EML Poly Box

via this auction

"This is a very rare and unusual keyboard that acts as a unique accessory for any monophonic synthesizer or sound source. Plug a mono source into the input of the Poly Box and it will take the input waveform and allow you to play chords with it, effectively turning a mono source into a polyphonic output. It also has its own internal oscillators, so it can generate polyphonic sound all by itself. You can lock a chord on the Poly Box and then vary the pitch of the mono input, thereby changing the root pitch of the output chord. Additional controls allow you to add an additional tone either one or two octaves below the input, and to transpose everything down an octave, as well as adjust brilliance and add phasing. This unit takes your mono synth into a whole new world of polyphony. Check out a demonstration video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5miWpNpyjA" (previously posted here)

Arp Sequencer - Model 1623

via this auction

"This is a vintage analog sequencer in excellent condition. It can generate a single sequence of control voltages of up to 16 steps or two sequences of up to 8 steps each. These control voltages are typically used to effect the pitch of an analog synthesizer, but can be routed to any analog input accepting voltage control, like filter cutoff, resonance, etc. It is very versatile, as the control voltages can be assigned to any of three busses, allowing various effects like sequences of different tempos and timings and the ability to chain to other similar sequencers..."

Free Weekly Ableton Live Rack # 15: AfroDJMac Fender Feedback

YouTube Uploaded by AfroDjMac on Jul 4, 2011

"Here's two instrument racks I created using screeching feedback from my Fender Mustang and Jag-Stang guitars, played through my sea-foam green Fender Deluxe. Surprisingly, despite coming from such a loud and wild source, these racks are fairly mellow and reminiscent of a vintage keyboard. In the video, I show you how the racks work and take you through the effects. I also spend a little time explaining how I achieve the mapping on my racks. Enjoy and spread the word :)

Download the rack here: http://bit.ly/freesynth15

**Non Live users: You can use the samples in your DAW of choice**

Thanks for watching :)

And some additional info vi AfroDJMac:
"AfroDJMac here, back again with another free Ableton Rack, number 15 "Fender Feedback Rack." Being a guitarist, I always loved the sound of the electric guitar growling over into harmonically rich feedback. So I set up my Fender Mustang and Fender Jag-Stang, ran them through my trusty sea-foam green Fender Deluxe, cranked up the gain and began sampling. If you were there, listening to all that noise I was making, you''d be surprised at how the final product turned out. More like a vintage electric piano, rich and warm in flavor, I might even call this instrument "mellow." Even though, in all honesty, I was hoping for something as ruthless as the source material, this instrument has warmth and character oh so pleasing to my ear.

Here's the rack: bit.ly/freesynth15

After doing this for 15 weeks now, I've reflected back to when I first began releasing these racks, and I had no idea how many people could be reached nor how nice it'd be to hear from people all over the world. Creating these racks is truly a pleasure and I thank you for spreading the word. :)"
