Pro One and Oberheim DXa Track

"This is a track made only with the Pro-One and Oberheim DXa. There is some human hand claps over the snare. But the rest are custom patches on my Pro-One."

EMS at the London Science Museum

via isotopeofme:

"While wandering past Cray mainframes and Mac I prototypes, this little guy from EMS caught my eye. A bit of a shame that it is living out the rest of its days behind glass. I wonder if there are any curators who slip in at night to eek some bleeps and squeals out of it?"

Update via Tom in the comments: "Next to it is a turntable with "Planet Rock" on it :)"

NOT NAMM: intelligel designs Vulcan Expander

via intelligel on muff's:
"Ok I am finally back on track with this. It took a while to source the ribbon cables needed (8 custom made 6 pin IDC cables per module to connect the the switches to the Vuclan module) and there was some delays with the PCBs.

Below you can see photos of a built pcb and the drawing for the metalphoto panel (6HP).

Pricing:

$110 for kit (includes everything you need: panel, parts, pcb, wire/cables... all you need is solder and solder iron). Takes about 1-2hrs to build.

$150 for assembled module. (You will still need to solder two wires to the Vulcan but everything else is done).

I have tested all the functionality and it works perfectly! So fun to select the waveforms and the external ins work great as well (so useful, very glad I added this feature)

The only thing I made a mistake on was I did not normal the reset jack A to reset jack B. This is easy to change by adding a single wire but many people may prefer this functionality to stay as it is (Reset A is always independent from B).

Please contact me for payment details and shipping quotes based on where you live. Also include your e-mail address that you use for paypal

All parts are ready to ship except for the Metalphoto panels. (Lead time approximately 2 weeks). If you are purchasing an assembled module the lead time may be a little longer but I would hope for them to be ready within 3 weeks from today.

Build/mod instructions will be posted on my website soon..."

Update via intellijel in the comments: "I should point out that this expansion basically turns your Vulcan into a logic module as well since it provides external inputs to the SUM/DIFF/MAX/MIN circuit (which work really well). See the Muffwiggler forum for more details...."

Jomox M resonator stereo filter processor

via this auction
Also see the seller's other items.

"This little and inexpensive filter box is just incredible, although you won't see what's inside at first.

The envelope follower is level independent and has 2 actual envelopes internally - one fixed and one changeable referential envelope. They both are divided analog which produces a level independent envelope within far ranges.

The filters are made from discreet parts and form a 24 pole lowpass filter transistor cascade.

They can - in any thinkable way - be self feedbacked and be coupled or feedbacked with each other, so that extreme sounds and chaotic states create - all what you need today for creative analog sound design.

Unbelievable bass gains or screaming scratch sounds are no problem.

The mix pots are zeroed in center position; any other angle will couple or feedback negatively or positively. FM in both directions is also available.

Connections: Power 9V~ AC, Stereo In 2x 1/4 inch, Stereo Out 2x 1/4 inch
