"I highly recommend adding the Moon Modular 591 manual switch (or similar and/or DIY switch) to your system, especially when using the 554 Octal Clock Divider!
Notes:
1) The 591 I have I purchased secondhand recently for less than half price of a new one, since it had been damaged and only partially repaired, so switch #3 doesn't work correctly and switch #2 is a little intermittent.
2) The video didn't compile correctly so the last 30 seconds were cut off, sorry about that! It was my second attempt and didn't want to try again since it ties up my computer for hours each time! :-/ Something is wrong with either Sony Movie Studio 12, certain plugins, Windows 8, other running applications, the PC hardware and/or a combination of everything. :-("

SSF Mixmode Saturation Demo 1.0
Published on Sep 25, 2013 SteadyStateFate·21 videos
"Demonstrating some of the saturation and distortion capabilities of the Steady State Fate Mixmode. Find out more at www.steadystatefate.com
This video exhibits Mixmode's unique saturation effect on a triangle wave and an AC coupled rectified sine wave.
First up is the triangle wave. The positive and negative clipping levels are adjusted independently to randomly demonstrate the various overtones possible as harmonic content is increased/decreased.
voltage control over the saturation controls is then demonstrated.
Part 2 features the AC coupled rectified sine wave. CV is applied and the effect of audio rate modulation of the saturation levels is demonstrated.
Enjoy!"

Free iPad Editor Control Surface for Sonic Potions LXR Digital Drum Machine
This one in via effegee:
"I created a voice editor/control surface to use with Sonic Potions excellent new DIY kit drum machine, the LXR. The drum machine itself has only four potentiometers and one encoder. With this MIDI Designer layout, all drum voice parameters are accessible on one page. There is also a mixer with which volume levels, panning, output routing, etc., may be adjusted for all six voices-- on one page. It makes voice editing and mixing much more convenient.
Read about it here.

New Syntaur CVP-100 Control Voltage Pedal
"Similar to the classic Moog Model 1120 pedal, the Syntaur CVP-100 pedal is a control-voltage (CV) source for use with analog synthesizers. It generates a voltage, the level of which is controlled by the pedal, and by plugging the 1/4-inch phone plug into a CV input of a synthesizer, you can control filter sweeps, volume, pitch, etc. This sturdy pedal is a great expressive tool for use with your vintage synths!
Requires 9-volt battery (not included) or optional power adapter."
Although Syntaur has been featured on the site numerous times in the past for synth parts, I believe this is the first Syntaur branded product post. I created a new label for them starting with this post.
YAMAHA CS60 ANALOG POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This listing is for a YAMAHA CS60 8voice analog polyphonic synthesizer in excellent cosmetic and working condition. The CS60 is built into its own case and comes with its original lid. The enamel surface of the front panel is in excellent shape but with approximately half a dozen small (pinhead size) flakes missing. There are several minor scuffs on the Tolex of the lid, but the surface is unbroken and intact. The original legs and vinyl carrying bag (both in excellent condition) are included. The Instruction manual, service manual, foot switch pedal and foot controller(expression pedal) are all included. This is a complete Yamaha CS60 with ALL the accessories!
The Yamaha CS60 8 voice analog poly synth is the smaller version of the all-time classic CS80. And even though it is somewhat "scaled down" compared to its legendary big brother, the CS60 is nevertheless one of the most expressive and intuitive synths ever made. It's basically one channel of the 2 channel CS80, and it still includes most of the key signature features that place Yamaha's polyphonic CS-series in a class of its own. "CS" stands for"control synthesizer" - and the real-time control on offer here is indeed nothing short of stunning: the aftertouch/pressure sensitivity of the keyboard is unrivaled even today and controls either VCO (LFO amount - vibrato), VCF (LFO amount - wah wah), VCF(filter frequency) or VCA (loudness), or all of the above at the same time!
Then there's Yamaha's famous PWM (pulse width modulation) and the fantastic ring modulator with the possibility of fading the dry and effect signal in and out, as well as processing external signals via the external input, two excellent filters, HPF and LPF in serial,both with their own resonance, a great sounding LFO with various waveforms (again including "external signal"), a brilliant portamento and glissando feature, a dual-concentric pitch bend and a massive ribbon controller for extreme pitch bending a la Vangelis' "Bladerunner" and, and, and...
Sonically, too, the CS60 covers a very similar territory, with many sounds nigh-on identical to its larger cousin, while being a lot more reliable and easier to service. Last but not least, with CS80prices going through the roof, the CS60 can still be had for a fraction of the price. 8 discreet voices of vintage analog technology and all the real time control you could ask for - the YAMAHA CS60 is a very desirable and highly inspirational musical instrument with tons of character.
All keys, knobs, sliders and buttons work perfectly, move smoothly and do exactly what they're supposed to do. The same goes for the keyboard aftertouch/pressure sensitivity and all other functions. TheCS60 is perfectly in tune and remains very stable. The ribbon controller is practically pristine: no signs of wear or tear, the felt is still raised and it tracks perfectly along the entire range.
The CS60 is large and heavy, it weighs over 100 pounds, I estimate shipping to be approximately $300-$350 to anywhere in the 48 continental United States..."
