trouby modular - math trigger sequencer

via this auction

"Why math? This module is based of an 4bit arithmetical-logical unit (ALU). It has clock and Start/Stop inputs and 16 trigger outputs - for each value of the 4bit result. In case of the output value they're numbered from 0-15, not 1-16 as usual. some combinations give a trigger at each output, but in different sequence ;) How it works: The ALU has two 4bit operands, which values you select by the two rotary switches. It has a 4bit operation selector itself and a arithmetical / logical switch; and a 4bit result output. The operation itself is clocked by a 4bit counter - does the 16 notes in 16th for a bar - and the result of each step goes to a line decoder (4bit to 16 lines), visualized by a 4x4 LED matrix and out to 16 separate outputs (4V TTL, near 1ms puls width). PS: don't look at the 'cooler' at the pcbof the proto ...
power is curetronic, i can do a DotCom Adatper."

Chimera Synthesis bC16

via Noisebug on Ebay

"The bC16 miniature patch synthesizer packs a fully featured VCO, LFO, envelope generator, analog VCA, analog VCF, noise sources & ring modulator all in a CD sized case CNC machined from 10mm high-grade acrylic plastic.

Fifteen color coded potentiometers control key functions, connections between synthesizer sections are done using twenty-five 2mm mini-banana sockets.

Powered by either six AAA batteries or by an external (not supplied) 9 to 12v source, the bC16 can be used free standing (internal headphone amplifier), linked to an external keyboard/sequencer or MIDI-CV converters, combined with other bC16's, etc...

Now with a 2 year warranty, advanced v3 firmware (arpeggiator, NRPN MIDI support), a price of £300.00 +delivery (& VAT in UK/EU) and hundreds of (seriously) diverse bC16 customers across the world ranging from award winning composers, industrial/electro/punk/rock/ pop/soul/new-age bands, games designers and film/TV to drone artists.

bC16 sections:
VCO: The complex VCO (actually two linked VCO's) waveshape can be adjusted through sine/triangle/sawtooth and square wave (with adjustable dutycycle). The VCO can be CV modulated (log response), FM modulated (linear response) or can be driven by MIDI NOTE values. The two linked VCO's can be offset using a control knob, CV or MIDI for rich complex tones.

LFO: Like the VCO the LFO is actually two linked low frequency oscillators with a host of modulation possibilties and waveshapes. Like the VCO the LFO can also be controlled via MIDI.

VCF: An all analog 24dB discrete ladder filter with variable cuttoff (knob and CV), adjustable resonance, specially designed to work from the low voltage busses in the bC16.

EG: The bC16 envelope generator is very easy to use, four knobs (or via MIDI) control the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters of the envelope. Set sustain to zero and the EG enters repeat mode for long VCS3 style modulation possibilites.

VCA & HEADPHONE AMP: An analog voltage controlled amplifier is provided along with an built-in headphone amplifier (volume control via grey knob).

MIDI INTERFACE: An enhanced internal MIDI interface allows control (monophonic) of:
NOTE to VCO FREQUENCY
ENVELOPE triggering (patchable trigger output)
PITCHBEND (including pitchbend amount via RPN)
PORTAMENTO on/off
PORTAMENTO rate
MODULATION (bC16 has modulation output)
REMOTE/OVERRIDE control of 12 of the 15 knobs via CC# and/or NRPN

ARPEGGIATOR: An internal arpeggiator allows you to control arpeggio's (rising, falling, rising/falling, ordered) via either an internal clock (20 to 6,000 BPM) or via an externally supplied MIDI CLOCK (BPM/2 to BPM x24).

WHITE acrylic plastic
Each bC16 is built from 3 layers of a high-grade acrylic plastic , each layer is CNC machined on both sides in-house. The sandwich is then assembled and seven bolts hold the entire unit rigidly together. Recent improvements in machining technology have improved the fit and finish."

DEITER DOEPFER STRING - PHASER

via this auction

"DR. Doepfers earliest work. 3 phase LFO driving 3 phase shift cards. Unit works, I tested it at +/- 15v, the LFO rate was high, so maby its +/- 12v? Auction includes module and original paperwork/ schematic in German. This is a rare unit, I have not seen another. It was my intention to repackage this as MOTM, bot I have TOO many projects."

STG Soundlabs VCA for Moog or Synthesizers.com modular

via this auction

"The Signal Amplifiers has 3 independent VCA elements. Two logarithmic-response AC-coupled VCAs with an initial gain control, and one linear-response VCA. The linear section is calibrated so that 5v on the control input is unity gain and 0v is null. On the logarithmic sections, 5v will achieve unity when the dial is around 3 o'clock, and distortion will be presented above that.

This module has a standard Synthesizers.com-compliant power connector and will physically mount in Synthesizers.com or Moog system cabinets and rack frames."
