"The Mini has been professionally serviced and is 100% functional, and sounds amazing! New keyboard bushings have been installed, the power supply capacitors have been updated, and it has been tuned and scaled. The original wood case as been professionally refinished in a deep brown. The serial number is in the 5000's. I don't want to oversell this, as there are slight cosmetic imperfections, but she is looking and sounding great."
"The synth has been professionally serviced but there are still a few issues:
-There are 6 touch pads to the left of the keyboard. The two for filter do not work, and the two for vibrato only work intermittently
-The volume slider is also intermittent(there is also another volume knob that works fine)
-One knob is not original
This is an extremely rare find, and has one of the most unique filters I have ever had the opportunity to play with."
Note the level indicators on the top of each section.
"The Freq. knob controls two VCOs inside and makes noisy fat sound.
The VCOs go to VCF which is the analog synth low pass filter(cut off frequency and resonance).
The envelope generator can be used as a LFO can makes lots of shapes of vibration.
Set the shapes of vibration with attack and release ,and repeat it or 1 shot.

"This is a kit I have developed from a previous project. The original idea was a gizmo for MIDI jam sessions where several musicians might share a common beat clock accessible to all. The same device also does a 6-way MIDI thru/split so its a pretty handy thing to have.
On board there is a PIC16F688 MCU, a 6N138 opto-isolator and a 4050 six-way non-inverting buffer chip. The PIC handles both the beat clock and the MIDI thru, so there is no contention between the two. Power is via a mini USB socket.
I decided to get some PCBs made up and make an inexpensive kit available on Tindie.

"The MFB SEQ-01 needs to be routed to the trigger or sequencer inputs on the SDS-V cards. I had a few options here. One was to connect the sequencer outs to the Simmons’ native sequencer inputs. The other was to hook it up to the trigger or pad inputs. I opted to use the trigger inputs ( counter intuitive, i know! ) because this gave me a gain adjustment on the face plate of the brain for each trigger from the sequencer to the drum module. The SDS-V drum modules are very dynamic and it’s useful to be able to hit them with sequencer trigger more or less to taste..."
"This one is in fantastic condition, no silly mods or hacks juts as it was made in the 80's and that's exactly what you'll get a real authentic sounding synth! There are Velcro straps on the base but can easily be removed if wanted..."

Elektron Analog Four - Live Demo - Integration in my setup

"a litte acid track with the new A4 and my momentary setup
it is a test of how the FX of the A4 are integrating with the other FX from PC or Hardware, seems to be ok, i think :-)
the A4 is a great machine, it could be the new 303 of modern age (as a total package not as phonetic replacement)"

"This Prophet 10 sounds amazing. It was completely serviced by Sam Masuko of Three Wave Music in New Jersey. All oscillators tune, and it just sounds incredible. 10 voices, 2 analog oscillators per voice. Play two different sounds on each keyboard, or layer two sounds for extra thickness and warmth.
Comes with the original owner's manual, and a micro cassette labeled "Fact Progs/Demo Seq" on Side A, and "Pictures at Exhib" on Side B..."
"Din Sync made these very limited eurorack modules . They are all sold out and he will never make them anymore. The Drum Dokta is a1:1 clone of the old school Boss DR-110 the bastard child of theRoland XOX series. The DDB breakout is included.
"This is just a quick recording of a rehearsal that I did this morning.
I rarely records my rehearsals, because the sound is not up to par.
Some Settings are not good ...
Info : I have split the keyboard and I have programmed a short sequence on the sequencer of the Polykobol & ... Fx sounds that are right on holding.
Then, I improvised on the Kobol mono synth ... Just for fun ... :)

"The first Stylophone hit the world in 1967, and now the Stylophone 2 not only updates the concept, but enters the world of high-performance analog synthesis."
"4 modulators (generated by the 281e & 266e) go into the 250e external input and are used for timing modulation. This makes the small inner circle timing knobs selectors for the 4 inputs and ends up in a pseudo feeback loop controlling the timing on the 4 steps. The 4 steps are stupid simple (output 1 is on for all 4 steps, output 2 is on for just step 1), but the modulations reprogram the timing as well as modulating timbre, then hilarity ensues."
"I go over a couple ways that I've been syncing my Juno 6 to Ableton and adding more in depth modulation to the filter via the arpeggiator clock input and the VCF input on the back. Feel free to hit me up with questions if you like."
"Many good things were displayed at NAMM. To me, one of the most important was the new Korg MS-20 Mini. I played with it for a long time and enjoyed it very much. It is very close to my full-size model. The MS-20 itself is an electronic instrument of extreme cultural importance, being the tool that motivated the development of several significant electronic music styles. This new version, available to all at a very low price, can only mean good things for the further development of these styles, and modular synthesis technique in general.
Because of this impending instrument release, I announce with great satisfaction ENGLISH TEAR, the first in a line of small utility modules. This module features the expected 'voltage processor' attenuverter and big offset knobs, but also includes a full set of functions for interfacing to an MS-20. Easy conversion from exponential volt-per-octave to linear hertz-per-volt and back, as well as V-trigger to S-trigger conversion. Jack normalling fixes the voltage processors to these converter circuits, so you may scale the input voltages as desired. The log/expo converter ciruits also have many other uses in your modular system beyond the conversion of pitched voltages.
Price? Cheaper than anything else I've done. It will be released when the MS-20 comes out. I was thinking of dropping it into the Zorlon/Donut production run scheduled for April, but if the MS is somehow released before that I can expedite the build."

"Spectral Eye is a free sound analysis tool from Secret Base Design
Sound wave forms can be decomposed into individual sine waves by using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This is frequently used by musicians and sound engineers to analyze the performance of microphones and speakers, as well as to study the tone of musical instruments.
The traditional way to visualize an FFT is with a frequency chart. Spectral Eye takes this information, and wraps it as a spiral, so that frequencies that are an octave apart are lined up as rays from the center of the display.
The app performs analysis in real time on audio. The app was initially developed as a debugging tool, used while working on some of our other apps. We decided to make this freely available to anyone who might want to use it. The app supports the iPad, iPhone (including the iPhone 5), and iPod touch. The current version also allows freezing of the display to look more closely at sound frequencies."
