Vintage UNIVOX SR-55 Drum Machine

via this auction

"The SR-55 is a very rare rhythm machine made in 1972 by Keio Electronics of Japan as Korg Mini-Pops 3, marketed in the USA by UNIVOX (Shin-ei). It features 20 rhythms, volume knob, tone knob and two 6-part variation knobs for Fox Trot/Swing. Plays great vintage beats (especially Latin rhythms), great for blues, reggae and rock. SR-55 was used by Kraftwerk early on. You can create cool train effects, and the Western beat has a hilarious horsey clip-clop sound (a la Wall of Voodoo). Run it thru delay/chorus effects pedals for some killer sounds. Perfect for sampling, home studio, live performance, bellydancing, animal husbandry or retro gear collectors!"

Midi to Trigger Interface From Obsoletetechnology

"Low cost, low part count Midi to Trigger interface with 10 Outputs.

This Midi to Trigger interface generates a TTL (5V) trigger signal per note over a range of ten notes. It can be used for example as a midi interface for vintage drum-expanders or as a multiple-trigger generator for a modular synthesizer. I developed this module in order to modify my Tama TS305."

"Here's a little project that I am offering the PCB for, inspired by and approved for (but not officially endorsed) this small run by legendary synthesizer designer Don Buchla himself. To buy a PCB, simply hit the PayPal button to the left. PCB's are only $15 each, with shipping included to anywhere on the globe. Boards are ROHS approved "lead free" materials and have a silver finish to them instead of lead. The board size is 3.8 x 2.5 inches and they should fit most cabinets. RLPG's are compatible with nearly all modular formats, but work particularly well with all the popular 3U and 5U high modules like those from Synthtech, Blacet, Doepfer, Synthesizers.com and all of the modern Euro format makers out there..."

Orders are being taken until Jan 15th. Boards are expected to go out 15 days after that. Click through above for more info.
