Analog Solutions Oberkorn Silver Edition

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
"This is a Mk1 Oberkorn that includes the midi trigger converter, current models omit this feature to save cost. I made a custom front panel in silver to replace the rather grim black panel it came with as standard, and replaced all of the led's with nice icy blue ones, and fitted double led's at positions 1, 5, 9, and 13. I also fitted led's to show the state of gates a,b,c,x and y at each step. These enhancements make what is already a great sequencer into something even better and truly unique."

The Oberkorn is an excellent, feature-laden sequencer that offers way more than anything else in its price range. However, I'd recommend using it with a voltage quantizer (I've been using a Doepfer quantizer) if you're going to be using it to control pitch as there is a little bit of interaction between the rows. There is an excellent review of this sequencer at link."

Semifluid Graphical LCD Oscilloscope

"Using the PIC18F2550 GLCD Text Test as a basis for further experimentation, I put together a simple and accurate graphical oscilloscope using a PIC18F2550 microcontroller and a AGM1264F graphical LCD. The oscilloscope measures the average voltage, the maximum voltage, the minimum voltage, the peak-to-peak voltage, and the zero-crossing frequency for a DC signal over 100 samples. The oscilloscope has a built in edge trigger function that can be set to capture on rise or fall (or disabled altogether). The time scale for the display is variable and can be easily redefined using the changeTimeDivision function. Likewise, the voltage range can be change to 0-5V, 0-2.5V, and 0-1.25V. The main limitations of this oscilloscope include relatively slow acquisition time and sampling rate (~60kHz) and the fact that the inputs are limited by the constraints of the internal ADC. However, it is a very nice display and I highly suggest you view the videos to see it in action."

Analog returns to TapeOpCon

Via Peter Grenader:

"Electro-Acoustic Research has been invited to return to Tape Op Magazine's annual TapeOpCon convention at the Hilton El Conquistador Resort in Tucson from June 8 to June 10. Plan B Products will again be on display and awaiting your enquiring tweaks. And due to it's popularity in 2006, another Analog Synthesis symposium is scheduled, this year with Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails, Dave Wright of Not Breathing and EAR's Peter Grenader. Equipment will include the EAR Performance System, Dave Wright's monster modular, a Buchla 200e and a huge array of Plan B products. The panel discussion will be held at the El Conquistador Resort on Sunday from 10 to 12 which will include live demo's, a performance, an open discussion on the renaissance of analog synthesis and plenty of audience hands-on ops. Make sure to arrive early as seats filled up quickly in 2006.

MOOG Little Phatty Darkside

via Amos of MOOG Music and Future Wars, on the AH list:

"I just wanted to share some pics of this... I got a local company to put a black anodized finish on the aluminum back panel of my LP (was not expensive, either!) and had my buddy at the graphics shop down the hall make a gloss-black Moog logo to go with the satin black finish.

I say this is in-progress because now the end caps look incongruous... my two favorite ideas for how to finish them is either to have solid CNC-machined aluminium ends made (difficult, expensive) or go with wood ends stained in a black/graphite finish."

Title link takes you to more shots. Note if you saw this on AH, there are more shots in this set. I asked Amos if I could back them up and put up a post. He gave me the thumbs up and gave me the links to more shots.

Cheer Time

"According to the lettering on the PCB inside the Boss SYB-5 pedal, it's 'CHEER TIME'."

Update: Steven's notes about the syb-5. Also, title link takes you to more shots sent in via loscha.
