LIFE

Meet the Little Infinite Frequency Expander. Title link takes you there.



"LIFE is essentially a compact self-contained hand held inspirational tool for everybody interested in the creation of sound. It is difficult to describe the sounds that LIFE can produce, words such as… "organic", "unexpected", "ambient", "hypnotic", "subtle", "analogue", "fun", and other expletives have been used by musicians who have used the device , usually followed by "can I keep it ?" and "how much ?".

Fractal Blue Electric Blue Voyager

Trip, the stary black below is the actual finish.



"The Electric Blue Voyager is housed in a fractal blue solid ash cabinet. At first it looks black but as one draws near the fractal blue flecks pop out in an eye catching display."

RMI Harmonic Synthesizer

via this auction. Via Rasmus A. Nyaaker. Thanks Rasmus!

""The Harmonic Synthesizer - a precise approach to synthesis. You are given accurate control of waveforms by Digital harmonic Generators [2 digital oscillators with 16 sliders for producing frequencies 1x to 16x]. At your command are relative intensities of all overtones to beyond audibility! Each of the two digital harmonic generators produce an independent audio output for exotic contrasts in stereo. Preset waveforms can be selected or mixed with the generators for instant changes. Dynamic effects are created by voltage-controlled filters with low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass mixable outputs. [The envelope generator for the VCF is very strange on the Harmonic Synthesizer. It has a knob to select "Sweep Up", Sweep Down" and another knob for time.] Intricate melodic and rhythmic "sequencer" patterns are created by holding chords. Digital circuitry insures tuning stability and "drift-free" performance. The controls are rugged. The case is tough. RMI enjoys a history of building trouble-free instruments."----[from the RMI Harmonic Synthesizer's promotional brochure]"

Overdrive nob - self explanatory
Decay nob - decay control for the VCA (the standard Decay nob is for the
Filter Env)
Resonance nob - additional res range control
Accent Switch - turns accents on for each step
Accent LED - self explanatory
Slide Switch - Not sure as does not currently work but presumably turns
slides on for each step
Slide LED - self explanatory
Bend Switch (3 pos) - Not sure but does some very cool audio bending. Can
get really hard/nice bass drum and snare sounds aswell as other musical
stuff
LED under the Bend Switch - gate LED
xMod Nob - Cross mod amount
xMod Switch (3 pos) - wave cross mod source with middle being off"

Two shots pulled from the auction.

Close Up Synth Shots - Motherload

Carbon111 just belched a load of close-up synth shots on VSE and it looks like a bunch have followed. Title link takes you there. Enjoy. Make sure you are sitting down. : )

Drumcomuter MFB-502

Affordable little analog drum machine by MFB. Some samples after the hop. Also make sure to check out the MFB Msuikelektronik list for more of their instruments, including the MFB-POLYLITE a four voice version of their MFB-SYNTH LITE II, but with no knobs? BTW, Novamusik used to sell MFB in the states, but I no longer see them on their site. If anyone knows how to get them in the US, please comment.
