Cynthia Twin Wasp Filters In Stock

"Delight in the double sting of the Twin Wasp Filter!

This is actually two complete Multimode Wasp filter circuits joined together at the hip in a fascinating yin-yang relationship. There is only one input and one output to and from the pair of filters, so they work as a single Super Wasp with a variable internal signal relationship control that can be dialed from serial to parallel and all of the fascinating sonorities in between.

We've combined the really novel features of two different filters originally from the creators of the imaginative WASP and Oscar keyboard synthesizers manufactured in Oxford England back in the late twentieth century.

Unique to the delightfully quirky WASP is it's clever use of a CMOS logic chip in place of traditional op amps to form its 12db state variable type filter. They have adjustable resonance, but will not self-resonate. They do however have variable distortion controls!"

Includes original 32-page instructional book Using the GNOME Micro-Synthesizer, which explains music theory and gives numerous example patches (knob/switch setting combinations), such as WIND, SNARE DRUM, ELECTRO-SAX, etc. Concludes with schematic and description of each circuit. Booklet is in good condition, except that the staples have been removed from the binding.

"This item here is a Linn Sequencer manufactured back in 1985 prior to Linn Electronics [LE] closing down and Roger Linn moving on to develop the MPC-60 for Akai. This sequencer has the last latest revision operating system installed before LE closed down; 5.17. I was able to test this disk drive with some floppies that I picked up the other day and it does in fact work. These drives are very rare and cost over one-hundred dollars when you find them. The internal memory of the unit can hold 10440 notes. Using the disk drive, you can store 110,000 notes or more according to the Forat website. This is a prime example of awesome workmanship by Roger Linn and shows that he had the sequencers nailed before he started working for Akai. This unit here excels and gives you plenty of options. It's simple to use, as easy as using a tape cassette deck.

The LCD is crisp and the backlight works great. It passes the memory test as well. The operating condition is excellent. The cosmetic condition on the face is excellent, looks great mounted. The chassis is sort of beat up as you can see. The rear of it looks pretty good too! In this auction you will receive:

1x LinnSequencer [Linn Sequencer] 32 Track MIDI Recorder
1x power chord
9x ds/dd disks for use with the disk drive, there were 10, but one disappeared somewhere from the little one. ;)
2x floppie drive cleaner disks and no solution, but an empty solution bottle.
1x copy of the www.forat.com/sequencer/ information/instructions printed out."

Built in drawer.
