"This Taurus II was just serviced by Ed Miller in Los Angeles. He installed a brand new power supply and brand new "remote keyboard" cable, and this vintage classic is now in 100% perfect working order. Please note that the stand for the synth brain/module is not included, but could easily be replaced with a standard threaded mic stand piece."

"Livewire has been fairly tight-lipped about their new module, the dual cyclotron. the rumor going around is that the design is based on a schematic hastily scribbled on a paper napkin that was reverse-engineered from a charred fragment of circuitry pinched from the site of a purported roswell ufo crash in 1947.
the net result of this extensive research is the development of the livewire dual cyclotron oscillation machine.
due to the enigmatic nature of the source technology, the machine's functions are a bit difficult to explain. in general, one could think of it as a pair of non-concentric, asymmetrical low frequency semi-periodic resonators (or cyclotrons) controlling a subordinate pseudorandom voltage generator.
the subsequent output voltage which is produced can be used to modulate vcos, vcfs, vcas, or any other devices that is voltage controllable. the dual cyclotron can be adjusted for extremely long cycles producing slowly changing soundscapes evolving over long periods of time, or ultrahigh cycle rates for totally sick sideband oscillation.
every dual cyclotron oscillation machine is assembled under sterile laboratory conditions and undergoes thorough radiation decontamination prior to shipping.
this module has a maximum current draw of 60ma. it requires 28 HP space in a eurorack frame"

On the circuit board:
"(c) Mike Brown 2006 - Livewire Electronics"
Hard to believe it's been ten years. Mike Brown passed away in 2012. He was one of the good guys, absolutely the best.
"based on an original design by the (in)famous harry bissell, jr., this module contains two quite unique lag (or slew) generators... while this module does normal glide/portamento type effects nicely, what makes it unique is the fact that you have separate control over the rise time, fall time and shape of the curve... very useful and fun to play with.
specifications:
inputs: 2x signal input
outputs: 2x signal output
controls: both slews offer controls for rise time, fall time and shape (continual adjustment from linear to exponential).
space usage: 10 HP
current consumption: 45ma
ships with doepfer-style power connector."

R.A. Moog 701 Drum Synthesizer - Part 5 - Drum Sounds...!
Published on Oct 13, 2015 noddyspuncture
"OK, so here it is - the first one. Is this the kind of thing that Bob had in mind when he sat down and designed these modules? To do this I first needed to hook up some "noise" - which I did via the Minimoog. White & Pink are what I'm using here... but really, instead of 'White' I actually need 'Red' - or so it tells me on the front panel. 'Red' will have to wait as I need to now build some dedicated noise modules. But anyway, here is my very first attempt at getting percussive sounds out of it... and it does take a bit of getting used to setting it up to get these 'tight' type of sounds...!"
R.A. Moog 701 Drum Synthesizer - Part 6 - Drum Sounds...!
Published on Oct 13, 2015
"And here it is - the second one. Again I am using 'White' & 'Pink' noise via the Minimoog. Sure does give you a sore finger... next I shall have to try hooking it up the the 1130 drum controller or even triggering it via the Q960 analog sequencer...! What I've noticed about this, and I quite like, is that there seems to be a 'pedalled hi-hat' sound following each hit on certain envelope settings and also sometimes it 'multiple triggers' giving a slight ratcheting effect...;)"

Midi Drum Sticks with Waldorf Blofeld
Published on May 26, 2014
Some high frequencies at 1:22 and 2:47 on in this one. Be careful with volume levels.
"Vic Firth drum sticks augmented with accelerometers. Movement of the sticks is translated to a midi stream via an Arduino Uno board. When an impact is detected a midi note is generated. Axial rotation of the drumstick does a pitch bend and the slope of the sticks controls aftertouch. All midi is processed by the Waldor Blofeld into weirdly sounding synth scapes :-)"
