Metasonix Click Beatz

YouTube via plague1715 | December 21, 2010 |

"Trying to use the Metasonix R-54 in the same manner as the D1000, by ringing the resonant filter with short trigger pulses. The only audio path here is the R-54 into the R-51. The rest of the patch sets up a fairly complex network of digital gates and logic, and the Pressure Points monophonically opens the QMMG as a vca which selects 4 different gate sources to be injected into the gate network."

Squidfanny - Circuit Bent BEAT SOUND ANALOG DRUM / MIDI-TRIGGER

YouTube via squidfanny | December 21, 2010 |
squidfanny on eBay
"'Beat sound electronic drum' Fully Analog Drum Synthesizer, very heavily modified and retro-fitted with MIDI-TRIGGER converter.

Both machines have similar mods, ie Pitch, Decay, Overdrive, Distortion, Glitch, Oscillators, etc. However mods are implemented differently on each machine, thus both machines have a distinctivly different sound.
One machine is geared up to produce synthesizer sounds with loads of modulation between the 4 channels and various filtering and distortion.
The other machine functions as a 909 style analog drum synth, with impossibly deep Bass / Kik, touch points for triggering the drum circuits by hand, and seperate outputs for the 4 channels.

MIDI-TRIGGER converter provides 23 x 5 volt Trigger outputs & Accent for driving other machines and DIY creations.
Miraculously I managed to fit the entire unit, 24 jack sockets & 29 x Flashing LED lights inside the machine (along with 22 x new knobs, 12 x switches and a shocking amount of cable)...

The Trigger unit works really well, buy one from engineers@work :)"

MIDI-TRIGGER converter is fitted inside one of the 'Beat Sound's' and provides 23 x 5volt trigger outputs and an Accent output."

Dual sequencer

YouTube via organfairy | December 21, 2010 |

"I have made a few sequencers over the years. But never one that can play two sequences at the same time.
This one can! It can play two sequences of eight notes or one sequence of sixteen notes in a loop.
To make things a bit simpler I have build the VCOs into the unit instead of using external modules. This limits the waveforms to squarewaves but it is still possible to control external VCAs and VCFs through the gate output.

In the demo, however, I use only the build-in electronics.

The music that comes with this video is something I put together myself. It is played on Yamaha HE-8 and Elka EP-8 organs, Roland CR-68 drum machine, Kawai FS620 keyboard and Roland JX-8P synthesizer."

Vintage Steiner Parker Synthacon

via this auction

"The year, 1971, 16 years old from Japan, on a trip to NYC.Walk into Manny's Music in Manhattan. Excited that I'm getting my first "real" guitar, a new Gibson Les Paul Deluxe ( still have it!! finish is cracking nicely!!). Strange keyboard with a ton of switches catches my eye. Way cooler than the Mini-Moog I had seen before. My Dad, being cool that he is, urges me to check it out. Makes all kinds of weird noises. Gotta have it!!! Wow everybody back home, groove to Walter Carlos, pre Wendy, Morton Subotnick, etc. Awesome tones and crashes when I intertwine the oscillators, envelope generators, VC filters. Many a stoned headphone journeys taken. 2010, Synth hasn't seen the light of day in 30 years, packed away the whole time. Plug it in, move around the oscillators, and BAM, wacka-wacka memories!!!!!! I have no use for it now.But I know that it'll make someone's fantasy come true!!! The workout.... Every switch works, every knob works, every key works in tune ( all keys are uniformly stiff. they will need to be re-conditioned.. felt?) As you can see, no dings, a little dusty. This machine has never been played outside. Never been onstage like my Paul. Just in great condition for its age. Let me know how you would like it wrapped for shipment. Merry Christmas!!!!"

Update via Micke in the comments: "The Synthacon first appeared in 1975 so there's no way the seller could've bought it back in 1971. It's obviosly a typo.

Much more interesting than DM's use of this synthesizer is, in my opinion, its use on the Apocalypse Now soundtrack (1979). The Steiner EVI, synthasystem modular and double-synthacon are all over the score."
