Update:

via this auction

"The mods are:

Switched 1/4inch Mono jack output - Put this through your amp, PC/Laptop, mixer or Effects unit to further enhance the circuit bent sounds!

FDBK Feedback Control - Turn this knob for some screeching feedback, distortion and heavy noise!

Switchable NOIZE display Control - This mod reacts to whatever is shown on screen the longer the word or numbers the more noise this will make

4 Momentary GLITCH buttons - Each one will glitch endlessly or as a oneshot glitch depending on which function you have selected. Each button will react differently to each of the computers learning functions - When you want to start again just press the ON button to select another function so you can get more glitches going.

Two way Centre off GLITCH HOLD switch - This acts the same way as the two lower momentary buttons. As those buttons are more for the oneshot glitch. This switch turns them into non stop glitches for when you need it!

The unit does have a bit of plastic chipped off above the display, this is an old unit so it has few marks but everything works fine

Runs on 6 C sized batteries"

Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm with Modifications - Demo Video

Published on Jan 13, 2013 zibbybone·104 videos

"I am selling this Roland CR-78. Here is a quick video demonstrating that its basic functions work properly. A previous owner added a LED readout on the front that counts the number of measures that have been played. The Green button resets the counter. There are individual audio outputs for kick and snare and 2 additional IOs with combinations of instruments. There are some 3 position switches that I have not been able to figure out their function. There are some concentric pots that seem to affect the snare drum. One seems to be filter cut-off, but I'm not sure what the other is for. Unit is 220 volt with European style wall plug. I used a voltage transformer to operate."

Meeblip SE & Yamaha QY100 Demo

Published on Jan 13, 2013 MEGASYNTH1·12 videos

Overview starts at :45

"This is a demonstration of how the Meeblip SE and the Yamaha QY100 can work together. All synth sounds heard in the demonstrations were made by me.

I felt like the QY100 doesn't have alot of actual user coverage as far as what information is available about it. Being that it is ultra portable and just plain freaking cool like the Meeblip I thought they would the the perfect companions! If anyone out there has ever used a QY100 they will know that the sequencing options far exceed expectations! The quantizing and step sequencing abilities of the QY100 are especially useful to me.

I am trying to get better at my demo's and if anyone wants to see a certain feature expanded upon please let me know. I wouldn't mind doing patch tutorials also."

Frostwave PVC Scalable Pedal to Voltage Converter

This one in via Brian Comnes. The following are instructions on how to use the pedal via Paul Perry of Frostwave. It went for $125 on eBay.

"The instructions for setting up the PVC for other pedals is this: connect expression pedal to box (which turns it on). Set pedal to minimum position. Adjust the blue recessed screw on the front of the PVC where it says 'min' so that the led nearby 'just' lights.

Now set the pedal to maximum & adjust the other blue recessed screw until the 'max' led just comes on. That's it!

The Resonator can run on anything from 14 V AC to 18V AC, it makes no difference. The PVC can run on a 9v DC transformer (centre +ve) or via an internal 9v battery (not supplied).

If you have any questions, contact me directly.

If you want the PVC to sweep both filter inputs at the same time, you can use a 1/4 to two 1/4 splitter plug or cable.

best, paul perry Melbourne Australia""

mattson with sample and hold driven percussion accents

Uploaded on Jan 12, 2013 hewstigator·20 videos

"here my mattson mini modular's sample and hold is driving an LFO clock rate which causes it to randomly generate percussion accent patterns. because i have the sample and hold sampling at the first stage of the sequencer (with the sequencer expansion gate output) it changes the accent pattern once for every loop of the sequencer.

i plugged in a bunch of division 6 jack lights to show you the output of the LFO to help you see how it is affecting the percussion accents."

Worth noting is that although the Mattson Mini Modular is a different physical format than eurorack, you can patch them together. I do so often. My Mattson Mini Modular is the heart of my modular system.

Jam with Samplr

Published on Jan 10, 2013 turnerofwheels·1 video

"I thought I'd upload my first look at Samplr, a fantastic sample performance app for iOS. Almost all source was created on this tablet, and it came out kinda IDM/anthem-y this time around. Percussion: iElectribe and custom modular patches in Audulus. Synths: Korg iPolysix and PPG Wavegenerator. Audiobus for all of the above. Additional material: BeatMaker 2. Sample editing/EQing: Auria (with FabFilter Pro-Q). With more practice I hope to get around the interface faster (also mix-wise the bass is a bit fuzzy and 'tubby' in spots here) but this is a start!"

MOOG Realistic Concertmate MG-1 SN 15 389

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

via this auction

"First, the synth was given a thorough cleaning inside and out. Among other things, this included removing all of the infamous black goo from the top PCB caused by deteriorated foam dust cover. The plastic side panels and control surface were carefully cleaned using specially selected products. Finally, the keyboard was completely taken apart and each key was washed, individually and by hand.
Second, all of the slide pots and switches were replaced using new parts of the correct value. I purchased a kit bought from Technology Transplant, which is one of the few companies that still sells restoration kits for the MG-1. As a part of this sale, you will also receive a set of brand-new, never-used slider tips and knobs, which came with the Technology Transplant kit. (The knobs and tips on the instrument are all original, as far as I can tell, and are in great shape still.)

Finally, the MG-1 was taken to a professional synth technician (Dean of Five Star Engineering in Mesa, Arizona), for all remaining electronics work. Dean repaired the out-of-spec power-supply circuit by replacing a defective voltage regulator; repaired the keyboard-current circuit by replacing a defective integrated circuit; replaced the defective LED; cleaned the key contacts; and finally, performed a full calibration of the instrument.

In short, this MG-1 is clean and sounds great, exactly as it was designed to. You would be hard-pressed to find a cleaner, better-sounding MG-1!"

Introducing the MODSEQ by Din Sync

Published on Jan 12, 2013 phono1337·108 videos

"more info at http://www.dinsync.info"

"Here's a quick demonstration of the first eurorack offering this year, it's the MODSEQ. An 8HP eight step roto sequencer with a difference, it only has four knobs! Essentially the MODSEQ is aimed at those times you need an extra sequencer for doing modulations, the effect is something akin to a sample and hold, but programable rather than random. Of course adding a clock divider and patching up the reset alows you to use it as a standard four step sequencer. You can even drive the clock at audiorates and use it as a square wave oscillator. These will be shipping in around three weeks, and as usual the waiting list is now open, pricing tbc, but it most likey be our cheepest offering to date. So if you want to get on the waiting list, drop a line to info@dinsync.info"
