TipTop Audio HATS909 demo

TipTop Audio HATS909 demo from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"A quick overview of the new TipTop Audio HATS909 module.

Very vast range of High Hat and noise tones can be coaxed from this module easily, it has settings which undoubtedly rung true to the original TR909's that we all love but the Tune control and modulation inputs can take it far away from this territory entirely into new spectrums of sound.

The end is just a quick jam I threw together with the HATS909 used, nothing serious :)"

Metasonix Jam with 2 D1000's!!

Metasonix Jam with 2 D1000's!! from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"Just a little something I threw together which is 90% Metasonix. Everything is processed via Metasonix machines/modules.

A little bassy patch coming from an R54 into an R51 which is being opened and closed by a Malekko/Wiard Envelator.

One set of drum sounds from one of the D1000's, some TipTop 808 Modules being processed by another D1000 and then a strange patch with an R54 into an R52 and then an R51 which was being opened by a Harvestman Double andore and run into a TipTop ZDSP for some ping pong delay.

Its wonky, all over the place and I had a hell of a time with it :) great fun devices!"

Five to Nine Featuring Internal Sounds of the Haken Continuum Fingerboard

Five to Nine by Edmund Eagan

"This piece was created using a variety of new sounds for the Continuum Fingerboard release version 5.29. All instrumentation was performed on the Continuum except for the shakers. I wanted to create a more melodic piece on the Continuum than what I usually do. I was nice to limit myself to a small feature set in making this piece. Helps to focus the creative energy. I especially like the tabla like sound in this new release. Really fun to play and it's completely tunable."

"Rare 12 bit Sampler. It has the SCSI zip drive and the "pan" knob has been modified to control resonance of the filter, this can also be automated with the on board sequencer. This unit can also be treated as a sound module or sequence external gear. Internal sounds/samples can be mapped for triggering by external MIDI controllers and sequencers. The STUDIO 440 Sequencer can also drive its internal sounds/samples while driving external MIDI sound sources. The 440 will both send and chase SMPTE time code."

via this auction

You can find a recent demo of the Matrix-1000 which has the same synth engine of the Matrix-6R here. The Matrix-1000 requires an external editor to edit patches. The 6R is editable via the front panel. The 1000 does support editing via MIDI sysex so you can map an external programmer that supports sysex to various parameters on it. The Matrix-6 and 6R only allow this with the latest OS 2.13.

Arp 2600 Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Arp 2600/2601 with matching serial # 3620 keyboard in excellent original condition. It is complete, still has the original speakers and includes BOTH LIDS.
There are no tears in the tolex and it has all sliders intact with their original knobs. (photo will show 4 broken sliders which have since been replaced with N.O.S. slider shafts/ knobs) I also have about 10-15 original gray Arp patch cords and 2 dummy plugs, the owners manual and patch book, all in excellent condition.

Everything works, including the reverb. Only noted operational issue is the volume slider for VCO 3 which is a little scratchy. The tuning/tracking of all three oscillators is exceptional, and will not need any attention. Plug and play...
The keyboard feels like new with a nice tight response and no sticking, all keys work, as well as all plugs and functions."

helpshah (RSS)

"This is the earlier model and is capable of duophonic (the two oscillators can be played separately) and each oscillator has a separate S/H feature, IT IS not an SRM version (i.e. has an LFO delay in the ADSR section, different knobs, etc.). The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition and is working great. Note the noise level slider is missing its slider cap. Similar in design to the Arp Odyssey but with its own unique sound and tone and has a more complex modulation matrix. You can mix all different waveforms and suboctaves of each oscillator with the output of the other. Overall this unit is a very good example of this rare synth."

Korg 900PS Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is the rare Korg 900PS analog Preset Synthesizer. There seems to be some confusion about the naming (sometimes called PS900), especially since the face plate says "Synthesizer Korg Preset." The 900PS is quite a basic but very interesting monosynth. The 900PS definitely 'borrowed' some ideas from the Prosoloist. Instant selection of 29 different tone colors. From the sweet sound of a violin to the chugging of a steam locomotive. Sensitive soft-touch switches and plentiful controls provide a wide variety of effects including vibrato, repeat, even the harmonics you need for a Hammond organ tone.

The 900PS has 29 presets: Timpani, Electric Bass, Synthe Bass, Piano, Harpsichord, Shamisen, Banjo, Mandolin, Xylophone, Tuba, Bassoon, Horn, Cello, Trombone, Saxophone, Voice, Clarinet, Accordion, Trumpet, Funky Trumpet, Synthe Trumpet, Oboe, Violin, Recorder, White Noise, Scale Noise, Harmonics I, Harmonics II, Harmonics III."

Elgam Match 15C - Vintage Analog Drum Machine & Hard Case

via this auction

"Vintage Analog drum machine.

Elgam Match 15 C

contructed with metal and with wooden ends it looks more like a crane operating panel rather than a drum machine! I think this is from 1970's.

It has:

15 x drum style buttons
1 x- add maracas button (adds extra maracca noise to each drum beat
1 x on button
1 x down beat light
1 x tempo slider
1 x volume slider
1 x power on/off button

It is mains powered and on the back it has:

1 x removable fuse
1 x large jack out
1 x large jack - ext. stop

All button do what they are supposed to and it is in full working order. Some scrapes to the decal (in line with the age of the machine).

Comes in a free hard case - it's not an original item but is an adapted hard flight style case from the same time period. They go nicely together.

The analog drum sound is as you would expect - very retro and bleepy (if there is such a word) - the tempo slows things right down and you can get some unintential sounds out of this piece of kit. I have used it running through distortion pedals to get some interesting riff style sounds. As with most analog pieces the options are endless.

no midi or anything else to make life easy...... this is the real thing

It weighs 5.5kg"

Vintage 1970's Analog Electro Harmonix Space Drum

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Space Drum, another EH gem from the 1970s, was a pure synthesis design with the ability to select and modify your frequency band performance. It took its trigger both from the built in pad or through an external trigger source. Control the sensitivity of your drum stroke giving a unique tonal attack and decay that revolved around your start and stop selections. The first practical electronic drum that every player could afford.

This pedal includes the following controls:
Output
External Trigger
AC
Decay
Sensitivity
Start Frequency
Stop Frequency"

New Limited Edition MeeBlip SE with Expanded Memory in ARP Color Scheme

James Grahame of MeeBlip wrote in to let us know there is a new MeeBlip SE available:

"Peter and I are excited to announce a new member of the MeeBlip SE family. This limited edition offers twice as many user-programmable patches (32) with the addition of a 'patch bank' switch that replaces the low pass/high pass filter switch (the synth now defaults to low pass).

It comes fully assembled in a distinctive ARP-inspired retro color scheme with custom-manufactured vintage knobs. Ships around Thanksgiving in the USA and Canada. We're also planning to make units available for purchase from within the EU with European power supplies."

The Harvestman Tyme Sefari MkII demo from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"Just a quick run through the features of the new Tyme Sefari Mk2.

I used a sample from the Radiohead song Idioteque to messabout with, hope this gives some people some idea of what can be achieved with this module. Of course this is a mere snapshot of what it can do and the vast amount of CV control possible with this module leads to some exceptionally creative manipulation of samples."
