MODULUXXX - Modular Synthesizer Mini-Festival

"Moduluxxx is a 2 day thermo voltaic burn out celebrating and exploring modular synthesis. Somewhere between a museum, a LAN party and a pet show, Moduluxxx will be an space for vicarious enjoyment, learning, rubber necking, starting a dangerous new hobby (fiscally speaking), kicking tires or brushing shoulders with your peeps.

Around the world modular synthesis is experiencing a renaissance of interest and experimentation, with new developments from high bandwidth video synthesis systems through to reinventions of granular synthesis in an analog context. In a creative audio world that is dominated by software, saved files and presets, modular synthesis offers no recall, each patch is unique and perhaps unrepeatable. The equipment itself is constructed in small manufacturing runs, often by hand, designed by dedicated enthusiasts operating out of their lounge rooms.

So what is modular synthesis anyway? It is a style of synthesiser design where the architecture is left open. Each element, whether it be a sound generator, filter, controller, modulator or effect can be reconfigured in an infinite variety of arrangements.

What is so great about it? Your mind can go wild with the possibilities! You might never finish a song or track again!!

via the seller:
"Here is a super rare Kawai Macro Controller, specifically created (for a very short period of time) for the K5000 series synthesizers. These are almost never found on eBay these days. Upon testing this unit, I discovered one of the battery terminals to be corroded. I cleaned it up with contact cleaner, inserted 3 AA batteries and continued to test it successfully on a K5000R. All knobs functioned and controlled the K5000R.

This is wonderful addition for programming the K5000W and K5000R synths- makes it much easier. It has a MIDI IN which you could plug a keyboard controller into and a MIDI OUT/Merge which merges the MIDI IN signal with the control signals of the unit itself."

This is essentially the knob section of the K5000S.
