via this auction

"Formanta UDS is powerfull 7 channel analog drum synthesizer, produced by the same FORMANTA factory in Kachkanar city where mades famous Polivoks synths in eighties. It has 5 identical channels (which can be used freely) for BASS DRUM, HIGH TOM, MIDDLE TOM, LOW TOM, SNARE and two channels for Hi-hats and Cymbals. The synth has also built-in beatbox with 16 patterns. The beatbox and the synthesizer are independent modules so they can work at the same time freely and you can tweak the generators of the beatbox patterns. Full freedom. Each channel has trigger Input on a standart 1/4 mono Jack and two additional Inputs for pedals. It can be triggered from drum pads like Simmons or any audio source - Line Outs of the drum machine or soundcard etc. The synth has two parallel mono Outs (1/4 Jack and 5Din) and two parallel stereo Outs (left-right on 1/4 Jacks and 5Din). It also has 5Din socket for Rhythm-Stick hand controller. This is an armored antitank piece of gear and the sound it produces is very unique!.."

Dewtron Mister Bassman : Rare 1970's Bass Synth

via this auction

"This auction is for a Dewtron Mister Bassman as used by Mike Rutherford in Genesis. I've had this beast for donkeys years and used to use it in solo shows. I've tested it today by changing the 2 x 9volt batteries and all but one of the notes is working. The note not working is the low C sharp. I am not very techy so I haven't fiddled or unscrewed it so there is good chance it can be got going as I suspect it is just the spring mechanism that has ceased and not the synth pot that has broken. Testing this on a bass amp I was reminded of the crazy sounds this beast can make. The octave button really takes the sound down and the tuner function can be used to create great effects by using the sustain function..." Pic of the inside below.

LH Rubbing for iPad

Currently free: LH Rubbing - LIU HAO

http://apps4idevices.com/read/lh-rubbing
"We can say that there is not a lot of new releases on App Store at this moment... So, I decided to find the Incredible forgotten App even if I had to not slept for 3 nights... And I found it! A Synthesizer for Free: 2 Envelopes, 3 Oscillators, 1 Amp ADSR, 1 Filter and one ADSR... There is also big Pad, which allows you to control all the parameters, and Automation... 28 great presets, and 28 blank slots for the user... Its sound is just great, the App very very well done... A Killer Apps for Free! So, let's all say a big thanks to the developer... You can thank me too for having found it for you! And, in secret, I will say great Big thanks to David who sent me the link for this App, this morning..."


iTunes Description:
"LH Rubbing is a polyphony software synthesizer app for iPad running on iOS 6.0 or latter.

There are three wave oscillators, one noise oscillator, two LFOs and one three type embedded filter (low-pass, hi-pass and bandpass).

Each wave oscillator can generate three kinds of waveform which are triangle, square and saw wave.

LFO can be attached to different modul for different modulation or control such as OSC Pitch, PW, Filter Cutoff Frequency, Filter Resonance and OSC Output Mixing.

The frequency and amplitude of the 1st LFO can be modified by the 2nd LFO.

Pitch, Filter Cutoff Frequency and Resonance can be controlled by the ADSR envelope generator.

The Keyboard Rubbing brings up vibrato while control the vibrato rate and depth."

New LepLoop Lumanoise 808 Cymbal Drone Generator

http://www.chrisandcosey.com

via Leploop where you'll find additional details. The following are the three versions of the Lumanoise (Update: you can catch a video of the Lumanoise in this previous post):

"Lumanoise V1

The lumanise V1 have one square osc, one 12bit sawtooth osc.
The oscillators pitch is controlled by a photo resistor, each oscillator have a volume pot.
A 12 db low pass resonant filter, specially developed by LEP for the project lumanoise, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

Lumanoise V2

The lumanoise V2 heve one square osc, one 12bit sawtooth osc. and 2 trautonium like sub oscillator.
We were inspired by the great Oskar Sala Trautonium synth oscillator.
We use one master oscillator under LDR control and 2 sub oscillator, where you can set the frequency.
The oscillators pitch is controlled by a photo resistor, each oscillator have a volume pot.
A 12 db low pass resonant filter, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

808 cymbal drone generator

The 808 cymbal drone generator use 6 fixed frequency square wave oscillators.
The oscillator frequency came from the cluster oscillator circuit used in the TR808 drum machine for creating cymbal sound, in fact these are the harmonic frequencies of the sounds of metal plate.
Each oscillators have a volume pot. and the 12 db low pass resonant filter, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

The Lumanoise box are made of plywood 3mm laser cut, different textures will be available soon."

OWL Programmable Effects Pedal on Kickstarter

"The OWL is an open source, open hardware, reprogrammable effects pedal designed for musicians, coders, and hackers.

With some coding and DSP knowledge, the OWL can become any kind of audio effect that you can imagine. Effects can be combined in any number of ways by chaining or switching between them.

Using a provided C++ framework, effects can be developed, compiled and loaded to the on-board ARM Cortex M4 chip with no proprietary tools or hardware-specific knowledge.

The OWL gives coders the chance to implement their own effects and become part of an open-source audio developer community. For those who don’t write code there is a growing http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marser/owl-programmable-effects-pedalcollection of patches available for immediate download and use in the patch library.

With a strong emphasis on open-source hardware and software, the OWL is perfect starting point for anyone wanting to experiment with embedded audio, or for those wanting to to learn more about audio programming and Digital Signal Processing in general.

For musicians:

Load patches from your computer via USB
Collection of sample patches available and growing
Standard guitar pedal inputs/outputs
For developers:

Write code for a hardware DSP architecture in plain C/C++
no hardware specific coding required
Open source platform and tool chain
Access to all low level ARM functions..."

Powertran MCS-1 Overview 2012

Uploaded on Jan 26, 2012 reqordist·13 videos

Audio on left channel only.

"A rather rambling overview of the MIDI Controlled Sampler MCS-1.

I built this unit in the late '80s from the Powertran kit, which I had bought second-hand as-new from someone who lacked the confidence or patience to assemble it himself. The exercise took me 3 evenings, if I recall: no components were missing; the instructions were straightforward, and the silk-screen print on the PCB was comprehensive. It worked right from first power-up, and is still functional. Congratulations to the designers and Powertran.

A fine example of of 8-bit sampling from the early days of digital electronic music.

I may be disposing of this museum piece in the near future."
