Electro Harmonix Sequencer

Update: Be sure to check out gavin's Fancy & Spook.

gavin posted a few items on AH for sale. One of them was the Electro Harmonix Sequencer Drum which I had not seen before. He posted some details on the unit for sale (below). I asked him if I could post the image and details and not only did he give me the all clear, he sent me an image of his later model Sequencer for comparison and an mp3. Title link takes you to the mp3. Thanks gavin!

Top image: "electro harmonix sequencer drum - early model (without cv out/clk in/reset in - an easy mod?) - 8 step sequencer with built-in tone generator(clean square wave) - controls for pitch, rate, & decay. sequence triggered by pad at front or from trigger in, repeat or single mode, gated by pad/trigger or clock pulse. lots of blippy fun - only selling it as got 2! us voltage model."
This bottom image is the later model.

Moog Song Producer

Remember the Moog Song Producer? Click here for more shots pulled via this auction.

via adrien.

Details from the auction:
"It is a midi interface(4out / 1in / 1 thru) for the Commodore 64. It also has 8 trigger outs, clock in/out and foot switch control. It has a faux cartridge which is how it interfaces with the c64. It includes software an extensive manual and schematics."

Update via Gerald in the comments:
"I have one of these. Someone found a warehouse of them and put them up on ebay a couple years ago. You can tell this one is from this lot by the box's water damage. Although it is cool beyond cool, it doesn't work with any of the existing SID-midi software such as Triad's Midislave. I believe that it would be next to trivial for Midislave to be changed to work with the Moog, but alas the author seemed annoyed by the request. Since there are at least 20-30 of these midi interfaces in existence, it may in fact out number the Sequential Circuits, Datel, and Passport catridges.

The software is painful... not particularly graphical, with keyboard shortcuts galore. The best thing about the software is that it is an early example of open source... they encourage you to copy as often as you like."
