"both inputs are panned/faded across both outputs. when potentiometer or incoming CV is positiv In 1 goes towards R out, and In 2 towards L out. when incoming CV is negative it is the other way round... so i can use it as pan module or fader or even as VCA..."

"made a mistake with the board, so i had cut some traces."

"i like this shallow sandwich technique. more front panel real estate, but that's no issue for me. BTW you can see i had to tweak it a little bit ,-P"

PEARL SC-40 Programmable Synthesizer Drum Brain

via this auction

"It is not well known although i cannot understand why because it can produce and endless varienty of synthesized percussion and drum sounds, far beyond the boring Simmons-Piuuuuu.

The specs:
* The "40" means it can produce 4 sounds at once (not 40 ? no, only 4)
* Although it has 4 voices there are 8 Pad-Slots
* each Pad can be fired by a 6.3 mm -jack trigger-in OR (have a seat) .. MIDI (although it tends to hangup when fired with extensive data)
* each Pad has (if you like) an individual out or goes to the sum-out
* each Voice is made of: 1 digital Wavegenerator and Noise, 2 Bandpassfilters and 4 Envelopegenerators, see blockdiagram to the right. You can tweak the 'tone' and the 'attack'-part separately and set the balance of both.
* The 32 waveforms sound like cheap 12 bit samples with a loopphase. Some sound like sine or a chime or a gong. I put up a soundfile with all the waveforms below.
* you can store (!) 4 x 8 Banks, each with 8 Pad-Parametersets (=Sounds)"

Up first, the new Moog Slim Phatty. Not a lot in the box so it's not too long. Sounds great though, very nice analog synth.
