Bugbrand WorkshopCrusher

via Thonk

"The BugBrand WorkshopCrusher DIY kit provides all the parts to build a compact Analogue Sample-rate Reducer device. The kit design and documentation aim to make the process as straight forward and informative as possible, suitable even for complete beginners to electronics.

The WorkshopCrusher is part of the BugCrusher family, with the WorkshopCrusher a new refinement of the classic MicroCrusher design

The kit includes rubber feet so it’s ready to use instantly without an enclosure.

It does not include a power supply. The PSU required is the common ‘Boss’ type of guitar pedal supply. (a 2.1mm 9v DC power socket with centre- negative polarity).

This was designed for typical 9V operation, but the circuit should be fine running direct off +12V or +15V (unipolar – no negative rail)."

What Makes a Minimoog So Special?
The distinctive sound of the Moog Minimoog has a lot to do with the fact that its 3rd oscillator doubles as a low-frequency oscillator! Bob Moog Foundation Archive and Education Specialist Marc Doty demonstrates how the Minimoog's 3rd oscillator contributes to its legendary sound."

Recent service including a new battery circuit that replaces the NiCad batteries with lithium and eliminates the charging circuit."

via the seller: "Vintage ARP 2800 Odyssey MKI with CV and audio jacks. original 4023 filter. This is another one of the earliest blackface arp odysseys and it's only slightly newer than the other one i listed recently.

Recent service and full calibration. Very clean. The keyboard plays very well and has had brand new bushings installed. It has half a dozen keys that are faded, but the whole keybed has been cleaned and all are original to this keyboard. I've recapped the power supply to ensure factory a spec performance. This is a great example of a very original odyssey. At the time of the recent service it appeared that none of the PCB boards, the power supply, or keyboard had ever been removed. All screws still had their red paint seals intact. The main A B and C boards still have not been removed. The faders do slide and function. The Waveform select switch for the Sample and Hold mixer has broken off so that it is flat. It does work and move as it should, but has to be moved with something that can reach it. Fortunately, that switch is pretty rarely used; so, i chose to leave it original. This is a great playing synthesizer. It scales, plays in tune well, and sounds great.

100% working as-described or it's returnable, as covered by ebay policy. This is a great synthesizer. I've tried to show the condition the best i can in the pictures. I'll try and put a picture of the inside up asap."
