Crumar Bit One

via this auction

"This is a fairly rare crumar Bit one with the SSM2044 vcf's. I compared the two (other version more common has CEM3328 vcf's) with the same patches loaded and on most sounds it's fairly hard to tell much difference. But I think overall these are a little more punchy and the others maybe more excelling on ethereal kinds of sounds"

Korg Poly-61

via this auction

"Korg Poly-61 Synthesizer, a classic keyboard and Korg's response to the Roland Juno. Like the Juno, it has DCOs going through analog filters, but unlike the Roland, it has two oscillators, with detune and interval settings. It also has a great arpeggiator."

THE MICROTONIC PATTERNARIUM and µTonic Beta

"The MicroTonic Patternarium. You could describe Patternarium as an online collaborative patch randomizer. It continuously generates new sounds and rhythms for MicroTonic through principles of evolution. You get to vote on whether rhythms should prosper and procreate or if they should die. Call it musical darwinism - survival of the phattest.

Read more and start playing here: http://www.soniccharge.com/patternarium

Seriously, go there, even if you don't own MicroTonic. It is great fun. Promise"

EMS Synthi Aks connected with a CV/GATE converter box to x0xb0x

YouTube via ofiroman123 — June 06, 2010 — "the synthi needs a converter box to convert the CV 0.32 volt / octave to 1 volt octave
and the gate to about 4 volt.
the x0xbox here gets midi notes and convets them to cv/gate signals and then
the box converts it to fit"

4ms Clock Divider

via The B-Roll where you'll find more pics, details and a demo.

"I finally got a chance to test out the new module tonight. It’s called the Rotating Clock Divider. It’s such a simple concept it’s surprising it took so long for the design to come to light. Basically it does exactly what it says. It takes a clock and divides it. There are plenty of other clock dividers out there but for some reason the divisions have always gone in multiples of 2. So no matter how you patch it everything always hits on the beat. It can make most rhythms feel cold and lifeless. What the Rotating clock divider does is simply provide an incremental division, so output 1 is /1, output 2 is /2, output 3 is /3 and so on. So what this allows for is things can be triggered on the offbeat."

Acid IMP - Basslines on the Machinedrum

YouTube via Catabolicdj — June 03, 2010 — "The GND IMP machine on the Machinedrum does more than snap, crackle, pop - it does basslines. Won't sound exactly like a 303 but you can get some great sounds nonetheless."

Machinedrum goes industrial (+samples)

"Catabolicdj — June 04, 2010 — Not just an IDM machine, the Machinedrum can do much more. Here the MD gets some industrial treatment. Free samples info at the end.

This started out as a challenge project - to build a drumkit from only the simplest machines. I especially wanted to see if I could get more sounds out of GND-IMP, which is rarely used solo. I ended up being able to do most of the kit with GND-IMP.

Thanks to all of the people who watched the previous version of this video without the subtitles."

Selmer Clavioline

via this auction

"Selmer Clavioline Concert model... restored a couple of years ago and it is in perfect working order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavioline This is a portable unit with its own valve amplifier and 10" speaker,Normally used mounted underneath a piano keyboard, where volume is controlled by a knee operated lever, it can also be used on a stand. The Clavioline is capable of some really 'way-out' sounds. Instantly recognisable as the sound used on "Telstar" by The Tornados (Joe Meek), or The Beatles 'Baby You're A Rich Man'. Iit was also Sun Ra's signature instrument. "

Ham Heart Analog Synth Noise Box W/ LFO & Filter

via this auction
"This is a handmade hamheart featherduster, 100% analog noisemaker.

It features 5 squarewave oscillators, with 4 acting as an frequency modulating LFOs. As well as a lowpass filter

The 4 LFO's are scaled in their frequency ranges so that the rightmost LFO has a larger upper limit and the leftmost LFO has a larger lower limit. Anything from packs of angry badgers to pods of harpooned whales right on through swarms of drunken wasps and mosquitoes can be achieved. The main audio oscillator has a frequency range switch, which spans from nearly ultrasonic high end down to rhythmic beeps and clicks on the low side.

There is also a modulation depth control allowing for subtle pitch modulations and/or complete clangorous metallics.

The filter is a simple low pass design, and works wonders as a tone shaper.

The blue LED displays the rate of the audio oscillator and changes as you sweep the pitch.

The controls:

The 4 large knobs along the top are the LFO frequency controls.
The large knob in the right hand column is the main audio oscillators frequency control.
The large knob in the left hand column is the modulation depth control.
The small knob in the bottom left is the low pass filter cutoff control.
The small knob in the bottom right is the master volume control.

The leftmost toggle switch turns the filter on/off.
The center toggle switch selects between fine/coarse frequency.
The rightmost toggle switch selects the audio oscillators frequency range.

6.35mm (1/4 inch) audio output
2.1mm 9v DC input (tip -)
Rubber feet

Metal faceplate, painted navy blue.
Hand painted masonic values hamheart logo.
