TRAX RetroWave R-1 MIDI-Controlled Analogue Synthesizer

"The TRAX RetroWave desktop monosynth was designed for musicians who want the immediacy and warmth of classic analogue sound, created by a real analogue instrument, as opposed to a digital system or computer emulation. This compact unit is great for use in studios, with your home computer, in live performances, and for creating sound effects for film, TV and theatre.

Features

True analogue oscillators, filter, sample and hold, noise generator, VCA and signal path
Easily recreate classic analogue synth sounds using knobs and switches
Built-in MIDI to CV, 5V gate and velocity converter, 1V/octave CV response
Inputs and outputs via robust 1/4" jack sockets
Built-in overdrive circuit for grungy distortion effects
No menus, no software, just switch on and play
Unique retro styling

Patching

The comprehensive "pot and switch" patching system allows you to set up sounds without recourse to endless menu screens. This way, you create electronic music the way Carlos, Tomita, Jarre, Perrey and all the other pioneers did in the early days of sound synthesis.

Extra patches can be easily achieved if needed, using the supplied short patch leads.

Connect any keyboard or sequencer with a 5-pin DIN MIDI out socket to the R-1's MIDI input socket, and you have an complete analogue synthesizer system for live gigs and recording. Add a USB to MIDI lead for computer control, and the possibilities are endless - live performance play-along with recorded music, complex and rapid sequences, etc.

The Internal Modules

1 x Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO), true analogue, with 1 volt/octave response. Features square, ramp, triangle and sine outputs. The square wave may be pulse-width modulated by other internal modules (low frequency oscillator 2, ADSR sweep), or the wave shape can be altered by hand or an external source, for dynamic searing leads and amazingly fat bass lines.

Frequency modulation comes from 2 x LFO's, sample and hold, ADSR sweep or external source, either separately or all together. An octave selector switch and master tune control give you flexibility when playing along with other instruments, and can be used to give pitch shifting effects while playing.

1 x MIDI/CV and Gate Converter. 12 channels to choose from, instantly selectable via an easy-to-use rotary switch. CV, gate (+5V), and velocity output jacks are provided, so that the R-1 can drive other analogue equipment. Glide control for "Rick Wakeman" style blurring of one note into the next.

1 x 24dB/octave, Four-pole Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF), low-pass, with 1 volt/octave response. Create all those classic dynamic filter sounds, including auto-wah, ADSR sweeps and keyboard CV tracking. Cut-off frequency can be modulated by LFO 2, ADSR, sample & hold, MIDI velocity, or external signal, together or separately.

The filter can also be put into oscillation mode to track the MIDI CV output, effectively acting as a second VCO. Comprehensive signal input mixing combines VCO, sub-octave 1, sub-octave 2, noise and external input to give a composite filter signal.

2 x Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFO), with triangle and square outputs. Wave shape controls to give ramp, sawtooth, and pulse variations - great for sirens, sci-fi sounds, trills and vibrato effects. Low (sub-audio) and high speed (audio) range switches give effects that vary from a subtle vibrato, through to a dirty hyper-modulation that will send the cat running for cover!

Each LFO has a clear, high-brightness yellow LED monitor, so you can see at a glance the running speed and approximate shape of the output waveform.

2 x Sub-Octave Generators, each with a square wave output. One octave below, and two octaves below VCO frequency. Fatten up the VCO output to give deep bass and organ-like sounds, with full level control of each sub-octave.

1 x Sample and Hold Circuit. Supplies random voltages, for programming the VCO and VCF. The random note effect is just the thing for creating a "psychotic" lead line, and the random VCF modulation will add some sparkle to any performance.

OCTAVE CATSTICK synth controller

"ULTRA-RARE and fully working Octave-Plateau CATSTICK synth controller in amazing condition !
The original ad described it simply as :
"The better alternative to wheels, ribbons, pressure pads, knobs, sliders and pedals for any patchable synthesizer"
Built by OCTAVE-PLATEAU Electronics Inc. in New York City.
The unit runs on 110 volts and comes with an adaptor to make it work with European 220 voltage.
PATCHING
WHAT IS IT ?
The CATSTICK is a very powerful precision, spring-loaded joystick controller that lets one hand control four different modulation settings - 1 for each of the 4 joystick directions. By moving the stick off axis, combination modulations of different proportions are possible. When the stick is released, it springs back to its vertical, zero modulation position.

HOW DO YOU USE IT ?
For portable synthesizers, like the CAT, ODYSSEY or MINIMOOG - to quote a few - you can connect the CATSTICK outputs to the VCO, VCF or VCA inputs normally intended for footpedal controls. This lets you use the CATSTICK LFOs and control voltages to modulate the synthesizer as the joystick is moved. In patchable systems like the ARP 2600 or Modular MOOG, you can connect the CATSTICK VCAs in series with patchcords to allow real-time control of synthesizer patches.

WHO CAN USE IT ?
If you own a MINIMOOG, CAT, KITTEN, ODYSSEY, 2600, OBERHEIM, ROLAND, MODULAR SYSTEM or any other synthesizer with control voltage inputs, the CATSTICK is for YOU !

VERSATILITY
Included are 4 VCAs (each externally accessible), 2 wide-range LFOs with rate LED monitors, and a complete internal voltage processing system. The 20-jacks rear panel patch bay allows access to all of the internal control voltage signals and makes the CATSTICK a versatile addition for both performance-oriented and studio synthesis systems.

Not only the CATSTICK is a very powerful hands-on performance controller but it also is a very, VERY rare collector's item. You almost never see them for sale. So this is your chance to get hold of an exceptional piece of gear..."

"1981 KORG Polysix PS-6 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer w/hard case. Works perfect! One of those amazing pieces that looks like it came out of a time machine. All keys, buttons, LED's etc. function perfectly..."

Note the original batteries on the Polysix leak over time and do damage. If you ever pick one up, be sure to check it and replace it if it is the original. If you do have a damaged Polysix due to battery leak, check out Old Crow for a fix.
