Roland GK-1 Synthesizer Driver

images at this auction
"For those of you vintage synthesizer enthusiasts that would like to be able to utilize one of your favorite guitars as a controller without having to drill holes or modify that special guitar here’s the solution for you. With this GK-1 driver package all you have to is mount the driver (with controls), and the hex pickup to your guitar with the double sided adhesive tape that’s already attached to the back of these two pieces. The purpose of the shim is there in case you need to make a height adjustment to the hex pickup and it also has the double sided adhesive tape. The double sided tape (like poster tape) shouldn't leave any permanent marks on your guitar or damage the finish. Simply wipe down the guitar with a warm damp cloth if and when you decided to remove the the unit and you're done .... it's that simple. However, if you should prefer a more permanent mounting by using screws this option is also available to you. All of the components offered in this package are in great shape (as depicted by the photos) and fully functional.

If you’ve been following the price of controllers, and 24-pin cables then you know these controllers can run into the thousands of dollars and the 24-pin cables will cost you between $275-$300. Moreover, you’ll probably end up having purchased a controller that’s pretty much a “one-trick-pony”. In other words it may not sound authentic when not being used as a synth controller. This is the most economical and flexible way to go if you're wanting to get into those vintage synth sounds without selling your grandmother's "Hoveround Scooter". I have a GR-300, and 24-pin cable listed in one of my other auctions (in case you want to verify the price of the 24-pin cable alone). Most controllers as stated above will cost over $1000.00, depending on the model and condition of the controller.

You can connect this unit to a GR-300, GR-100, GM-70, GR-700, MC-1, or even the venerable Korg Z3."

babyBotte Repackaged

remember baby Botte?

"This is the new babyBotte. I decided against the cardboard shoebox and dumped it. So I got a TRIPP container set from IKEA at first for putting the babybotte on the small square one and an 8MHz avrSynth I have lying around, inside the bigger one. My wife gave the idea of putting the babyBotte inside the round one.. So, I designed a panel that I would print on photographic paper and stick it on top of the lid and open holes to it to insert the pots"
