Bastl Instruments Trinity x4

via this auction

"Bastl Instruments Trinity, included is SQNCR, DRUM, POLY & MONO FM modules and an unbuilt MIDIbastl mondule.

Trinity is universal musical instrument and original sounding modular groovebox. It can function as any type of digital synthesizer, sequencer, controller, arpeggiator or almost anything that can be programmed into a micro-controller. Trinity is designed to be connected and combined with other Trinities of different functions in a chain, so you can create your own music making environment. It is ready to communicate with the outer world via MIDI and different sync and CV methods using MIDI Bastl. We are musicians passionate of exploring new fields of sonic experience – we already developed 4 different instruments for Trinity which work great together. They are sequencer, drum synthesizer, polyphonic synthesizer and monophonic FM synthesizer.…and there is many more to come!

MIDI clock support, master or slave (by receiving MIDI clock message it turns into slave mode)
MIDI by side connectors – MIDI connector by connecting MIDI Bastl by the side

MIDI Bastl module (Unassembled)
jumpers to select functionality and routing of the MIDI connector (with chain connectors and sync dev. area)
MIDI I/O
Attiny 85 based development area for almost endless sync possibilities (firmware for attiny still in development)

converts MIDI clock to din sync 24 /48
Standalone use: MIDI Bastl has no power jack and is powered via the side connectors from an instrument. For standalone use you need to make power jack adaptor. On the circuit board there are clearly marked spots to which you can solder cable to the power jack."

Medic EKG (Elektro Kardio Gramm) Eurorack Sequencer Module

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

via this auction

"The EKG (Elektro Kardio Gramm) is a versatile 8-step analogue sequencer designed to fit the euro rack . Each step has a unique Function Control and can be turned off, skipped, repeated or set as a reset point.

Modes: Off (rest), x1, x2, x3, x4, Skip, Reverse and Rest.

CLOCK IN: This is the clock input. Use a 5V clock signal, or a signal from an LFO
TEMPO 1/2 IN: When this socket sees 5V, the sequencer will run at half speed.
RESET IN: When this socket sees a 5V signal, the sequencer will reset to Step 1.
CV OUT & RANGE: Connect the CV out to your modular synth’s VCO to control Pitch, or to Cut-Off on your Filter
GATE OUT: Connect this to the EG Trigger input on your synth. Output is 5V."

Buchla Music Easel Minus the Audio for iPad

iTunes: Buchla Easel Remote Control - Donnerblech

"This iPad app enables owners of the new generation Buchla Easel musical instrument to remote control the device via W-Lan or MIDI. Complex patches (performances) can be created and stored within the app. A selected subset of up to 24 performances can be transferred to the physical Easel for direct accessibility."

Definitely worth checking out even if you don't own an Easel.

"This is the 1st time we connected neurons to a nonlinearcircuits voice synth. The neurons are grown on an array of 60 electrodes. In this test we just used 1 electrode and amplified the signal to get a 5V neuronal noise signal and extracted the action potential using a comparator to get triggers."

cellF 2 - Using Organic, Biological Neurons to Control a Modular

Published on Aug 6, 2014 cirtcele

"We hooked some living neurons up to a nonlinearcircuits modular. the neuronal noise was amplified & fed thru filters, also used to CV a VCO. The action potentials (triggers) were used to drive the sequencers. We used a pulse divider to provide a feedback signal to the neurons and they seemed to appreciate this a lot :) Thanks to Nathan for the footage."

I think I can sync : KORG DSN-12 sync test with Volca and MS-20 mini

Published on Jul 23, 2014 karenevil

"Improvisation with KORG DSN-12, MS-20mini and Volcas.
Sync signal for volca was programmed in a track on DSN-12 as a sequence, I used left channel for this sync signal only and right channel is used for the synth sound, then signal of left channel is sent to ESP input of MS-20mini to make trigger signal and this trigger signal is used for volca's sync signal ( please see the diagram at the beginning of this video )"
