New Audio Damage Sequencer 1 - Eurorack Format

Saw this one at the TRASH_AUDIO / Muff event yesterday. I have some pics that will go up later today. It was the one module that seriously caught my eye at the event.

Details / repost via Analog Industries:

"We unveiled this module this morning at the Muff Wiggler / Trash_Audio synth meet in Portland, and here's some info on Sequencer 1.

The astute among you will notice a passing similarity to the Elektron Analog Four, and if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we're flattering the fuck out of those guys with this little bitch. Here's some vital statistics:

• 36HP, 20mm depth.

• 4 banks of 16 patterns, each pattern can be from 1 to 64 steps long. The entire state (all banks and patterns) can be saved to SD card as a preset, so the memory is essentially unlimited.

• Clock input can be per step (like any other sequencer's clock), or 24ppq or 48ppq for DIN sync (via a simple 5-pin DIN -> 3.5mm adaptor). Clock output can be a staggering number of choices, which is handy if the unit is acting as the master clock. The Run input can be operated a couple different ways, as can the output. In short, it can interface to pretty much anything clockish, and can in turn drive pretty much anything in a clocklike fashion.

• Each step gets a 1v/Oct output, three CV outputs (that can each be either 0-10v, -5 to +5v, or 0 to +5v), a main gate output, and an auxiliary gate output. Gate length is programmable per step.

• The playback modes are forward, reverse, pingpong, pingpong with double end triggers, skip forward, walk, and random. This is programmable per pattern.

• There are several ratcheting features; you can program a ratchet of various lengths per step, or you'll note the 6 buttons labeled "REP." These will repeat, in order, the last 8, 4, 2, or 1 steps as a loop, or cause the step you hit them on to repeat in half or quarter time. (In the same manner that the MIDI triggers in Replicant work, basically, if you own that plugin.)

• As I hinted before, SD card for storage and OS updates.

There are many other deep features that I'm not able to talk about at this point. Our goal is to make the single most sophisticated sequencer available for Euro, and I think we've accomplished this already, let alone what we're adding as we go along. We haven't finalized pricing yet, or availability. We're hoping for US$599.00, and about two months. But both those numbers are subject to change."

Bleep Labs Pico Paso + Bit Blob Jr. = Pasbit Blopic

Published on May 25, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE·128 videos

"Bleep Labs Pico Paso kit and Bit Blob Junior kit housed in an old external cd rom drive case, custom.

Dual flashing LED kit from Quality Kits.

This project took almost a month with different stages of building the kits and planning the final look within the case. I cannot believe that it all fits inside there, it took me almost an entire week of re-working wires and connections to reduce it down to fit.

I know, way too much time and effort for a 25 dollar and 60 dollar kit, right? I enjoy the benefit of the enhanced look but most of all the ergonomics and useability of the kits for a performance setting. It's mine though, you'll never see another one like it and I don't intend on selling it.

The main outputs for the Pico Paso and the BB Jr. are coming out the right side of the case where the huge connector cable used to reside. This is in the top right of the video and you can see the two cables there. The PP is a mono 1/4 inch and the BB is a mono 1/8 inch. The outputs are located to the right, underneath the Marine Corp. coin which was added for grip when inserting cables and to match the military grade connectors.

The PP has additional outputs for the square waves from each oscillator, I have added jacks for these. The main outs are triangle waves. I have also taken advantage of the additional LED outputs on the BB versus a stock build. Custom bases for the light sensors for the BB, custom keyboard mouse tops for the BB buttons, painted PP hardware, identification markings on the military connectors for patching. Custom LED stalks with knurled brass and chrome surrounds.

I am patching the Pico Paso through a Synthrotek Echo module as well as a little raw for a spell. The Bit Blob Jr. has no effects on it and is raw to the mixer."

MAM ADX1 Analog Drum Percussion Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

via the seller: "Very rare, Music and More analog drum synthesizer. Very unique drum and percussion tones can be created here with all of those sound shaping parameter knobs.

It can make sounds similar to the Vermona DRM1 and 80's electronic drum modules (Simmons & Tama), however, it has it own very unique sound creating palette and character, which I will definitely miss.

Sounds are triggered by MIDI and there are separate outputs for each channel.

This unit is in nice used functional condition. See pics for the cosmetic details. The top left corner got dinged resulting in some paint chipping, I placed a little black electrical tape over it, which looks nicer."
