MaoMakMaa Tique Tone : 555 Timer Experimental Drum Synth

YouTube via maomakmaa.
"This wicked circuit experiment gives hours and hours of different bleeps and klonckcz, bassdrum-like sounds and rhythms. I created this on a breadboard with 2x 555 Timer and 1x 556 Timer.
I`ll work on this circuit and release the pcb layout,schematic and more.
I added a MS-20 Filter Clone from FolkUrbanMusic: link, and an amplifier from runoffgroove.com, Little Gem v.3.0 12 Potis,4 Switches,5 nice flickering LEDs"

Heaven for Chris

"Surrounded by things he loves. The place had about 250 individual musical instrument stores."

Reminds me of FiveG. Anyone know where this is?

Update via QuasarsGlow in the comments:
"It is in Seoul, South Korea. The place is huge. Its called Nagwon or Nangwon. I forget which, but yes, about 2-300 shops full of musical kit. Loads of pianos, guitars, brass, woodwinds, synths, effects pedals. Chris in the photo ended up buying a Mu-tron biphase effects pedal and a left-handed cutaway acoustic guitar for about $700US all told."

"This site will one day detail modifications (mods) to all sorts of electronic instruments. For now however, it documents mods of my Roland TR-606, turning it into a Roland TR-666. The TR-666 is a beast that is part 606, part 808 and part devil.

Basically, as you can see from my pictures, I've added 19 new knobs (one is internal), and a switch to a Roland TR-606 to allow for some pretty smooth or freaky sound control. The new controls are:

BD. Tune, Tone, Decay, Pitch. (also internal max. decay limit)
SD. Tune, Snappy, Decay
HT. Tune
LT. Tune, Pitch
HH (common). LPF, BPF
OHH. Decay
CHH. Decay
CY. BPF (common to HH also), BPF (separate), Decay
System Noise Amount.
Tempo Fine Tune"

Oberheim FVS-1 Synth Programmer Panel

via this auction.
Details:
"This is the front panel from an Oberheim FVS-1 or EVS-1 Polyphonic Synth Programmer. This is one of the very rare ones with reversed graphics, and is black with white lettering. Completely original and very rare Oberheim part. I have been told that they only built 2 of each model in black to take to the trade shows, and made 1 small batch of these blackface panels. This one appears to have been installed in a Programmer, but is in excellent condition and is a really neat piece of Oberheim history."
