KORG MS-50 vintage analog modular synth expander
SN 190235 via this auction
"The MS-50 is an impressive, compact modular synthesizer. Korg thought to cram one of everything into this beast--so it has the standard modules (VCO, VCF, LFO, VCA, mixer, ADSR), but also a second AR envelope with trigger delay, S/H, ring modulator, inverter, voltage source, pulse divider (great for sub-oscillator use or dividing LFO or trigger sources), envelope follower, headphone amp, an extra VCA, a VU meter, and a few multiples. The oscillator is very flexible, with two attenuated FM inputs, PWM input, and the ability to track V/Oct or Hz/V. The LFO is similarly fully featured, with frequency and PWM inputs. Sound wise, the filter is similar to the MS-10, making the MS-50 a nice complement to the MS-20."Analog synth Health Club synthesizer
via these auction"This is Health Club Music's handmade analog synthesizer, Switcheroo.
On the go, on a rope, and on four feet.
Go to --> www.healthclub-music.com/switcheroo.htm for mp3 demos and more photos!
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING AND AGREEMENTS.
The Switcheroo features:
2 Voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), scaled to 1v/Octave
1 Voltage-controlled filter (self-oscillating and 1v/Octave too)
1 Attack-Release envelope generator
1 Low-frequency oscillator (LFO)
1 Voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)
1 Envelope follower (that can trigger the envelope)
1 MIXER
1 White Noise generator
We're sure that when you have it in your hands,
your ears become a lollipop concept
and your hands will be switching patches like witches.
Some details about the features:
-->The original filter on the circuit was tweaked so that it self oscillates to get you the sine wave--you can hear it on tracks 2 and 4 on the website's playlist.
-->You can play the oscillators and the filter with your favorite CV keyboard.
--->The up/down switch on the Envelope Follower inverts the shape of the output. You can plug in a guitar, keyboard, drum machine, etc. into the envelope follower and it can modulate the VCA, oscillators, and filter! It also triggers the envelope generator, the Gate knob acts as the sensitivity of the follower to trigger the envelope generator.
--> The AR envelope can loop internally, so it acts like an LFO. It is very enjoyable and is used ALOT. When the EF (Envelope Follower) switch is on the down position, it is switched to this internal loop mode. When it is switched up, it triggers from the EF.
The synth circuit design is based on Ray Wilson's design. For more PCBs and analog synths, go to www.musicfromouterspace.com

4015 R 2 R 4069 Distortion
YouTube via wonkythomas
"My 4015 Lunetta Shift Register feeds a crude 2 input R2R network. A simple glide cct. smears the CV before it hits the Bi-N-Tic V/Octave input.
The 4015 & R2R network make a great sequencer. I am using 2 40106 clocks, 4024 Divider & 4017 Decade Counter to step the Shift Register, feed the Data input (High or Low) & the reset input. Even tho the 2 input R2R can only produce a handfull of notes by varying the inputs into quite a nice, varying pattern is generated. I think The final R2R module will be 4 input with the Range pot which controls how much voltage is pased thru the op-amp & a simple Lag / Glide generator using the other half of the Dual op-amp package. The simple lag will have its I/O brought out to the panel rather than being hard wired to the R2R.
A distortion & filter (tone control really) based on the Bug Brand Workshop Oscillator Machine dirtys (!?!) up the Bi-N-Tic. This is a really simple, but really, really nice design. I have made 3 changes to the cct. just to customize it to my purposes.
I plan to build this into a Lunetta module first, but it sounds so good it may end up adapted into a 'proper' Frac unit as well as its a very differant sound to the CGS Wave Folders / Multipliers I already have. Seeing as how the cct. only uses 2 of the 6 gates on the 4069 chip its a very economical module :-D
Its a very messy breadboard of two potential modules! I am trying out a demo of the LochMaster 3.0 stripboard layout program so hopefully tomorrow I'll build the 4069 Hex Distortion Module."

http://www.SymetriColour.etsy.com
Screaming Angel produces 6 triangle waves at similar but generally unrelated pitches so produces atonal sounds. The pitch of each triangle wave is controlled by its own light detector. These are paired off into 3 waves in the left channel and 3 waves in the right.
Keep your eyes peeled as there are 3 more flavours to come."
Accidental Polysynth
YouTube via MusicMiK
"Today, i played around a bit with the impressively simple VCO design of the Korg Trident. Analyzing some of its behaviour and adding sync between 2 of them with just one diode, i decided to add a 24db low pass filter also, which is inspired by the AAC Tiracon 6V filter.
By this, i sort of accidentally created a nearly complete and very simple synthesizer voice. Everything is linear controlled, but for a polysynth, i could use a multiplexed exponential converter like Korg did in the 80s.
Adding some analog switches, noise, maybe sub oscillators, this will give a very simple polysynth i think.
I will continue on this and i'm planning to make it an open source/hardware project for everyone interested in it."

"this is a fantastic new anime in japan, it's not just the keyboards but all the instruments which are real. check the les paul, etc.
"keion" means "light music" in japanese, and most high schools have a keion club where the girls meet to play rock, pop and punk music. at my school they are quite a popular club, and in the future i am hoping to help some of the bands get some decent recordings."

"Every band member in the anime just happens to have the same last name as a 1980s member of legendary technopop band P-MODEL. No real explanation, obviously someone's in-joke.

via Joshua:
"I've been messing around a bit with the Griffin PowerMate knob and Pure Data (some of you know this already). Basically, the idea was to translate keystroke data from the PowerMate into useful MIDI control data. Using PureData allowed me to create a couple of instances of this where you can use the number keys on the keyboard to select different "banks" of MIDI data to send.

New Gristleizer

"PREORDER NOW! LIMITED FIRST RUN OF 30 UNITS!
ACT FAST OR BE LAST!
Projected Ship Date: August 3rd, 2009
For the first time ever, Throbbing Gristle's legendary effects unit, The Gristleizer, is now available in stompbox form. Though the original design is over 30 years old, The Gristleizer had never seen commercial production until the summer of 2009, when Endangered Audio updated and improved the circuit. The pedal version, housed in a high-quality, heavy-duty Hammond 1590DD box, retains all the functionality of the tabletop design with the added convenience of footswitch operation. In essense, The Gristleizer is a synth module that works with any audio signal. The audio path is modulated by an LFO using four selectable waveforms (upslope, downslope, triangle, & square), functioning in one of two paths: VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) or VCF (voltage controlled filter). Ranging from light and sweet tremolo to extreme, raunchy ring mod, The Gristleizer is a 100% analog, hand-assembled unit built to last.
NOTE: YES WE DO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY/INTERGALACTICALLY
The Gristleizer Stompbox Features:
* Versatile Stompbox Operation
* LFO operated by four waveshapes (upslope, downslope, triangle, square)
* VCA/VCF Modes
* Ultra-wide speed sweep (almost 6 seconds per cycle at its slowest!)
* LED Tempo Indicator
* Front-Panel-Mounted Bias Knob
* True Bypass
* Can be used effectively with synthesizers, guitars, basses, vocals, drum machines, brass--you name it!
* 100% Analog Circuitry
* Built-in CV Mod Points
* Heavy Duty Housing"

DIY Ringmodulator for Analog-Synth Demo (Multiplizierer) erster Test

Googlish translation from German:
"Since I have a not insignificant amount of multiply (CAN metal housings, 1978, made in USSR) in stock (150Stück) had offered to develop a ring modulator / multiplication formally. A beautiful vintage-pot, similar to the MC1495/1496. I voted for him or Ux Uy one Summierer + inv inv Buffervestärker gegönnt. This means, switch all signals invers / noninvers create. There can be three audio signals can be created. Asymmetry within the multiplying means may be settling trimmer. Resting potential for Ux adjustable via potentiometer. The current / voltage converter OPV can be calibrated by means of adjustable offset and is externally frequenzkompensiert. In conclusion follows an OPV to decoupling. Error below 1% This part works perfectly, excellent symmetry behavior. I'm very satisfied. Can also be used as analog computers. The finished synth 3-4 of them will get gifts. Here is a superficial test with only 2 VCO! I had just not feel like a third VCO additional wiring in the wild on the board trying to build, even if it is for real bell sounds absolutely necessary. Obviously the board is once again hand."

" I recall this melody from my tween years. The Danish guitar player Jørgen Ingmann made a cover version that was occasionally played on Danish radio (from where I taped it).
Later I heard it as a part of a Klaus Wunderlich medley.
But a couple of years ago I heard the original version by "Mr Walkie Talkie" on a German christmas TV special where a lot of music from the old "Musikladen" shows were played and I decided that it could be fun to make my own version of it on the Elka organ with a little help from the build-in sequencer."
Fairlight CMI series III
via this auction"The system has the latest 9.34 software, has 16 voices, colour graphics card, digital sampler and 24 output router. It also comes with the later MFX alpha-numeric keyboard and mouse, and a 15” LCD screen is included (not the one shown in the pictures). Instead of the usual 14 Mbytes RAM memory fitted as standard from the factory, this unit has a brand new 32 Mbyte card, which is the maximum possible in these systems. There is no music keyboard, however any MIDI keyboard or external computer/sequencer will work brilliantly. There are 3 MIDI ports in, and 4 out.
The 4 Gbyte internal disc is full of the following libraries:
Complete Fairlight library, Prosonus Strings, Brass, Percussion, Sound
Genesis strings, plus many libraries collected over the last 20 years
dealing with top producers and musicians. These include libraries from: Pet
Shop Boys, Trevor Horn, Hans Zimmer, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Art of Noise and many, many others. The complete Fairlight IIX library is also included.
An external empty 4 Gbyte hard disc, with spare system softwares can also be supplied for a minimal additional cost.The system will be serviced, have a full set of manuals, all leads, latest firmware, and come with 3 months warranty.
Please note you’ll see other Fairlight systems advertised, and many will less expensive. However, do some research before you buy. What may look like a bargain might not look so appealing when its obsolete parts finally give up. This applies specially to earlier systems. This system is complete, fully functional, and will work straight out of the box. I worked as product specialist and studio manager at Fairlight in Sydney during most of the 1980s, and have been involved in re-building Fairlight CMIs for over 25 years. I have sold and supported well over 30 of these classic samplers. If you are in any doubt, please type “Peter Wielk Fairlight” into the worlds favourite search engine and see what comes out."
