Roland CSQ-100 Sequencer
via this auction
"The Roland CSQ-100 is a microcomputer-controlled digital sequencer with analogue CV/Gate control/connectivity. Sequences can be recorded via the external CV/Gate input (from synth), or using step-time. It supports portamento, which is adjusted manually as a sequence is being played. It can record a maximum of 168 notes which is quite a rythm! (or 84 notes per channel), with full tempo control and built in (switchable) metronome feature. The sequences can also be edited once stored. Also incorporates a neat Calibration feature once connected to your synthesizer.

"This machine is in as you might know, the first MIDI equipped keyboard. 1982 was the year. This particular one was probably made a year later or so and is somewhere mid production. From what I can tell on serials numbers they only made maybe 7000 of these or like that. 2520 is the number on this one. It has a good OS that supports MIDI channels. Early ones were OMNI only. So not too useful in multi-instrument setups. You have to set the channel though each time you turn them on and turn omni off. (Record and 8.... then record and 9 held while hitting 'tune' to move the channel up) Once you get over that minor hurdle these are a fantastic analog machine! The DAC generates the envelopes and LFO. But everything in the signal path is analog. (CEM3340 VCO's x 12 and CEM3372 VCF/VCA's x 6) You can get some extremely gnarly sounds and these have found their way into a lot of sound tracks etc.. Lots of fun to play with the knobs on these. 100 patch storeage and midi in and out. Patches can be saved and loaded via MIDI or tape! I've never used the tape i/f on these so I can't say how it works. MIDI is all I've used and it works glitch free!"
via this auction"As many of you know this is one of the last of the all analog polysynths, prior to a few more modern efforts. 1981. The polysix uses two CPU's. One to manage the patch storage, knob reading, most control voltage cell updating, button reading and LED lighting, and one to interface with the keyboard and create control voltages for the vco's. It also has three of the MN3004 bucket brigade devices to create chorus, phaser or ensemble effects as 'after processing' of the analog board's signal output. Which has 6 VCO's (transistor pairs that function fairly stably compared to many previous efforts), 6 envelope generators (SSM2056 chips), 6 VCF's (SSM2044 chips) and discrete analog vca's. (See my youtube videos using a previous polysix in fact at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDUzG9xAS1c to go over what the circuitry in this unit does basically)
The result is a synthesizer that interacts smoothly in 'manual' mode where you are just reading the knobs. Whenever you recall a patch you have to pre-move knobs or they of course will not respond smoothly always. Just the reality of having knobs in arbitrary positions compared to the patch you are calling up. But interacting with the arpeggiator is a lot of fun. A great instrument to explore the analog realm with at a price that pales in comparison to other all analog polysynths that have full knob implementation or something near that AND decent patch storeage..(ie. Oberheims OBX series, Sequential circuits Prophet 5 or 10, Yamaha CS 70M, and Roland Jupiter 6 and 8 of course) Because of the initially low price Korg was able to offer late in the game when technology had matured some and memory prices had dropped etc. these often get looked at as inferior. In some ways they are..they have one VCO per voice. However there is still a lot of synth power here and for the dollar you can't beat it in all analog world at the moment from a bang/buck vantage point I don't believe. Wakeman etc. didn't perform with junk :-)Serial number is 399244 "

"There are probably only three of these in the States because I flew to Denmark to pick two of them up personally from Mr. David Filskov.
Mine is #15. It's in perfect condition with US power supply, but it is switchable so you would just need to change the plug for EU use.
I totally love it and I am only selling because of medical bills. Hopefully it will find more love in a happy new home.
It sits very well with my Sidstation...it has a cleaner, tighter, more sophisticated sound...amazing dynamic range...I was using it for bass a lot. Very tight and punchy.

Elby ChaQuO Eurorack Synth Module
via this auctionSee the seller's other items for more.
"The main function of this module is a versatile chaotic signal generator (cg). chaotic signals are signals that have varying degrees of interesting irregularity without actually becoming random. this cg is an analog electronic simulation of the classical driven double potential-well problem, with the addition of extra gain in the circuit loop, and an extra cross-coupling path to extend the range of chaotic patterns available.
The double-well system is a "second-order" system and therefore requires an external driving signal. this is provided by the second part of the module, a sinusoidal quadrature oscillator (qo). the two parts of the module may be used together or separately. the cg may be driven by any output of the built-in qo or by any external oscillator. the qo may drive the cg or be used independently as a four phase oscillator for the usual spatial modulation and other applications. both parts of the module are manually controlled, to provide a compact, cost-effective unit. the qo has a frequency span of ~0.03 hz to ~3 khz in two overlapping ranges.
This module has a maximum current draw of 45ma. it requires 20 hp/te worth of space to fit in a eurorack frame."

Automatic - Pointer Sisters (Moog Bass Along)
YouTube via Geeljasjes | January 01, 2011 |
"Always wanted to cover this one.
One of my favourite dance tracks from way back when music was cool.
All instruments have been recreated, so I'm not playing over the original.
I only sampled some bits, like some vocals and rhythm guitar, as they were impossible to recreate.
Most of the synth sounds are from the Prophet-5, which you can see under the Minimoog that I play. Both these synths are my favourite instruments.
The drums are all Addictive Drums by XLN-Audio, both the electronic and acoustic drum sounds.
The 808, Linn, DMX and Simmons sounds are all from Reel Machines, which is an AD-Pak from XLN-Audio for Addictive Drums.
It's really easy to combine the sounds from these classic drum machines and edit them in the one patch. I wasn't pleased with Reel Machines at first, but now that I got used to them it's not too shabby."

Roland SH-201 Supersaw Sounds
YouTube via benanderson88 | January 01, 2011 |
"Two sounds made with an SH-201 synthesizer I got yesterday from a chap on eBay.
The first is a Trance lead. OSC1 carries a Supersaw waveform, OSC2 carries a Saw waveform one octave below.
The second sound is Filter Sweep Strings. OSC1 carries a Supersaw waveform, OSC2 uses a Noise waveform to give it that little extra 'hiss' in its sound.
This is pretty much all I'll be using the SH-201 for, that and some feedback oscillators sounds if I feel the need. My other synths better it in almost every possible way - Its hard to compete with Vintage Analogue and 80s Digital. ;-)"

It is played from a keyboard using a synhouse midi jack that used to be available when the Wretch Machine first came out, but is not longer available.
It starts out with the waveshaper bypassed. when it gets really loud, that is me engaging the waveshaper.
There is a brief pause at the beginning where I stop playing, I had to get a chair to stand on because I couldn't reach the keyboard comfortably."

Macbeth X-Series: Oscillator
flickr By Analogue Haven"The next Eurorack module from Macbeth Studio Systems will be the Oscillator. More than just one half of the Dual Oscillator, this single module retains the full and rich sound of the original but offers a wide range Osc Sweep knob as opposed to the octave switch while still using the luxury multi-turn fine tuning pot. It also has a switch to put it into LFO mode as well as two seperate sub oscillator outputs- in addition to all the standard waveform outputs.
We expect the X-Series Oscillator in early January for a price around $699. The size is 21 HP. For those who already have a Dual Oscillator, it makes a perfect third oscillator/modulator for that classic "Minimoog voice".

Hollow Sun $1 YULETIDE GIVEAWAY and A WEE $1 HOGMANAY GIVEAWAY
"As we welcome the start of not just a new year but see the end of the 21st century's first decade, what we have on offer here are some multi samples from the rare Polivoks.Manufactured in the 80s in the then communist Soviet Union, the Polivoks is a two oscillator synth with low and band pass filter, two ADSR envelope generators and an LFO with a chunky cosmetic design that looks like it might have come from the Soviet Ministry Of Defence!
This is thought to be the first 'proper' sample set from this unusual sounding analogue synth. It contains a variety of distinctive basses, pads and leadlines and is available for a mere $1 throughout January as a gesture to welcome the new year in.
And on that note, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy 2011."
"Now that Waldorf have released the magnificent PPG Wave 3.00, it has been decided to discontinue the Hollow Sun 'Definitive PPG' library as it makes no sense to be in competition with 'the real thing', so to speak.But before that happens, here's an opportunity to grab it for a measly $1! That's about 64p in real money or roughly €0.75!!
And in fairness, HS's PPG lib is quite old now as well but it IS a 'real' PPG Wave 2.2 with all its quirks and sonic foibles and covers most of the characteristic sounds from this classic digital/analogue synth hybrid from sweeping wavetables to glassy and mellow pads, from delicate chimes to razor sharp textures that can slice through butter plus chunky and solid basses, digital vocal pads, analogue leadlines and much more in 50 Kontakt 3.5 programs containing around almost 300MB of multi-sampled data, much of it stereo directly from the PPG's outputs."
Both available on Hollow Sun.
