#1: The bluebox synthisizer, a short introduction

"The basic thought of the bluebox is simple. If you want to play different sounds you just hit the triggers like on a drum set. If you want to play different notes then it's just to press the keys like on a piano. And if you want to edit a sound it's just like an old analog synthesizer, you just press the key to listen and turn the knob."

Böhm DDM demo

YouTube Uploaded by discomodulator on Jan 23, 2011

"Böhm "Digital Drums M". Weird German drum machine.
Live and direct from my kitchen table!
Going through the preset rhythms and variations/fills.
The sounds are very 80ies but not bad at all.
I might modify it to get individual outputs to process the sounds further,
also a gate/pulse input to drive the clock would be useful.
thanks for watching!"

Wersi CX-5

"testing this *WEIRD* eBay find...
As you can tell I have no idea of how to operate this thing... got it without a manual and the guys who programmed it were stoned out of their minds.
It's from a German home-organ manufacturer.
sounds very nice in that 80ies way you'd expect.
*cool feature: the "hey" and "aha" samples can be pitched up and down with the tempo slider when the patterns have stopped :)"

Roland GR-300 Synth with GR-505 Guitar Controller

via this auction

"A Roland GR 300 Synthesyzer with its Guitar Controller: a Roland GR-505, complete with 24-pin cable and original guitar case, all in pristine condition!... Never gigged, neved abused, this set is absolutely faultless in all its functions and the guitar, though made for this synth is also useable as a normal electric guitar (and in fact it's much better than many Strats I've tried so far)... The GR300 still has its original initial protective plastic sheet, so the paintjob is pristine."

There is a 'mix' output (just use the synth output on its own)."
