"I'm not much of a wind player - mostly I goof around with my Casio DH's, but this EWI3020+3020m set was on ebay for a good price because it wasn't working.
I knew the 3020m was an all-analog synth, but I didn't know what the hardware inside was (and the service manual isn't floating around on the web).
Turns out it's got some solid CEM voicing, with some pretty decent matrix modulations possible, managed by the 78cXX micro. I haven't hooked it up to a midi keyboard yet, so I don't know if it's workable as a rack monosynth.
These are just some photos of the inside and outside of the unit. I wonder if this is the very last of the first era of analog synths (late 60's to mid 90's)?"
"Single board synth on the inside, surprisingly simple with minimal components..."
The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been "unlocked" and let loose through joysticks, switches, and a pushbutton. It is hard to describe the sounds I have already heard: distorted, glitchy, fuzz, bass synth, drone, full of clicks, 8 bit, and erratic synthetic hyperdrive.

Ridiculous. Insane. Brilliant. Wrong. Some adjectives I have heard to sum up musician's first impressions. I am flattered.
Why? Because I love the delicate monstrosity that is precarious noise. I also wanted to make at least an entry into the category of craziest pedal ever. Hope I can be yours.
I will manufacture these. Since I am emerging as a pedal artist, I will do a limited run of these (say about 10) over the next month or two. I am looking for investors and/or a collaborators smarter than me in the area of engineering and electronics, so that the push.pull can be even better. In the meantime, I will post videos and experiment and refine. If you would like one, email me about your interest at either pushpullpedal@gmail.com or coloringpad@gmail.com and I will keep you posted and definitely email you when they are ready.

"This video shows how to create an instrument, first by creating a dot with harmonics, editing the intensity of the harmonics using Horizontal Curves/Average, then how to apply an envelope to that basic tone by drawing a curve on a new layer and turning it into a suitable multiplication layer using Fill from Maxima to Bottom and Vertical Average, and then how to apply some frequency modulation to make the pitch shift up and down by drawing a sine-like curve and using Vertical Propagation.

"Yamaha YC-45D. Described as the Cadillac of combo organs but in fact more of a synthesizer in many ways. Probably the coolest looking keyboard ever made however. Used in the 70's by Chick Corea and other Jazz types. Popular with ska bands later on (the Specials used on last year for their reunion). It's also Becks keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning Jnrs favourite keyboard. And for good reason because it is properly brilliant.
Comes with (tilting) stand, bass pedals, volume pedal and cases for everything."
"I converted this cheap used Tama Stage Star kit ($75 at a thrift store) with mesh heads ($65) and piezo triggers ($150), foam rubber damping, glued used practice pads and mouse pads ($15-20 total) on the cymbals and hi hats, cut up a Hosa snake and ran it into an Alesis trigger I/O ($130 new) driving a Waldorf Rack Attack drum synth (patches I created myself out of factory presets) I picked up (New Old Stock) at West LA Music.
In this video i record some drums then mess about with dw-8000 while playing back final take. I got some really nice stuff out of the Dw-8000."

The VCO 6HP is one of the newest offerings from Analogue Solutions. This slim VCO is designed to give you maximum raw analogue power without taking too much real estate in your case or rack. The range is divine and can go down enough to be used as a LFO.
Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) in general
The VCO or signal generator, commonly found on most music synthesizers consist of an exponential amplifier, a resetable integrator and waveshaping circuitry. ‘Voltage Controlled Oscillator’ means an oscillator whose frequency can be controlled by an external voltage.
A VCO is responisble for the pitch of a sound and its basic timbre. Most VCOs will offer a variety of wave forms. Some VCOs offer the facility to alter the pulse width of a square wave either manually or with a voltage (pulse width modulation).
Controls In Detail
Tune The VCO has a wide ranging tune control. Turning Tune alters the basic pitch of the oscillator.
Pulse Width You can alter the pulse width (duty cycle) of the square wave. Turning this gives a sound similar to chorusing. In the centre position a square wave is produced.
Square Level This sets the output volume of the square waveform output.
Sockets in Detail
CV in This socket is the pitch CV control input and is used to control the pitch of the oscillator.
PW This is a pulse width control CV input. Use a -12 to +12V voltage in this socket to alter the pulse width of the oscillator square wave.
Sawtooth Out This is the audio output for the sawtooth waveform.
Square Out This is the audio output for the square waveform. Its level is affected by the square level pot.

Manufacturer Description: CVM CV to MIDI Converter CVM is a dual channel CV to MIDI Converter. It’s primary task is to enable MIDI synth modules to be ‘played’ by analogue sequencers.
A typical example would be our Oberkorn analogue sequencer controlling 2 voices of a Waldorf Blofeld synth module.
It is designed to be quick and easy ‘plug in and play’ with no parameters to set. Just ensure your MIDI module is set to channel 1 and 2 and that’s it!
Each channel has;
CV1 Input This will convert a voltage to a MIDI note number. The range is 0-5V, giving an approximate note range of 0-127.
CV2 Input This will convert a voltage to MIDI velocity. If this socket is not used a velocity of approximately full value (127) will be used. In your sound module, assign Velocity to control filter cut-off for excellent sequences! The range is 0-5V, giving an approximate velocity range of 0-127.
Gate Input This will converter on/off gate voltages to MIDI Note On/Off messages. The range is 0-5V. 5V is note on.
How It Works Each time the Gate socket goes high (i.e. 5V/Note on) the CPU will sample the CV1 and CV2 inputs, then send a MIDI note on message (which also contains velocity data). When the gate goes low (0V) the CPU will send a MIDI note off.
MIDI Channels CVM channel 1 is set to MIDI channel 2, and CVM channel 2 to MIDI channel 2. The MIDI channels are set and cannot be changed. The CV inputs are pre-assigned to MIDI note and MIDI velocity and cannot be changed.
LED The LED will trigger each time MIDI data is sent out.
MIDI Out Connect this to the MIDI In of your sound module.
Scaling CV1 is not calibrated to any particular scale. It is ‘approximately’ 1V/octave. This is to keep cost down, and anyway, in my opinion calibration is not necessary.
CVM was designed to be used with analogue sequencers. These sequencers do not really have a pitch scaled output. They simply output a continuously variable voltage, usually from 0 to 5 (or sometimes 10) Volts. The output can further be changed with transpose voltages, mixed with LFOs, and changed entirely in range via a Range control (output attenuator).
Specification Width 10HP Power 5V, 30mA CV Range 0-5V"
