Roland GR-100

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"Early 1980's Roland GR-100 polyphonic guitar synthesizer unit, excellent condition, all functions work as they should. Sounds great!! Classic Roland filter, vibrato, chorus, and features an even more sophisticated hex-distortion circuit than the GR-300 model. The hex-fuzz offers incredible clarity for each string, you can acheive that 'clear distortion' reminiscent of Brian May or Robert Fripp. And there is also a separate VCF circuit for each string! You can plug in a CV pedal (not included) for hands-free controlled filter sweeps. Very inspiring to play and harder to find than the GR300. LIghtning-fast, responsive analog synth circuitry with no lag-time! Requires a Roland G-808, G-505, G-303, G-202 guitar controller and cable.
Please note: this unit will not work with the later Roland GK-series MIDI pickups, it uses a 24 pin cable which is NOT included.

Title link takes you to more shots in a flickr set by missmillogram, sent my way via ISO50 / Tycho.

Update: Looks like there is one up for auction with some of the same shots and some different.

technik - troprecordings.de

Title link takes you to the studio page for technik. The two shots to show the diversity of what you will find there.

Above is tph (Thomas P. Heckmann) and the machines.

Below is the PPG Realizer - this was in essence going to be the first synth to specifically model other synths. An image of the synth to be modeled would appear on the screen with lines connecting the knobs you see to the parameters in the image. A Minimoog was frequently shown.

Kitsch Space Drum Dub Disco Synth Sound Effect

via this auction.
"Freak Machine! This is a weird little sound effects box which dub dj`s used to use to toast with - has a little speaker built in and two screws at the back to wire an output to (I can do that for a coupla quid if you need). You`ll have heard the sounds on this thing used on various and nefarious rekkids from back in the day - generally manipulated in some way. True analogue & sounds it - get some Moorish Madess in the mix Bwana! Runs on 2 x walkman batteries (not supplied unless I can find a pair) all the way to Revolutionary Dub Heaven!"

Anyone know more about this piece, specifically who made it and the actual name of the model?

Navs Clockbox

via Navs:
"Navs' Clockbox: a compact 8-Step analogue sequencer featuring clock divide, odd step, random reset and speed settings. Oh, and loads of pretty LEDs.

Obviously inspired by Schneider's Jimibox and Doepfer's Vanity Cases - I know, I could have saved myself the grief, and calloused hands, but the A_Sol SQ8 is just too damn deep (10cm) to fit in one of those boxes!

Modules used: A_Sol SQ8, Doepfer A-160 + A-161 Clk Div/ Seq, A-147 VCLFO, MNT Mini PSU. Random function provided by A_Sol SH-NZ (in main suitcase).

Oh, the legending is obviously Photoshopped. I'll make a real sticker as soon as I fix my printer ;)

Cheers,
Navs

PS More modular tests coming in the first week of August. Meantime, be sure to check out the rest of the site and forum!
