Buchla 259e Complex Waveform Generator (w/Twisted Firmware)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is the original 259e "Complex" oscillator loaded with firmware version 3.x of the "Twisted" 259e. This was my very first Buchla module purchased second hand a few years ago. I received it with the "Twisted" 259e's firmware loaded and it functions and sounds pretty much identical to the current Twisted 259e (which retails for $1600). However, the module arrive from it's prior owner with a few minor quirks. The quirks are:
Switching the module to "remote" mode sometimes takes a little patience. Usually it's necessary to hold the "remote" button down for 2 or 3 seconds to get it to work. Often that step needs to be repeated a few times before it finally activates, but has ALWAYS eventually worked. For me that's only been a tiny annoyance since I seldom use the preset manager. This is very likely a button problem that can probably be fixed by Buchla Electronic Music Instruments.
Turning the Morph attenuator clockwise seems to introduce a negative offset to the Morph value. Doesn't seem to have a major impact on usage as manually re-adjusting the Morph value will get things back on track. I'm assuming this can also be repaired by BEMI. There *might* even be some way to self-recalibrate the module that will resolve the issue (but I don't know for sure)
I haven't measured it, but the output level "seems" about 6db - 8db quieter than my other "e" modules. Again, this may be able to be repaired, but I can't say for certain.
These are the only issues I'm aware of. Other than that it sounds absolutely fantastic! Extremely versatile chameleon of sound! This is THE module that single-handedly pulled me into the world of Buchla. :)"

"Up for auction here is one super rare SidStation Ninja Edition, in great condition. It is currently loaded with the "original" Ninja soundbank, that is to say, I've wiped all my patches and put the factory Ninja patches back on it.
If you're here, you probably know all about the SidStation. Here are the features that differentiate the Ninja edition:
Black enclosure
Blue LEDs
Ninja soundbank
Only 50 made, which makes it the rarest production edition
As you may know / expect, THESE HARDLY EVER COME UP FOR SALE! I've only seen one other on ebay in the last few years.
This will come packaged in its original box, with stickers(!!!) [+posters] and a universal PSU. I'll include the manual if I can locate it, but worry not, it is of course available online from Elektron..."

New microTERA Waveshaping Synthesis for iPad
"Waveshaping Synthesis is a type of distortion synthesis that can create dynamic spectra in a controlled way. In waveshaping, it is possible to change the spectrum with the amplitude of the sound. A simple example of this method is the clipping caused by overdriving an audio amplifier.
These simple method creates an astonishing variety of sounds which are very unique and can't be reproduced by any other contemporary synth!microTERA gives you also a method of getting randomly generated sound patches in a way you never experienced before: roll the dice! Every single try gives you a new unique sound patch, really every try, promised…

rrarrow - demo video 1 : basic features
Published on Feb 20, 2014
iTunes: rrarrow - Alexey Nadzharov
"rrarrow rrarrow is the experimental modular audio effect and noise machine for the iPad featuring extended feedback capabilities."
rrarrow demo video 2 - special features
"Key features:
- Simplicity. The interface is simplified for faster assembly and more flexible connectivity — you can assemble your effect very fast and control all the processing parameters with the audio signal!
- Feedback capabilities. You can add feedbacks to the audio chain to get some chaotic noise sounds .
- Twelve blocks for audio processing:
- Sine generator. Basic oscillator with sine waveform
- Signal multiplier
- Delay
- Frequency shifter
- Envelope follower
- “Lorenz attractor”
- Quantizer
- Sample-and-hold
- Reverb
- Special Lowpass filter
- Clipper
- Nonlinear shaper (for self-oscillating circuit)
- Audiobus support. Now you can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! See http://audiob.us for more information. Works as input and filter.
- Background audio support: enabled when connected to Audiobus and user switchable otherwise.
iPad2 or newer is recommended for complex presets"

Groovesizer RED - 3 REDs Synced
Published on Feb 24, 2014 MoShang·61 videos
"Kits and built units are available from http://groovesizer.com
In this video three Groovesizer REDs are synced via MIDI clock sent from the first unit. Launching a pattern on the first unit sends a MIDI trigger to the units further along the chain to launch the same pattern. The MID channel for sending trigger messages is 10 by default, but it can be changed on the preferences page."
