Roland VP-330 VOCODER MKII
via this auction
"vintage 1980 Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus Synthesizer. This synth is responsible for the legendary sound heard on so many classic records, from Phil Collins 'in the air tonight' , 'Mr blue sky' by ELO to New order 'blue monday' and many more, 'blade runner' soundtrack by Vangelis and of course Kraftwerk. The vocoder section, for me, is the best ever made. Then you have the greatest sounding analogue string synth ever, together with the incredible analogue human voice section. Add in the Roland stereo Chorus Ensemble section and you have one of the most beautiful sounding analogue synthesizers Roland ever built. It's crazy good...The vocoder also has an external input so you can feed anything into it such as a drum machine for example. Estimates vary about how many were of these were made. 1500-2000 seems the popular number quoted. Very rare Euro power 220/240 volt version. This is the MKII version"Roland VP-330 VOCODER MK1

"blue sky, clouds, mopho & juno 6 x
the mopho being a sequencer, the 1st sequence going to the 1st oscillator, going up in octaves, then down...
the 2nd sequence going to the 2nd oscillator going up in 5th's,
slightly different lengths between the 2 sequences,
i'm controlling the pitch of both oscillators or just changing one of them... swapping between the 2-pole and 4-pole filters, changing the clock (sometimes twice as fast) and of course the cutoff / resonance of the filter...
the juno 6 being just it's beautiful synthy self...
the music was recorded on friday 1st may, the sky footage was shot a week later on the 8th may, only an hour or so before my brand new baby niece charlotte was born..."

Resonant Lowpass Gate Project PCBs Available
"This is a third cousin PCB that is a derivative of the famous Buchla 292c Lopass Gate. Don Buchla himself gave approval to this endeavor for us all to learn a bit more about analog synthesizer module design, and for this we owe him a debt of gratitude as a true scholar and gentleman. This is not the first, nor will it be the last Lopass Gate module to come out to the world. People have become transfixed on the magic of Vactrol's which are a combination of a resistor and LED in a light-tight package that seals out the light of the world yet somehow glows with an internal magic, that for the Synth_DIY crowd becomes hard to ignore."more info here
