[cubisteffects] CMOS Mini-Synthesizer for Sound Summit 2011
YouTube Uploaded by cubisteffects on Sep 12, 2011
"This is a video of the CMOS Mini-Synth I will be showing workshoppers how to make at Sound Summit 2011.
Sound Summit is a weekend festival that celebrates a wide range of innovative and independent music from Australia and beyond. It features talks, panels, lots of live shows and workshops, where the making of the mini-synth is one.
The mini-synth features a CMOS chip - an easy-to-find and cheap IC from most electronics suppliers. The mini-synth features dual square wave oscillators with a pulse LFO to modulate the blended output. The result is a droning, gating, harmonic bass synth that sounds a lot bigger than it looks.
The workshop is suited for beginners and will go through basic electronics and skills, hopefully with all attending leaving with a drone monster. For a higher quality audio clip, go to http://soundcloud.com/cubisteffects/cubisteffects-cmos-mini

"OVERVIEW: The Pianomate consists of 2 'tonebars' (one bass one treble) that sit on top of the keys of a piano or full sized keyboard. When a key on the piano is pressed, a small plunger on the tonebar drops, triggering that note to play through the Pianomate's amp. Release the piano key and the plunger is pushed back up, ending that note. It's really quite simple.
AMP: All of the sound controls are located on the top of the Pianomate's amplifier. A 3-way rocker switch controls the 'Balance'. (bass, both,treble) Another 3-way rocker selects the 'Voice'. (french accordion, organ/flute,jazz buzz) To the right of that are two volume knobs. (Pianomate vol., Mic vol.) Further to the right is another 3-way switch which controls vibrato. Between the two volume knobs is access to a small trim pot which allows fine tuning of vibrato speed. The front of the amp has an output jack, mic input jack, pedal vol. jack, a small tuning adjuster, thumb-screw access to the amps fuse, and a lighted on/off switch.
PEDAL: The swell/volume pedal connects to the pedal vol. jack on the front of the amp. It does what it says, controls the volume of the Pianomate.
This auction includes the Pianomate Amplifier, Two 'Tonebars', the volume pedal, and all cables. I do not have a manual, sorry.
The two tonebars and the foot pedal store neatly in the back of the amp. Also, fine tuning the Pianomate is easy. Just remove the handle assembly and you'll find a bank of small trim pots. Each pot controls the pitch of 3 plungers. For example, the first trimmer will tune the C, C#, and D notes of the bass tone bar...
MORE INFO: Made in England, but it's on American (110/120) voltage. The amp is 10 watts. Serial Number is 657. A tag deep inside the amplifier dated the manufacture year as 1972."

Ultra RARE SEIKO DS-202 Keyboards Synthesizer with DS-310 & DS-320
via this auction"This thing is as mysterious as it is rare. Much talked about and seldom seen and never offered on E-bay because of its rare-ity. You can see this on YouTube and a host of other websites. Not a lot of them made to begin with and not a whole lot of them sold in the U.S. of A. These have a small cult following for some reason. That reason being that these are so crazy and complicated and a lot of fun. The gadgets alone will keep you occupied for hours. These were made in Japan for Seiko so you know they have quality electronics. This has been in my basement for over 10 years untouched, i plugged it in and everything works like the day i bought it. Yes i am the original owner of this beauty. The wife wanted it back when so i bought it for her and i remember it cost over 1000 dollars. I guess i had more money back then. I cant remember when i bought it but i believe it was the late 80's ?..." via Joel
