"Rare UK version of the Siel Opera 6 in fantastic condition. Very few signs of wear. Would prefer to have this picked up in London but am willing to ship international securely. Note the costly shipping rate on this fragile item. Fantastic sounding little beast, great for all you italo disco wannabes (I am one too). Priced to move..."

ladik Waveform Animator Eurorack Module

Published on May 1, 2013 RuprechtM·50 videos
"Waveform Animator - 8x LFO + 8x phase shifter in Eurorack (Doepfer) format.
From one simple input waveform makes 8 "phase shifted" waves.
Sounds like 8 oscillators from one VCO only.
It is not working with square waveforms."
via this auction
"Animator module for eurorack / Doepfer A100 - ladik L-010.
Creates "fat moving sound" from simple tri / saw / sine waveform. Not usable for rectangular shapes.
Think about it as VCO extension - exact tone tuning ensures your VCO and Animator creates 8 phase-shifted and endlessly moving waveshapes summed to Animator´s output.
Sounds like 9 slightly detuned VCOs together, sounds simply FAT (8 shifted waves + 1 original from input).
Contains 8 phase shifters drived by 8 LFOs at 8 different frequencies (34 opamps total).
Try mix two waveforms in different octaves to Animator´s input (sine and triangle for example) - at Animator´s output you´ll get sound like from some kind of ring modulator but softer/milder and moving.
Parallel input (2) and output (2) jacks.
Quality connectors made in England (no cheapo China), durable engraved panel.
Built by me the best way I know. Handy 20cm (8") power cable included.
Width: 8TE/ 8HP/ 40,3mm.
Depth: 70mm /2,8" max.
Current: 90mA max.
Remarks (answers to your questions)
Settings:
There is no need for setting, internal LFO frequencies are spread between 1Hz to 0,01Hz and its frequencies are set in prime numbers ratio to minimize beating. This works well in full VCO audio range from low to high and exact LFO sequence repeats in very long times (in hours).
Stereo:
Infernal spatial sound will be heard if you´ll use two Animators for stereo (parallel inputs from one VCO, outs to left and right channel).
But for following sound processing you´ll need everything twice, i.e. for left and right channel independently (two VCFs, VCAs and so on).
If you have any idea for an custom module let me know. I´m preparing some further modules so stay tuned :)"

Macbeth Studio Systems Dual SV Filter Eurorack Module
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Dual SV Filter is a double 12dB/octave state-variable multimode filter which can be used as one or two mono filters or as a stereo filter. The audio input as well as the CV inputs of the left filter are normalized to the according inputs of the right filter which is super practical in stereo use as you omit multiples and a number of patch cords.
Each filter has a switch for inverting the CV - also very interesting when used with one common CV for both filters as you get opposite modulations.
~30 mm Deep"

"BIG FAT POLYSYNTH in virtually factory fresh condition.
After looking at several JP6s I bought this from Tonetweakers in the US five years ago, they said it was by far the nicest Jupiter 6 they had ever seen.
COSMETICS - Mint, really almost as it left the factory in 1983. There is a teeny tiny hairline scratch top left of the control panel running through the a of the Roland logo, anything else you see in the pictures is just dust or fingerprints! It really belongs in a museum, except then it would never get used, which would be a tragedy.
All knobs and buttons and LEDs are present/working and none have faded or gone yellow with age. The keyboard is springy, even and white. Even the performance section, which usually takes a bashing is unmarked, as is the back. It must have spent most of its life in a box to have survived so well, it's certainly never been gigged or left open to the air and sunlight in a smoky studio.
FUNCTION - Everything works perfectly, big fat analogue badness. In Unison mode it sounds like an OBX-a and even in standard poly it sounds amazing. It's capable of an enormous range of sounds from huge pads and crisp strings to quirky Moog-y filter bloops.
This example has the desirable EUROPA upgrade from SynthCom in V2.0 guise which not only upgrades the MIDI to embrace modern features but also upgrades the arpeggiator to include various modes including random (as in the JP4 on Rio). It also adds patch saving/loading via MIDI (making the dreaded tape dump obsolete), factory patch setting restoration and even a small sequencer - read more on their site - http://www.synthcom.com/Europa/europaFaq.html
Basically the Europa means you can really use this board as part of a modern studio setup and best of all it adds PATCH LAYERING! You can now layer the upper keyboard patch on top of the lower patch and control it with the BALANCE knob. This adds a wealth of sounds the standard JP6 can't get close to and really bites at the ankles of the Jupiter 8!!
Andy Collins (Gary Numan's synth man in Sussex) replaced a capacitor on the two-voice board for me last year, since when it's sounded and performed impeccably.
It comes with a dust cover, a Jupiter 6 manual (not original), a Europa manual and a power lead. It's switched to accept UK voltage but can be switched to US..."
