Roland TR-808 with Kenton MIDI Mod

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

via this auction

" Comes with Kenton Kadi midi, which costs quite a bit to install and the Kadi unit itself costs $300. The Kenton Kadi works great and is amazingly simple to use (unlike the Kenton red button midi which is a bit more complicated). See pictures below for more details. Included is TR808, Kenton Kadi, kadi cable, power supply for kadi unit and kadi manual as well. This is the dream 808 setup if you want midi functionality and the classic sound to rock with. Or course you can still use this unit as a normal 100% functional stock TR808, the Kenton doesn't effect it's normal functionality at all. If you want to go into Kenton mode you just flip the switch and you can trigger midi notes via any midi sequencer."

"Probably the most musical and involving filter unit ever - you know what this sounds like, but until you've played with one you don't realise how great it sounds... Deep, deep subs; Mutron-style envelopes; can turn almost any sound into music; makes a soft synth hard; so much fun to be had..."

narcomedusae - arduino sequencer for modular synthesizers

Published on Nov 20, 2012 by startwav
"this is a diy project to build a sequencer for my modular synth using an arduino mega as a controller. it is an ongoing project and is intended as an educational experience, not a commercial project. the original concept was a sequencer i designed in reaktor based on an ernst haeckel drawing. it is essentially a 12 step sequencer with each step (I -XII) representing a note in the chromatic scale. The controls allow the user to play phrases within a selected scale and constrained to a certain number of notes, beats and measures. At the same time, a user can alternate between two notes using a 4 bit binary counter."

RUIN CDS-0 Analog Drone Noise Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Nov 23, 2012 by psyingo

via this auction

"This is the Ruin Electronics CDS-0 (Compact Drone Synth). This is a one of a kind instrument. It was professionally built and designed by Ruin. The unit is housed in a sturdy aluminum case.
The CDS-0 is a 100% Analog synthesizer. The CDS-0 was a prototype that never went any further, but is still a remarkable and inspiring unit.
This device was used by Ruin on several recordings and during some live performances.

The CDS-0 has two Voltage Controlled Oscillators with Triangle and Square wave shapes. The oscillators have Tune, Modulation Amount and Volume controls. There is a Low Frequency Oscillator for modulations with Triangle and Square wave shapes. The LFO has a Rate control and a switch to select Triangle, Off or Square. There is a Noise source with a frequency control and an amount control which is summed with the LFO for modulation and sent to the audio path as well. The frequency control is controls the speed of a sample and hold from normal white noise to bit crushed arcade sounds to sub audio clicks. There is a Ring Mod that takes osc 1 and modulates it with osc 2, the Ring Mod has a level control. The noise source also has a mix level for the audio. Finally there is a gain control and final level control to the output.

Drones, buzzes, sweeps, chirps, noise sweeps, arcade blasts, ring mod, clangs, clanks, are sounds that can be made with this device.
The units approximate measurements are:
7.25" width x 5" depth x 3" height

The unit features:
2x Square/Triangle waveform VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with individual tuning per oscillator, modulation amount, mix, and waveform switch.
Triangle/Square waveform LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) for modulation. The LFO has a speed control and a switch to select Square/Off/Triangle.
Noise Source The noise source has a frequency control, frequency range switch, a level control for the audio mix, and an amount knob which sums the noise with the LFO for modulations.
Ring Mod by default the ring mod takes osc 1 and modulates it with osc 2, but an audio signal can inserted into the 1/8" jack on the back to override osc 1 as the carrier of osc 2. The Ring Mod ha a level control.
CV input for VCO control you can use the CV input to sequence the CDS-0 with external gear.
Output Overdrive The output stage is capable of nice gritty distortion with its own gain control.
1/8" Output
12v DC adapter power input."

"Here we have a Moog MG-1 Synthesizer. This one is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. It has had several modifications done to really harness the full power of this great synth!

1. 1/4" output jack with hotter output than the stock RCA jacks (Jack under "Output to Amplifier L")
2. 1/4" input jack to run external audio through that moog 24db filter! (Jack under "Output to Amplifier R")
3. The top switch on the left side panel is a 3-position toggle to switch between 3 different LFO speed ranges, slow, fast, and stock.
4. The bottom switch disables the LFO to OSC 1, enabling sweet sync and ring modulation effects!
5. The Knob controls the pulse width of OSC1 square wave, giving you more timbre control"

Adventures with the Roland JX-3P & Dtroncis DT-200

Published on Nov 23, 2012 by stuthomson

"A demo of my patches on the Roland JX-3P analog synthesizer. This was my first synthesizer (awww). I bought it as a floor demo at EU Wurlitzer in Boston in 1983 for $1,100 (saved up for it). I have added an additional chorus effect with an Alesis Nanoverb. The 3P's chorus is a bit cheezy but I have it on anyway. This is not a music recital."

soundmachines Launches New Website - Eurorack Modules

http://www.sound-machines.it

Current eurorack modules (click through each link for additional details):

"RB1robotto is a voltage controlled singer, an irresistible source of pitched vowels, and much more. The product, the first in our line, was born as a sunday afternoon project, by putting together our modular, ad arduino board and a speech chip. The blending of the ‘voice’ with the noises, tones, and buzz from the modular was so good that we built a company around that.

Now, the production unit is real. Lush steel panel with thick silkscreened prints and deep red tones. You control the ‘voice’ of the robotto with your well known CV sources. Pitch and Gate are the usual dishes, accompanied by vowel and consonant control. Each of those are playable also by hand, and there is a manual gate too, ORed with the jack input.

But there is more.

Flip the board, before tightening the screws, and you can see a six pin connector that could open the product to many other uses. We chose to play with the Arduino platform and in the end we would like YOU to play with it too. Just buy a 5 bucks usb/serial adapter and download the Arduino 1.0 IDE. The platform is based on the soundgin/babblebot ic, a well known speech and sound synthesis platform. The RB1 is a little toy to play with waveforms, modulations, other than vowels and consonants. Up to three complex oscillators with many inter-mod capabilities. The datasheet is downloadable!"

RC1radiostar

"Straight Connectivity between your device (Android or iOS) and your modular, without passing through a PC at all. 16 CV outputs (8 0-5V, 8 0-10V) and 8 GATE output (selectable to 5V or 10V) and sync facilities to connect with your sequencers. The module is accompanied by applications to start using it, either Android and iOS and soon the protocol (OSC based) will be made public..."

LS1lightstrip

"The LS1 is a capacitive technology slider that will generate CV and GATE signals along with the movement of your finger on its surface..."

LP1lightplane

"LP1lightplane is an expanded, bi-dimensional LS1 lightstrip. The same functions are exposed on either axis for double the fun!"

Ruin Electronics ATOM mini modular synthesizer

via this auction
Video at the auction and previously posted here.

"This is the Ruin Electronics ATOM Mini Mdoular Synthesizer. This is a one of a kind instrument. It was professionally built and designed by Ruin. The Case is white and black acrylic hand built for the ATOM with an aluminum faceplate. The ATOM is new; no previous owners.

The ATOM is a 100% Analog synthesizer. The ATOM has 5 modules with patching via 4mm banana cables. The modules are Two Voltage Controlled Oscillators with triangle and square waveforms, a Voltage Controlled Amplifier, Voltage Controlled Lowpass Filter, and a Three input mixer. There are also 3 1/4" to 4mm banana converter jacks so you can interface with external gear. The ATOM can create drones and noises easily, but can also completely destroy external audio such as from an MP3 player or Guitar pedals, makign it a versatile effect unit. The unit is powered from a 12v adapter.
Space sounds, crackles, hums, percussion, alien speech, warbles, zaps, clangs, bangs, basslines, sequencer runs, rhythms. This is a great unit for performance, sampling, or just plain old fun!

The units approximate measurements are:
8.25" width x 2.75" depth x 4.5" height

The unit features:
2x Square/Triangle waveform VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with individual tuning per oscillator. The oscillators go from subsonic (LFO speeds) to ultrasonic with a twist of the control. Each oscillator has a frequency control and an amount control. The jacks are Tri out, Sqr out, and CV in.
VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) The VCA is used to create tremelo and ring mod type effects, but can also be fed an envelope or other signals from external gear to operate. There are input levels for CV and audio, and output gain. Jacks are Audio in, CV in, and Audio out.
Lowpass VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter). This filter is a strange beast, a combination of Vactrols (smooth natural response) and CMOS (typically a digital logic IC but coerced into being an analog device). The VCFs have a Frequency and Resonance control and a switch for Lowpass/Bandpass response.
3 Input Mixer The mixer is used to sum signals together or to amplify external signals. The mixer has quite a bit of gain and can clip when fed a hot enough signal, such as that from an effect pedal. 3 Input jacks and an output. Each input has a level control and the output has a master level.
3 1/4" to 4mm Banana converters used for interfacing external gear to the ATOM.
12v Adapter input."

New Doepfer A-190-8 & A-180

"The A-190-8 is a MIDI/USB to Sync interface.
Basically this module divides the incoming MIDI or USB clock messages into smaller steps. You could see it as a modular version of the MSY2 MIDI-to-SYNC Converter that was announced in December last year, but with multiple simultaneous outputs and added USB support."

"For early in 2013 also a slim version of the A-180 Multiples module is planned. This will be called A-180-2 and will be half the size of a regular A-180."

"An Abstract Electronic solo piece sequenced in 5/4. The Phobos (aka Analogue Systems) Red Square Semi modular mono synth is choosing most of the tones through it's Sample and Hold circuit. Rythmically driven with 10 step sequencer modulating LFO frequency in steps, a 4 step sequencer modulates pulse width at times. playing SD-1 keyboard strictly as a midi controller. No overdubs, one live performance,with some Lexicon MX300 spring reverb added.

Scene: Year 7800, Location: In the sands of Massachusetts, in an area formally known as technology highway. Archeologists discover fragments of circuit boards and believe it to be a lost language or art.

Note: Circuit boards shown are not of the Red Square's internal boards."

Korg Monotribe Drum Mods Kit

Published on Nov 23, 2012 by darenager
"You will need to listen on headphones or half decent speakers to hear properly.
A new pre-built mod kit for the Monotribe, this adds 4 switches to change the drum sounds, decay for BD, tone for snare, decay for snare noise, decay for hi hat. The switches have 3 positions, when set to centre the default sounds are heard, when up or down the mod sounds are heard.

To install it you need to drill 6 holes and solder 5 wires, the circuit board and switches are pre-built.

I also do midi mods for the Monotribe, and I have some other mod kits coming soon so stay tuned.

Send me a message if you are interested. Pricing is reasonable but not as cheap as DIY as it has to be worth my while. There are lots of good DIY resources for mods if you google for them."
