Scentury Cedar Custom Luthier Wood Eurorack Cases

This one in via Ryan Gaston: "I'm contacting you today because I wanted to make you aware of a new Eurorack case luthier--a small carpentry shop in Booneville, AR (the town in which I grew up). Several months ago, I confronted them about making me a Euro case for my own use--they've been making gorgeous boutique furniture for years and I absolutely loved their visual aesthetic. So I helped them learn about modular synths, showed them where to get vector rails and threaded inserts, power supplies, etc. so that they could make me a case. They decided that it was fun and new enough that they want to continue to make and distribute these cases.

I want to stress that this is not made from wood purchased at a hardware store--these come from trees that this company has harvested purely based on each tree's unique imperfections. These trees were born and grew in Arkansas and are crafted into these gorgeous cases completely by hand and with a tremendous degree of attention to detail.

I'm not commercially affiliated with the company--they're just good friends and trusted people who are trying to branch their business in a new and interesting direction. They wanted me to check in to see about spreading the word, so I thought I'd send you an E-mail in case you're interested in sharing the information.

For any inquiries, you can contact Kim from Scentury Cedar at:
scentury@magtel.com
(479)675-5894

Or I'm glad to relay any messages that you send to me here or to strawpolygon@gmail.com."

Flame Talking Synth with Dual Joysticks

via this auction

"This is the ultra rare and very cool Flame MIDI Talking Synth from Germany.

Two Speakjet speech synthesis chips provide a stereo spread of robot voices plus beeps, alarms, noise and retro-style sci-fi sounds.

It can babble like a maniacal R2D2 robot or say dozens of pre programmed words like;

"bass, plastic, music, black hole, tekkno, mystery, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll!"

Using the 72 phonemes and allophones of the English language in it's memory it can be programmed to say any words you like.

You can hours and hours of fun with this. When hooked up to a sequencer this is a monster. You can modulate the sounds with the dual joysticks in real time and record over and over. If you are familiar with using Speak n Spells, this is the Ferrari with limitless control. You can save words and phrases you create and play them back with keyboards and sequencers via MIDI.

Also functions as a MIDI controller as all controls and joysticks send MIDI control/change data to the MIDI-OUT connector.

The synth comes with original box and manual. It is only missing one rubber foot dot on the bottom (see last pic) which does not affect it's performance at all. Works perfectly. Requires a standard 9-12V 500ma DC powersupply."

Yamaha V50 Demonstration - 4OP FM synthesis workstation with PCM drum samples

Published on Jul 31, 2014 renevanderwouden

"Demonstration of the songs made on the Yamaha V50 synthesizer workstation. This synth has the famous fm sound chip but this is an improved version of the TX81Z rack synth.

Imagine the excellent sonic characteristics of the DX11 synthesizer or TX-81Z sound module with an improved sound chip. The V50 is the ultimate 4-Operator FM synth workstation comprising 16-note polyphony, a dual effects processor (with distortion), a large dual line, backlit LCD display, a drum machine, a 16,000 note sequencer and a 3.5in floppy drive to save your songs and voices!

The DVA function and built in voice-based pitch delay are two interesting features in this synth. It's great for percussive sounds such as short bass sounds, marimbas, clavinets, etc and should one pitch an operator really high and work with the pitch bender, one gets very cool ambient effects. It's very rare yet cheap in today's 2nd-hand market and coupled with an outboard (analog) filter it makes an unbeatable digital FM synth!

via this auction

"Ultimate Percussion K2-X Analog Synthesizer System
8 Channel drum/synth with built in sequencer

This is a rare monster of a drum synth - Good luck ever seeing one of these guys again.
This UP K2-X sounds big, warm, punnchy and tough, works great and its built like a tank! All metal.
Used by Warp Records artists Plaid - in this link you can see it in their studio.
Have a listen to them to get a vibe of the sound of this.
8 trigger inputs
Individual outputs + stereo main outputs and headphone output
One special Bass drum channel
One special Snare channel
Six completely tuneable oscillator synth channels
All channels have these controls - Level, Pan, Trigger Sensitivity, Decay, Bite, Noise Filter, Noise + VCO mix, VCO pitch and VCO Sweep
All channels have Pulse button - Pulse generates an in temp trigger, good to get you tweaking right away
All channels have Preset Mode button - allows two different sound settings
Physical condition - As you can see in the photos some knobs are missing their caps and some caps are attached but need a little glue to keep them from spnning. There is one missing led light but everything functions and all knobs are clean. Marks and scratches visible in photos. Nothing major. Youll see some tape on the bottom also, you can just take that off though.

Audio condition - all good."
