"original Taurus pedals. It is used and is missing one key (low D) that was broken before I got it. It was previosly owned by Lynda Millard of "DreamTrybe" from Austin TX. She did the artwork seen on the instrument. It is acrylic paint and will peel off easily. It functions at all levels but has some intermittant indicator LEDs on a button or two."

"A friend of mine has asked me to compare the two modules. So here goes.
Are they just noise machines.? Are these musical? Who cares?? They are handmade beasts. If you like britney spears (no offence to B) this module is not for you.
I found that Both are really Really hard to tame. But possibly the makers dont intend that they "behave". In the 1st demo of the 676 Ive got a single CV signal from the Autobot (Miami acid) , duplicated and then plugged into the OCS1 & OSC2 inputs on the 676. I don't think its meant to track Hz/v or 1v/oct.
The other modulation inputs respond to LFOs and envelopes. It has 5 CV inputs
Maybe a gate triggering an envelope might produce interesting results. The 3 switches are described as normal (up) and mayhem (down). I think this says it it all. :-)
Its Worth future experimentation if you like stepping outside the comfort zone
Beware ..the sound may be harsh for some.
I'll compare the trog 666 next
Thanks to Matt of Rhythmactive for the Trogotronic modules"
Trogotronic M666 demo

"Ok now the 666... the number of the beast. Im expecting the apocalypse now.
Its got 9 CV inputs. Ive got the same single CV signal that I used with the 676. Its from the Autobot (Miami acid) , duplicated and then plugged into the OCS1 & OSC2 inputs.
Ive added 2 extra Cv signals from the snazzy FX. OMG.,,, there are still 5 left unused
Lots of burp, fart and swarms of locust noises.
Thanks to Matt of Rhythmactive for the Trogotronic modules"

"In this video I compare similar string patches of the Jupiter 80 and the Jupiter 8. What I have found in this case is that if you play a single note and compare, the sound is very similar between both Jupiters. However, if you play chords you can hear a difference in which the Jupiter 80 has a very nasal effect to the sound, especially in the higher octaves. Both keyboards were played with the EQ flat including the patch eq on the JP80. All effects were turned off."

"Brass arpeggio played on the Jupiter 6, Choir on the Jupiter 8, and JP8 5ths pad played on the Jupiter 80."
I thought this was pretty cool. The following is the actual video description from the the band on YouTube. It's great to see successful bands directly support the makers like this. Neon Indian also worked with Bleep Labs on the PAL198X (links below).
"Lars Larsen is an electronics designer and multimedia artist in Austin, Texas. Larsen's work focuses on synergistic relationships between technology and subject, and the resurrection of forgotten pre-Computer Age technologies. Over the past few years, he and partner Edward Leckie of Sydney, Australia have been developing an analogue video synthesizer called the LZX Visionary in the tradition of esoteric video art tools used in the 1970's. The LZX Visionary manipulates and creates images in the same way a normal synthesizer does for sounds. Mind Drips is the first music video to utilize this unique synthesizer, and all of its visual effects are recorded in real-time using techniques such as abstract pattern synthesis, video feedback, and analog compositing.
