"If you're thinking about bidding on this synth, then you probably already know what it is. The Xpander, along with the Matrix 12, was one of the last synthesizers designed and produced by Oberheim Electronics, and it represented the pinnacle of their voice architecture. (It has the same architecture as the Matrix 12, only with six voices instead of 12.) Most people consider this voice architecture to be the most flexible non-modular analog synth ever designed. Each voice has five LFOs, each with about five different wave shapes, plus the ability to sample most other modulators; five envelopes that can repeat themselves, sync to an LFO, and so on; a lag processor (like portamento, but more general); three tracking generators (that apply a series of linear functions to a value over its range); some ramp generators (the attack portion of an envelope); a 15-mode filter and a user interface to make all of this accessible. That all might sound complicated, but in the end, it's still just subtractive synthesis. If you can program a Juno or Jupiter, you can program an Xpander; things just have the potential to go MUCH deeper.

The Xpander also has a useful CV/gate to MIDI conversion feature for communication with older synths. There are six CV and Gate inputs which use standard 1V/8va CV and positive gating. So you can connect up to 6 external sources delivering CV/Gate and convert that into MIDI. The Xpander's output options are also very flexible, with stereo and mono outputs as well as six additional individual audio outputs (1 for each voice). You can load a different patch on each voice, too, allowing you to use the Xpander as a stereo polyphonic 6-voice synth, as six individual monosynths, or any combination in between. Since you can stack six different patches, you can create some very thick, and very complex unison type sounds.

This particular model is fully functional and in excellent condition. It's spent the last 15 years in a smoke-free home as part of a vintage synth collection. It has not been gigged with and has only seen very light use over those years. The original manual, and a power cord, are also included. Also, for those of you who might be interested, this is a US built Xpander, and not a Japanese built one."

"This cool vintage effect, in my opinion, seems to resemble an envelope filter, but it‘s an interesting effect, capable of wide tone swings, and at the extremes, dramatically thinning out your sound so your guitar sounds like it‘s coming through a small transistor radio. The unit is in nice overall condition. When I first plugged it in, it powered up, but I didn’t seem to hear any effect, but after messing with the switches, the effect “popped in” and started working, and then kept working for the next twenty minutes as I put the unit through its paces, so it looks to be in good working shape, although it looks to perhaps need a good internal cleaning with a good contact cleaner like Caig’s DeOxit. Cosmetically, the unit makes a nice impression, although it does look like perhaps the front panel is a bit pushed in, although this hasn’t effected the controls or functionality. The unit runs on standard 110AC power."

MIDI Designer 1.3.7, New Features


YouTube Published on Jul 19, 2012 by MIDIDesigner

"MIDI Designer 1.3.7 adds several new and interesting features. Virtual MIDI is shown here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AphJI5-Dl-Q&feature=plcp). In the current video I go over:
1) Slide to Reverse
2) Snap to Default (on release)
3) Send on Release Only
4) Snap to Value

Snap to default and snap to value have two settings -- constant speed or constant time -- and have a variable speed from 25ms to 16 seconds, so you can get a lot more variation than you see in this video.

1.3.7 is expected to be released on or before July 22, 2012. Thanks for checking out MIDI Designer!"

MV-8000 fixed1t CD to DVD Upgrade


YouTube Published on Jul 19, 2012 by FIXED1T

"I've fixed up the eBay MV-8000 and discovered from MV-NATION that the CD Drive that came with the MV-8000 can be replaced by a DVD-Drive and it works great. The whole job took around 15 - 20 mins and cost a mere £8.

This video is how I removed the old drive and replaced it with the new one.

This is a really simple upgrade, but as with all repairs there is a Danger Of Death to you and the machine if you open it up and start messing around inside. I'm fine doing this as my mother told me 'grow up stupid' so i did.

So I don't recommend you do it ! and I take no responsibility for showing you how it can be done.

As it is, I'm really pleased with the result, cheap simple cheerful and satisfying for me.

The unit also had function key death on keys f4 and f5 and i've posted another video on a really simple and cheap fix of those buttons and a complete midi in replacement fix.

The Ambient Music " Darwin " is by me FIXED1T and there is a great little video here on youtube of the Galapagos to accompany the music. Please listen on a good system with bass, especially if your feeling a bit constipated, as the subsonic's can move a tank out of mud.

Please leave comments if you like it.

This is a 'pass it on' goodwill video, if the video was useful then pass some goodwill on to somebody else by way of payment.

Cheers fixed1t"

videos at the auction and below.
"Modified WJ-Ave3 video effects processor. w/ Control box, a hand crafted manual & patch cables.

Note: Although I am associated with Folktek this work is unaffiliated with Folktek.

This is the ultimate live glitch visual production tool. Every professional VJ should have one of these in their arsenal. It has an amazing way of fragmenting, fractalizing and freaking whatever video you process through it. It works with composite video only (RCA).

This WJ has TWO modes of operation:

SOUND VISUALIZATION MODE:

By plugging a well-amplified audio signal in to the modified AVE-3 you can profoundly glitch the visuals in a variety of unique ways.. all in real-time. Just take a look at the videos below. This mode is good for veejays, performance artists or art installations.

VIDEO SYNTH MODE:

Without sound you can use the control box to hone in on a variety of glitch effects and looks, some not possible in sound visualization mode. This mode is good for post production, experimental film & masking/overlays.

Of course both modes can be combined. In fact it is encouraged.

All original functions of this mixer work cleanly. And the control box for this one has 2 patchable pots and two patchable push buttons.

The original physical condition of this unit is a 8/10. Very clean.

This device is perfect for:
Adding a unique look to your indie tv/film/event production.
Providing you with a variety of effects you can't get with After Effects.
Live professional VJ work .
Making dubstep or chillwave music videos (ha!).
Lo-fi enthusiasts.
Inducing epilepsy.

This device was made to last. Although a device of this nature is fragile by design I have gone through great lengths to ensure that this device stands the test of time. It has been tightly assembled, designed with thought and built with solid parts.

Note: You really have to crank incoming audio to see visualizations. Just the nature of the beast. You will need a mixer with a good heaphones out or aux out to drive this beast.

Note: Unlike most circuit bent video devices this device does NOT need a TBC unit in order to prevent projector drop-out.

Feel free to e-mail any questions you may have in regards to this device. Shipping is free.
