Some details on the OSV V2:

"Analog Utility Oscillator
Suggested Retail Price - $179

A wide range, compact, analog VCO with a simple but 100% useful feature set. The streamlined Oscillator shares the same saw wave oscillator core circuitry as the larger Waveforms oscillator module providing it with massive analog triangle, saw, and pulse waves. The Oscillator offers 5 octaves of 1 volt per octave tracking, a frequency range starting as low as 7 seconds per cycle, allowing it to double as a reliable voltage controlled LFO, and an attenuated CV input that can be used for linear frequency modulation or pulse width modulation.

Simultaneous Triangle, Saw, and Pulse Wave Outputs
Excellent Logarithmic Conformance
Temperature Compensated 1 Volt Per Octave Operation
Sawtooth Wave Based Oscillator Circuit
Linear Frequency Modulation
PWM Input: 5% to 95%
LFO Below Audio Frequency Operation

OSCILLATOR CONTROLS:
Frequency and Fine Tune Controls - Full range sweeping coarse tune and limited range fine tune knobs.

CV Input - Frequency modulation or pulse width modulation CV input and attenuator.

FM/PW Switch - CV Input frequency modulation or pulse width modulation destination selector switch.

Oscillator Patch Points:
1V/O IN - One volt per octave CV input.
TRIANGLE WAVE OUT - Triangle wave output.
SAW WAVE OUT - Saw wave output.
PULSE WAVE OUT - Pulse wave output."

"To be surrounded by such awesome musical instruments is a treat. I am blessed to be able to play music with these synths. TR8 is the clock for the Analog 4 which is sending CV trig and gate to the ARP Odyssey. OB8 is running through Eventide Space into the TR-8 inputs. I make up this music just for an excuse to play on these keyboards."

Roland CR-78 with a Fenix I & Fenix III

"A bit of an experiment. The Roland CR 78 is sometimes difficult to sync as it requires a clock of 48 counts per measure. The Fenix III sequencer luckily has a clock divider module.

Update: Some details for the DRUM SYNTH via Noyztoise. Click through each link for additional pics & details.  Details for the NT03 aren't up yet as of this post, but it appears to be a follow up to the NT02 featured here.

Update: info on the NT03 is now on Noyztoise. Image and some info captured below for the archives.

DRUM SYNTH

"This project began in early December of 2013. it was originally a commission, but the deal ended up falling through, and i never got paid for it. hopefully i can find someone out there to buy it from me to make up for my losses.

The original concept was based around the Synare3 circuit. the Synare3 consisted of two CMOS oscillators, a white noise generator, a four-pole resonant lowpass filter, a voltage controlled amplifier, and two envelope generators that modulated the filter cutoff and VCA amplitude.

My task was to build a modern variation on the circuit that would enable CV/EXP. PEDAL inputs to the oscillators, filter, and VCA. this would mean replacing the CMOS oscillators with voltage controlled oscillators. i was also asked to add the ability to 'transpose' the oscillators frequency range, create multiple waveforms, add a 'crossfade' between one oscillator and the noise generator, add a line-in mix, and a pushbutton switch that would fully trigger the envelope generators..."

"The NT03 consists of two square wave voltage controlled oscillators, a holtek voice modulator circuit, a voltage controlled filter(VCF), and a low frequency oscillator(LFO) that can either/or modulate the filter cutoff, gate the voice modulator transpose sequencer."

via Studiologic:

"Studiologic is proud to introduce a new 2.0 version of its renowned Sledge synthesizer, with new features and sound innovations that will set this instrument above any competitor, thanks to new mix of pure synthesis and sound sampling.
In addition to the incredible sound engine and the user’s friendly vintage control panel, the new features further expand the instrument’s power and versatility; Studiologic and Waldorf Labs (working as a team) have made Sledge 2.0 more flexible as a pure synthesizer, adding the ability to play in Dual Mode two programs at the same time, load Samples and mix post processing Effects in a never ending sound creation.

Sledge 2.0 Key features
NewFeaturesAuto Dual mode: Sledge 2.0 can now play two sounds at the same time, in Split or Layer mode; the feature is controlled by a new page of the Global function and allows to simply keep one note (for Split) or more notes (for Layer) and then select a new sound, that will be added to the previous sound; as any other sound, also Dual Sound combinations can be permanently stored in any of the 1.000 available presets;

Sample Player: sound samples and new waves can be loaded in the internal 60 megabyte of Flash memory, played by OSC 1 and modifiable by all parameters of the control panel, adding other oscillators, setting filters, envelopes and effects. This feature can constantly expands the instrument’s sounds and create a totally new combination of synthesis and sampling.

Pitch & Hold controls: a new Global page allows to enable the Pitch and the Hold separately for the Lower and Upper sounds in Dual Mode, allowing to use the Pitch bend on the Upper sound (i.e. for solo parts) and the Hold pedal to control only the Lower (to keep playing a Drums groove or as a Damper for a Piano sound) and vice versa, or to enable Pitch Bend and Hold on both Upper and Lower sounds;

Reverb+Delay: a new function allows to mix both effects; the Reverb keeps the setting previously selected, while the real time controls (time and level) allows to set the parameters of Delay also when mixed.

Enhanced Polyphony: the total maximum number or notes that can be played at the same time have been expanded to 24, allowing to get a better real time control over the new sound possibilities obtainable from synthesis and sampling together.

Sledge Spectre: samples can be edited (keyboard range, tuning and other parameters) and transmitted to Sledge 2.0 by the USB port, with this easy sample editor that allows to first load and play the samples on your Computer and then download them into the instrument’s memory."
