"A beat gets added at 3:35 to demo the full sound of the machine, but otherwise this is just the sound of the Hewlett-Packard 241A oscillator (into the Heathkit ID-4101, padded down by a Rucci passive mixer) sent into the modulation circuit on the Maestro Rhythm King MK4. Each available preset is selected so that you can hear how the circuit chops up the external audio in relation. You can also combine two or three presets for more complex rhythms."

"If not for Metasonix, I would never have bought any eurorack. Metasonix is a legendary company, producing legendary products. And, of them, this R-56 is amongst the rarest.
The R-56 has been out of production for years, and will never be re-released. We’ve all asked. The parts are simply not available. So these are rare, and expensive.
It’s a WTF sort of module. A spring reverb you can voltage control. It has a unique sound, even within the Metasonix realm. Customers complained about wanting MORE gain, said the great Tube Pioneer, so this module has it. That insane gain, plus the ability to feedback an electromechanical spring reverb, make it a module that requires finesse (and maybe an attenuator, or matrix mixer). If you are impatient, or unfamiliar with Metasonix‘s quirks, please pass on this listing. It’s odd. Really weird. Also it requires a lot of power for the cold inrush, power on, tube warm up, so you’ll need a nice beefy power supply like an RKP or Trogotronic.
The video in this listing’s photo section features the sound of this exact module.
More likely, you’ve been longing for this, but the blood sport that is Metasonix’s secondary market has kept you from your dark distorted springy dreams. Realize them now. Live them. Buy."
"The sequence and drum pattern are lined up differently in this take, with more emphasis on the upbeat. The E-licktronic 118a snare goes to the Roland 150 and gets a ring mod with one of the 112 oscillator outs, then that snare joins the kick in the 121 filter. The 112 oscillators are going to the other half of the 121, to the 172 phase shifter, to the 130 vca, enveloped by the 140. But the 112 oscillators also go to the 172 gate delay (thanks Alex Ball for the tip) for an extra sub oscillator layer, which goes back to the 112, but it’s not much of a feedback loop. CV from the RYK 185 and several LFOs modulate."
"Two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers are cross-patched, and their master oscillator ranges are adjusted, which affects both samplers, the envelopes, etc. The bottom EML 200 runs through a passive Langevin filter, panned left, high passing. The Chase Bliss & Meris CXM 1978 is set to a delayed reverb, with the reverb increased towards the end. Also used a Synthesizers.com Q124 mult."
"Added a video demonstrating the unit Stranger Things style and drenched it in an absurd amount of reverb like the kids do.
Here is the rare Firstman SQ-01 synthesizer, sequencer, and touch keyboard. You can program different patterns, and then choose between them. The filter can get into some 303-territory. Highly portable, solid and well made. Free shipping in CONUS."
"This is a demonstration of the (great) sound of two eurorack modules by Ton Atelier Lauter. They are clones of the EML 102 VCF and the VCA/ring modulator. Feeding them actual EML oscillators seemed appropriate for the demo and sounds good.
The note cards will tell you which mode the filter is in."
"Ton Atelier Lauter is in Germany. I imported this VCF originally to use with my EML 200, which doesn’t have voltage control over the filters. Somehow the 200 got surrounded by DOT COM filters and Metasonix TM boxes and the Ton Atelier Lauter EML 101 VCF clones got sidelined (See my other listing for the EML 101 RingMod/VCA).
So it’s up for grabs. If you don’t know EML, but like that Steiner Parker Synthacon sound or that MS20 mk1 sound then you might like messing with this. Comes in original box with power cable."
"Two EML 200s, supported by some 5U modules: SSL 1600 and 1310; MooSonics Vanilla Mixer, Filter, and Envelope; LWSS CGS01 and CGS35. Recreate this patch at Christmas."
"The VCO 2 pitch knob is all the way counter clockwise until 0:55, when it is turned up and the VCO goes into audible range and more FM occurs between the two VCOs. That knob continues to get turned and also some on time changes on the switch. Lexicon PCM 70 provides the stereo delay."
"Same SSL 1660 sequence (except for the D slider position) as in the previous video, but with the 1660 gate set to rest, so that it deviates from steady 1/8th notes (the SSL 1310 is swinging them into 16ths). The Synthesizers.com Q123 Standards module (which has an oscillator that produces 440Hz to reference for tuning) runs into Zerosum Inertia The Destructor Beam, but self-oscillating and tuned higher than 440Hz. So flipping the 440Hz switch on or off selects either 440Hz or tube feedback and provides two tones to drone against the SSL 1660 sequence."
