New KORG Eurorack Module?

Well, that all depends on how you define it. This module actually comes to us from Ninstrument:

"How much fun is this? Take a new Korg Mini KaossPad 2 and customize it to fit a eurorack modular. I hope Korg is watching, because they could easily double the price of their current offering just by adding a couple of necessities and putting it behind a panel. I added attenuation knobs of the incoming left and right channels and then added an amp to both outgoing channels to boost it to modular levels. I also added a latching switch to the mic input, so you can use it as an effective 3rd channel in. Using the hold feature is like setting two pots instantly, so fellow wigglers that kinda changes the game as far as immediate performance of your effects in euroland:) Before you write this off as cheesy, look at the list of features this little guy has and compare it to any of your current eurorack modules.

Product Highlights:

Control and modulate a wide assortment of cutting-edge effects with the intuitive touchpad interface

MP3 player with microSD card slot for audio data storage/exchange; add effects to audio without additional equipment!

100 effect programs ideal for putting your own “touch” on any live performance

Virtual crossfader for transitioning between onboard media files and audio inputs. Combine with an external media player – or another Mini Kaoss Pad 2 – for DJ-style performances!

3 Program memory locations instantly recall favorite effects

Includes powerful Looper, Vinyl Break, and Ducking Compressor effects distilled from the Kaoss Pad Quad

Internal mic and external audio inputs for input flexibility

Record performances – with effects performances included – and save them to microSD

6 preset audio demo loops to experiment with right out of the box

Synthrotek DS-M and Friends

Published on Dec 16, 2014 Oren Levy

"The Synthrotek DS-M kit just arrived and I got it all assembled. The patch is explained in the beginning of the video. Modules used: DS-M, Pittsburgh Toolbox, Synthrotek Dirt, Eowave Magnetosphere filter, Makenoise Function, and Synthrotek Echo.

CV and gate is coming from a Minibrute.

This video shows the oscillator and it's amazing strangeness. Maybe I'll make another to show it's percussive sounds.
I want like 5 DS-Ms now!"

via this auction

"This is an exceedingly powerful combination of digital/analog hybrid synth, sampler engine. It's an utterly high-end piece of gear – up there with the Moog Voyager, Cwejman, and Modcan gear.

Here's some of what you get.

Incredibly warm and powerful 24db lowpass filter, and 12db multimode filter
Four incredibly versatile digital oscillators, with DX7-style Phase Modulation, variable bitdepth, all kinds of intermodulation, waveshaping, and ring modulation
Filterbank with variable frequency spread, highly controllable from the sequencer
Incredibly powerful sequencer: step sequencing, pattern sequencing,
Probably the best-sounding sampler engine you've ever heard

Not very different from Spectralis 2. Some less sample memory, different OS, a few different buttons, and different card slot compatibility."

Introducing the Nodular Desktop Synthesizer - Two Sided Analog Monophonic Semi-Modular Synthesizer

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

via this auction

Update: the maker/brand name for this synth is ndlr.synths. I created a new channel label for them. We have a new synthesizer manufacturer in town.  See second "Update" at the bottom of this post for additional notes on the design.

via the auction:
"Up for sale: one monophonic analog synthesizer. I've been making analog synthesizers for about 15 years now, but this is the first I am offering up for sale to the 'general public'. I am hoping to make a business out of selling this particular model, and you could be my very first customer.

The pictures show the same unit that is up for sale. The cabinet is made from 3/4" natural cherry boards, except for the base, which is made of 3/4" MDF. Both instrument panels are made of 1/8" thick anodized aluminum. The panels have been mechanically engraved and the engravings filled with chemically hardened black enamel paint. The whole unit measures about 18" wide by 18" deep by 12" tall. It weighs about 40 pounds. This is a very well made unit, with sturdy instrument panels that'll last a lifetime.

This synthesizer has its own +15/+10/GND/-10/-15 volt power supply and will only run on 120VAC 60Hz. It consumes about 45 watts of power at full bore.

All the modules in this synthesizer have been designed to work together seamlessly, and all use the same standards: 1 volt per octave, 10 volt peak-to-peak signal voltages, and 5 volt peak-to-peak gate, trigger, and control voltages. All patches are made among the modules via banana jacks. And a few different ways of interfacing to external modules or instruments are offered via 1/4" phone jacks.

A description of the different modules follows:

(1) ring modulator

(1) white and pink noise and random voltage source

(1) sample/track & hold

(1) voltage comparator

(2) low frequency oscillators (LFOs):

(1) headphone amplifier

Both offer voltage controlled frequency, variable offset and symmetry, and sinusoidal, triangular, and pulse wave outputs. By adjusting the speed knob, the frequency can be changed from about 20Hz down to really, really, slow. This range can be extended through voltage control.

(3) voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs):

All three offer 1 volt per octave frequency control, voltage controlled pulse width modulation, ac-coupled linear frequency control, hard sync, and sine, triangle, sawtooth, and pulse wave outputs. They'll track to within .2% over at least 8 octaves with basically negligible temperature drift once the enclosure is warmed up. And they'll operate from below audio to above audio frequencies.

In addition, the first VCO offers a frequency range switch and fine tuning.

"This auction is for one vintage minimoog model d synthesizer, it has clear wheels, old oscillator board/filter and the early graphics, older metal faceplate. It doesn't have a serial number printed on the back but the boards say right around 1300 number on both of them which makes sense..."

"All audio and video content c.2014 G-Storm Electro

All original patches. Mostly bass, arpeggio and some sound FX stuff. The only sound is the Sub37 and sometimes the Volca Beats (off camera) mixed on an Alesis Multimix8. No effects added to the synth recording."
