervals - covering an entire chromatic octave. The pitch banks may be in the same or different octaves, and can cover the range from one above to three octaves below the synthesizer oscillator.'"
Latronic Notron
images via this auction. via philip."This is probably the best step sequencer ever made, its very sought after and very rare. Only about 100 of these were made. This one is in great condition. I'm the original owner, bought it new back in 1998. Has MIDI inputs and outputs. I have a US power suply for the unit and also comes with the owners manual. It fits very nicely in a standard guitar stand (like shown in the photo's), or can sit flat on a table. I will Ship the item with UPS. No PO boxes. Paypal payment prefered.
Some well known Notron user's are Goldie, The Orb, Jeff Mills, The Advent, Joey Beltram, Bjork, Claude Young, etc. Its great for making techno, electro and some incredibly unique basslines.

2007 Disco Keytar
via Dave
"It's a monophonic, monotambric (same note every time) sound module, employing not a VCO but an ACB (air-controlled blister). I don't see any inputs or outputs on it, but I'm sure we'll figure out a way to sample it eventually. It's not technically a synthesizer, since it creats not artificial, but only natural sounds. But I strongly believe that when in the right hands (or paws), it shall prove to be a surprisingly expressive instrument."
FreqBox vs Access Virus
YouTube via Analogger.
"I used my EMG equipped Strat thru a Vox distortion into the Moogerfooger FreqBox into the external in of an Access Virus. I wrote a rhythmic pattern into my sequencer which gated the Virus. That same pattern was also converted into control voltages with my MPU-101 which modulated the frequency of the FreqBox oscillator. The osc. was synced to my guitar pitch. I also wrote a basic 8-bar pattern for the sampled drums on the SH-32. I included a snippet of video of my brother-in-law and I setting off a Blockbuster in a ditch. That's my wife screaming "He's so insane!!!" I really can't argue with her."

Roland MC-202
images via this auction."The modification that was done gives control voltage inputs for
1. Slide
2. CV
3. Gate
4. VCF (filter cutoff)
It also gives an additional output of the PWM waveform.
The original CV ins and outs all work also. The new CV/Gate input is better than the original (there is a lag on all the original 202s) I think most people would prefer to use external controls as the internal sequencer requires thought and time to program. However the internal sequencer affords special results with the use of accents and slides.
While the MC-202 is often compared to the TB-303, I think the sound and filters are closer to the SH-101. When the resonance is set very high the machine becomes very acid. It synchonized via din sync.
There are two wave forms Square (with PWM) and Saw. There is also a square Sub Oscillator that can be shifted one octave down, two octaves down, or down two octaves with PWM.
The MC-202 is obviously a great bass line synthesizer. The Sub can be absolutely devastating. "Watch the bass bins...." The MC-202 also excels in making acid. The combination of solid bass, acid sequencing, and filters that take on a life of their own when you krank the resonance, makes for acid bass lines or great sqeeky acid effects. The MC-202 also makes very nice strings sounds and woodwind sounds."
Elektron Sidstation

KORG SQ-10
images via this auction."Korg Analog Sequencer, the SQ-10 Model. It is in fully working condition. This old school sequencer was designed for the MS series, using CV/Gate Controll. You can make some reall groovy basslines like the TB-303. It has three rows of 12 steps for a total of 24 or multi timberal 3 seperate channels (3 channels of CV control), 1 Pattern, 1 Song, 36 Knobs in all. Cosmetically, I would rate it at 8 out of 10, it has minor scratches, blemishes, which is typical for an instrument that was produced in 1978."
Roland MKS-30
images via this auction.
"The MKS-30 is the rack version of the Roland JX-3P keyboard and the GR-700 Guitar Synthesizer. Sounds like a Juno Series Syntheszer, but much better since it has 2 oscillators with sync and ring modulation, as well as PWM. Excellent Filters plus, one of the best features, just like the Juno 60, 106 and MKS-7, is the pitch bends have a very analog, elastic kind of stretching quality to them, sort of like a rubber band being plucked and stretched. Not many DCO based Analog Synths I've heard do this, except for the Juno's. In fact I recently had a MKS-7(rack of Juno106), and I was surprised by how close the oscillators sound to the MKS30 's. Except you get two of them that can sync and be ring modulated. Plus it has a nice analog chorus circuit built-in for stereo effects.
Some people say it's got a digital sound, but I compared this to the MKS-7, which everybody says is effectively a racked Juno-106. The MKS-30 is just as analog sounding with a remarkably punchy, and pure musical character, especially on those pitch-bends. A few years ago, I was planning to buy a Access Virus C, and this MKS-30 was sitting close by in Guitar Center. After trying both of them out side by side, I ended spending my money on this one. The Virus is great, but compared to this, it's sound is clearly digital. At the time I was looking for that deep analog quality. This synth has that. It's also functionally better than it's keyboard counterpart, the JX3P. It has a better implementation of MIDI with velocity. It's easily programmed from the front panel, however their isn't any sysex that can be accessed by an editor. However, the Roland PG-200 programmer/knob box can be plugged into it, or there is a 3rd party ROM upgrade that can be purchased for around $100(last time I checked) that gives you full sysex, CC control over every parameter. Here's a link to that information."

pdPod
YouTube via mkalten. via Wingo Shackleford in the comments of this post.
"pdPod allows the creation of interactive musical applications for the iPod. It integrates Pure Data (http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html ) a visual sound programming language by Miller Puckette which allows the rapid development of musical applications. Guenter Geiger (http://gige.xdv.org/ ) has made PDa (http://gige.xdv.org/pda/ ), a port of Pure Data for PDA Linux devices which we recently adapted to run under iPod Linux as well. Martin Kaltenbrunner (http://modin.yuri.at/ ) created a GUI application which allows the execution, display and control of PD patches on the iPod. This application was made by the creators of the reacTable at the Music Technology Group (http://mtg.upf.edu/) at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.
This instrument was made possible thanks to the efforts of the iPodLinux (http://ipodlinux.org ) project, which provides a Linux environment for the iPod. pdPod itself can be downloaded from its WIKI page (http://ipodlinux.org/Pdpod)"

JoMoX M-Resonator Demos
Demos via Ookpikk - Ookpik"The first demo goes through each different part of the M-Res, basically breaking it down into comprehensible chunks, the second and third are on a drum-loop and a whole track, and they're much more subtle than, say, REwire's Sonic Trio demo."
M-ResDemo1.mp3
"This demonstrates the individual parts of the M-Res, e.g. what the filters sound like, how the envelope follower reacts, what the phase-inverting feedbacks do. In many ways, this is the most informative of the three. The sounds are coming out of the Nord Modular first, sequence is a simple sawtooth except for the distortion demo, and the pad is something a little more complicated."

AFG (Audio Frequency Generator - VCO)
Via Mark Pulver on AH:"Livewire is ready to release the AFG (Audio Frequency Generator - VCO). This is looking to be the hottest VCO on the market.
The the Chaos Computer first showed up at Musikmesse 2006, looks like the (next!) ultimate random voltage generating machine. Mike is saying that it _will_ be out before the end of the year.
Then there was an inference that there may be other goodies released before those.

Allen & Heath XONE:VF-1
"The XONE:VF-1 is a high quality, 1U rack analogue filter unit equipped with a wide range of input and output connectors, which features an enhanced version of the legendary XONE Filter circuits. An RIAA preamp version - the Xone VF-1R - enabling direct connection to turntables, is also available.Live Perfomance
The VF-1 is designed with live performance in mind. It offers the artist control over the music and the creative experience. The valve overdrive option gives the “dirty” sound to bass and synthesized sounds giving added depth and “fattening” of the sound. The filters can be linked to another VF-1 for control of both VF-1 units by one control as well as the ability to link VF-1's to a Xone:92 and control the VF-1 filters from the Xone:92. As well as the valve overdrive there is an envelope follower giving added effects to a live performance. LFO is also included for an automated response of the filter cutoff, and many filter types are included. Superior sounding Filters associated with valve analogue circuits (e.g warmth, clarity and depth) with the features and control of digital equipment.
In the Studio
The VF-1 is an ideal addition for the studio, be it project or professional. The Filters can be used to remove unwanted sounds (e.g. low frequency rumble) or as an effects processor with tube (valve) front end for added warmth. MIDI implementation means that filter sweeps can be recorded and replayed from a sequencer. The VF-1 can be controlled from external MIDI equipment and can also manipulate MIDI equipment, offering exceptional flexibility from an analogue filter."

Casio CZ-101
images via this auction."Interfaces: 1 Audio out (mono) 1 MIDI In, 1 MIDI Out Synth capabilities: Digital Phase Distortion synthesis 8 Oscillators, up to 4 per sound Effective polyphony: 4 4-part Multi-timbral Keys: 49 mini, not velocity sensitive The Casio CZ101 was a popular entry point into the world of digital synthesis, putting a surprising amount of power into its home-keyboard style case. The unit's Phase Distortion technology is capable of some surprisingly complex sounds, including chunky bass, not least owing to the fact that up to 4 oscillators could be combined into one patch. This would reduce the polyphony to a mere 2 parts though! The 101 came with 16 presets and 16 user patches, which could be edited and stored via SysEx. Close siblings to the CZ101 included the CZ230s which came with a pattern-based sequencer, and the CZ1 which had a full size keyboard and double the number of oscillators. Bottom line is this is practically showroom perfect which is very difficult to find in this condition. It has a nice 80's synth feel and supports midi. Various patch editors out there allow easy patch transfers back and forth."

Yamaha CS15
images via this auction."It's basically a 2 oscillator (VCO) synth with almost two of everything. It has 2 multimode filters (Low, Band and High Pass), 2 mixers, 2 VCA's and 2 Envelope Generators. It also has an LFO with three selectable waveforms and it goes from super-slow to super-fast. It actually reaches audio speed so you can do basic filter FM and get pseudo ring modulator type sounds.
There's also selectable Noise and External Input, so you can plug in your guitar, other synths, whatever and play it through the filters of the CS-15. I've put my guitar through it many times and get an excellent analog tone out of it. From nice clean filter sweeps through to classic 70's overdrive. Very nice!
The filter is 12db so it won't self-oscillate on it's own but I discovered that by plugging the Output into the Input, you effectively have a filter that self-oscillates for screaming effects and sub-bass. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt the synth!
It really is a thoroughly flexible synth with 38 knobs and 10 sliders for manipulation of your sounds. It does very convincing Moog type leads, basses etc but I had much fun doing experimental music with it. By doing the aforementioned output-to-input plug, and modulating the oscillators with the 'sample and hold' LFO and hooking it up to a cheap reverb, much weird fun was had!"

MIDI 9 - Add MIDI to Any Keyboard Instrument
"MIDI 9 liberates your acoustic piano by allowing you to connect your piano to a computer based synthesizer.
MIDI 9 has discontinued its KS MIDI systems. MIDI 9 is now shipping our new MIDI 9 designed QRS PNOscan all optical sensor strip.
The PNOscan will easily fit in any piano. It has no moving parts and has a much lower profile then our previous KS systems had.
The lower sensor strip height now greatly simplifies installation in Rhodes pianos and organs, including tone wheel Hammonds. When installing in double manual organs, one control box can now handle two 61 note sensor strips, saving space and cost.See what our products can do for you today."
Anyone know more about this and if there is any relation to the MOOG Piano Bar?
Thanks goes to Gwenhwyfaer in the comments of this post on the Gulbransen Orchestra II: "Google is almost completely unaware of it [the Gulbransen]; but it looks as though it's the synth / control panel end of a grand-piano-to-MIDI conversion kit. Gulbransen appear to have been superseded by MIDI 9, who do the same kind of thing... Here's an installation manual"
