The Vermon PerFourMer MKII

via Vermona

"And here it is. We’d like to introduce you to the new PerFourMer MKII. Like its predecessor it features four individual synthesizers that can be linked and played with six different playmodes: 2x monophonic, 2x duophonic and 2x polyphonic.

Each synthesizer has a VCO with sine, triangle, pulse and sawtooth wave shape as well as a noise generator. There is a lowpass filter, an ADSR envelope generator and a LFO that can be synced by an internal or external (MIDI-) clock.
A whole synthesizer can be modulation source for oscillator- or filter frequency of the following one and it has got hard-sync for the oscillators and soft-sync for the LFO.

The PerFourMer MKII can be checked out at the Superbooth at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt and it will be available this summer."

the Wersimatic II drum machine

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Apr 5, 2011

"Last summer I bought a big box of old Wersi circuit boards from a former Wersi builder. Amongst them were a complete Wersimatic II drum machine with auto accompaniment.
It had some defects but now it is (practically) working.

The first song I ever heard that featured a Wersimatic II was the first title on a live album by Klaus Wunderlich and was a mambo medley of "Amor amor amor" and "Brazil" - both old standards that is a part of many organplayers's playlists.
I figured it could by fun to play it with the same setting as mr Wunderlich did in 1978. In the beginning the unit alternates automatically between bossanova and mambo, and then both rhythms play together after turning off the alternate function. I also use the fill-in button. Set your phasers to MAX CHEESE!

The other instruments are Technics SX-C600 organ and Roland SH-2000 synthesizer."

"There are 6 knobs:
Sens. (trigger sensitivity)
Tune (pitch control)
Level (volume control)
Decay (length of sound) *twice as long as original 808*
Env (Pitch envelope)
Tone (level of initial click sound)
There is also a switch to turn the Env. to original TR-808 setting.
This makes it easy to get the original 808 sound.
Turn the tune knob near the center for the original pitch.
Then you are off to 808 style heaven.
But you can get much much lower (and higher!)
