Roland VariOS synthesizer - Jupiter 8 /TB-303 / Studio
via this auction
Virtual Jupiter-8 and TB-303 from Roland that only appeared in the VariOS rack. Makes you wonder how successful they might be in hardware clones.

Korg MS03 Signal Processor Demo
YouTube via dragonfly2270 | July 01, 2010
"This is a demo of my Korg MS03 Signal Processor for sale on Ebay."
via this auction
"The Korg MS-03 vintage monophonic pitch to voltage converter interface. This unit produces VCO CV (control voltage) signals and trigger (gate) signals so that you can use another synth’s audio output ,an electric guitar, microphone, or other transducer output (from an acoustic instrument, for example) to "play" a synthesizer. A variety of remote control input jacks let you use foot switches for more freedom and flexibility during live performance. With this amazing unit you can instantly put together your own guitar synthesizer, vocal synthesizer, etc., by simple connection with any synthesizer equipped with VCO CV IN (Roland Oct/V or Korg and Yamaha Hz/V)and TRIGGER (Gate) IN input jacks.
This unit is in perfect working condition.I have posted a video on You Tube demonstrating the unit in action – I patch a Korg MS20’s audio output into the MS03 which then sends CV and trigger signals to a Korg Monopoly synth."

"The Drone Scape by Arius Blaze - an ongoing series of works intended specifically for a broad range of drone - from lo-fi to extremely rich and lush, similar in nature to the Drum Scape series, though also quite different from any other folktek work. On the other hand, it's also capable of glitch, bleeps and blips, odd beats, shifting arpeggiation and all varieties of noise.
The Drone Scape X (one of four identical works) can be found here;

Studio Electronics Omega 8
A couple of demos below featuring the Omega 8 in via Mr. Array of Ocean Orbit. Note this Omega 8 is up for sale here.
"This one has a nice custom chrome face and an extra filter installed on voice one. The standard filters across the 4 voices are the Moog and SEM combo. I believe that the extra filter on voice 1 is an ARP filter. It certainly doesn't sound like a 303 filter to me, and it's in the AUX1 slot, which rules it out being a CS-80 filter, which can only fit into Aux 2."

8BIT GUITAR - PULSEWIDTH SEQUENCING
YouTube via 4NIM4L57YL3 | June 28, 2010
Thanks to Vblank and Batsly Adams for their help. Vblank gave me some programming lessons and Batsly helped me choose the correct components to use.
Thanks to Bucky from for being my camera man on this one.
Thanks to Part Time (my cat) for trying to get into every video i post. ...gives me chiptune street cred yo.
This a CV sequencer i built (with an arduino microcontroller). It Sequences the pulse width of my guitar. I got the idea from tracking (composing) in famitracker, LSDJ and Goattracker. When you compose for the NES or the Gameboy, there are tons of effects you can choose from to make square waves more complex and interesting sounding. So, once i saw that the Pulsemonger pedal had a CV input for the pulsewidth i had to buy it. There are a couple reasons i built this with an arduino: I wanted to make it expandable. In the future, I may add some tap tempo functionality or i thought maybe it might be fun to actually hook the sequencer up to my Gameboy (through the linker port) so the sequencing would happen in relation to the tempo of the song i'm playing."

This demo video shows the instruments, pattern record and and some pattern of the Drumtraks." I used no external effects, EQ or compression. Only the pure Drumtraks sound."

Tek Kit HD Step Sequencer DJ Mixer for the iPad, DJ Set Part One
YouTube via iPadTekKit | July 01, 2010
"We are about to do a massive update to Tek Kit. We have added a heap of new features including: full step sequencing capabilities, more effects, custom user samples, a swing function and master tube distortion. (just to mention a few) There are still a few loose ends to tidy up, and a bit of user interface work to be done but the end product is a fully fledged electronic music production and performance tool. This video is a sneak peak before the final release occurs, and is just a mess around session just to show off some of the features, and uses a couple of tracks composed by Proxycon (one of our fantastic contributors) as well as a few fill in beats made by the Tek Kit team.
Long Live The Beat!"

Outside of the picture there is a 40106 quad oscilator to provide the clocks and audio signals and there is 1 starve pot for the board and 1 for the quad oscilator on the breadboard.
The video is mostly a free running patch with me using the starve-pots to control the power to the board and oscilators, it gets a little wild sometimes :)"
