DRUMAXX SOUNDS
"The Drumaxx percussion modelling instrument gives you total control over 16 physically modelled drum pads that can be routed to independent outputs for external effects processing. Great, but why should you care when the internet is awash with drum samples? In two words, expressive control. Once a drum sound is recorded, the performance and modulation options are limited to filtering, volume, or similar 1-dimensional effects. When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar 'machine-gun' effect and it just sounds mechanical. Multi-sampled, multi-layered drums can overcome this limitation but need multi-megabyte or even Gigabyte! drum libraries. Even then, you are still limited to the sounds originally recorded.
Drumaxx is not based on samples or even commonly used 'synthesis'
techniques, where oscillators are mixed and the result is always 'electronic'. Drumaxx uses modelling algorithms to create bass drums, hi-hats, snares, realistic and electronic sounds too. But what about the traditional 'Achilles' heel' of synthesis, cymbals? Drumaxx creates cymbals and metallic percussion also."

via this auction"The original joy stick had been broken off and a functional replacement has been added by my tech. A small whole was drilled in the front chasis where an extra knob had been added (removed during recent service/tune-up)."
OSCar synthesizer
via this auction"this is one of the very few latter models which came with built in midi, great little quirky synth with excellent filters.. this model has 12 user storage spaces for sounds/waveforms and a further 24 sound storage spaces accessible by the keyboard.
doesnt sound like much by todays standards, but u need those extra 24 when you start playing around with it,, 2 osc so get some fat sounds by slightly detuning one of the oscs ,, pwm on it is very usefull also.."
Clacktronics Wasp Drive - Synthesizer Filter in a Box
via this auction"Protect your ears!! The Wasp Drive is a unique distortion / filter / auto-wah device and the name is no coincidence; It uses the same VCF model as from the legendary EDP wasp but adding tweaks and modifications to really bring out the noise!! Built into a robust folded aluminum case, with large chunky layout , an intuitive layout, LED rate indicator and rubber feet, it is an excellent choice for live performance as well as experimentation in the studio.
Controls:
Cutoff - Adjusts the cutoff point of the filter
'Q' - This is resonance, at max it self oscillates
Response - Has Low Pass, Band Pass or High Pass option
LFO speed - speed of the cutoff modulating LFO
LFO Depth - depth at which the LFO modulates the cutoff
Gain - capable of driving the input up-to 10x
A diverse filter capable of adding grit and punch to drums, ambient sweeps, mellow wah and plain crazy noise.
Customer Quotes
"When it's fed a signal from my korg M500 or Yamaha cs01 it makes the filter sweeps sound incredibly waspy - especially with the resonance up high. I'm using it live with my band in conjunction with a Copilotfx Molecule (a tremolo pedal where the rate of modulation depends on the frequencies present at the input). The ability to drive the input is fantastic and I've found that this alone can give quite a unique sounding distortion. It sounds great with my Casio SK-8 as well, playing the 'organ' preset driven very hard into the pedal, and using the bandpass with high resonance and lfo modulation has produced some incredible rhythmic textures." - Chris le Monde of CLOUT!
To keep the price down and because it uses a standard tip negative 9v input that guitar pedals use (such as Boss, Ibanez, EHX etc ) it does not come with its own power supply. But they are available at a discounted extra cost of £6 for a UK power adapter and £10 for USA, Australia and EU power adapter.
