"Multivox CB-50 "Digital Chorus Box." This thing is very uncommon, so much so that I couldn't find a single reference to it anywhere online. It's a fairly basic solid-state analog delay, coupled with a chorus (you can only use one at a time), and is essentially a copy of the Roland DC-50 "Digital" Chorus. Stock, this thing has no delay time knob--it's ordinarily a fixed slapback. But I modded it, replacing a trimpot inside the unit with a panel-mounted knob (pictured) that does indeed allow you to adjust delay time. You can do it on the fly, creating the customary portamento-type sounds. Max delay time now seems to be around 300ms. The echoes fade out in a lowpassy way like every good delay. The intensity does not oscillate in its stock form, but I adjusted another trimpot inside the unit, and it does indeed now feed back and oscillate very satisfyingly. Chorus is pretty good--there is only an "intensity" knob, so it isn't hugely versatile, but it IS a modulated chorus, not a simple doubling effect. The echo intensity knob also seems to have some effect on it--perhaps on the LFO speed? In any event, it's a good sounding analog chorus, very much a Roland-style ensemble effect. I don't think the knobs are original, but they're like new."

Waldorf Clock and The Qrazy Synth Man

via The Qrazy Synth Man where you will find a ton of other synth info including. an ARP interview, more Waldorf shots, mp3s, and some amazing studio shots. This image gets the post as it's what brought me there.

"What is your current favorite piece of hardware?
Nord Modular G2. I haven't found a synth that better suits the type of music that I do. The knob setup, the build quality and the software editor are the best that i've seen. I use the Nord a lot to do the things that i don't want to manually do, such as random sequenced bleeps and arpeggiations. The ability to improvise with it while performing is a huge thing also."

KL-Module

"Hybrid Module für analoge Modulsynthesizer"
click here for the product page in German.

Here's the content in Googlish:
"The K311 A is the main module of the K311 series.

In the upper area (inputs) are the four inputs A - D associated with the LED. The input signals are applied to the states or HIGH LOW. As signals are LOW 0 volts to about +2 volts (or negative stresses). HIGH tensions are from about +4 volts. The area between +2 volts and +4 volts is not precisely defined. Generally, the input voltages modular systems in the usual range of -15 volts to +15 volts not.

In the middle part (Analysis), the LED outputs and the various logical operations are assigned. If the condition is true, the LED and the socket is +5 volts. In particular:

A OR B One of the inputs A or B must be HIGH.
A B XOR One and only one of the inputs A or B must be HIGH.
A AND B Both A and B inputs must be HIGH
D C OR One of the inputs must be C or D HIGH.
C D XOR One and only one of the entrances C or D must be HIGH.
C AND D inputs Both C and D must be HIGH

In the lower area is a logic inverter, the input signal to HIGH LOW or HIGH LOW for converts. The work is a way other than in an analog inverter.

Flame Clockwork Demo

"I have uploaded a short mp3 of a very bland patch that shows how the 3 seperate gate/clock outputs could be used to fire off individual envelopes in a patch. the summed CV/LFO is routed to the 1v/oct input of a Plan B Model-15."

You can find the demo and more images on Noise Source.
