YouTube via matrixsynth | June 25, 2010 | 2:27

"DDDM2 as Mayan Piano as made by Peter Blasser. One of only five of this limited edition, made out of a recycled piano, in the Mr Grassi [http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net/paper/index.html] shape, with pedestal and sacred geometrical aesthetic on the top. The instrument has twelve touch and four randomize nodes. You have a onoff switch for each of the two speakers, and a the case itself is microphonic by piezo and it has a phone output. So besides playing the electronics you can use the case as a sound board for tuning forks, turkey calls, and feathers.

Rheem Key Bass

via this auction

"Famous gnarly bass keyboard synth. Old "toaster" style AC power inlet replaced with cord. No lid. Finish generally EXC- but with a few hairline cracks. Keys below lower E and above upper G perform erratically. Bass booster slider works fine and adds considerable volume and girth. Tone switch works fine. Fuzz switch works fine. Mode switch works fine but the percussion mode is not a desirable effect, it results in a very short chopped note so I never have used it. Decay switch works but does not have a noticeable effect on the sound except at loud volumes. This synth sounds best (in fact it sounds great) on the "bright" tone mode with the "bass booster" slider full up for all notes between low E and upper G." inside a Rhreem Key Bass

ANALOG SYNTH MINI MODULAR 12x12 NOISE LAB

via this auction
compare to this one by the same seller

"THESE ARE THE MODULES:
---------------------------------------------
(2) BLACK JACK VCO's: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THESE VCO'S HAVE CV, LINEAR CV, AND PWM INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A LINKED PITCH CV INPUT NEAR THE JACK LABLED 'PCV' FOR SEQUENCER OR MIDI TO CV CONVERSION INPUT. THESE ARE 1V/OCT BASED AND I TUNED THEM FOR A MIDI TO CV CONVERTER USE. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VCO'S THAT I USE FOR EVERYTHING. VERY MUSICAL.

(2)ANALOG LFO: RAMP, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, & SINE WAVES. THIS LFO HAS A CV AND VARIABLE LINEAR INPUT. THIS 'VLINEAR' INPUT IS VERY UNIQUE TO THIS SYNTH. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FEATURE ON ANY OTHER PRODUCT OUT THERE. WITH THIS IN PUT YOU CAN DO ARCADE TYPE ARPEGGIOS.

(2)TOM WHILTSHIRE ADSR DIGITAL ENVELOPE GENERATOR FROM ELECTRIC DRUID SITE. THERE IS NO PCB AVAILABLE. I DID A SMALL RUN FOR MY SELF.

(1)ANALOG VCA: AUDIO INPUT, AND VCA CV INPUT

(1)DC MIXER: -WHEN THE KNOB IS PAST THE HALF POINT YOU WILL OVER DRIVE THE SOUND (CAN BE A NICE EFFECT FOR TUBE LIKE STUFF). SO THE FIRST SMALL TURN IS WHERE THE SOUND ADJUSTING IS.

(1)NOISE GENERATOR: WITH GRAIN, WHITE, PINK NOISE

(1)MS-20 VCF WITH LP AND HP FILTERING. IT HAS A BI-POLAR FM INPUT FOR POSITIVE/NEGATIVE ENV ACTION FOR EXAMPLE. IT ALSO HAS ON ONBOARD PRE-AMP INPUT TO BOOST A SIGNAL OR OVERDRIVE THE VCO SIGNAL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THERE ARE (2) 1/4" PHONO MONO OUTPUTS. (1) IS FOR LINE LEVEL MIXER OUT, AND THE OTHER IS FROM THE VCA/MASTER VOLUME OUT.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS GUIDE IS FOR ROOKIES:
VCO-> OUTS HAVE SOUND, THE INPUTS ARE TO MODULATE OR TWEAK THE PITCH. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHING ELSE TOO.

LFO->OUTS CAN HAVE SOUND AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE INPUTS ARE TO CONTROL THE SPEED. THE OUTS CAN VOLTAGE CONTROL SOMETHINE ELSE TOO.

ENV ADSR-> OUTS LABLED 'ENV' ARE CONTROLLER VOLTAGES, THESE NEVER HAVE SOUND. THESE ARE TO CONTROL SOMETHING ONLY.

VCA->THIS IS A VC AMP. THE MIXER GOES TO THIS THEN YOU CAN CONTROL IT BY PLUGGING IN SOMETHING INTO THE VCA CV INPUT. USUALLY AN ENV OUT PLUGS INTO THIS.

NOISE GENERATOR->THESE OUTS HAVE SOUND, YOU CAN ALSO USE THEM TO CONROL SOMETHING.

THE MIXER->THIS IS TO MIX AUDIO."
