"Broadwave" Modular Synthesizer

via this auction
Note this is not an ARP 2600 clone.
"This synth is almost entirely made from Ray Wilson's designs and his high quality PCB's (www.musicfromouterspace.com). It's a completely home made affair, and as such I would prefer bidders to be familiar with Synth DIY techniques, as calibration and trouble shooting is not for the feint of heart : )

No keyboard is supplied, and as such you will need either a MIDI to CV converter or Keyboard capable of delivering the standard 1v/Oct, Gate and Trigger.

The case is made from 12mm, black Tolex covered MDF (unfortunately the Tolex on the back panel has started to lift, so will need to be re-glued), with protected corners and carrying handle. All the panels are made from 2mm aluminium with dye sublimated graphics directly onto a 0.5mm aluminium substrate. As you can see from the pics, the panels are mounted quite crudely onto the MDF frame and would benefit from someone who's prepared to spend a bit of TLC on it. All circuit schematics and calibration info is included.

The measurements are: 215mm (D) x 840mm (W) x 490 (H) and weighs 16 kilos

As it stands, all modules are fully working and consists of the following:

4 x VCO - 3 x CV Mod inputs, 1 x Linear FM input, 2 x PWM CV inputs, Sync in/out, Saw, Square, Triangle, Sine outs

1 x 24dB Low Pass VCF - 4 x Signal inputs, 2 x CV Mod inputs, 1 x Resonance CV Mod input, VCF out

1 x 12dB State Variable VCF - As above but with Low, Band and High Pass outputs

2 x VCA - Signal in, 2 x CV Mod inputs, Log/Lin select, VCA out

3 x ADSR - Gate in, Trigger in, Short/Long Time switch, Gate indicator, ADSR out

2 x Voltage Controlled LFO - 2 x CV Mod in, 1 x PWM CV Mod in, Saw, Square, Ramp, Triangle outs

1 x Noise Module - White, High Pass, Low and Grainy out, Random Trigger out

1 x Sample & Hold with Lag - Sample in, CV for Clock Rate, Trigger out, Sync in, CV Out

2 x Ring Mod - 1 x AC Coupled, 1 x DC Coupled

4 Channel AC/DC Mixer/Inverter - Each channel has 3 inputs, Inverted output available

2 x Lag Processor

4 x Buffers (1 in 4 out)

4 x Passive Multiples (4 groups of 5, normalised for 2 groups of 10)

8 x Passive Multiples

1 x +/- 15 volt, 1A PSU - Internally mounted (From a Crumar Stratus, but does the job admirably!)

20 Patch leads to get you going!

One Module is incomplete, which was made for MIDI to CV. The panel and sockets are in place, but no electronics are supplied." See the Broadwave label below for more.

LL Electronics Oddulator and Rozzbox No More

Translated from Rozzbox.de:
"28.7.2009 Since I now dedicate other areas of need, the Oddulator unfortunately no longer published. I hereby apologize to all interested parties.
From now on, I'll have to put all my energy on a different task field, resulting in that the Oddulator won't be released. I'm sorry for all potential customers.

7.7.2009 7.7.2009 Rozzbox One V2 Synthesizers. Due to very low demand, profitability, and barely existing private reasons, the production of Rozzbox One V2 synthesizer immediately terminated. Good bye, RozzBox! I will send all customers a V2 love greeting!
Due to very too low order quantity, and because of other, more private reasons, the RozzBox One V2 Synthesizer is discontinued. Sorry, and many greetings to all of my customers!" via Roland4387

Note this was translated from German to English by Google translator so I'm sure much of the translations is distorted.
